    Howry's last 11 outings: 10 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 1 HR, 4/0 K/BB That's a 3.60 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, to go with a .189/.189/.378/.567 line against. EDIT: Howry since Mid-May: 25.2 IP, 25 H, 9 ER, 2 HR, 22/3 K/BB, .253/.272/.404/.676 line against

    And Molina comes in from the outfield to pinch hit, what overwrought nonsense.

    It might have been your initial reaction before seeing the replay, so I'm sorry if it was. But I didn't see anything wrong with what Theriot did there. He threw it to the only base he possibly had a play at, and where his teammate was pointing. Yeah initial reaction. And I guess Pence is quick so its doubtful we get the out at first Theriot has to charge that ball more. He's very good at getting outs on balls he gets to, with that exception. He waits on high hoppers too much.

    Whoever taught Hunter Pence to throw should be ashamed of themselves.

    Adding Cain and losing Hardy is a lateral move at best for this year.

    I don't mind PPR, but I think at this stage it might be something best put off til next year. Have a whole draft where people can consider who might be a keeper in that format the following year, then have the whole period of selecting keepers with that in mind. Doesn't matter to me either way though.
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yup. That sound you hear is the bottom falling out. Hey Jim Rome, how many times have you been wrong on this prediction already this year? Wow. Clever. Hearing different variations of "crap, we're screwed" every time the slightest thing goes wrong gets tiresome.

    Ditka's Army is Tobias/Rickrolled and 4th and Goal is ChiCubsFan

    Flaherty hasn't played in 5 days, I really wish we could find out what's going on with him. Matt Craig is 1 for 3 with his 2nd AAA home run. This barely improves his current 1.517 OPS with the I-Cubs.

    Someone explain to me why Ward is pinch hitting and not Edmonds.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    wait, they aren't going to use the other out of the bullpen? hahahahaha On one hand, Yost's creativity is something that baseball decision makers could use more of. On the other hand, that creativity should be used to do smart, efficient things, not change your 5 starter depending on the ballpark.

    This thread raises a legitimate point, please don't clutter it with tangentially pointless posts. Personally, I don't think the technology is in place to be able to replace umpires yet. Even stuff like pitch f/x misses pitches with some frequency, and without any human presence the slightest malfunction could be disastrous. Plus there's plenty of judgment calls to be made still, like check swings, balks, and safe/out(again, technology isn't there yet, or technically it is but would slow the game to an insane degree), interference, etc. I'm all for raising the amount of correct calls though, I have no attachment to the "human element" as you call it. It's just not very feasible yet.

    Sheets got tagged in the 4th. 4-1 Giants.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    I wonder how long they're going to let Jericho Jones annihilate AZL pitching.

    Howry has been fine this year. His walks and strikeouts are down a little bit, and with more batted balls some bad luck has hurt him more than it might've in the past. I mean, he's got a 35/6 K/BB, he's far, far, far from deserving to be DFA'd.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    I didn't see this game, but after I got out of the theater and found out we lost on a run in the bottom of the 9th, my first thought was "I bet Lou was using an inferior reliever", and sure enough Howry was in the game. When you're tied on the road in the 9th, every inning becomes a save situation, you need to start with your best remaining reliever and work backwords, not hold on to your closer hoping you get a save situation.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    It's easier to improve when you're changing the past.

    They got to play the Rockies?
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    He's gotten better as the season's progressed as well. .388/.448/.673/1.122 with a 7/7 K/BB this month and .459/.535/.784/1.319 the last 10 games. Wonder how he profiles defensively?
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Blah Blah Blah. Please learn to write in paragraphs and complete sentences. It might make me want to read what your post. By the way simple math tells me that '82 is actually 24 years EARLIER than '06 not 74 years later. There's no need for that type of condescension. Also, he's comparing to the Cubs. 82 - 08 = 74
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    So your logic is that mystique is going to make the difference? Or a devil's advocate "yaneverknow"? Please do better, say something about Ankiel and Pujols, or Duncan or something.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    This part confuses the hell out of me. This is his 21st season managing in major league baseball. We know what kind of manager he is. And he didn't do well with what last year? The only thing close to a "collapse" was the hole the team dug itself into at the beginning of the season, and they climbed out of that, obviously. That's not even the most confusing part. He calls him "an awesome manager" earlier in the paragraph.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Welcome to NSBB. This is the part of your post I think is correct.

    You guys just didn't go far enough North. Summers by Lake Erie are awesome weather-wise.
