    Milton Bradley. that would be so disgustingly Cub-like. We could have signed him for no compensation in the offseason but we feigned confidence in Pie. Give him 4 starts, panic at struggles and give up a really good prospect to obtain that guy.

    whatever the opposite of steroids is test him for that
  3. sneakypower
    wow what a game that was

    right now i wouldn't have much issue with Lou playing either as the starter, Cedeno's numbers would probably have come down quite a bit if he had 2.5x the ABs and i'd imagine be fairly similar to Theriot's line right now. Cedeno's competition is performing well in all situations so there's a much less legitimate complaint to be made for his lack of playing time when compared to some other players who have been similarly slighted by Lou.

    my whole point is that its ridiculous to complain so much about a player who's been very good so far

    So... basically what the zone rating stats said. but you treated it like a certainty that Theriot is now and forever henceforth will be a bad fielder. Just can't let it go, or what? You say you can't trust a defensive metric that rates a guy really high one year and really low the next. Then you say that your subjective view basically corroborates that (only apparently you didn't realize that's what you were saying). no, there were plenty of other reasons to distrust RZR but that wasn't really the topic being discussed.

    this Cedeno in CF bandwagon has really got me nauseated. i do like him at SS but what on earth happened to suddenly make Cedeno a bat we absolutely must get into the lineup?

    isn't it a good sign that we're still outscoring our opponents even when we lose? it should indicate we're just not catching breaks.

    the khalils are 12-20 i piss my pants thinking about that matchup

    care to wager? this offer is open to the whole board. I'm not even close to taking it, but I am greatly disappointed with how this team has played in the last 2 weeks. EDIT: Especially considering our rotation, with Hill in flux and Marquis continuing to suck in short outings, a 2 week tailspin can mean worse things in the future chalk it up as a slump aramis isnt even around

    they should be one of the worst teams in the game, so i'm not too upset that they're overperforming and won't land an elite stud in the draft

    what memo? sorry, joe morgan sent out the verbal memo in the first inning. he actually said "obviously it's beneficial for every hitter to get on base but it's more valuable for top of the order hitters to get on base" or something to that effect.
  16. sneakypower
    what memo?
  17. sneakypower
    stupid soto he threw the ball there so early the tag almost whiffed before the runner slid in

    well if thats the way you meant it what a whiny and obnoxious thing to say we'll win the division by at least 5 games and the sniveling complainers such as yourself will bitch about every bad thing that happens on the way did you even read my post? Wow You have all the subtlety and reading comprehension of a Cro Magnon, hyuck hyuck yeah it's an incredibly moronic thing to say during the course of a baseball season "we're 3-7 in our last 10, if we keep at this pace we'll win 48 games!" if you're going to be ridiculous, why not just draw from a larger sample size and extrapolate our 18-12 record?

    well if thats the way you meant it what a whiny and obnoxious thing to say we'll win the division by at least 5 games and the sniveling complainers such as yourself will bitch about every bad thing that happens on the way We probably will. But what should be an 80% chance is becoming a 70% chance because of general stupidity, and if we happen to see this season fall into that last 10%, people like yourself will say it was inevitable or something. i stand by my statements

    ridiculous and wrong
  22. sneakypower
    you'll probably see Atkins and Stewart manning 3rd and 2nd or vice versa

    Lou has a pitching version of Felix Pie he's determined to screw up

    oh, i'm no saber-hater. a person can't say a negative word about anything saber-related without being filed under "saber-hater"? talk about myopia. and i'm sure that's true that most of the people here watch the games. but watch them and allow yourself some subjectivity. formulate opinions. So you honestly watch Theriot play ss and come away thinking he is a good fielder? I don't think he is terrible, but it's fairly obvious that he doesn't have much in the way of range or arm. And I am sorry, but I'm pretty tired of the whole "watch the game" argument. It's a pretty cheap shot and its usually incorrect. last year i saw him as very adequate in the field, making up for lack of arm strength with sound fundamentals and decent range to his left, but this year he's been disappointing- most notably the past week & a half or so. but he's also making boneheaded mistakes on the bases, while his hitting has been terrific. it's really been bizarro-Theriot thus far.
