    Not really. We have a six run lead now with 2 innings to go. I would hope we don't have any 27 ERA guys on the team.

    Biggio is 3-5 with a homer, Mo went yard twice and even Everrett is 2-3. Nice April offense.

    Mo's on fire. Berkman was hitting everything about 1000 mph, just kept finding someone's glove. Bidge got his groove back. Poindexter is even swinging the bat well. :eek:

    Lead almost completely gone... maybe its really not worth it to save Brad's legs for half a game. This Munson guy is losing the pitchers, and the pitchers are losing control of this game.

    Well Zeke is on the mound and hasn't exactly been stellar this year. Oswalt is prone to one bad inning too, example last year's World Series.

    True... but now if this game becomes close, you're going to depend on this non-catcher to catch Lidge's slider?

    Also, I normally expect changes to be made after the 7th inning (or at least when your starter is done)... Garner got greedy and tried to get some extra AB's for Munson... and now its time to play "bite the nails".

    Call-up Hector Gimenez? Is Humberto still w/ the organization? I believe he is.

    12-10...this is getting WAY uncomfortable....Lidge needs to heat it up.

    Crap, and us with our scrubs in there, this would be a massive collapse.

    Jebus! The Brewers have some young and talented hitters. Time to bring in a real relief pitcher.

    Since when is Munson not a catcher? Do we not plan to run Lidge or anyone else out there on days Wandy pitches? Should we expect Wandy to give up a dozen runs every day? If we have a backup catcher who can't catch and can't hit, then I would hope we'd go and get someone else.

    These runs are on the pitchers throwing crappy pitches, not the backup catcher.

    Why do the Astros have Miller and Gallo in the bullpen? Just because you can throw lefthanded doesn't make you good.

    Move Ausmus back behind the plate Munson is not calling that good a game right now.

    And Major is correct the pitchers are not exactly doing that great either.
