  1. i dunno, considering how long that particular "shtick" has been going on, i just dont see it going away...it's a NSBB tradition
  2. IIRC, and i was at the games we had 3 xtra inning games in the last week, our pen has been well exercised
  3. I agree. Zambrano wasn't overworked tonight. I think he was lifted at just the right time. and Z got his 3 hits to boot!
  4. 7 IP, 2 ER, 103 pitches....with the wind blowing out, its just about a perfect line....got what you wanted 7 IP and didnt strain for a moment....
  5. We have two long relievers and the bullpen is well rested. There was no reason why Zambrano should have gone over 100 pitches. Nonsense. Z's been going over 100 pitches his entire career regularly. It's never hurt him then, and it isn't likely to now. He's been abused his entire career, as well. When there's no reason to have Z throw over 100 pitches, why would you keep him out there? What can possibly be gained from it? what did he throw 103? come on!
  6. I believe there might have been more than one ball thrown back. pat and ron speculated 9
  7. Ronny callin Dunn a fat arse :lol:
  8. Z just wanted a chance to get 3 hits tonight...he's done
  9. Hopefully Piniella doesn't try to push Z beyond 7. i can get behind this, unless Z has nice quick innings
  10. i'm watching the Reds broadcast, according to their gun, Z hasnt topped 93 and just threw something 69 mph....this is wrong, no?
  11. you speak almost as if thats our problem :lol:
  12. the scoreboard feature direct tv has for mlbie is awsome
  13. i just remembered that this was the 3rd inning and it literally made me laugh out loud
  14. sup kiddies...nice half inning for Z
  15. Honestly, I don't know how much I agree with the idea that a player with a high K rate has a lower chance of getting on base than a player with a low K rate. When you think of guys who K at monstrous rates like Ryan Howard and Adam Dunn, then compare them to the Juan Pierres of the world, that sort of data tends to run counter to the idea that strikeouts hinder your ability to get on base more than some other factor. no, i was just saying that if a guy strikes out a certain number of times, then manages to halve that rate while keeping all other things the same, he'll get on base more. but, that requires that all other things are the same, and i don't know if that is necessarily the case. When you dramatically lower your K rate, all other other things are never going to stay the same. Corey wasn't/isn't K-ing as much because he's slapping more. Definatley haven't seen that. The thing I have noticed more now than his time with the Cubs is he has been getting ahead in the count a lot more. screams his .304 obp
  16. and to think that earlier this week i found myself wondering why i read this board less and less
  17. all good info, as far as parking goes, there is plenty of parking at the park at reasonable rates(i think it was $5 last year iirc)
  18. I can think of 5 within the past couple of weeks There are at least five threads started by Yeti that are better. :grin:
  19. agree, bury riot in the 7-9 spots and im cool with him...but leadoff? not so much, but seriously, i'd love to hear a viable plan to get a better hitting SS...i just dont see it happening w/o giving up the farm
  20. i sure wouldnt mind an upgrade, you got a plan to get someone with a better bat in at SS?
