Chris Dickerson wanted the job but is pitiful so far tonight. 2
strikeouts in his first two at bats. Leaving 2 on in the second. And
Drew Stubs has just replaced him Hmmm Dusty might be raising some
hell? At least Stubs makes contact.

I stand corrected . I just heard Marty say that Stubbs has fanned 24
times!

The problem there was Hannigan. Oswalt pitched around him to get to Arroyo.
BUT....he threw Hannigan a good clean fastball, belt high on the outer half
of the plate.
He took it and subsequently walked, bringing Arroyo up. Hannigan must be
aware of the situation, Nix at 3rd and the pitcher behind him.

Hit that pitch to the right side and get the stinking run home! Don't pass
it to the pitcher. That pitch was thrown in area where Hannigan should have
been begging for. Big mistake and it shows nowhere in the boxscore.

Arroyo and Dickerson 'K".........inning over. Runner dies at 3rd.

Contact and Drew Stubbs that's an oxymoron Chuck! I believe Dickerson
has a sprained hand and is headed back to Cincinnati according to
Houston announcers...

Other than being very fast and a CF, Stubbs has no business being
anywhere near the leadoff spot.

I'd like to see them drop him to 6 or 7 and then just leave him the
hell alone to see if he can hit for enough power to make it..

In addition to his contact problems, it's clear that leading off is
messing with his approach. I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere that
he's indicated he likes being lower in the order as well, so why mess
with the rookie's head?
