The Asdrubal idea is something I've thought of too. It would be a more onvious move in Barefield were forcing his way back up. I really think they have to see what they have in Marte.

Maybe Garko should sit for a while.Ron Vallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515792183023966479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666431387884521496.post-82059590590861850252008-05-09T13:15:00.000-04:002008-05-09T13:15:00.000-04:00Hey, Ron. Fellow NYC Tribe fan and former MVN Trib...Hey, Ron. Fellow NYC Tribe fan and former MVN Tribe Report blogger here. Remember me? I actually went to all three games this week and, saw two wins, but none of them all that impressive offensively. Lee was staggering as it was the best pitching performance i've ever witnessed in person. As far as yesterday's game, I went there expecting to lose because it was set up as a game we would lose: we'd won the first two games and were playing an afternoon getaway game, which they almost never win. Byrd was starting, and he rarely seems to string more than two good starts together (although he wasn't a disaster and looked great for four innings). I just didn't like our chances. But I was really impressed with our first three run rally, and I, too, like seeing Francisco and Gutz in the outfield together. At least for now, it makes sense with Dellucci hot and Hafner, you know, NOT hot.<BR/><BR/>I'm not as frustrated as I thought I'd be though. I'm starting to see a little life in the offense, if only in spurts. We'll see if this series carries over into this weekend as something to build on. Either way, I think 88 wins will win the division, and if that's the case, I won't care about anyone's record -- including ours -- all year!BrainOfJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551292924147523486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666431387884521496.post-91132939466225270412008-05-08T20:10:00.000-04:002008-05-08T20:10:00.000-04:00I thought the same thing last night about that bas...I thought the same thing last night about that based loaded spot in the 9th. I realize Hafner coulda used the confidence but he seems completely lost and could use a good week off as you suggested. His timing is off and his hands seem overactive as if he's trying to compensate for something. I think if you leave marte in that spot and he gets a double or even a deep fly it does wonders for his confidence and the mere fact that he knows the manager wanted him in that spot has got to help. I agree though with marte completely, get him out there playing 4-5 days a week see what he's got. No one else is hitting their weight let alone carrying the team so see what the kid can do. <BR/><BR/>Also im beginning to think a trip to AAA might do Asdrubal some good if he continues to struggle with pitch recognition. The problem with that move is barfield hasn't exactly been tearing it up but he may be struggling with the redemotion like garko and francisco did before him. <BR/><BR/>Pitching: I love the way the Cobra battles but how much longer is he going struggle thru games with laffey and sowers pitching lights out down in Buffalo? <BR/><BR/>good series and hopefully they can get CC and fausto back on track against toronto because runs will hard to come by with their rotation dealing the way it is now. Wouldn't it be funny if this is the series the offense comes out of their winter hibernation.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279559918132093746noreply@blogger.com
