    Stop trying to pull everything, Rammy.

    I don't think he wanted to rattle Marquis. Marquis was about ready to flip out and have a meltdown on the mound. Lou going out there screaming at the umpire would not help the situation. Um...Soriano's hot again. I guess that makes sense, but still, Lou didn't look pissed at all. Maybe he didn't see the pitch or something. It seemed mostly to be about helping Marquis keeping his composure. Lou took his sweet time out on the pitcher's mound with Marquis. It's clear he just wanted to calm Marquis down. Oh **** ****, you're my favorite pitching coach in the majors.

    I'm glad he got out of that with only one run scored, but that sequence of events was just ridiculous.

    Runge was about ready to confront Marquis. Brenly's pissed about his response to that.

    Throws the same pitch in the same place...and gets it called a strike.

    I didn't even have to read Soto's lips to know what he said. "That was a ball? Really?"
  8. Outshined_One
    What in the heck was that?
  9. Outshined_One
    Strikes, Jason.

    When you walk Corey Patterson, you really should stop and re-evaluate your life.
  11. Outshined_One
    That was nearly a disaster.
  12. Outshined_One
    Would have been nice to see that drop for a hit. Oh well.
  13. Outshined_One
    That works.
  14. Outshined_One
    So, how will the Cubs blow this one?
  15. Outshined_One
    Well, that's good.

    That was your first mistake :-)) Moneyball is excellent but don't mistake it for a book about the importance of OBP. Many ppl miss this point: the book is about maximizing edge in the marketplace of baseball players, where edge is something like expected run production per dollar. OBP was simply the performance measure that Billy Beane discovered was the most undervalued at the time. Also keep in mind that this is something which is always shifting since these kinds of markets tend to correct themselves when something that is undervalued is being exploited. Currently, OBP is considered a valuable trait for position players to have for a number of clubs. The players with high OBP numbers are getting paid much more now than they were 10 years ago. Because of these shifts in the market and his limited budget, Beane always has to unearth valuable traits in players that other teams tend to undervalue in free agency and the draft. As for a book recommendation, I recently read The Cheater's Guide to Baseball and found it enjoyable. Zumsteg has a good sense of humor and clearly loves baseball. It never felt like he had an axe to grind or anything like that.

    I don't think either team could score a run with four outs in an inning at this point.
  19. Outshined_One
    They just don't make races any better. This is like watching the Special Olympics. Everybody's a winner!

    Daytona is up 6-0 going into the bottom of the 9th. :D

    I was annoyed when I found out this was on CSN+. Now I am not.

    I only watch Japanese cartoons when the women are being "tentacled" by large sea monsters :shock:

    I've always been under the impression that if Z wasn't a Cub, he'd be hated by 99.9% of the population around here. No doubt. He'd pass Valverde, AJ Alphabet, Carlos Lee, Braun, LaTroy, etc. by a mile. Message boards for other team's fans are in full agreement when it comes to hating Carlos Zambrano.

    I'm still sticking with the Jacque Jones comparison in terms of plate production. If Colvin can stick in CF, his numbers will be fine. If he's at a corner, I wouldn't be too thrilled with having him out there.
