I noticed that the Astros' pitching coach wouldn't use the cell phone, he used the hard-wired phone every time. Did the Astros coach have a wireless phone? I didn't see today's game but I didn't notice the other team referenced in the article last night.
TT, are those for his career or for this season? I went through all of the boxscores for June and he's only 10/39 (.256 BA) this month. This season, although brewcrewball hasn't updated since the 6th, so the June numbers aren't very accurate. Forgot to check the update day when I first got them.
He's obviously doing it for shock value or something. No one is that dumb THAT'S IT. I'm killing Dusty. I don't care if I go to jail for life. He's dead. Anyone know where he is? Where he is, I know not.
Too bad those blowups happen though.... I don't get what you're trying to say. Are you saying too bad they HAPPENED to marshall. You think they will continue to happen to marshall. Too bad it happens to ALL pitchers? The point is that Marshall has pretty much been as good as his numbers indicate. He's had some pretty bad ones and some pretty good ones. Right now he's had more good than bad and his numbers reflect that pretty accurately.
hill turned 26 in march. if you look at his stats in the minors the last 2 years i dont see how you cant put him in the "prime pitcher" catagory. age aside, he has been the most dominate lefty in the minors the last 2 seasons. he also has had great command in the minors this year as opposed to when he has pitched in the bigs (for whatever reason). I don't think that's quite true. He's a better than average lefty in the minors who's now (my bad on the age) 26 and still can't stick. Not prime. I'd be real curious to find out who's been better than Hill these last two years. He's not just succeeding in the minor leagues, he's absolutely shredding them, especially this year.
I find it amusing how you make two posts saying how baseball is random and is poorly described by stats, and then go and end your post by saying that the reason the cubs are bad is because they have low OBP. Also, i would like to meet these four or five good high OBP players. I can think of two good obp guys for the cubs this year: Barrett and Walker. And one who is decent: Murton (and he's in a downward obp spiral) corner infielders
It was the last sentence's philosophy that made Corey so bad with the Cubs. Not to mention the fact that he really wasn't that good at it. Except that's not really a fact at all. Actually, the exact opposite is true.
An old man was asked, while lying on his deathbed, "Old man, if you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?" The old man sat up and said, "I wouldn't have taken it so serious."
