    yeah you're going to want to avoid doing stuff like this in the game thread
  2. ltb
    yeah great totally saw that coming sigh.
  3. ltb
    hmmmm i might have to try to catch one of these
  4. ltb
    that sure was nice of the best fans in baseball :roll: just because our guy is better, they have to boo him? pathetic
  5. ltb
    oh man that is awesome

    Hopefully, firing dusty. Could be... I just have a feeling he will.. i wish

    you missed the saves last week. selective memory is lame.

    But what exactly do you see in his performance that makes you think he'll hit his career average from here on out? He's 2-3 tonight and hasn't cooled off since the beginning of the season. At some point you have to say that this isn't a total fluke and that he's not going to just got back to his career average. yep, this pretty much covered what i was going to say. i highly doubt lee will regress to his career average before the end of this year. Just for clarification, I'm saying that Lee might bat at his career average in the second half...not that his current will average will drop to his career average during the second half. Now THAT I agree would be highly, highly unlikely. right - i understood :) i just don't think he'll hit even close to .275 from here on out. of course i expect regression, but nothing that extreme.

    No way Dusty benches Hollandsworth for another lefty-hitting outfielder. I think you are wrong. Check back w/ me in six weeks. Gerut has much more talent than Holla does. dusty doesn't care about talent. just the "years experience" on the back of your baseball card.

    would that be second to cordero? dempster's 13/14 in save opportunities, with 13 straight, so i could certainly see it.

    hay aramis is pretty good

    Neifi is not a proven ML 3rd baseman, he is a SS. The move your suggesting makes no sense. i'm sure neifi could play an adequate defensive 3B if necessary. he looked fine when he filled in the one time this year. macias is useless when you have someone else who can play third.

    I wonder if 1 more trip through the rotation with long outings would be enough to convince people that 7 relievers is a waste. Remlinger has 4 IP in 4 outings in July. About 4 guys have had just 1 inning of work since the break. This is seriously not good for the bullpen. Cubs==Terminally Dumb. Meanwhile, Ben Grieve is a quality PH option on the bench who we jettison, AND we keep Jose Macias as one alternative. Dumb dumb dumb. Does Grieve have lice or something?? lice, ability to take pitches, same thing to dusty.

    expected. thanks for the post.

    PECOTA almost always projects low AB totals, though. nomar was projected for 468 ABs. quite a bit of time missed, but not exactly a huge amount, either.

    very few things annoy me more than people who call prior injury prone. ugh.

    I agree that it's sad that Lee isn't getting more appreciation for the amazing season he's having, but don't forget that Pujols is contending for the triple crown too. BA: 1) Lee .373 2) Pujols .339 HR: 1) Lee 30 4) Pujols 24 RBI: 2) Lee 75 3) Pujols 73 well, i wouldn't say pujols is contending for the triple crown. 34 points of batting average is a lot to make up - i know the actual stats have been posted a few times, but i think lee would have to go into something like an 0 for 45 slump while pujols continued hitting at his current average to catch up to him. i will not argue that pujols will challenge lee for the home run lead (and both lees for the rbi total), but i think average is pretty much out of reach. i could certainly be wrong, but i don't think pujols has more than a tiny chance at the batting title. If Pujols ends up with 2 of the 3 categories, does that give him an edge in the MVP? What is an MVP? Does it go to the best player on the best team? Does it go to the player that throws a team on his back and keeps them in a race? Should Barry Bonds win it this year because he's shown how valuable he is through his absence? I really don't care, because the only hardware I'm interested in is the World Series trophey... if he ends up with 2 of the 3, i would not be surprised to see the mvp given to him.

    Can anybody clear this up: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/transactions/trans.html It's recent as it says July 18, I knew Montanez promoted to AA, but when was Montanez was promoted to AAA? Or is this a misprint on BA? pretty sure that's a misprint.

    wow, this is cool. nice work!

    wasn't planning on it - i just needed his post from that thread to make my point, and it's obvious that this thread was made because of last night's trade. either way, i'm done with this thread.
