    Nice to see him walk again. I'd been starting to worry that he was completely abandoning his newfound patience.
  2. Rob
    I heart Josh Vitters.
  3. Rob
    He's 28, and this is his 4th year in AAA. He was about average for a 1B in the hitter friendly PCL last year, but was no good the two years before that. In short, he's too old to be taken seriously as a prospect, and we're probably seeing his peak season right now. Does that mean I'm against keeping him on the roster and giving DLee a few rests? No. But Hoffpauir isn't our 1B of the future, isn't the 1B of now, and has very little trade value due to his age. It's nothing against the guy... but he's probably not anything more than a backup.

    Jay Jackson day!
  5. Rob
    This is stupid.
  6. Rob
    Well that explains why DeRosa made an out. If the Marlins rally, I can boil some more... though I'm afraid I'm too full to eat any more.
  7. Rob
    That inning began with me boiling some water to cook some tortellini... it ended after I got finished eating. Kinda rare that you can prepare and eat a whole meal in a half inning.

    Fukudome cant catch a break today.
  9. Rob
    We have DeRosa today.
  10. Rob
    Extras.
  11. Rob
    Mark Sweeney and his .386 OPS are given a free pass to 1st.
  12. Rob
    Russell Martin singles on a ball deflected by the 3rd baseman.
  13. Rob
    Damn...
  14. Rob
    I have the Extra Innings package.
  15. Rob
    Manny ties it up.
  16. Rob
    JJ Hardy just muffed that! 1st and 3rd, no out.
  17. Rob
    I can't believe Kapler just caught that.
  18. Rob
    I thought Tyson Gay was supposed to be racing tonight?
  19. Rob
    Wow, that's way too harsh a response, I think. You know what's a ridiculous joke? The fact that we can talk about Placido Polanco and Willie Harris outslugging Derrek Lee in such a long time period. What is this stuff about "even close to the same league" as Derrek Lee? Since May he's basically been a .750 OPS hitter. There's nobody out there who has a chance at reaching this lofty benchmark? You've gone out too far on a limb and I don't think you've really bothered to look at what Derrek Lee has become. I don't think the idea that Hoffpauir can do better than a .750 OPS playing against righties is any sort of madness whatsoever. "what Derrek Lee has become"? Since when is this his ceiling? He's had a bad stretch. He's still better than any of our other options, including Micah Hoffpauir. Give him as many AB's as he needs to get back on track. It's not like we're in any imminent danger of missing the playoffs.

    I think we broke Brandon Backe... he gave up another 11 ER tonight.
  21. Rob
    BA will have him higher than any other ranking, don't know if he can sneak into the top 10 though. He's put together a fantastic second half. Samardzija will be top 10 if he doesn't exhaust his eligibility. Vitters Cashner Ceda those guys are top definitely in the top 10... then we're left with some questionable guys (in no particular order) Jackson Castillo Colvin Rundle Veal Thomas Flaherty Carpenter Schafer Maestri Rhee Suarez Huseby Most of those guys have spent a good deal of this season either ineffective or injured... or simply don't have the track record to support what they've done to this point (Jackson). I could see Guyer slipping into the upper half of that group.
  22. Rob
    Brandon Guyer homered for Peoria, keeping his strong season going. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a top 10 prospect for us going into next season.
  23. Rob
    Great move. It's not like Ross murders lefties at a .278/.336/.556 clip this season (.292/.357/.608 career). I'd have much rather we just attack Ramirez.
  24. Rob
    Hank White!!!
  25. Rob
    In March, I would have been disgusted with that lineup. Context is everything, I suppose.
