    The needle will do him wonders.

    Guy has some bat speed.

    I think Singleton has a chance to be a Ryan Howard clone with time, considering his plate approach, bat speed, and K rate :rolleyes:!

    Lots of talent, coming on up.

    Has Bo Porter ever given a reason why Sipp was demoted back to situational lefty. It's especially perplexing seeing as how he has shown no propensity to get lefties out at any noticeable clip.

    Looking at his game log, he was dominant when being used as a regular relief pitcher, and then after the May 27 game (he still hadn't given up a run at this point) he only faced 2 batters in 9 days, both one lefty outings. Not that I expected much from Sipp, I always expected a journeyman like him to turn back into a pumpkin, but he's been dealing so why screw with it.

    This only really bothers me because i have to watch Jerome Williams give up a run, every freaking time out. Porter continues to make strange (i.e. bad) decisions with relief pitchers. Not that I think we've had a lot of talent out there, but he's been making it worse since he got the job.

    I know, my problem was with his inconsistent use the 9 days prior when he was blowing people away.

    I'm much more concerned with the use of Williams than I am with the use of Sipp.

    Fowler has been great, not only on the field as an OBP machine but as a team leader as well. Great pickup.

    You can just tell with Singleton that he will get it. Great hit tool

    Feldman... the master of allowing the unearned run.

    Feldman leaves the ball up too much for my liking.

    I know it isn't going to happen, but am I the only one that would rather see Obie every 5 days rather than Feldman?

    Anybody have a link?

    2 errors in the inning can't help either.
