Other than half of our bench, everyone Wes Helms'd tonight

Shades of last year...get a few runs early, sit on it and do nothing offensively for (most of) the rest of the game.

That happens when you have to start 2 bench players.

[MiamiHomer]

Ricky also gave up a lot of hard hit balls today.

[Bobbob1313]

That happens when you are Ricky Nolasco.

But as long as he spreads them out like today and keeps people off the basepaths, he's fine.

Defense helped him a lot in the outfield.

[Bobbob1313]

Given that no pitcher really has much control over where a ball is hit to, that also happens.

I am really glad we kept Leo Nunez, instead of spending that money on a 3B...or something else.

How long until he loses the closers role and Clay Hensley takes over?

The Webb thing was partially Edwin Rodriguez fault for bringing him in in a situation to fail.

If Mike Dunn continues to dominate righties like that, that would be awesome. The Willie Harris 2B was a fluke. Wasn't even a terrible pitch, and it just found a hole, anyway.

Whatever.

One loss.

Coghlan looked alright in CF too. Much better than I expected, especially considering it's only the 2nd game of the season.

The subpar bench also did a good job tonight...aside from the professional.

Oh, and Infante kinda pissed me off because he owned us in those bottom of the 9th situations over the years, but whatever. He's still pretty cool and looks good, defensively.

[MiamiHomer]

Meant it more as a compliment to the outfield.

[Erick]

Also, Nolasco was lucky tonight. On a normal night of luck against a better team, it would've been a bad start.

[Chewford]

I dislike when we lose to the Mets and really would prefer if we would refrain from doing so in the future.

[Beef]

It was an abnormal night of luckiness

[Bobbob1313]

I was going to come here and say that people on MB.com want Leo traded already, and then someone from mb.com came and said he should be gone. Wee!

[Beef]

This won't be popular, but Hanley looks like shit. I bet we could get a top notch bench for him
