The local channel splits between Nats and Orioles games. It sucks.

That was not a good at-bat by Grady – lefties still give him fits at times, something he must continually work at. In that situation especially, you want him to pull the ball to move the runner to 3B.
Fortunately, we tacked on anyway thanks to Baltimore’s poor defense (4 Es so far is more than the 2 Rs or 3 H they have to this point).

No offense to Manning, what does he mean “Peralta will not remain in the cleanup spot when Martinez and Hafner come back?”
Both need time to get reacclimated to game action, and personally, I think Victor might be your best pure hitter, and would fit better in the #3 spot, where he did hit quite often over his Indians’ tenure. Plus, in my opinion, Peralta has more pure power than Victor – Victor can hit some HRs, but a combination of AVG and power is his main strength. While Peralta can hit for some average as well, Victor has the better pure hitting ability, which is why I’d like to see Victor hit 3rd and keep Peralta 4th.
As for Hafner, he doesn’t see the middle of the order until he proves he can hit more like he did between 2004-2006. Start him off in the 6 or 7 spot; if his performance warrants it, then move him up to the 5-spot, maybe the 4-spot if he really excels AND Peralta really falters.
Peralta has really acclimated to the cleanup spot, with less protection than he would get if Martinez and Hafner return to their productive selves and were batting 3 and 5 respectively. Therefore, I don’t see why Peralta has to move out of that cleanup spot just because those two return. If circumstances warrant it, fine, but their return alone should not just necessitate Peralta moving out of the cleanup spot.
Manning didn’t even seem that convinced that Peralta could handle the 5-spot – he has been watching Peralta lately, hasn’t he? Peralta hasn’t just been hot for a few games or even a week; it’s been more like 4-6 weeks, pretty much ever since Victor went out with his injury. Why mess with a good thing by moving Peralta out of the cleanup spot – that makes no sense to me.
Just my 2 cents – no offense.

Yeah we don’t have much of a chance. Although it’d be a totally different story if Scott Richmond was still on our roster! haha I’m assuming you guys heard about that story with Ricciardi?
by supermarioelia on Aug 12, 2008 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Richmond is a AAA pitcher with the Jays, and was slated to be our ace at the Olympics, and Ricciardi called him up a couple of weeks ago, which made him ineligible for the Olympics of course. This really bristled pretty much the entire country, not because the move was made since obviously JP’s job is to make the Jays better, but because he described the Olympics as being pretty much meaningless in comparison to the chance of getting to the majors. Even some of the Canadian players made comments to the effect that his attitude in interviews made them quite upset. Bottom line, for a guy who Jays fans cannot stand, you’d think he’d be more diplomatic about things.
