8/12 PHI (Pedro) @ SUPER cObs (Shark) - 7:05 WGN, ESPN

[TruffleShuffle]

Remember when PECOTA was all like "Samardzija sucks and is worthless" and others were like "Nuh-uh, stats don't work on a player like this, he's a scouting project."

 

PECOTA was right.

 

BP and nate silver said that stats didn't work on a player like that.

[Sammys Boombox]

man i love pedro. i wish we would've signed him.

 

Don't let the Cubs offense confuse you.

it's not. it's just more of a "pedro is one of my all-time favorites and i have a huge man crush on him and we suck anyways so why not" kinda thing.

[Magdal]

2-0 Cards...edit: Pujols litterally knocked Homer out of the game. (ouch) Edited August 13, 2009 by Magdal

[Sammys Boombox]

Cardinals take 2-0 lead on error by the catcher. Pujols on 3rd. 0 outs.

Fox still looks kinda serviceable at 3B

False modesty? Lucky?

 

I dunno. Samardzija's still awful.

[TruffleShuffle]

are there any major league teams with lineups that can't hit a fastball? samardzija would probably do great against them.

i wouldn't give up on him as a reliever but he really doesn't look like starting material to me. his secondary stuff is nowhere near good enough.

[Sammys Boombox]

Well Homer is hurt before retiring a batter, so the Reds bullpen is going to have to get 27, er, I mean 24 outs tonight.
