Indy is spacious.  I wonder if Luplow has a first baseman's mitt?

Rodriguez joins the parade of 9 inning losers.



Two loses to the cardinals, both are walk off home runs.

And to the surprise of absolutely no one ... it's Wong.



I hate the Cardinals.

Meadows needs to be playing center field and Marte needs to sit he is not a #3 hitter. It looked like to me Polanco is swinging much better so for me Marte needs to sit. Bell needs to sit, and Osuna needs to be playing 1st base or 3rd when a lefty is pitching. SRod needs to be let go, and Crick needs to be given a chance at closing games. Those are some of the moves need to be made right now. I'd see if I couldn't get a decent player for Marte in trade, surely someone could be fooled into taking him.

You are out of your ever loving mind if you think Polanco should be starting over Marte.

Nope I'm not, he's hitting the ball good right now and Marte is just awful.  Marte and Polanco have about same number of ABs, Polanco has 8 HRs, 25 RBI's, 40 doubles, Marte 7, 23, 7 doubles.  Marte has a better avg and more triples but I believe in the long run Polanco still can be a good player and I think we've seen the best of Marte, he's just not very smart.  He has all the tools but he's never going to be any better.  Meadows  can and should be playing center field not Marte, he should bring a good return if NH was any kind of a GM.

Marte is hitting .296 with 7 HRs and playing a good CF. What is your problem with him?

He looks lost at the plate a lot, many of his hits are of the infield variety because of his great speed. I have no faith in him with runners on base and we have a better replacement in Meadows. His suspension last year was the last straw, and I think we could get a nice return for him nowl.

In 47 ABs Meadows with 5 HRs is tied with Dickerson and Moran for 5th on the team. 9 of his 19 hits have been for extra bases. Still has a line of .404/.431/.830/1.261. Was named MLB rookie of the month for May despite only playing half the month. There's only 1 person who doesn't think this guy should play everyday and his name is Clint Hurdle.
