Okay...what happens now is we score several runs when we don't need them and then we go dry for the next two games. LOL
Backe is a career .400 hitter in the big leagues! He's 8 for 20. We need to see if he can play the outfield.
According to Larry Dierker.... 1. Backe caught fly balls before the game. I don't know why but it must be for fun. 2. Taveras hit monster shots during BP. Dierk said he was surprised by Willie's power and it showed in the game. Maybe Willie Power is underrated. Talking about Willie, lets do this kid justice and move him up. Garner did the right thing in moving Lane to cleanup and now it is time to move Willie up. WT is a leadoff guy and Adam is being purnished in that role now. It will not be seen as a sign of lack of confidence in him rather a move with the betterment of the team at heart. Willie has proven that he belongs in the big league - so the 8th hole experiment should stop there. In fact I believe his struggles now, at least prior to this game, is in large part due to his hitting spot. We need his intangibles and speed at the top. Adam is more of an underrated clutch rbi guy that will be perfect in the 6th or 7th hole. Please Garner do this and watch this team score more runs per game. If nothing else, everybody thinks it is the right move including coaches and former coaches. There is no room for obstination here. Do the right thing.
yeah i mean the only game Clemens won he drove in the 2 go ahead runs to get the win. 2 other starts he gets a ND because the team can't even score 1 run...
