    Reed Johnson is leading off tomorrow. I'll be there in the crappy terrace with work people. I'll be the only guy there in a Fred McGriff jersey.

    HAHAHA Votto double switched out.
  3. SouthSideRyan
    Joey Votto 0 for 1. Looks like he needs some more seasoning.

    A few days ago I said how I wish Dusty Baker went to a team whose misery over the next 3 years I could truly revel in. Well now he is on a team whose misery I can truly revel in. And it's not because of Marty Brennamen.

    So in the early 80s when every SS was an abysmal hitter, you guys would've been okay with having DHs for them?
  6. SouthSideRyan
    That's the point, you gotta take Thomas's defense to get his offense. You have to take Mink's "offense" to get his defense. Just because teams don't evaluate pitcher's offense doesn't mean it doesn't have an effect.

    they were 16 games over .500 in one-run games too? you're being intentionally dense. if you have a team with a good run differential and good execution of fundamental play, you probably have a WS contender. i can't believe this is so controversial, but the groupthink evident in this thread is that the 2nd aspect is simply BS. it's really a bizarre bias. I'm being intentionally dense???? The '03 Tigers were one of the worst teams EVER. Yet they managed to perform above 500 in 1 run games. 19-18 in 1 run games. 24-101 in non 1-run games. You don't see what I'm getting at here? You have one of the worst teams in baseball history, yet according to your definition of what wins 1 run games, they were a fundamentally sound worst team in baseball. Imagine how many losses they'd have if they weren't fundamentally sound? They may have only won single digit games!

    They were 35-19 in 1-run games and outproduced their expected W-L by 8 games. That indicates to me they excelled at fundamental play and situational hitting (and featured a strong bullpen). I believe the '03 Tigers had a winning record in 1 run games. Yep 19-18 in 1 run games, despite an overall 43-119 record.

    This is true, if you just left the lineup card blank in the 1 spot and took an out every time that spot came up it would hurt the team. You forgot about my mother's basement!!

    Because a HR is the best possible outcome of any at bat. You don't sacrifice everything for power, but, given the choice between 8 HR hitters and 8 IF single hitters, I don't think the choice is difficult. ...

    Jacque Jones was acquired by Dave Dombrowski and Crisp would be acquired by Jim Hendry.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    Never said that. And I'll give it until the end of June until Bruce is up. Rumor has it Dusty has wanted Bruce up since spring training, but Krivsky wouldn't allow it. Damn Dusty. Yeah that makes perfect sense and is right in line with Dusty's history.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    Crisp doesn't even play 2B.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Corey Patterson still your starting CF. But he's turned around his career, I forgot
  15. SouthSideRyan
    Marty Brennamen is dumber than Dusty Baker.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    If Rich Hill gives up more than 3 runs, he'll be sent to extended Spring Training.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    This is good, cause it keeps him as the starter.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    I personally thought it'd be funny if Dusty never won at Wrigley again.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    This inning is the reason Volquez is having Tommy John Surgery in 2 years.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    I can't wait to see what Blanco does next.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Just call me butter.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    It could just be one of those patented Dusty lets the pitcher hit, then inexplicably pulls him moves.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    If they kept hiring guys like Dusty, it'd be a good idea.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    I'm glad Lilly's got his spot locked up.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    I don't know how to put into words how awesome it is that Bako is their starting catcher.
