Hard to give Ramirez an error on that, and they pretty much never give an error to a first baseman on a scoop.(which I disagree with, it's part of their job, that's an error on Lee.) I'd give the error to Ramirez. He made a good play fielding the grounder, but he had enough time to get the runner by a step or two. He made a bad throw, so to me that's an error. The throw bounced, but it was right on line, that's an easy scoop that most first baseman make. considering that lee is one of the best in the game at scooping balls in the dirt, i don't see how you can say that "most first basemen" make that play Wasn't phrased correctly, that play is made by the average 1B 95% of the time. Even the best in the business don't get it done every single oppurtunity(hence why I say it's an error on Lee.) There aren't many easier scoops than that one.(bounced a little too close to the bag) Is it your belief that every throw that doesn't get there on a fly that isn't handled cleanly is an error on the thrower? -
Yes, but I disagree with the notion he should be starting right now.

I'm guessing the source of people wanting Stone as GM is Steve Stone. I'm guessing Stone's making clear he has no interest in being a GM is based on the actual interest in his GMing. Don't get me wrong, he wouldn't be the worst GM in baseball, but the other awful GMs get their chances because they've worked their way up through the system making excellent coffee.

I wouldn't be terribly opposed to taking him out as a precaution and letting Ward finish out the game.

Soriano's struggling, he's not comfortable as leadoff man.

have you seen hill run/field? it's pretty obvious that he's a lousy athlete. it's why I hate the DH in minor league ball. I realize that it helps you develop more hitters, but it atrophies your pitchers hitting ability really badly I love it, pitchers in A ball and lower don't need to waste their time learning how to bunt and whatnot. yeah, but if really good-hitting pitchers from high school and college kept hitting all the way through the system, then their spot in the lineup in the majors wouldn't be an automatic out You don't have to use the DH. If a franchise decided this would be beneficial to their system, then they should have their pitchers bat for themselves. That was a harder scoop, well done Derrek.
-
Lee's gotta scoop that.
-
K-ing Carlos Lee is a good thing
-
Pitching to Theriot was curious, no matter how much he's been sucking. We have no average hitting pitchers, kinda odd. Zambrano and Marquis are probably 2 of the 10 best hitting pitchers in baseball. Hill and Lilly might be 2 of the 10 worst. Marshall was just as bad.
-
Great work Rich.
-
They should murder him.
-
Hill needs to be stretched out tonight. He's gotta get through 6 even if it takes him 120 pitches.
-
snark = snide comment.
-
Henry Blanco is old and injured.
-
Not even the almighty Geo Soto? If he said nobody on this team is even close to Soto at throwing out baserunners would you snark to that?
-
Nice slide.
-
Albers probably shoulda thrown the ball to first, and ya know taken the out. Probably shoulda bunted with Kendall.
-
Adam Everett gets to that does a somersault and then throws out DeRosa.
-
I'll take it :)
-
Nice grab DeRO
-
I can't say definitively so? Sorry Len. D-O-N-E is how I spell Cardinals.
-
Oh, and Bob Brenly blamed it on the pitcher. According to Bob, Kendall can be blamed for approximately 2 of the baserunners he hasn't thrown out. And yeah, our pitchers do suck at holding on baserunners, but not as bad as Kendall sucks at defense.
-
Hey guys, Jason Kendall didn't throw out a baserunner!
