    I've got to imagine a deal would be based around one of Carlos Carrasco, JA Happ or Kyle Drabek. i think both happ and drabek will be going.

    We need a term for this, you know, like Fuku-walk, or Fuku-copter, or Arama-bomb. Anybody more creative than me got anything? Man, this game thread is boring. Milt-a-pass How about a Board-walk? uggggggh this is terrible.

    Zaun's better than Robinson. Even considering Robinson is free in terms of prospects, costs $1.1 million less, and the hole is basically only there for another 2 weeks or so? Isn't this another example of maybe throwing away a million here and a million there that Bruce's article talked about? it's $1.5M that's prorated down to like $600k this season. plus really, $2M for zaun next year (club option) would be reasonable for a solid backup switch hitting catcher, and he'd offer good insurance to soto's oblique and shoulder issues. the problem isn't spending $1M on a guy like gregg zaun who is pretty good at what he does, it's dropping $2.5M on aaron miles.

    ward was a good hitter but he is playing in charlotte for the white sox and, on account of bojangles, probably weighs three bills by now.

    we could really use a real LH bat off the bench though... hoffpauir has been brutal the last 2 months. that's a spare part that hendry should be looking for, a matt stairs type.
  6. TruffleShuffle
    i don't know if the league has figured him out or it's a slump, but hoffpauir has been horrendous the last couple of months.

    i liked steve albert's "gets the bat on it" call. nothing builds the excitement more than a phrase that could describe a dribbler to the pitcher or a 480 foot bomb.

    do something good fontenot, before koyie effs it up.

    you'd think people from southern OH/northern KY would be well-versed in the subject.

    i swear, reds catchers have to OPS about 2.500 against the cubs. david ross, javier valentin, this d-bag.
  11. TruffleShuffle
    come on, if harang and fontenot can put one over the fence you can too, fuku.

    why? I happen to think it was better. 20k games have been done 4 times by 3 pitchers, perfect games 18 times. Also the only hit in Woods game was a slow hit grounder just out of the reach of the SS. That bit of bad luck (where the ball was hit) was the only thing separating his game from a no hitter (or perfect game. I can't remember if he walked anyone) No walks, and it is pretty clear to me that Kerry's performance was far more dominant. It took a ridiculous play just to save the shutout yesterday, whereas hardly anyone could even put the ball in play vs Kerry. Having said that, pitching a no hitter and a perfect game in your career is damn impressive. Props to Mark, but I still think Kerry's game was better. plus the play by wise was not the only hard hit ball. burrell flied out to the track and there were a couple of line outs and hard ground balls that happened to go right at fielders. if you give up 22 batted balls in play and 0 go for hits, you've gotten extraordinarily lucky.

    boy can't believe they had their best hitter lay down a bunt.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    Is that possible? koyie hill sure thinks so.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    play worse, bradley.
  16. TruffleShuffle
    His numbers are awful this year. Is he bad or just another victim of the DB school of baseball? bum wrist.
  17. TruffleShuffle
    he's basically a second pitcher in the lineup.
  18. TruffleShuffle
    well the good news is that the reds are hacking at everything so wells should be able to haul his gas can deep into the ballgame.
  19. TruffleShuffle
    nice work wells.
  20. TruffleShuffle
    man the reds are swinging at everything.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    sometimes gameday sucks.

    .251/.348/.413/.761 from 2006-08 and similar numbers this season; his defense is pretty average. still, koyie has a career .545 OPS; trading for zaun shortly after soto went down would've been a good idea, assuming that baltimore isn't asking for a whole lot. it would be kind of hard for them to do so, since zaun is clearly wieters' caddy the rest of the way.
  23. TruffleShuffle
    Former Oregon State basketball coach? uh, i think he's referring to the first chief justice of the united states.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    getting zaun would've been a really good move when soto got hurt. even now it would be fine, he's a hell of a lot better than koyie hill, but i don't really see why you'd let koyie stink it up for 2-3 weeks and then trade for zaun when soto is going to be ready fairly soon.
  25. TruffleShuffle
    damn, and just when i was starting to get excited about the guy :x
