Lowell has regained much of his mobility.
I was the most skeptical out of everyone here about his recovery really.
About the diving play, i think he simply reacted late.
I don't.
I think LaRoche got traded because they saw some improvement with Lowell and LaRoche was not gonna be content while being reduced to the role Kotchman has now.
Well we've got two darn good OFs an Youk tonight.
What's the worst that could happen?
This could even work in our favor with everyone trying to hit to Left.:lol::lol:
Injuries are not the FO's fault.
We had an established starting rotation at the beginning of the season plus Smoltz/Buch/Bowden as insurance.
Having 2/5 of a rotation injured will bring suck to any team.
If Bucholz sacks up just a bit and Smoltz stops pitching like a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates, this team will make the playoffs.
If those two don't step up, we're f***ed. In a big way.
