A's trade Miles to Reds for Tavares/Rosales

[treebird]

Game 163, tie-breaker between the Reds and Cubs for the 2010 NLCentral championship in Cincinnati. Cubs lead 4-3 in the bottom of the 9th. Runner on 1st and 2 out, Miles hits a walk-off pinch-hit home run to beat the Cubs 5-4. Count on it.

 

 

aaron miles hit zero home runs in 170 plate appearances last year. it is very unlikely he would manage to do so in such a big spot.

Which makes it all the more likely it happens. Just to spite us.

The end results show the error of judging players by their batting average. Too variable and doesn't measure skill as accurately as other metrics.

 

EDIT: I'm not being serious at all with this stuff.

 

Sorry, you said you were a Cardinals fan and I don't give their intelligence the benefit of the doubt.

I'm looking forward to Miles leading off in at least 80 games.

no way that happens. are you kidding? wow.

Seems impossible, which is exactly why it will happen. Typical Cubs luck. (No, I don't really think it will happen, but we are talking about the Cubs.)

Since that would be a three run homer, I guarantee that doesn't happen.

I don't see how Dustbags doesn't give him 250-350 ab's. He will be their primary backup 2B/3B unless I am forgetting someone on their roster. He will also likely be a leadoff candidate when he does play.

Runner on 1st and 2 out, not runner on 1st and 2nd.

Taveras will earn $4MM in 2010. The speedy 28-year-old was a bust for the Reds in '09, hitting .240/.275/.285 in 437 plate appearances.

 

Dusty is so bad. How in the world did that line get 437 plate appearances?

 

Speed doesn't slump, dude

That was a good response.
