good grief Cervelli, you're trying to frame (and hold!) pitches that are a yard off the plate, you're making yourself look like an idiot -
I can't tell if he was pissed off about not getting a super wide corner or by the time limit
-
lol is Cervelli showing up the umpire for not getting that call 8 inches off the plate? he is such an unlikeable little tool
-
(his name is Heyward)
-
lol Len has no idea where ball 1 to Polanco missed

Here's an interesting comparison, Arrieta by catcher Montero catching: 16 IP, 15 K, 2 BB Ross catching: 22 IP, 20 K, 9 BB Federowicz catching: 12 IP, 12 K, 6 BB

I'm very much closer to the 'root for laundry' end of the spectrum, but I still prefer not to have to have any conflicting emotions about being happy when a player on that team does well. Castro was one thing, Chapman is another. Also and probably more importantly, I have zero interest in paying the cost it takes to acquire Chapman only to have him be a free agent in a couple months.

Correct, Miggy lower in the order(especially against LHP) isn't new, but low enough that Russell passes him is a testament to Russell's hot streak and that it's Miggy's first game back(and against a LHP).

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 5-13-16

Candelario appears to be on a mission to illustrate that Spring Training is meaningless in the most extreme way possible. He's trending towards a .600 OPS at Tennessee. -
I liked this:

at least the Pirates fans have the Locke v. Arrieta matchup to look forward to tomorrow

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

Why does Orie getting charged with an error cost Wood a K? It doesn't impact any game state, the hitter is on base either way. -

none of this poor range nonsense, it was an error it was always an error and Kerry Wood has a no-hitter -
Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 5-13-16

Prior to this year I had some hope that Ryan Williams and/or Markey would be the next version of Hendricks. Both have had crummy starts to their season to take a lot of the wind out of those sails. So he's not filler but you aren't going to see great velocity or killer secondary stuff either. -
That kind of explains the "last calendar year" bit. When he's healthy he hits. He's 36 and was slumping pretty hard for a month plus prior to the injury last year. Again, he's not a .700 OPS guy yet, but incredulity at the idea that he isn't considered an offensive machine isn't really well founded.
-
I don't really think Holliday hitting in the middle of the order is a mistake, but it's an odd thing to plant a flag about. In the previous calendar year to that post he was hitting .236 /.332/.397, his offense declined from 2013 to 2014 to 2015, he's 36 and he missed time with injury last year to boot.
-
Come on. He's got a .871 OPS with a .267 BABIP. Holliday [expletive] hits. At the time of that post he was hitting .235/.322/.431.
-
Hammel definitely makes his offseason home in Eagleton.
-
Russell has played 16 of 17 games, him not playing both games of a double header is fine. Optimizing playing time is more than plugging people in until their health meter says 'give them rest'.
-
Is La Stella sick or nursing an injury? With a RH starting this game and a LH starting game 2, I figured he'd at least start this one.
-
That's one way to get around decreased velocity, Ramirez. Throw exclusively sliders.
-
North of 100 pitches, just gave up a baserunner (so pitching from the stretch), and the Padres best hitter due up who hadn't done poorly against Hendricks(1 for 3, no Ks). I like going to Strop there, I might have gone to a LHP for Wallace when it was clear Strop didn't have it, but that requires planning against Strop not getting either of the RHP out, and there's also still 11 more innings of baseball to play at least, so I get leaving him in.

Did we conjure some sort of inverse monkey's paw that got passed from Fowler to Zobrist?
