    wtg McKanin you goof, try to sac bunt in the first inning with a 2 run deficit
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    He just screen caps ESPN.com's matchup page ;) It's probably the most organized one. Yahoo only has stats since 1987... so it might leave out veteran match-ups. But I might just switch to Baseball Reference... IMHO the most trusted baseball stats site. I can't think of too many hitters and pitchers who have been around since 1986, you're probably safe using Yahoo if you wanted to.

    I wish the Ryan Church rumors would come back.
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    Why's that? Those are some pretty impressive packages for Teixeira, and odds are pretty stacked against them keeping him long term.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    But aren't they way outperforming their pythag Yes, they were 5 games better than expected prior to the nightcap.
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Cardinals are not going to catch anyone with a rotation that's a mix and match of: Wainwright Looper Thompson Wells Reyes Maroth Wellemeyer And the fans in attendance embarrass themselves by doing the wave behind the plate while they get strike 3 on Mench to end the inning. Mench with some magic words for Vanover, I won't be surprised if he's tossed when they come back from commercial.

    Encarnacion has like 9 hits today, 5-2 Cards
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    wtg Albie 4-2 StL

    Probably not, since most foreign leagues will be in full swing during that time frame. That's why the World Cup, Gold Cup, Euro '08, etc. are all in the summer. I was more referring to any cups next summer or any meaningful qualifying games before world cup qualifying starts in a year. one calendar year of friendlies seems pointless, space out the world cup and gold cup a bit more. Well, we've got the Confederations Cup in '09, but I think it'd be hard to have a real competitive tournament in '08. We'd only be a year removed from having the Gold Cup and Copa America against the entire western hemisphere, and Euro '08 knocks out most everyone else save the likes of Australia, Korea, or Japan.

    That was a fielding error. Bouncing ball towards the line that he duffed an attempt at a backhand on. Ah. Yahoo's gamecenter said it was a throwing error. That's what I figured. I needed to take advantage of the opportunity to make listening to Hrabosky worthwhile though.

    Up to the minute season line for Hernandez: 65 IP, 4.29 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 5.68 K/9, 2.91 BB/9, 1.95 K/BB, 0.83 HR/9
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    That's all I'm implying as well... If the game is on the line, then bring him in..not w/ a 5 run lead. Just my opinion. You have to keep him sharp too. The guy's faced 2 hitters in 7 days, going an inning isn't overusing him in the slightest. Wuertz has thrown 3 straight days, and Ohman has thrown 3 of the last 4.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    The good thing is that we have 3(4 if you count that Wuertz who seems to have his good slider back) other RH relievers to use, so the temptation to pull a Chad Fox won't be nearly as strong for Lou.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    This is only his 3rd outing in a week, and both those other outings he faced a combined 2 hitters.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Hernandez gave up 2 runs in the 5th, but he still had a strong outing. 5 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 6/1 K/BB Only 2 hits for Peoria so they trail 2-0. Veal having some control issues but not getting burned thus far. 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5/3 K/BB
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yessir. Cards have 1st and 2nd with no outs in the 4th. My HS Baseball coach called that a BIF(Big Inning Formula). Reyes will try to lay one down.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Branyan is Three True Outcomes to the extreme. 76 of his 146 PA's this year were BB, K, or HR. .192 BA and still a .748 OPS.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yes, and after they get sent down they receive a higher minor league salary, if I'm not mistaken.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Probably not, since most foreign leagues will be in full swing during that time frame. That's why the World Cup, Gold Cup, Euro '08, etc. are all in the summer.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    I guess, but what would be the indication of that?
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Good. Murton is worth more than Ty, much more. Why would Tampa want Dan Wheeler? Are they in the playoff chase? The opposite is true too. Why does Houston want Wigginton?
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yeah, he'd need the ability to convince umpires our pitchers only get 2 outs instead of three to be a worthwhile acquisition.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    It's pretty telling that "playing three games in a row" is grounds for a day off for Floyd.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    so you'd put the tying run on with a walk up by two? Didn't Pujols drive in the winning run (Rolen--who was on second)? The only runner that mattered was Rolen.. No, Pujols drove in the first run, and scored the tying run on Rolen's double. Rolen's run won the game on Ludwick's single.
