    LaRussa gets what LaRussa wants. Rasmus pushed his boy Rick Ankiel out of a job and they've had problems ever since. And Mo is his bitch.

    Colby Rasmus, Trever Miller, Brian Tallet and P.J. Walters for Jackson, Marc Rzepczynski, Dotel and Corey Patterson [expletive] John Mozeliak and Tony LaRussa. I'm [expletive] livid.

    lol, true enough

    I call BS on that. Look, I live in St. Louis and don't find that remotely hard to believe. Between the blue hairs and the rednecks, there are so many "sheep" in Cardinal nation (yeah, just puked in my mouth a little there) that it's not remotely surprising that somebody would try to make that argument. Not to mention there's really just a lot of dumb people out there, and I'm not just talking about Cards fans. I was just calling BS because if the person is enough of a baseball fan to know who Starlin Castro is I can't imagine how they'd actually believe that. But on the other hand, a lot of baseball fans are stupid. There's Cardinal fans that think that Jon Jay has made Colby Rasmus expendable and that Rasmus for 2 months of Edwin Jackson and Matt Thornton is a good deal.

    BABIP is too subjective. How does it differentiate between a ball driven to the corner for a double vs a can of corn ? It doesn't. Here's my post from earlier.
  7. NonProfitCow
    The Pirates as a team have a 5.3 UZR and 1 DRS. Good, but not great. Karstens and Maholm are skating by purely on BABIP luck. Like I said earlier, if the defense is the same for all the pitchers, why is the BABIP so much different?
  8. NonProfitCow
    Luhnow's a numbers guy but is the MiLB director. I'm pretty sure Mozeliak is just LaRussa's bitch.
  9. NonProfitCow
    -19.8 UZR/150 -16 DRS Both are worst in MLB. Fangraphs has him at 0.1 WAR and B-Ref has him at -0.5.
  10. NonProfitCow
    It should be very surprising, remember, the defense.
  11. NonProfitCow
    Does the defense just give up for, let's say, Kevin Correia? His ERA and ERA+ are both lower than league average this year. He has the 2nd best K/BB on the team. He has the lowest LD% among Pirates starters. He has the best IFFB% on the team. His GB% and HR/FB% is better than Karstens. Yet somehow his BABIP is 50 points higher than Karstens. How do you explain McDonald's .313 BABIP and Morton's .318 BABIP? They have the same defense out there as Maholm and Karstens.
  12. NonProfitCow
    Why? They're not any good now, their farm system is in the bottom 3rd of baseball and their ownership doesn't spend money. Good for them that somehow Maholm and Karstens have insanely outpitched their peripherals, but it's not going to hold up. I just love myopic opinions like this. yeah that was a pretty bad post by the cow. Alright, let's just say that the Pirates have a whole lot more in common with the 2003 Royals than they do with with the recent Rays, Reds, Brewers, etc.

    He's got 240 innings spread over 5 seasons in the majors, as a middle reliever. There's no reason why somebody who follows baseball to know who he is. The vast majority of those innings have come in the past 3 years, and he's been very good. You probably wouldn't know who he is if you're a casual fan, but if you big enough into baseball to hang around message boards a lot you'd know who he is. Especially if you're a fan of an NL team. The Cards play the Nationals 2 series a year spread months apart. I guess I really don't pay enough attention to the Nationals middle relief.

    Make it 84. Somebody I've never heard of just got added. Tyler Clippard?
  16. NonProfitCow
    There have been 83 players named All Stars.
  17. NonProfitCow
    Unreal

    Wow Penalty shootout

    What makes it any different with a DH? With a DH, the DH hits for the pitcher. My mind is blown.

  22. NonProfitCow
    Expanding the DH is an interesting topic. I've read several places this season that more players than not HATE to DH and would rather play the field as well. That makes me cautiously optimistic that the damn thing will be gone within my lifetime. Players are idiots. There is no chance of the DH being gone in your lifetime. There is an infinitely higher chance that it's adopted by the NL.
  23. NonProfitCow
    THE FIX IS IN
  24. NonProfitCow
    That call was, well, generous.
  25. NonProfitCow
    That's a shooting foul?
