    He's saving it for late September and October. I'm just happy that he seems to have some weird plate discipline come back to him from 2006
  2. BigSlick
    Wouldn't that be poetic? Our worst pitcher (although he's really not that bad, but clearly the worst) pitches a no hitter for us in the middle of this magical season?
  3. BigSlick
    Lee running had nothing to do with Ramirez striking out. What are you talking about? This may be true, but was the Theriot K on a hit and run? I didn't see what that was all about. Regardless I'm not a fan of running with our roster very much.
  4. BigSlick
    ATTN: Lou, please stop it with this creative baserunning crap. It got two of our better hitters who rarely strike out to strike out and its just stupid and playing craps with a pitcher we should clobber regardless. Don't do it. Don't do it in the playoffs. Stop it.
  5. BigSlick
    Get some more runs
  6. BigSlick
    Except there are plenty of players that hit both righties and lefties well, and some players (Cedeno) that have reverse splits? Also most teams don't have the roster space to field enough players to do it. Its great in certain situations with exaggerated splits like Johnson and Edmonds, but the rest of our players mash lefties and righties equally. (Or at least our offense as a whole has anyway, this isn't the 2007 Cubs who flailed uselessly against lefties most of the year)

    I guess we can't ever get a sizable lead because the Brewers will continue to win God I hate them

    What do you mean "once fielder is gone", Prince is very young and you guys would be wise to hold on to him. If you lose Sabathia, Sheets and Fielder, you wont be the force to be reckoned with for the next few years that I thought you'd be
  9. BigSlick
    Hahahah I sort of have the same problem, except I'm working tonight

    That's how I feel about the playoffs, too. But, then again, the other team's fans should be twice as worried about running into our high-powered offense, dominant starting pitching, and shut-down setup man/closer. Thinking about it from the D-backs perspective, they really should be afraid of us. Their offense is still in flux, even with the acquisition of Dunn, and they don't have that many dependable hitters. The pitching, well, we all know the story on that, but we've been able to get to them a little this year...usually at home. #-o Of course none of our pitchers can figure out that you should never throw a strike to Chris Young. I feel like I'm watching other teams playing against Soriano, STOP THROWING THE GUY STRIKES

    It's not as fun to check BP playoffs report every day like it was last year. We'd have crazy swings of like 7-10% every day depending on what happened.
  12. BigSlick
    Parra/Billingsly Bush/Lowe Suppan/Kershaw Nice. Those are pretty favorable matchups for the Dodgers. Dodgers have a tough lineup too Ethier Kemp Kent Manny Loney Martin Nomah Casey Blake Juan Pierre off the bench. This will be nice test for the Brewers after everyone saying how unbeatable they are after going 8-2 against 3 of the worst teams in history. What's really great is: A. They're facing a team with more than one major league starting pitcher B. They're facing a lineup that'll be able to hit that crap the Brewers call a bullpen (one can rave all they wish about these unbeatable Brewers but, when you've got Solomon Torres as your closer you're going to have problems) C. The Dodgers miss Sabathia and Sheets D. Its at Dodger Stadium
  13. BigSlick
    Yeah honestly, do Lou and Hendry watch the games, or just oggle at his low walk total? He doesn't make a single bat miss. Every out he does get is usually a liner that is barely caught. The guy is just being slapped around and his OPS against is over 1.000. Its time to either stow him away forever and not put him on the play off roster, or just outright DFA him. He isn't fulfilling his job as a baseball player, and I don't see anyway he can fix his problems. Not with the repertoire he is currently using.
  14. BigSlick
    Agreein' wit dis post Although it may be better or worse depending on who we play in the first series, because of who we can trot out in a 5 game set. Against the Dodgers? I might bump that up to about 70%
  15. BigSlick
    Its really such a shame ERA is calculated the way it is, since it made Zambrano's last start overpower his previous awesome starts and now looks like semi bloated 3.22. Well, bloated for big Z that is. In the end he may have given up 9 earned runs, but that can only cost him 1 game in the standings, ah well, there are better metrics out there. Go out and dominate, please. Sweep 'em if possible, but a series win is good enough. Z and Dempster in the series should at least guarantee that.
  16. BigSlick
    Of course we can, David Even bad pitchers record more outs than runs
  17. BigSlick
    I don't care if he doesn't walk people I don't care You have to cut him
  18. BigSlick
    Why is Howry still in the major leagues? I mean I guess I could keep asking this, but he can't consistently get outs and just gives up hard hit balls
  19. BigSlick
    Why? It's just a bruise. Not like sitting on the bench is gonna help it any. This has nothign to do with the injury getting worse, it has everything to do with him not being able to play at his best ability If you are uncomfortable and can't have an easy swing you wont play well. This might happen with a left hip contusion
  20. BigSlick
    Incredible. Lilly with an easy 1-2-3 inning. Why couldn't he have done that against the bottom of their order last time?????
  21. BigSlick
    Gosh Aramis please be okay, now we have to lay another 5 runs on them to make me feel better
  22. BigSlick
    Well, lets see how Lilly gives up more runs I mean we all know he will just how is the question Also be okay Ramirez, plz?
  23. BigSlick
    I care more about them calling a curveball strike a curveball strike. In fact almost all the success a lefty pitcher has who is not named Randy Johnson is if the ump actually calls his curveball a strike anywhere. (They rarely do)
  24. BigSlick
    top 7 still scoreless at least Peavy has a more durable arm on him than Sheets, thats my only hope here
  25. BigSlick
    Hey padres, win a stupid game you losers
