as far as i know(which is proving to be less and less every waking second ), baseball is a game of rhythm, skill, confidence and a bit of good luck.

rhythm and seeing the ball well are essential to batting right??

2 guys who combined to go 8-10, 3 homeruns and 7 rbi's EACH, are not playing today. simply fuccchhhhiiinnn amazing! this game is changing right before our eyes!

the days of playing 162 are gone my friends! i see a stud, healthy and fortunate player playing 145, this game is starting to suck!

for the record, i do not have ruiz or beltran anywhere

Day game after a night game. One is a catcher and one has a history of injury's. These are planned days off that are an effort to get each of them to 140+ games.

do you think johnny bench would have taken the day off??

thats right, and it hits even more home now, they arent players anymore, their investments! my point exactly, hardball is dying if not already DEAD!

Managers seem to be on auto-pilot.
Automatically resting a catcher day after night.
It used to be the importance of a series overrode a player 'getting rest'.
Now 'rest' is prevalent.
Things have changed...

Here is Scott Rolen's 'work' week so far....
Monday- Off day
Tuesday- rain out
Wednesday- play
Thursday- rest

Willie Mays:
Mr. Leo, why aren't I in the lineup today?

Leo Durocher:
I'm gonna give you a blow today, Kid.

Willie Mays:
I don't need a rest Mr. Leo!
I play baseball, I don't work baseball!

Leo Durocher:
You're hitting third....
