Saving the homestand

• Doc wuz ossum.


• It was also nice that the bats showed up early to support him, but when you give up 7 singles and no walks you don't need that much run support.


• An Hill finly got a hit, an it wuz a homed run.


• He also drew only his second walk during his 0-for-25 slump, which is easy not to notice in a world that cares more about batting average than OBP.


• Jaze didnt do much after da third, tho.


• It is alarming when they shut it down after a few innings, even when they have the lead and Doc is on the mound. Also, none of our runes came on hits with RISP.


• Even if Davies wuz throwin gud, it wuz excessiv to have him go the whole game.


• We thought it was stupid when Halladay threw 133 in his previous start, and Davies is no Halladay.


• Dis week will be tuff. Jaze is in Texis wifout Doc.


• And the Red Sox and Yankees are playing each other, so we can't gain on both at once and if we lose we give up a game to one of them.


• Better not luze den.

Too Much Of A Good Thing

• Jaze winned! Doc pitched a compleat game!


• He also set a personal record for strikeouts in a game with 14, but it was completely insane having him start the 8th, let alone the 9th.


• Do yu hate Doc? Why can he not has a personal milestone?


• When has Doc seemed like a guy who cares about personal accomplishments more than the team winning? And if he gets hurt because he threw 133 pitches, that hurts the team's chances of winning, no matter what personal milestone he set.


• But da bullpen blowed da last 2 gamez Doc started.


• On Friday and Saturday, League and Downs were dominant in the last two innings, and with the loss on Sunday and the off day Monday they were well rested. Doesn't it send a bad message to the rest of the team if the ace trusts his own teammates so little that he has to risk injury or ineffectiveness to close out a game himself when he struggled in the 7th? Is Casey Janssen supposed to feel good about League and Downs pitching in his start when Doc doesn't?


• So ur mad at Doc?


• Mostly I'm mad at Cito. Of course Doc is going to say he wants to stay in, but it's Cito's job to protect the team's investment in its players and its chances of winning in the future.


• He keeps hiz players in so they feel confident an play better later.


• After winning a Cy Young award I hope Doc doesn't need to pitch the 8th and 9th after a rough 7th to feel confident as a pitcher. Anwyays, confidence isn't worth much if your arm falls off.


• Nao hooz being melodramatic?
