    The Weezer references were the best part of that Hot Sheet. :D
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    WRONG! :shock: (I'm shocked too.) 5 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 IBB, 0 K. Easily his second best start of the season between Daytona, Peoria and Boise (behind his 7/10 start with Boise - 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 5 K). Boise up 5-1 after 6. Tyler Colvin is 2 for 2 with an RBI.

    They're also sending Gavin Floyd. I'd be surprised to see both Veal and Gallagher go (especially Veal since it's his first pro season). Definitely expect EPatt and Moore...maybe Pie, but he has played in the DR the past few winters. I would have thought Dope would have been a perfect candidate after injuries sapped most of his season but I don't think he'll be healthy enough.
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    No I don't. I just wanted to see what Nathan thought of the two based only on their play.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Assuming Samardzija stays in baseball, would you still prefer Taylor. If so, why?
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    AFL rosters are supposed to be announced today. Haven't seen the seven players the Cubs are sending - so far, I've only seen the DBacks and Phillies' prospects who are going. Jaxx manager Pat Listach will be one of Mesa's managers.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    Pawelek!
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, I'm real excited about Huseby.

    Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Wade Miller (0-0, 4.50 ERA, overall: 1-0, 2.70 ERA) vs. LHP Derek Lee (5-10, 4.18 ERA) WT: LHP Chris Shaver (6-8, 2.95 ERA; overall: 6-8, 2.76 ERA) vs. LHP Steve Hammond (5-4 2.31 ERA) Daytona: LHP Donnie Veal (5-2, 1.70 ERA; overall: 10-5, 2.23 ERA) Peoria: RHP Joel Santo (2-3, 5.55 ERA; overall: 8-9, 5.41 ERA) @ RHP Jeff Kamrath (0-7, 4.31 ERA) Boise: RHP Mike Billek (2-3, 7.29 ERA; overall: 6-9, 7.00 ERA) @ James Heuser (4-3, 3.93 ERA) Mesa: LHP Taylor Paker (1-2, 2.47 ERA) Miller: 30 IP, 26/7, 1.13 WHIP Shaver: 140 IP, 119/40, 1.31 WHIP Veal: 137.1 IP, 146/73, 1.14 WHIP Santo: 116.1 IP, 69/68, 1.61 WHIP Billek: 99 IP, 56/34, 1.67 WHIP Parker: 43.2 IP, 28/9, 1.17 WHIP

    I'd definitely have Pawelek one spot higher. Petrick and Huseby higher (in the top 10 each). Dylan Johnston lower. I like Justin Berg and Mark Holliman a bit, I'd try to include them in the back end of the top 25. Wouldn't know how or where to rank Larry Suarez.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mesa wins 8-1. Great game for Carrillo - 4 shutout with 7 Ks. Cedric Bennett also chipped in with 3 Ks in 2 innings.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    I agree. Not getting out is waaaay lame. Yeah man. Every fantasy league I've ever played in has obp as a stat. Oh wait, no league I've ever played in has that as a stat. Never mind. A bunch nerds like the fantasy geeks you talked about use computers to research crap like medicine, science, and technology. I don't have a lot of use for that stuff. If I get constant headaches, I'm not gonna go get a "CT Scan." If I have horrible vision, I'm not going to get "laser surgery." Basically, everything that I need to know, I learned when I was 6. Everything else is frivolous gobbily-[expletive] that can't in any way educate me further on a subject I'm interested or teach me anything of value that would help me along in life. Critical thinking is almost as lame as not getting out in baseball. Almost. Come on, wolf. You know that that's way out of line. I want to reiterate Cuse's post, there has been a lot of border-line stuff. This is a nice, interesting thread. Please stick to the rules, folks.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/gamelog?statsId=6014&year=2005 He was down at .226/.301/.428 on May 26th and .234/.308/.443 on May 28th, before using a 9 for 13 streak to raise his season line to .267/.333/.506 by the end of the month.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Now 6 Ks for Marco: 3 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 6 K. The starting pitcher for the Rangers threw 5 wild pitches in 2 innings, their reliever has thrown 2 in 4 innings.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    No clue. I know craig was asking about him, he definitely isn't getting the hype in terms of stuff or age that Bernard, Ceda, Dolis, and Hernandez are getting, but I haven't seen anything about him.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mesa's now up 8-1 in the middle of the 6th. Marco Carrillo has struck out 5 in 2 shutout innings. :shock: Drew Rundle is 0 for 1 with 2 HBPs. Cliff Andersen is 1 for 3 with an RBI single and a strikeout.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nope, imagination. Then Huseby struck out everyone. As far as I'm concerned he was hitting 142 with his fastball. And has a 100 mph outlaw curve. :D Yeah, I'm following by boxscore.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, he started out real slow last year too (he was hitting around .230 in the end of May, if I recall correctly) but in 2004, he was strong pretty much all season.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mesa is up 3-1 in the bottom of the 4th. No strikeouts is certainly disappointing. Chris Huseby's night is over, his final line: 3 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 0 K. Marco Carrillo is now in and has thrown a shutout inning.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Huseby gave up a run in the second inning on a leadoff single, a steal and two groundouts. 2 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 BB. Mesa scored a run in the bottom of the 2nd, they're up 3-1 after 2. And they haven't gotten a hit yet.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mesa up 2-0 after 1. Heredia and Samson walked, Rundle was HBP and then Heredia and Samson scored on wild pitches.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mesa is coming up in the bottom of the first in a scoreless game. Huseby: 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 0 K.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    They were talking about Bynum on WGN radio. Yuck. . Sounds about right, he's rehabbing with Iowa.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Are you trying to imply I don't watch games? My guess is I've watched as many games as the majority of people on this forum this year. Errr...no. What I said is my general opinion on the usage of stats to solely make a decision. i.e. Batter A is 3-6 against picher A but is batting .250 for the year. Batter B is hitting 1-6 against Pitcher A but is hitting .320 for the year. Lets play Batter A due to his awesome stats against Pitcher A. Here, you're picking one of two different stats to work from. I'd mroe than likely go with Batter B (depending on how many plate appearances each has had this season) because he's a better hitter over the course of the season. I doubt too many would pick Batter A here.
