  1. Geez Gagne to Mota is an enjoyable bullpen combo.
  2. I guess your right with Josh Fogg winning a game and Ben Sheets losing a game in this homestand One example doesn't overturn the general rule. The Crew are 30-16 at home, a .652 winning percentage. Yeah they are a good home team but that doesnt mean you can ignore the fact that the NL's ERA leader is starting for the visitors. Or wait I think Lincecum is now the ERA leader. Guess we don't have to worry about him tomorrow though

  4. Edison Volquez has not nearly been as sharp the last four starts.
  5. The Pirates are rolling over and dying
  6. Some numbers To finish....record 81-81....24-44 85-77....28-40 90-72....33-35 -------------------play .500 ball rest of way record 91-71------- 93-69....36-32 95-67....38-30 ----------------------Current pace 98-64-------------------------- 100-62....43-25 103-59....46-22 105-57....48-20 110-52....53-15 116-46....59-9
  7. Seriously. Why doesn't someone ask him why he believes Marshall is a LOOGY when he's a SP and faces plently of RH. Ding Ding Ding I was the original one to make the point, but to play Devil's Advocate: Career vs. RHB = .271 BAA Career vs. LHB = .235 BAA The numbers are almost equal this year, but his OPS against is better vs. LHB Of course they are. I would think just about every LHP not named Mike Remlinger has a better BAA/OPSA against LH than RH, but that doesn't mean bad Marmol should pitch instead of Marshall. This is directed at the devil's advocate, not you. I'm pretty sure you agree with me. I do. Even if Righties are hitting .300 against Marshall, its much better than Marmol throwing the ball all over the place, giving up contact and making bad decisions out there.
  8. He's taken a couple of light shots at the A's fans, although I'm pretty sure he is trying to me more complimentary of the Cubs fans than dissing the A's fans.
  9. Lou said that cause he didn't hear him. I know, but in context its funny beacuse Lieber is never used.

  11. Reporter: Is Lieber OK? Was he available? Lou: Who? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. Lou's reasoning for keeping Marmol in: He has tremendous success against right handers. Yay, use numbers from April and May!
  13. Looks like we're down to 5 available players to play in the All Star game.

  15. Get well soon Marmol. This should be Lou's best post game press conference of the year.
  16. With Reed and Theriot, that's asking to have this turned into a scoreless inning... I'm pretty sure the Reed has the best average with RISP, if I saw one of Fred's stats correctly. Don't want him up vs. Righties ever though
  17. Yep, but my Dusty dice says to go with Cain or Lincecum. This is a big game. Dude. I'd love for Lincecum to come in here and pitch 2-3 innings with the Cubs finally winning in the 14th or so :)
  18. So am I reading this right...the Giants only have 1 bullpen arm left in the game? Alex Hinshaw
  19. I guess....Marshall was warmed up for the last half of the inning but Lou didn't make the switch. It was really bizarre. I would say Lou had a deer in headlights look, but he came to the mound twice that inning ...the second time with the trainer to see if he was ok to continue. Really really bizarre.
  20. When I watch Molina run, I feel like I'm watching my Dad's Over 40 baseball league.
