    terrible first inning for peoria - kirk gave up 2 home runs, a single and a walk and the defense behind him made 3 throwing errors. rusin has allowed 3 runs (2 earned) and 5 hits in 3 innings, but has just 1 bb against 5 K's. will probably be a tough task for the offense against matt moore.
  2. TruffleShuffle
    he's thrown so many innings because he is an effective pitcher who (usually) (knock on wood) stays healthy, not because he squeezes an extra out or two.

    that cuban guy is starting out pretty well at peoria. i guess if there's any positive about simpson's start it is that he has been singled to death - only 1 triple and then 7 singles. so it's not like he's giving up home runs and rockets into the gaps.

    replace grabow with samardzija and i'm on board.
  5. TruffleShuffle
    I'm pretty sure there was a game where he PH reed Johnson against a RH closer with fukudome and Dewitt on the bench. That was pretty damn dumb.

    Contemplating retirement? It's a broken thumb and you're 33 years old, relax dude.

    my reaction when i read this was "were they playing minnesota or golden state"
  8. TruffleShuffle
    if he's suspended by kelly it's only because he didn't hit someone while driving drunk. kelly's lust for blood is well known.

    First to say it but you aren't the first to elude to it if you look at the OP i think the proper word alluded you.
  10. TruffleShuffle
    i assume you want a guy who can run a 4.3 40 (wr/cb) or bench press a house (ol)?
  11. TruffleShuffle
    i think maybe his stuff plays better in the bullpen? plus he has a bulldog mentality or some [expletive] like that.

    mickelson is actually a very good putter, he's just missed some pretty short putts at bad times. the bigger problem is that he sprays his driver around at a frequency that should be alarming to galleries everywhere.

    it's the astros, they're terrible and don't have a legitimate #1 starter. no game against them is "essentially a forfeit."
  14. TruffleShuffle
    That's ok. JeffH said we have no chance to win either game because of pitching matchups so we won't need Marmol anyway. JeffH says a lot of things. once in a while they're not wrong.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    yeah the guy said a lot of good things in the preseason but he's been a complete dunce once game play started.
  16. TruffleShuffle
    great work quade.
  17. TruffleShuffle
    who is he and why can we not get him out?
  18. TruffleShuffle
    one note that i find interesting (and probably nobody else does) - the 1B for clearwater (daytona's opponent) is joe savery, who was a first round draft pick as a pitcher by the phillies and ended up being a bust. he's trying to make the rare transition from pitcher to position player. so far so good, as he's hitting .800 this year.

    cerda is one of our few prospects who has a really good eye. if burgess developed some plate discipline and was less fat he'd be a really interesting prospect. i guess it depends on whether he can play a decent corner OF without giving back too many runs.
  20. TruffleShuffle
    if barney could start walking he'd actually be a passable starter. though the walks would probably evaporate once pitchers realize he can't do much more than hit singles.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    He hit two balls hard that happened to be right at guys. You can't ask for much more. apparently quade knew that was going to happen.
  22. TruffleShuffle
    bad luck.
  23. TruffleShuffle
    that is pretty much the same rationalization they used to sign soriano to a bad contract. i'd like to see them overpay for an albert pujols, not for a prince fielder.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    i don't know who graham hicks is, but he's walked 6 and given up 3 hits in 4 innings, and has managed to give up only 1 earned run. he also has no strikeouts. some guy named rosscup started for daytona and had 5 ip, 5 h, 2 r, 1 bb, 5 k.
