Tasch is the kind of guy you march out there when your down or leading by ten runs.

Translation: You don’t want the bat boy coming in with with runners on base or in a key situation in the seventh inning or later.

Why is he up here then? Bring up Zagurski or someone that CAN get lefites out at a better clip than .300.

Hell, I can pitch the mop-up innings when were down 5. If that is Taschner’s “specialty” then run him on out of here.

As an aspiring world series team is it acceptable to have someone like that on the roster? I say no

Taschner is garbage, and last night’s loss stung. BUT at least the pen got some a day off. I mean, Taschner doesn’t really pitch in innings where they need him to hold down the fort, but at least he got 2 innings, even though he stinks.

I’m still puzzled why they even traded for Taschner. Majewski was throwing good enough in spring training to be kept with the big league club instead. I understand that they probably wanted another lefty in the pen, but if he’s not getting out lefty’s what’s the point.

The explanation of the anger is simple, the guy is not doing his job. Trashner’s purpose last game was to keep the game close so the offence could try and tie things up or even get a lead. In that respect he failed spectacularly. You can blame Charlie for leaving him in the game more than one inning (heck, I blame him from brining him in the game period) but the player still failed… again. Even looking at Amanda’s stats when he only starts one inning that means that he is still giving up runs about 1/3 of the time.

If you are being brought into a game then you need to do your job. If you can’t then its time for a replacement.

Little Guy – and according to mlbtraderumors.com it looks like Webb has had a setback and might not play at all this year….if its true then Haren’s definitely not going anywhere esp. if the D-Backs are bringin’ up prospects…they’ll need him to anchor the rotation. When it comes to purchasing or trading for pitching, I tend to lower my expectations as I think pitchers have some the highest failure rates among pro team sports and are to risky to sell the farm on…my plan is to kidnap Josh Johnson from the Fish..

if he’s a free agent then sure…not a lot of miles on his arm…What do you think about Ben Sheets, (i don’t worry too much about tommy john surgeries, they seem to have a high success rate) or do the Rangers have him locked up? Haven’t had much time to look him over, If you know, what’s the skinny on him?

The little guy the Phillies aren’t the Diamondbacks. Diamonbacks owe major league baseball millions , they had to borrow to pay johnson and schilling, when they won, they can’t afford the kind of money the phillies can. We wouldn’t have a fire sale of the starters you mention, because we can afford them and more with our market. The diamondbacks can’t generate the revenue. If we came at them hard for haren with a lot of players they would listen, but also one other thing if we were fifteen games outs, who would care if werth went anyway. or a madson for a couple of good prospects but Hamels Howard and Utely are untouchable.
