    alou is going to be a dp machine hitting behind bonds.

    but rusch has more experience with being terrible than hill. by the way, it looks like rain here in des moines.
  3. abuck1220
    no way in hell that's true. i think i saw him k three times in one game in des moines. edit: he struck out 93 times in nashville.

    why is this a story? so the cardinals were up by 100 and larussa wanted his pitcher to throw a strike? wow, larussa is a tactical genius and a saint! it's not like wainwright was trying to walk him on purpose and larussa put a stop to it or something. geez...

    wow...papelbon! i may have a spare closer to trade soon...

    that's the funny thing. for all the havoc he caused on the basepaths today -- way more than one guy will usually cause on a given day -- all it amounted to was ONE run. meanwhile six other guys simply put one good swing on a ball and accounted for TEN.

    i can't tell you how john patterson is going to pitch tonight, but i can tell you that i like his beard!
  8. abuck1220
    it led to one run. the home runs accounted for four. your point is...?
  9. abuck1220
    you're right...he scored on his homerun b/c he was fast! :D
  10. abuck1220
    Pretty bad when defending someone you can't even defend him and go WAY off topic. Game would've been tied if not for Barrett's 2 bonehead plays. This was only the 2nd game folks, get used to seeing this all year. it's not off topic at all. you said 'chalk this one up to barrett' as if he was the lone reason the cubs lost. that obviously wasn't the case, as evidenced by the walks and home runs.
  11. abuck1220
    yeah, that really pissed me off when he gave up all those walks and home runs.
  12. abuck1220
    10 of the 14 runs scored on homers today.

    speed has gotten the cubs back in this game!

    Guzman was on the hill in Des Moines last night in an exhibition game against the University of Iowa. How did he do? Can't find a box score but the I-Cubs won 20-0. Guzman and Hill both pitched according to the story on the U of I baseball website but nothing on who else threw. The Hawkeyes only had four hits. three of them were off guzman.
  15. abuck1220
    hill or guzman, please.
  16. abuck1220
    i liked it better when the minor league pitchers that should be in the rotation instead of rusch pitched on the same day as him, so it was easier to see how ridiculous it was that the cubs kept rusch in there.
  17. abuck1220
    santos was traded to toronto, by the way.
  18. abuck1220
    i think the reds, royals, pirates, rockies and marlins have the best team chemistry. i guess we'll see how they end up!
  19. abuck1220
    i think speed is more important than chemistry, if that makes anybody feel better.
  20. abuck1220
    wow. i strongly disagree. Well, if you can put together a team with great OBP, power and speed, I'd like it more than if you put together an equivalent team minus the speed. If that's the point, then yeah, okay, I can agree with that. If the argument is the listed "speed team" back a few pages, I think the only reason that team would not finish last is because of Lee and Abreu, where speed is just the finishing touch on what makes them such great players. the part i disagree with is the idea that the speed team will win more games even if the power team scores more runs (assuming pitching is equal). he seems to be saying that if both teams have the same pitching, the fast team (scoring, let's say, 4 runs a game) will win more games than the higher scoring power team (scoring 5 runs a game).
  21. abuck1220
    wow. i strongly disagree.
  22. abuck1220
    Not attempting a pass in football is dumb (unless you have the most unstoppable running game out there), not attempting a SB is not dumb. yeah, the 'two out of three outcomes are bad' theory is ridiculous. the two bad outcomes apply to running the ball as well.
  23. abuck1220
    i saw valdez in mesa, but i didn't see him (or anybody for that matter) throwing. guzman starts tonight for the i-cubs in an exhibition against the univ of iowa.
  24. abuck1220
    that's not the point of this conversation at all. The point is that on a large scale, home runs are better, like with a club that hits over 300 of them. My argument was that, and I'm just using these numbers as an example: a team with 175 home runs and speed is better than a 225 home run team with little speed/baserunning ability. as long we're making proclamations w/ nothing to back them up...a team that has 104 sac bunts is better than a team that has 34 wild pitches.

    Giambi's OBP doesn't count, though, since he's slow. i thought the same thing, but he didn't have any problems scoring on matsui's homer. :D
