    What's Schmidt's pitch count? 66

    A secondbaseman with normal sized legs could have gotten to first on time. I totally blame Neifi. actually he got there, he just couldn't find the bag. anyway, neifi sucks.
  3. stitchface
    But Neifi still should've been there. no, he should have been where he was in case hill couldn't get to the ball.
  4. stitchface
    not neifi's fault. hill could have tagged him or beat him to the bag.

    we'll see about that composure now.

    speaking of weak arms, I thought the best damon sign in boston was: "Looks like Jesus, Acts like Judas, Throws like Mary"

    Damon is also a different style hitter. He has some power and a lot more patience (relatively speaking) than Pierre. Hendry somehow missed that for much of the second half last year, Pierre got demoted to hitting 8th. He really wasn't that year. He slapped at the ball a ton.

    Pierre

    stitchface posted a topic in Fantasy Sports

    His season reminds me of the year Johnny Damon was on the A's - he couldn't hit the ball out of the infield. Damon of course rebounded nicely. Unfortunately, Pierre wasn't good last year either so I wouldn't hold out any hope.

    I would get rid of the following people: MacPhail Hendry Baker Clines Matthews Pole Rothschild Pierre Jones Rusch Bynum Perez Would that send enough of a message?
  14. stitchface
    Getting rid of hendry would definitely help more than getting rid of dusty, but dusty is bad too and is grossly overpaid.
  15. stitchface
    I think Dusty will make it through 2006 but he won't be back. Until the team struggles with wood, prior, and lee, dusty has an easy excuse. plus, once dusty is gone, the focus of the failures will shift.

    I'm glad someone else remembers how poorly sosa threw the ball in his last years.
  17. stitchface
    jim wanted guys that can catch - no one said anything about throwing. or hitting for that matter.
  18. stitchface
    Words were exchanged, I'm guessing, regarding the airmail throw in the 1st that allowed Cameron to move to 2nd. I caught only the tail end, so I don't know for sure if he was "chewing". Wait a minute, Juan Pierre OVERTHREW somebody? Alert the media! not exactly. his throw sort of went straight up.
  19. stitchface
    Juan, if you want, I could post the rest of his phone number if you wanted to vent your past A's frustration out on him. Kent probably wouldn't mind either. :) yea, before slide jeremy slide, there was catch the damn ball terrence.

    yep, he's a troll. a drug addiction to abuck.

    the one they showed on BBTN was nasty.

    that's not the logic at all. you definitely don't want to dictate to them tho. People are in leadership/management positions for a reason. If the organization allowed Wood to assess and decide for himself last year, I'm concerned for the organization. I'd much rather have a player be mad and sit than a player get worse and waste even more salary. Fires are better off prevented. This isn't a case of who makes more at the office, this is the case of the guy writing the checks getting to make the decisions, even if his employees make more than him. Its quite simple - he who writes the checks makes the rules.

    now you're trolling. I thought he was using humor to point out the ridiculousness of CubfaninCA assertion that just because a player gets paid more, means he should get to decide what he does, even though the franchise invests the money in him and should call all shots that might affect his future health and well being. I said "depends on the situation." Pretty convienient caveat. Is that when ever you decide the situation applies? Baseball's a situational game. An authoritative approach is unwise, especially when you're dealing with multi-millionaires who can leave you for the Yankees, Red Sox or Dodgers. The point that seems to escape most discussing how best to play the game. You can apply rules to the long-term, but baseball is a situational game. Unfortunately, Cubs management doesn't get how this works.

    wow, he was off to an amazing start. That stat on sox starters is incredible.

I said "depends on the situation." There's truth to that - abusing Beckett to win the world series was probably a good decision for the marlins. Using wood out of the pen was a bad decision. if bartman doesn't screw the cubs, then it's a bad decision. gotta gamble sometimes. the cubs gambled away the first month of april 2006. at least we're seeing marshall, guzman and hill. :) I don't think its a bad move even if Florida loses - you don't get to that position often particularly when you sell off your entire team every few years. It gave the Marlins a chance to win it all. Using wood last year in the pen did not give the cubs a chance to win anything.
