    Definitely. Sucks for it to have happened the way it did.

    Johnson should be out of the closer spot after this game. Doesn't make sense to throw him back in there without starting in the 8th or 7th first, at least to salvage whatever confidence he may have left.

    Reddick could be done. I don't see how we can keep his bat in the lineup. That 30+ HR season ****ed him up.

    Reddick's defense is so damn good, it kills me. If this fool could hit .250 I would have no problem with him in the lineup.

    I think he will get sent to Sac when Gentry comes up.

    He's buns. We'll be okay because we have a good bullpen, but terrible signing by Billy.

    I would be good with either Gregerson or Doolittle for now

    I want to see Dino and Moss everyday. I am so sick of the platoon at first. Let Moss play every damn day.

    And I think Dino deserves a shot to play everyday. I don't like Jaso behind the plate.

    Jaso didn't pan out either. He wasn't bad until he got concussed in the middle of last season. I feel bad for the guy, he was really well liked in Seattle for a reason.

    I think it should be Gregerson, but who knows. They might give Johnson another shot at it.

    I don't fault Billy for going to get Johnson. Obviously it looks horrible now but he gave up Weeks who was done in our organization and it's on a one year deal. $10 mil is a lot but who cares, there is no salary cap. Balfour struggled towards the end of last year and he originally wanted a 3 year deal I believe.

    Billy made a move early in the offseason to address a need he felt we needed. Hopefully Johnson can get some confidence back pitching in the 7th and 8th, if not, we are deep enough in the bullpen to make up for it.

    Fuld needs to be in the lineup everyday. Time to ride the pine Reddick.

    Reddick could be hitting AAA and that would be okay. He needs to look for hits and getting on base instead of mashing everything.

    He has no confidence at the plate. Watching his at bats yesterday, he just looked like he knew he was going to K. It was :x
