4 game series and we don't get to face Schmidt

[Rufio181]

Not a bad matchup. We need to take at least 3 game here.

4 game series and we don't get to face Schmidt

And that's a bad thing?

[HollywoodLeo]

And that's a bad thing?

Yeah, we always seem to tear him apart.

[Rufio181]

Yeah, we always seem to tear him apart.

I'll take the non-Schmidt matchup, even if we do good against him.

[padrefanforever]

I'll take the auto win vs. schmidt

[HollywoodLeo]

I'll take the non-Schmidt matchup, even if we do good against him.

we don't just do good against him, we tend to make him look like a AAA pitcher.

I don't understand how it happens, really, but it happens.

I think it's in Schmidt's best interest to not resign with the Gnats, and to move south to San Diego next year......... He would make a nice #2 and make for a great 1 2 3 rotation

That would be the best move, that way he never has to face the Padres.

(cue LTR in 3...2....1...)

[padrefanforever]

Yuppers my thinking exactly......

[Rufio181]

Here's the numbers:

Hennessey is 0-1 with a 3.94 ERA against us
Hensley is 1-0 with a 2.19 ERA against San Francisco

Morris is 6-2 with a 2.69 ERA against us
Young is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA against them

Lowry is 3-1 with a 3.58 ERA against us
CHP is 7-8 with a 5.08 ERA against them

Cain is 1-0 with a 2.61 ERA against us
Peavy is 8-4 with a 3.58 ERA against them

Do you think we can afford him? Methinks he will be a Met or Dodger next year.

[HollywoodLeo]

if anyone didn't see my post in the Random Thoughts thread (or the Rockies forum...) Vinny just signed a minor league deal with Colorado.

We can afford him, there's plenty of money coming off the books.

I don't know if they'll go top dollar or not, though. (and if they don't it won't be because they want to "pocket" the money, it'll be because they'd rather spread it around more with mid-tier FAs/extend contracts/throw more money at the Dominican Republic thing, etc etc)
