Make that 1-0 on a ball Bruntlett should have had

Dbacks take the lead on a single up the middle off of Bruntlett’s glove. Looked like he had no shot and then looked like he pulled up on it.

I couldn’t see the whole field, but it looked like Coste was worried that Eaton wouldn’t cover the plate there if he through it to 2nd.

Yeah, but if he thought he had a play (and nobody but the people at the stadium know) I think he has to try to make it and not worry about the guy coming down the line.

My understanding was that the border states are less anti-immigrant than other places just because you don’t have the same fear of the unknown, and that the really crazy stuff comes from the interior where nobody had ever seen a Mexican before. But I could be wrong.

Been here for about a year and a half and the anti-immigrant sentiment is MUCH stronger than southern Indiana. Just my limited perspective, though.

Just got back. Not sure why Charlie let Eaton end the inning there and THEN pinch hit for him. Especially since Eaton is a better hitter than So.

I think they should set him up in a dunk tank of some kind, for fans like us to work out Eaton-related issues. At least that won’t hurt the team’s chances, and he’ll be doing something for that mammoth paycheck.

There is no good way to look cool when a ball is hit back at you as a pitcher. Glad you didn’t even try.

there’s so much wrong going on with his swing and demeanor, it’s difficult to begin. We’ve seen these ABs all season—taking the pitches down the pipe, looking like a plastic toy Transformer swinging at a breaking pitch away, then getting called on a borderline pitch. At this point, I think we have to wait for Rollins to come back and drive him.

Nice job by the bullpen there. They should get some kind of credit just for “not allowing any more runs to score after Adam Eaton pitches.”

Well, I am ready to say that Eaton is still Eaton…
Flashes of mediocrity were nice, but he has pretty much proven that he hasn’t worked out the problems from last season.

I don’t know you can say that so quickly. this was one start. I’m still looking forward to another 5IP 4ER performance. dont give up on him yet
by char6587 on May 7, 2008 12:18 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
unfortunately 5IP and 4ER per game will actually end up giving him an ERA of 7.2
That is worse than last year. I am not looking forward to 5IP 4ER performances because I am not looking forward to Adam Eaton being WORSE than last year—if that’s even possible.
