I don't get it. So he's comparing himself and jones to sheffield or (a younger) alou? Newsflash Cliff, your like 40 and fall apart after 40 games every year. why not try to stretch those 40 games out? This quote just doesn't sit well with me. I really thought that Cliff would be a great pickup as a bench player with a start about every 3 days or so. I don't know, I give up. #-o Do you disagree with me or the quote i was referring to? It seemed like you kind of flamed out there at the end. While I may or may not disagree with you're assertion, I'd say you're probably reading into it a bit much.

Early pitching trends show same problems as last year

While it may be pedestrian, and I expect Soriano to be right around his career average this season, it's still a 40 point improvement from where he's at now. Matt Murton, admittedly, is a question mark. He only has 25 AB's so far, but I would assume that as the season goes on, he'll get a larger share of the AB's, but at this point, it's not necessarily an assumption based wholly in reality. We'll have to wait and see with him. I agree. Finishing off an inning can mean a lot of things, but in the end it doesn't really mean anything. Last week finishing off an inning was a matter of Lou still learning the bullpen staff and their correct uses, while this week it was a matter of our bullpen being incredibly taxed and not being able to use the bullpen in appropriate ways. This shouldn't be much of an issue after today, I can see Hill going 7 pretty easily, so that's only two innings of work, and voila!, fresh bullpen. Lets hope anyway. -

Pretty big if, I would say. For instance, do you think that Alfonso Soriano's OBP is going to stay in the .288 range? Matt Murton's .310? Michael Barrett's .302? Granted, D-Lee will fall and so will Aramis, but probably not as much as those other three will go up. Plus we've got Ronny Cedeno and Hendry Blanco stinking up our averages. I can see your argument, but I think it's more likely that we don't have nearly as much to worry about with our offense than we do with our starting pitching. -
Good god I hate the All-Star game.
-
Nope, just bad baseball. I can see bad baseball, I can't see curses.
-
If you turn out to be correct... I'll be so pissed. Feel free to be pissed.
-
Loaded for Pie. er, Theriot.
-
Who's Mark Buerhle?
-
Pardon my ignorance, but what is this all about? Good to see Caesar get the BB.
-
New guy needs to learn how to interrupt Ronny when he's babbling. I'd like to know what's going on in the game... Oh, It was Jacque striking out. Nevermind.

I can't believe Rothschild still has a job. I don't really think Rothschild is to blame for Z being a [expletive] headcase. Just sayin...
-
what's the quarter/time?
-
Yep. Maybe I should make that threat every time the Braves bat. That is probably not a good idea.
-
Most of them are 20-30. Eyre threw 2 pitches. Not sure how many Ohman threw. Depending on how many pitches he threw, I'd guess Cotts might be available. Man, our three righties are probably all out of the picture. This is not looking good.
-
... and Otis gets to keep his monitor!
-
He'll be there. Whether he'll be pitching in a form recognized by most fans of baseball is yet to be seen.
-
Trying to figure out what Jim Hendry will do based on sound baseball analysis and/or logic is a fruitless enterprise, my friend.
-
Pie triple!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
-
:lol:
-
Izturis and DeRosa just gave you your Christmas present. Unwrap and enjoy, Z. Please.
-
39 pitches after that walk.
-
April is to Carlos Zambrano as the Summer is to the Cubs.
-
Suprise! Weak groundout by Izturis.
-
I think what Z might have meant was that he was going to win the Cy Young for the opposing pitcher. Makes more sense now.
