It looks like he is actually starting to progress, as opposed to Maxwell who consistently looks lost.<br /><br />On an unrelated note, I would love to see what a Dibble-led pitching staff would look like. He seems genuinely confused every time a pitcher does not throw his "best pitch." I realize Strasburg's command of the changeup was off today, but I have no problem with him pitching carefully to Hafner. Despite Dibble's quips about his "slow bat," he put up 4 straight seasons of 100+ RBI before missing large chunks of the last 2 seasons.NattyLitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-7572728891361803592010-06-13T16:13:20.275-04:002010-06-13T16:13:20.275-04:00what bob dole said. your comment speaks for itself...what bob dole said. your comment speaks for itself. <br /><br />"I honestly do believe that Riggs planned out long ago to go into Cleveland and play a weak lineup to give Acta a boost." <br /><br />the "to give acta a boost" caveat says it all. <br /><br />it was an idiotic comment, trying to excuse it instead of owning up to it only makes you look more idiotic.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848419973469239512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-43726288002746895992010-06-13T16:04:49.613-04:002010-06-13T16:04:49.613-04:00Looks like Riggleman picked a good line-up today. ...Looks like Riggleman picked a good line-up today. <br />The Morse Bernadina RF line 3AB 2H 3RBI 1BB.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-11770860303968514822010-06-13T16:01:33.237-04:002010-06-13T16:01:33.237-04:00CWJ: According to the scoreboard gun, yes, he hit ...CWJ: According to the scoreboard gun, yes, he hit 100 nine times.
