I felt we should Showenweiss some "dap" for putting together a pretty nice season so far.TWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619620902215995000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094682562158691055.post-17348852934173403052008-05-29T07:51:00.000-04:002008-05-29T07:51:00.000-04:00While I have been driving the Heilman-Hate bandwag...While I have been driving the Heilman-Hate bandwagon since mid August of last year, I was previously known to defend him so a little credit there. He's still got another 11 straight scoreless to go before I pull the HH Wagon over to the side of the road.<BR/><BR/>I think lost in the shuffle was a Willie non-move, when Lidstrom came in the radio announcers had commented that they were surprised that Willie wouldn't pinch hit a lefty for Easley or Tatis. Considering that the two lefties were Chavez and Delgado I thiought at the time that Easley and Tatis had been swinging the bat well and deserved their shot. I wonder if Willie was avoiding using Delgado just to make a point or was saving him for later. All in all the lack of a move then worked for later as Chavez led off the ninth with the tying homer and Tatis won the game later on. I hope Willie keeps on sitting Delgado against lefties and I hope he plays Tatis until he runs dry. Since Tatis is a former third basemen, how hard would it be to stick him at first? Not sure we'd be losing anything defensively, Tatis is a better athlete than Delgado and Evans will be the next guy sent down. I think with Anderson's hamstring tear, Tatis will be staying up for a while and while he's hitting we should take advantage of it.<BR/><BR/>Wow, two in a row, good things to say about Willie and Heilman in the same post, Jack and i agreeing...this must be a dream.TWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619620902215995000noreply@blogger.com
