  1. Pat and Ron says it was a great pitch, but both agreed it was a bit outside. Pat and Ron are wrong.
  2. I'm afraid we're going to lose this game.
  3. It was a double play. Jack Wilson went WAY off line. His footprints proved it. We got ROBBED.
  4. Doug Davis walked 9 hitters in 5 innings in his last outing. I hope someone on the coaching staff has relayed this information to the team.
  5. I'll go on record as saying when Willis or Cabrera DO get traded, it will be for a good package, but nothing as radical as many think. The fact is, no team is going to give up half their farm system for either of these guys. The Marlins aren't going to get a perfect scenario. They will either take some salary back or settle for a couple of good prospects. EPatt, Harvey and Guzman would get their attention for Cabrera. Harvey, Guzman and Hill would do the same for Willis. I bet the package that gets these guys will look awfully similar. For the record, I would do the deal for Cabrera. Willis has had his best season, imo.
  6. Gotta love the first pitch swinging by Pierre right after the Guzman AB.
  7. Nah, Murton is gonna torch this guy.
  8. 04/16 - 04/22 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS Murton 19 1 2 0 0 0 2 0 1 5 0.105 0.150 0.105 0.255 It's been one hell of a rough week for the kid. He's just trying to be aggressive. Sheesh.
  9. WGN just played Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!?!?!?!?!? What is happening here?
  10. He only stole 1 base last year in ST. No worries... He only played in 5 ST games last year.
  11. I'm sure this has been mentioned umpteen times on this board, but Bill James and his wild statistical formulas took all the factors into consideration and says that this was the single most dominating pitching performance in the history of baseball. Not that I doubt you but where did you read this? Also the Gaetti fan club loves NSBB! I'd heard it before, here's a link to an explanation: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/stats2.shtml There is also a widely published book on dominating pitching performances that mentions that game as being #1. It's also worth noting that the Astros offense was ON FIRE coming into that game. #1 in the league. Bell was hitting over .400, Biggio, Bagwell and Alou were in their prime and they were firing on all cylinders. Kerry made them look like little leaguers.
  12. Giles doubles, Restovich falls down, they score it a triple. 11-5.
  13. Wow! :shock: If he's up to 94 again... He's been at 91-92 since that first fastball.
  14. As of last year, the workaround still was effective. I got all of the blacked out games I wanted. There are many sites where you can find an IP.
  15. While steroids wouldn't have increased his vision, they may have increased his bat speed. That said, he may have been making evaluations on which pitches to hit a bit more quickly last year...This is certainly speculation. However, the declining numbers and talk about dropping weight purposefully certainly lead one down the path of thinking he may have stopped taking steroids. How about the idea that pitchers no longer feared his abilities as much, so they quit trying to get him out out of the zone.
  16. Give us Reyes and you can have Jacque Jones! hell, don't give us anyone and you can have jones. We'll give you a low level prospect, too!
  17. FYP
  18. I'm afraid in Hendry's eyes Jacque Jones makes Huff redundant. I don't think he's going to let Murton go at this point, so it looks like the Jacque Jones signing is already hurting us. He'd better put up an 8+ OPS.
  19. Well, at the end of last season, Murton was hitting in the six hole a lot, IIRC. That's why I put him ahead of Barrett. My lineup would be: Pierre Hairston Lee Ramirez Murton Barrett Cedeno Jones
  20. I hop everyone realizes that Hairston will most likely be on the soft end of a platoon with Neifi. The lineup will almost certainly be Pierre Neifi Lee Jones Ramirez Murton Barrett Cedeno
