hahahaha with your track record on promises, you'll be back in 25 minutes. Very funny. Sorry if I forgot to laugh. i laughed. I didn't say I was leaving NSBB. I said I am done watching this team until we are back in it (if ever). Why do you all find it funny to keep joking about something like it's so god damn funny? I was sick, getting nautious every day, and I was irritated. Now in my worst day in recent memory, my aunt gets diagnosed with cancer, and you all laugh. SCREW YOU ALL you heartless bastards!! i find it funny to joke about things which i find funny. i don't find your aunt having cancer funny, nor do i find you being sick funny. i don't know why you chose to bring those two things into the conversation. good luck to your aunt

Indeed. That's basically why baseball is the only major sport that has that "intermediate" level i.e. the minor leagues. even though hockey has fallen by the wayside, they have the CHL/ECHL (AA), and the AHL (AAA). Though player development is tons different in hockey.

Nucks advance. on a related note, the Las Vegas Wranglers (local ECHL team) lost their 18 game win streak with a loss in game 2 of the second round today. The 18 wins ties a professional record.

The defense wasn't that good. Pie made a couple above average plays (one that Soriano and Jones certainly would have made, one I'm not so sure about). They also had two defensive problems in the 4th-a bobble that led to an error and then another bobble that led to an inability to get an easy double play. The net effect of Marquis's defense was about zero-and those are about the only plays he needed them, because most of the contact was pop ups and soft ground balls. I do agree with you that if he gives up baserunners like this, he will not pitch many shutouts-he still might pitch well, but a team will break through once or twice with runners on. I just wanted to address this comment, as the defense was not helping Marquis out all day. Hm, well I didn't see the game so I was going off of what was said, so I guess I was sticking with what I had read about Pie's day too much.
-
well, you said an improved defense was the difference between disaster and respectability, so I was just going by what you posted. That's true. That also doesn't really pertain to Marquis. Frequently giving up baserunners and then stranding them is no way to pitch well consistently. He'll have some days like today that make him look good, and other days where he'll get pounded because he gives up contact most of the time. I really don't think his game plan is to put runners on and then leave them there. Which is the point I'm arguing, so if you mean something else with this then it doesn't apply. From the sounds of things, it was more than just routine defensive plays. That's besides the point, though. He's not going to give up 2-3 base runners per inning and get out of it consistently, like he did today in the first few innings.
-
if Z's walk totals this year would have come with a current marquis-ish ERA, then it would be luck. Z's succeeding and failing when he puts runners on. Marquis, at least today, is only succeeding. And that's not going to happen ofen. well, that's kind of the point I'm making. If defense is the only thing between disaster and success, then Marquis is lucky.
-
There is a difference though. The guy that does it with the K is going to be able to do it far more consistently. If Z is frequently getting out of 2 on or bases loaded jams by relying on great defense, then yes, he would be conisidered lucky. When Z is on, he's usually not in those kinds of jams though, so that doesn't really matter. I'm happy with the way Marquis is pitching, but he has zero chance of doing what he did today consistently, especially when he faces an offense better than the one the Cardinals boast.
