Our biggest problem isn't our hitters expanding the zone, it's the fact that we have 3 guaranteed outs every time pitchers go through the order, and it's nigh impossible to put together consistent offense like that.

Brendan Ryan is a defensive replacement masquerading as an everyday SS.

Skip Schumaker is a AAAA utility player.

Combine that with the fact that we have no threats from the bench, save for Felipe (and Stavinoha, I guess) and you have what you have.

This team cannot mount consistent offense until we get at least 1 WAR production from our middle infielders.
Ryan and Shu are not .190 hitters. They are hitting .190 because they are expanding their zones. Trying to get out of their slumps in one at bat.

No, but Ryan is a .700 OPS guy, and Skip is a .750 OPS guy, and that's just not good enough.

Ludwick
Pujols
holliday
Rasmus
Freese
Molina

Are as good as anyone else's in MLB. That right there should be good enough to get wins. Put our pitching in the mix.....We are underperforming. We can only get better. We still have the biggest lead in any division in the NL. We have the 2nd best record in the NL. We won't keep hitting like this.

Yep. Not having a catcher that is an offensive liability or a corner OF that can't hit for power makes it fine to not have much power from the middle infield. Still it will be nice to have lopez back.

Holliday sits and we put up 11 runs after not scoring at last night. Crazy.

Nice get back on track. If the entire lineup ever gets it together hitting wise it would be a slaughter.

We are going to win the Central division (barring multiple injuries) easily. Our hitters just need to be clicking in September/October. We have the starting pitching to hang with the Phillies and the Yankees in a playoff series. our defense is good enough to hang. It's the hitting that will make or break us in the playoffs.

Yea Holliday needs to earn his $ in the playoffs and then it will be worth it.If not it was a waste of $.

I'm glad we managed to salvage a little ****ing dignity today. What an awful road trip. Glad it's over.

We go back home with the best record in the NL for a 3 game series against the worst team in the NL. :thumb:

****ing Ryan. Goddamn you.

2 errors, one of which leads to 3 ****ing runs once Penny runs out of gas.

'Hamas' Jenkins 05-11-2010 08:11 PM
Make that four ****ing runs.

*facepalm*

It's always good when you can compliment your putrid hitting with awful, disinterested fielding.

Lopez needs to be starting for this team. Be it SS or 2b, I don't really care. But these two chuckleheads we have on the middle infield right now are not getting it done.

Somebody needs to remind Brendan Ryan that he still has an option left and if JJ Hardy can get a ticket to AAA, so can he.

'Hamas' Jenkins 05-11-2010 08:16 PM
Thank God after that inning Tony told Ryan to

Dammit.

That AB was Reggie Sanders-esque.

Ludwick trying to kill the Asstros pitcher.

NTTAWWT :evil:

From the tenor of the last few posts, I'm glad I didn't tune in until just now.
