    He also had over 700 MLB PA's where he hadn't done much of anything.

    lol Brenly "Dumatrait just failed Baseball 101, don't walk the bases loaded in front of the hottest hitter in the world"

    Johnson, please don't call off Kosuke there. He's moving towards third, you aren't. He has a good arm, you don't.

    The problem is that there's not enough sample size for Gallagher as a starter to properly evaluate, which was kind of my point. There's been several people saying that Gallagher's outing(s) haven't been great because he got lucky with giving up hard shots, he was even compared to Ryan F. O'Malley. That obviously hasn't been the case, and when those people claim "irrational exuberance" from those excited about a player of Gallagher's potential replacing the dead ends of Marquis/Lieber, it's easy to understand why they'd be aggravated. I don't think he's O'Malley, and I didn't say his starts were bad. I said they weren't great, and weren't bad, and basically let's wait and see before getting too worked up. I seriously can't believe my point is being missed. You're the one who quoted me, I was responding to the thread in general in the first place.

    This includes his relief work, but this year he's given up a 14.3 LD% with a .302 BABIP against, hardly indicative of him leading a charmed life. In fact, by those numbers he's been unlucky.

    wtg Lou This is Theriot's first game off since April 22
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    Who's expecting immediate dominance out of Gallagher? I think most people are hoping for "better than Marquis", which isn't out of reach.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Well, he's our 2nd best reliever today with Wood unavailable.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Why is Johnson hitting
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    good to see McLouth continue to OPS 200 points better than he ever has in his life
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    Just shy of 1.700.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Fukudome and Edmonds back to back? My brain hurts.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    He wasn't a free agent. His agent would still negotiate the contract. Right, what he's getting at is that the dollar amount(5+ million annually) is low because they're buying out years that he's under team control, for the most part. I think 2008 Braun is a little closer to what we'll see going forward than 2007 Braun. This is what happens when he doesn't OPS 1.400 against LHP. His production probably won't be too much different to Ramirez, but without the positional premium. Essentially, he'll be in that "not quite awesome" tier of outfielders like the ones he's currently close to in OPS, the Carlos Lees and Raul Ibanii of the world.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    So not 6 or 7, but 5?
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Thank you very much for two first pitch outs San Diego, 21 pitches isn't bad at all for 2 IP.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    Oh geez, I completely forgot Fox was in the pen. Yeah, Ascanio needs to be up for him immediately.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    He went 5, 5, 6, and 3.2 innings, and that start was shortened partially because he gave up 3 unearned runs. This wearing down that Marshall supposedly went through is a myth.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Even last year he was an upgrade v. RHP versus what we're getting now from mostly Johnson with some Pie.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Last August Sean Marshall's ERA was 6.21 over 27.2 innings in six starts. He'd pitched 70 innings, and pretty good innings, leading up to that, starting in late May. Now, I suspect another year of experience will generate some extra knowledge and endurance, but banking on him to be effective from mid-May through October 2008 would be a foolish gamble Here's another way to characterize August '07 for Marshall. First 2 starts: 8 IP, 12 ER, 12.25 ERA Last 4 starts: 19.2 IP, 7 ER, 3.20 ERA To characterize Marshall as falling apart last August is not true.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    I had to wait forever to see Marquis' head pop out of there. I thought Frostwyrm was playing a joke on everyone who thought they knew what was coming after the Macias version.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    those stats (save bb:k) are skewed in part by a .356 BABIP, good for 7th worst in all of baseball His BABIP is that high because he's giving up a staggering amount of line drives, 24.8%.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    I really think Ascanio is ready to help the bullpen. 19 IP, 2.29 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 9.60 K/9, 3/1 K/BB, .192 BAA Against righties he's been even better. 11.2 IP, 8 H, 4 BB, 15 K, 1.20 GO/AO, .186 BAA
