Damn, Jim Edmonds.

[The Argonaut]

D. Willis smacks a solo HR to RF that barely clears the wall.
badass. It's too bad you can't hit him seventh!

[The Argonaut]

Santana was pretty solid there for those 5 innings.

His pitch count was only at 83. Why take him out? He was mowing them down.

[Norah]

Those Argonauts really couldn't get anything going there.

Meanwhile, my team had Hernandez up to 155 pitches while getting lit up in the ninth. Odd.

[Norah]

This is an outrage!

[philpritchard]

Damn, Jim Edmonds.

Putting Edmonds in for Sizemore was the only change I made heading into this game. That's what we call manager's intuition.

I have to go back and look through the box scores to see how each game actually went, but when I saw Edmonds went yard I thought "wow, nice move Phil!"

[Lament]

Numbers is up 2-0, and heading back to Fenway Park. That doesn't bode well for #BRL.

Haha thanks! I even questioned what I should do about it because I was subbing in a lefty for a lefty, but at least Edmonds hit lefties well.

I still wish we could have a DH. It would be nice to have Bagwell or Olerud in the lineup once in a while.
