I agree. But that's maybe why nobody is asking about Hellmers starting - Money did fine, battled, gave us a chance to win. The question is why he didn't run Hellmers out there after Morgan's HR. And, he seems to be keeping people from questioning that by saying Fowler pitched fine but the error hurt. Yet, he's also very clear that he wants to find other guys to travel with, even naming guys that we haven't seen at all yet and a guy that he never remembers his name.

Why didnt helmers start Sunday?


Because Money started which leads to a follow up, why didn’t Hellmers pitch at all this weekend.

Two months ago Thompson was on the bench.

You can add “the who came in for Hill who PM has been calling ‘the lefty’ ever since”

If PM didn't explain that, shame on him. If the media didn't ask that question directly enough that he was required to answer it, shame on the media.

I feel the same way about pinch hitting Doughty. How is no one pressing PM on this?

2.) He says that Gio sat for precautionary reasons, with the lingering hamstring issues.
Weird that he couldn’t think of this lie fast enough yesterday.

"Let's just say Gio was tired, ok?"

I guess he was just frustrated with the having to defend his decision to sit him. Or, is he just lying now? Naptime seems to have alluded to it not being injury related...again. I'm confused.

Because none of them want to look like a bad guy asking why Doughty should get that chance.


It's dumb. But I can guarantee that's their reasoning.

Have these two played yet this year? I’ve watched damn near every game and I’ve never even heard of these two kids

They have not. Apparently they've been out with injury.

Since we don't have local beat reporters that follow the team as closely as the fans do, no one has ever asked about their availability.

They were both highly thought of recruits. They both have a real chance of contributing.

Curfew violation perhaps? Gio, Travinski, Hellmers, others?
I can’t believe PM wasn’t disciplining guys. That’s the only thing that makes sense.

Murray played travel ball with Money. He's dirty.

Either say he is being benched for disciplinary reasons or lie and say his leg got tight don't do this mealy-mouth bullshite.

PM said on Sunday, "Let's just say Gio was tired." And he said it very off putting.

Many of us assumed it was a disciplinary issue, and Naptime seemed to confirm that.

He said very clearly today that he sat Gio because he played 2 games in a row and he's still working through the lingering hamstring issue.

It's just bizarre.

Well i guess he at least explained gio and travinski sitting.
Makes zero sense why hellmers didnt pitch, and why braden doughty came in for milazzo. It would be nice if the media that follows this team cared half as much as fans.

Oh, i guess project already alluded to that last part
