    I don't see this happening. It would require Mojo to leave his mom's basement at least twice.

    Not to mention that with Volstad out, we don't even have one bad starting pitcher at this point. well except Dempster...
  3. woodchip2153
    I do, only because I was there. The game is at 6:05, btw.

    Remember all the [expletive] they gave you back when you dared suggest that this could be a 100 loss team? I still don't think it is.
  5. woodchip2153
    Yes when that is a career low for the 10 year vet, and it was primarily driven by a career low in BABIP in one of the most pitcher friendly ballparks. And the 2nd year player put up numbers that are pretty much what his minor league career would have predicted.

    Can't we just throw to first base after every single and have LaHair knock them off the bag? Dunn would be the only guy he's have a problem with. Steve Stone said it was a clean play. :roll: Steve Stone is also a colossal prick, so that makes sense. According to him the collision was Dejesus's fault for sliding hard and late.

    Soriano's hot streak didn't last very long

    Didn't he do that to Duncan in the same game? IIRC it was May 2003 and Gonzalez hit a walk off home run. Maybe I'm combining my games though. I'm probably dumb for thinking this, but I think it would have been nice if they let Kerry pitch and throw one inning. Edit: I was wrong, this was the game Gonzalez won on a walk off, and Duncan didn't play and Vina didn't strike out. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200305100.shtml

    from bananas :hello:

    This will catch hell but...I'm glad he's recovered so quickly. Thought he'd be down for weeks if not more. so Cole Hamels hitting Harper had no effect on Harper? Which proves how stupid it was for Hamels to hit him. If it didn't effect Harper, it's only effect was to put a man on base (who eventually scored, iirc) and got him suspended causing him to lose money and his team to adjust their rotation. So by hitting Hamels he did nothing but hurt his team and himself, sounds pretty stupid to me.

    Not swing away, pull the bat back and slash at the pitch. In theory it's a nice concept, in practice it's a great way to get behind in the count. Let your best hitters hit. thanks for reading the entire post I did. But I responded to the part where you said he wanted him to swing away. maybe I didn't explain myself very well then, because I tried saying what you said in the next paragraph.

    I felt a little better about it, since Svuem said he wanted Castro to swing away after the infielders charged. I wasn't paying attention to the infielders before the first pitch since I wasn't expecting the bunt, but if the infielders were back I don't hate the bunt attempt, since a successful bunt could easily result in a hit. However before Castro even squared up to bunt on the second pitch, iirc, Berkman was at least 10 feet in front of the bag and ready to charge hard. With the corners in, a bunt makes no sense and I don't think having Castro square and then pull it back, like Sveum wanted, is that beneficial either. I didn't like the bunt with Mather either, since Berkman was again starting about 75 ft from home and charging hard, making a successful bunt almost impossible.
  16. woodchip2153
    the bunt with Mather was just as bad. They were playing 10 ft in on the grass and charging hard. Just dumb baseball.
  17. woodchip2153
    Well that makes a lot more sense. maybe if you weren't a sox fan and had communication skills, you wouldn't need kyle to hold your hand.

    Just got free tickets to the game from work! :yahoo: Mul21 and I will be sitting 2 rows behind the Cardinals on-deck circle. #notsohumblebrag

    Have a little respect. They were the first team to win an NCAA championship with an all-black roster. Well he does say that Williams might be competing with Webb for the starting spot, so it might not be terrible. But it could be terrible. That was a useful piece of analysis from me. Awesome. That's WSR quality

    Soto is a big concern, no? He just looks stupid at the plate this season seeing one pitch and grounding out. I mean he won't stay at a .152 average but he's also not going to hit above .220 from what I've seen so far this year. just yesterday Soto was a couple of feet from a 2 hr game. Soto will be fine. Will he be the Soto of two years ago? probably not. Is he a big concern? no. A month a season does not make, Soto will be an average offensive catcher, and he'll continue to be a better than average defensive catcher.
  21. woodchip2153
    so the doomsayers that were projecting 100 losses are now focusing their energy on Soto, I see.

    How did the Cubs acquire Burke? Was it in the Walker trade?
  25. woodchip2153
    Campana was called up to replace Dempster. Wells was called up to replace Byrd.
