Yeah, it's not why did we give the 8th to Wood. It's why did Wood get the 8th after a bad 7th.

Lindstrom has a KRod-y windup

[Swifty]

And the other thing is, no matter which turd sandwich comes in for the 8th, there's never an issue of "why did we pull Wood, he was rolling!?!?!?!???"

[FishFanInPA]

this is all lefty's fault for questioning his meaningless game thread record.

Bake trying to get it started.

Right, it just becomes why the fuck did he put that piece of shit in?

But yeah, fine, switch to another piece of shit and we could still all be miserable.

At the very least, switching bullpen shit for bullpen shit and watching em all suck would be a fuck you front office, perhaps.

[Blackout Pact]

Although I am quite obviously overreacting here, I'm sick of Fredi and am often times shocked he is still a manager. I understand bringing him out in the 8th but after giving up the first two hits, don't you at least think about replacing him?

[FishFanInPA]

It is odd to go with him for 2 innings though considering the whole pen had to be available.

[Swifty]

Beef, it's fun to play contrarian and all that, but come on, it'd be one thing if we had nothing to go on for April 20th (since I fully believe that we're just a day-to-day thing with who's good down there) but he went with Wood after a bad 7th, after an off day, when his two best relievers, Henlsey and Hopper, were clearly available.

Tonight, the only guy I can understand staying away from is Gaby since he's the emergency catcher with Paulino apparently hurt. Other than that, you use the bullpen. It was, at that point in the 8th, a 1 run game, you shouldn't finish the night using two pitchers and wonder why you came out on the short end of it.

We let the Astros score 1/4 of the total amount of runs they have scored this year!

Lance Berkman is a big deal.

[kylekash]

[Beef]

I was agreeing with you, Swift
