    I wasn't watching the game last night, but I've seen Z on rare occasions pull out a super slow changeup on hitters(one particularly vivid memory of him getting the 3rd out on a K by that pitch). It could've been that.

    haha, they promoted Lansford? Whatever gets Marquez Smith to Daytona I guess.

    Who's Mark Buehrle? is the only one I can think of, and that came after a Sox player accused him of cheating.

    haha portugal, this is your penance for playing the diving game and making Jersey hate soccer

    I love the Summer Olympics for a couple reasons. First of all, we always win the medal count by a ridiculous number, since the games are essentially a "look how awesome/rich we are". Also, the Winter Olympics suck because everything is judged. Most of the Summer Games are races, no judges deciding crap. For most of the games I'll be back at school but classes will not have started yet, so I'm hoping to catch as much of it as I can. As far as personal tie-ins, my girlfriend will be at the games covering Cycling, so I suppose I need to follow those events.

    I'm watching the game right now, and one of the announcers said he hits a HR every 5.9 ABs in his career. :-& haha, that's not even close to being true. In his career, in the minors, against RHP, against LHP, as a Brewer, none of them even close to one HR per 6 ABs.

    Let's try this nesting doll style: Last 7 days: .150/.227/.150/.377 Last 14 days: .233/.267/.279/.546 In June: .288/.333/.322/.655 Last 28 days: .281/.366/.303/.670 Since April: .300/.382/.337/.719 2008 Total: .309/.387/.370/.757 Not a good trend to be found.

    Flyout, K, walk, and groundout for Samardzija's 3rd. 3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1/2 K/BB, 3 GO-4 FO
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    2 runs for Tennessee in the first. Fuld tripled, Colvin singled, and Fox doubled.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Those aren't the fouls where people roll around on the ground. They go down, they get the whistle, and play resumes. No different than taking a charge.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    The walks need to come back, and quickly. Theriot's not trending in a good direction.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Someone pointed out in another thread that the answer to your first question is no. You don't have to use the DH, but if you do it has to be for the Pitcher.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    Same here. 1-2-3 first for Samardzija. Walk, DP on a lineout to Fuld in CF, and a groundout.

    People hold their knees and legs because it frakking hurts to be running full speed and then get knocked to the ground, or have someone kick you in the ankles or slide into your legs when you're running and cutting. I think the view of someone embellishing a foul has colored the opinion of what a typical foul looks like. I know the actual fouls can hurt. I'm not talking about those. Then you're talking about something that happens very rarely.

    Hill, Samardzija, Rhee, and Pina, fun pitching day.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    That seems like an awful fine line to draw. Most dives in soccer don't add any time. The player may roll around on the ground sometimes, but the ball wouldn't have been put in play anyway because the team is getting in position for a set play, or just getting forward for the free kick.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yep. Although it can depend on the teams. The US v. Germany in Soccer probably won't have as many flops as any Duke home game in basketball.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    If the Mets and Braves win today, then the Cubs are 12-10 against teams .500 or better. Not an issue for me.

    I was at the Cardinal game last night. Really boring game for the most part, no dominating pitching, and the only extra base hit before the 7th inning was a fly ball that DeJesus lost in the lights. I did get to see Guillen gun down Ludwick at 3rd on the next play though, and then came the home runs. Gordon absolutely smoked his. Really weak crowd for StL-KC, they said 43k, but there couldn't have been more than 30k there.

    Tim Alderson is a pitcher, and threw 5 IP his age 18 season. In Rookie Ball. Noonan also spent his entire age 18 season in Rookie ball. Adrian Gonzalez was the number 1 pick, and only got 29 ABs in Low A at age 18(after hitting .295/.396/.358/.754 in Rookie Ball). Same thing with Hermida(47 NYP ABs, .224/.302/.321/.623 in Rookie Ball), Josh Hamilton(72 NYP ABs, .194/.205/.236/.441), James Loney, and Derek Jeter(37 SAL ABs, .593 OPS in Rookie, .688 in SAL). Prince Fielder split time between the MWL(.241/.303/.384/.687) and Rookie ball. Baldelli spent his entire age 18 year in Rookie Ball(.216/.254/.310/.564 in 232 ABs), same as Casey Kotchman, Ian Stewart, Billy Butler, Alex Rios(.269/.319/.325/.644, 234 ABs), Austin Kearns, Lastings Milledge(26 ABs), Jeff Francoeur, Joe Mauer, Jason Kendall(.261/.311/.279/.590, 111 ABs), and Jack Cust. It's not something to be super worried about.

    Someone clarify for me, is it a year from the draft date, signing date, or signing deadline that you can't trade a new draftee for?
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    He's absolutely killed left handed pitching this year. Someone in need of a bench bat should pick him up. A right handed Russell Branyan, as it were.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Why would it be a good thing for it to be between the 3B and pitcher? It's not going to get past them, and it makes a shorter throw for the 3B with more momentum to the base. Also, like has been mentioned, barehanding a slow roller and throwing to first from 3B is pretty easy, especially for a professional baseball player. It looks cool(and it's tons of fun to do), but it's not very difficult.
