    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's pretty deceiving to label Hill a 2 pitch guy. At the base he only throws a fastball and a curve, but I'm almost positive he throws 2 different curveballs(additionally, I've seen him drop down to throw a frisbee a couple times), and I think he intentionally throws his fastball at various speeds, much like the desired effect of a changeup.

    I'm not sure, but I think that was for a specific series, not a standing thing.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    screw you Froemming, not even close
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    Estrada's going to be exhausted until Tuesday scampering after the ball like that.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    I have a feeling Froemming is about to ring up DeRosa on a pitch that he called a ball twice this at bat. yay I'm wrong
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    That was strike 3. Didn't matter.
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    THE SLOW MOVING PITCH IS THE SLIDER, IT'S GOING TO DROP
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Handlebar McSkullet Only 1 T.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    That has to be a fluke. If he's really that bad, then they're going to be hit hard, and/or at least into play. Figures that something outrageously unlucky like this would screw up our pen's rest for the whole series.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    29 pitches that inning, unreal Okay, try to get through 5 then.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    2 out, Hardy on First, Fielder up
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Crimeny people, it's the game thread, let people vent their frustrations with irrational rants.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Opponents are hitting .333 off the Rook on first pitches. Probably just reacting to the scouting report. Everyone hits better on the first pitch. That doesn't mean everyone should swing at the first strike they see, especially considering the situation.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    That's a terrible first pitch swing by Lee. You've never seen this guy before, the first 2 guys go down meekly, and you're coming off a marathon top half of the inning. Take a strike.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Well, I guess the goal for Hill now is to try to make it to the 6th, even if he doesn't make it through the 6th. Not allowing any more runs in that time frame would be good too. Time to put up a bunch on Gallardo.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Cedeno trounces Cliff Barmes(haha) performance-wise too.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    How did Onyewu fare during the Euro season? I'd be hesitant to have him fall from "stud defender/central back of the future" to "oaf off the bench" based just on the Gold Cup.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Law? On the Bulls? No thanks. I like our undersized combo guard better. I would've been fine with Julian Wright, but I prefer Noah. Law would've made a nice 3rd guard that can score a bit and capably trigger the offense, especially if Thabo moved more towards the 3 if Nocioni was dealt for post help. He would've been an immediate upgrade over Duhon's 25 mpg, IMO. Even more so compared to Noah, who won't have that type of PT to step into. Brown + Thomas only got ~35 mpg, and I can't see Thomas not getting the majority of those minutes between him and Noah.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    Aside from trading the pick, Law IV and Wright are two guys I could see people logically preferring to Noah.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Barrett got off to an awful start offensively, but he was clearly not a good bet to continue to be that bad. He was having some terrible luck BABIP-wise, and at the time of the trade this was his line in June: .302/.370/.476.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Hopefully the emergence of Marshall has put an end to any more Dempster to the rotation shenanigans.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Or Cedeno?
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    My goodness, the Blazers are just drafting circles around people. Imagine if they had kept Byars, they could go 2 deep like this: Jack/Green Roy/Byars Miles?/McRoberts? Randolph/Aldridge/Magloire Oden/Aldridge EDIT: I didn't realize that New York deal actually happened. So then it's Jack/Francis/Green Roy/Fernandez/Finnish dude Miles?/Fernandez?/McRoberts?/Finnish dude? Aldridge/Frye/McRoberts Oden/Frye
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Green would make Duhon expendable since they seem to not like him. Fits the similar profile of a college PG that won a ton, and does a little bit of everything.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    To quote SSR, "An Oaf".
