Gamel-Hall
One argument for letting Gamel hit there would be that it allows you to double-switch Hall at third, batting ninth (coming up second this inning).
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Probably not - instead Duffy will face a righty
But it’s an argument you could use.

OK, Hyatt, I've got a question for you.
I know fantasy talk is frowned upon in threads, so you guys can ignore this.
I picked up CV, thinking he would get a save opp. on Friday. The rainout screwed that plan up for me, as Hoffman got the night off, and Villy couldn’t pitch. I dropped CV today and picked up CJ Wilson. Good Move?

for the time being yes

why do they call him frankie the chair?

Throwing a chair at a fan might have had something to do with it

nope....
poor planning by me, seeing as TEX doesn’t play tonight. I should have kept him til the game started, then made the move. Oh Well.. lesson learned.

Heads up play by the catcher
He almost got Counsell out after he rounded first
Cards Announcers On Gamel's First Career HR, ""That’s all they need is another home run hitter".
Only 1 relief pitcher left
and 3 starters, since the 4th starter is Carpenter
HA
Bill giving the catcher props for being in position to back up that throw regardless of the fact that all did was take like 3 steps towards first and not really move at all.

anyone else remember
when he managed the A’s and decided he’d forget the traditional ‘starter’ and have each starting P pitch 2 innings …each game? Anyone? Anyone?
That's just ridiculous

I remember his managing the A's
but that must have been after Dave Stewart left. I can imagine his reaction to that.
Grumpily insisting Tony only throw his two-seamer?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
i thought it was 3 innings
but in any case: yeah. the idea was to keep them fresh so they had their top game every day (or every second game?). the pitchers made him give it up though, as the one that started the game couldn’t get the win. Seems rather petty to me.
