Knee-jerk reactions (1982)

[Pat]

Had one of these last year.

Well, my team has underperformed, so I have had to make changes. Last week I called up LF Tony Rajanna, who is now hitting .324 with a .841 OPS in 34 ABs. This week, I am calling up AAA catcher Benedicto Valbuena. He has been hitting .350 this year, and hopefully adds a spark.

If my bullpen continues to struggle, I will be calling up some pitchers as well.

I think it's time for me to do something with Kelly Carpenter. He's sucking ass right now.

If you hadn't outbid me in the off-season, he'd be sucking my ass right now.

[Sully]

You can have him, if you want him. ;)

[Clay]

I have an ample supply of ass suckers thank you very much.

Diesel's still on your payroll?

No, just on my nuts.

So far this season, we're not a good team. I don't remember the last time we were under .500 this far into the season, I know the last 2 seasons we got off to really hot starts. There are many problems so far, but the most glaring is the horrible average my team is hitting for. Outside of Cirlos, everyone is hitting under .250. If that keeps up, we'll be out of this in a hurry.

Pitching has been decent, but inconsistent.

The only thing we've really got going for us is the fact that the entire division is struggling. Despite our issues, we're only 2 games out of 1st.

I'm already 5 games out.

Howard Haydon time?

Championship hangover? Fat and happy? Drunk off your own success?

Well that didn't work. Valbuena went 0-9.

That's way too small of a sample size. People go in worse slumps all the time.

I understand that. I will probably give him two or three more sims to pick up the pace.

If he doesn't, feel free to trade him to me....I'll take him off your hands.

The guy is a stud...

Just don't know if its his year or not.
