We beat the cubs on a randall grichuk grand slam
Weaver grew up in the area where l live. Some buddies down here are really into local baseball. They said when we drafted him that he was the best pitcher they ever saw in this area and at college. [Reply]

He's gonna be a good one. A strikeout pitcher.. he went like 7-2 with 70+ ks last year [Reply]
5 walks with no outs in the 3rd throwing in the mid 80’s. Hate to say it, but Waino looks like toast. He doesn’t look right. Some of those “change ups” were fastballs. [Reply]

Yes but when it’s clear that a player doesn’t have it, it’s the managers fault for leaving him in. [Reply]
Wainwright needs to go to the big pitcher pasture in the sky.
Flaherty or Gant need to be starting.
Edited to add:I don't even know if you can blame Matheny at this point. He's going to ride Wainwright until the end, rightly or wrongly. If/when he's moved to the BP or off the roster, you're going to have different players in the clubhouse complain about him no longer starting.
Only way to resolve this problem is to place Wainwright on the 60 day DL, have him ready in September, and let him ride off into the sunset. [Reply]
Well, we know who he learned it from. Remember the last days of McGwire when he was an absolute, guaranteed out and LaRussa wouldn't bench him? :-) [Reply]
