... and what did I tell you. Branyan goes 3-4... time to BENCH him! Seriously, if Branyan is really SO hurt that he can't play consecutive games nor more than 2 games a week, WHY isn't he on the DL.

 

Normally I would agree with you, but Francis is a lefty and Russell has not been very good against lefties. At some point, however, you need to put him out there and let him take a whack at a lefty or two.

Bill Hall vs a lefty at Coors! Yes he will hit the ball hard three times.

 

Now his baserunning is hopefully going to be much better. I didn't know if not running on the passed ball and standing on the base was on the 3rd base coach or Billy.

 

Let's forget last night and put up a 10 spot tonight!

Not to re-hash last nights blunders, but Bill Hall screwed up three times on the bases that inning. He should have scored on Overbay's double, the runner should always look and see where the OF is lined up so he should have known that Overbay had a double at least instead of holding before running. Secondly, any runner at third should score on a ground ball to the right side, especially one with Bill's speed. Finally, the aforementioned passed ball. It's not the base coach's job to get a real lead-off on the pitch and be awake. Bill is a professional baseball player, he should know better on his own. NO excuse.

If you are going to play Overbay and Jenkins against lefties then why not Branyan?

 

You really don't know? Jenkins and Overbay have to play. There are really no good options at those positions. There are alternatives at 3B. Why put a third left handed bat in there when you don't have to?

 

Besides when they bring the righty out of the pen, now there will be more than one left handed option beside everyone's favorite switch hitter.
