    What's the score?

    Why should you try to fix it when one of the top pitchers in the league has turned into the team's worst starter? One reason you might want to fix it is that the lower arm angle makes breaking balls break horizontally (staying in the same plane) instead of vertically. Also, it's pretty obvious that Zambrano is walking quite a few more batters than he used to. Maybe you need to work on it Larry. Zambrano has never been a great April pitcher, so it's difficult to differentiate how the angle is affecting him versus what other factors usually contribute to his April woes. I think you're overstating it when you say it's making his breaking balls break on a horizontal plane. It's not like he's dropping 90 degrees down into a sidearmer, and his problem isn't his breaking balls. He throws a sinking fastball that doesn't have the same action, plus he tends to leave more balls up when he drops down. That's the problem. Actually, he had a bad April last season, an ok one in 05 and a great April in 04 and 03.

    Man, yesterday was bad. I was up by 50 or so and now I'm down 10. At least I still have 2 starts (Lackey and Sabathia) to 1 (Sowers).

    needs to get his act together. He did last time. I must've missed that. :oops: 6+ IP, 3 ER, 3 H, 9 K/2 BB, 1 HR - 2 of the walks and 2 of the runs came in the 7th, the runs scored after he left.

    I said the same thing a week or two ago, and CubinNY, who was at the Iowa game that night, replied with this reason why he hasn't been able to make it to the majors: If he's terrible at both the middle IF positions, that would explain why nobody was willing to take a chance on him even with his good bat. I've heard he's decent at 2B, but he's definitely not a SS.

    Jake Fox: .319/.337/.538/.875. That's an ugly IsoD. Tyler Colvin: .322/.361/.522/.883

    Kitt Kopach is out for the year with shoulder surgery.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Actually that is Garrett's son.

    Also banned on inbound flights (those returning to STL). AM590 is saying some players are already complaining about these new policies. Whatever. Here's hoping the Cards keep losing. Apparently these players are idiots.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    I heard he was working on a few things in his first start (especially slider location) and that partially hurt him in that game. I'm hoping he can hit 5 innings today and not have the command lapses he had at Iowa.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Same way the Lester move makes the Red Sox look smart. :roll:
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Cardinals have banned alcohol from their clubhouse.
