But traditionally, the team sucks in April and gets better even when it doesn't have as drastic a re-arrangement as our pitching staff has.

If it's the 9th and he's kept it to four runs I don't take him out. Thats no credit to Lohse...

SO the important thing isn't staying healthy so much as figuring out how to be better in April - no matter who plays.

Lohse should be pulled in the bottom of the 7th or 8th AFTER he bats in the top of the inning...that's how cholly plays it.

Things are not going well.

But, we are still very much in this game if we can get out of this inning without any more damage.

radano:

Cole Hamels threw in the bullpen and is ready to go on Tuesday night. He said he felt good and will go between 65-75 pitches on Tuesday.

Shawn Green stole second?

i fucking hate that canned "let's go mets" chant starter

Lose should be pulled aside and provided a map with directions to the strikezone

no throw, neither

Lohse is really starting to annoy me. It's one thing to ge knocked around because you suck, quite another to make it one's mission not to throw strikes.

Didn't you get the memo, wins in April don't matter. Despite the continuing decrease in opportunities to win games, and the difficulty in having to maintain a high win/loss ratio in a smaller period of time later in the season.

That's not on Coste. Lohse never looked, never stepped off, because he was concentrating so hard, I guess, on making sure he didn't accidentally throw a strike.

OK, let's get these back.

fair enough; in fact Lose manages not to hit longlasting miller and maybe give willie something to think about after Peerdo throws 25 pitches in the Phils' half.
