    Booyakasha!

    well there is a bright spot - Big Z finally had a Z like start. Nah, he's still not hitting like last year.
  4. Rob
    Alright fellas, who else is about to reach into the fridge and start downing cold ones?
  5. Rob
    Good eyes!

    Neifi just saved us, dude!
  7. Rob
    He's handled it about as well as he possibly can. Not so much anger from him, as dejection and resignation. He sounds like all of the life has been sucked out of him. :cry: I can't listen to Cubs games on the radio anymore when we're doing badly, cause Ron's reactions make me feel like jumping off a cliff.

    Royals pitcher Joe Mays

    Hey, don't wish that on Neifi. This is his once chance to look like a truly dominant player in comparison to somebody, at least let him have that.

    Is anybody listening to the game? I just want to make sure Santo doesn't sound on the verge of a heart attack.
  11. Rob
    Ah, it was all part of Freddie's master plan to get Chan Ho Park out of the game... now it makes sense.
  12. Rob
    I know quadriplegics that could catch that.

    This might come down to whomever runs out of pitchers first. Good thing we have seven men in the bullpen. And Dusty has no problem leaving guys in til their arms end up in the catcher's mitt.
  15. Rob
    Nah, cause then Dusty would have pulled a double switch for no apparent reason and they would've had to face cedeno instead of mabry.
  16. Rob
    Actually, I wasn't sure it'd get past the pitcher.
  17. Rob
    On the plus side of things, we successfully doubled the amount of hits we've had in this game, and increased our walks by 200%

    if they score here he would ... Wouldn't whoever pitches the 8th get the win? Nope, but they could get a hold, save, blown save, or loss... but technically the only way for them to get the win in a game where they came in with a lead would be to blow the save first and then still be in when we score another run. Edit: Now that they've actually entered in a tie game, they could get the win.

    So Park finally broke the 100 pitch plateau there... We draw a card against one of the pitchers with the worst control in the league, and it takes us 8 innings to get him to 100 pitches.
  20. Rob
    I know, I almost messed myself I was laughing so hard...
  21. Rob
    You know, if only we could get 4 outs an inning, we could sac people in every time...

    Dear lord, Aram elevated...

    I think I finally figured out Dusty's lineup for tonight. He realized his bench has been waaaay too weak so far this season, so he stuck Murton and Cedeno there to help his bench look better. I mean, really, it makes perfect sense.... if you're as crazy as Dusty is.

    I don't know if this is specifically directed at me, but I'm egocentric so I'm going to respond as if it is. Yeah, I know Carp was a higly touted pitcher. That's why I was referencing the fact he didn't really have an injury-free level of performance established. His one year prior to '05 where he pitched over 200 innings, he amassed a WARP1 of 5.6. That's exactly why I said I'd make allowances for people with injury problems being healthy for once. I suppose in Carp's case, regression to the mean would be mostly PT based. Arroyo was never really a great prospect. Looking at my old copies of BP, he's referred to as "a poor man's Jimmy Anderson: great record, good ERA, lousy peripherals and mediocre stuff" and "basically a right-hander with a marginal left-hander’s repertoire" The best thing about his pitches is that he manages to throw most of them for strikes, but he's got nothing really special. I don't think he's just "found his stride." His absolute ceiling is an innings-eater type of #3 starter, not the top of the league ace that he's impersonating now. Looking at Phillips' record, perhaps I jumped the gun on him a bit. He could post a .800 OPS if a few balls fall in for him... but I don't think he'll keep up the .996 OPS with runners in scoring position.

    to play devil's advocate...didn't we all say that about chris carpenter in '04 and '05? Carp didn't exactly have an established level of performance... at least not while healthy. 05 is the first year I can think of where he spent the entire year healthy and pain-free. I can understand making allowances for injury in regression, but there are plenty of cases where the higher level of performance has nothing to do with lack of an injury, and it's natural to be more skeptical about those performances.
