October 5, 2008 playoff games open thread

Dammit. My local paper -- the Houston Comical -- is so shitty. It had hidden the start time of today's Phils-Brewers game so I'm an hour or so behind schedule. Here's the thread. We could finish off each series today.

BTW, have I mentioned recently

that Lohse’s #1 comp at age 28 was Jeff Suppan? Lohse’ll be 30 in December. His contract runs from his age-30 season through 33. I know some believe Lohse will get better in those years than he was this year but Suppan didn’t. Actually, he was better in his age-30 season, but worse in the next 3. This year he’s been terrible. If Lohse pitches like Suppan and there’s only 1 terrible season from Lohse, the contract may be worth it but I fear what we’re seeing from Suppan today is what we’ll see from Lohse in the playoffs in a couple of years.

Lohse v. Suppan 3 years ago

Yikes. Pretty damn close on both K% and looking at 2008 Lohse and 2005 Suppan. At least it looks like Lohse’s BB/9 is moving in the right direction.

K and BB Rates:
Lohse 2008 K: 14.18
Lohse 2008 BB: 5.84

Suppan 2005 K: 13.67
Suppan 2005 BB: 7.55

Suppan’s BB% started moving upwards after 2005, so the comp, unfortunately, could be right on. Let’s just hope that by the end of the contract, Lohse is the #5 guy and doesn’t need to start a playoff game 4.

I think it's just a good measure of the club's faith in Carp's health that they think they need Lohse.

I assume Carp is done.

yes I agree

the Carp injury changed the equation quite a bit.

by chuckb on Oct 5, 2008 5:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

A difference

is that Lohse has generally been viewed as underperforming prior to this year, while Suppan was thought, rightly or wrongly, to be getting pretty much all he could out of his limited talents. I don’t have a strong feeling about that, but if it’s true, then we might be better off with the guy we kept than with the one we didn’t.

by StanTheManFan on Oct 5, 2008 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's true that,

even years ago suppan never had the velocity or the swinging strike% that Lohse has now. Stuff wise they do not compare very well. Results wise they may, but although I hated this contract at first, I feel myself warming on it.

It's a problem we face.

I grew up there. In fact, I think the Braves are pretty much the team of the whole state, not only half of it as the map shows. And that Map DOES who the Cards fans as having all of Arkansas.

It was until this past off season

it was crowned and had horrible drainage. Bossard ripped the entire thing up and rebuilt it with a top of the line drainage system.

And his work goes much further than US Cellular, Wrigley and Fenway……he’s worked for the Royal Saudi Family to build a soccer field. Here’s a great article about him and the reconstruction at Wrigley, just follow the link.

This is similar to what Carp did in the first inning against San Diego in 2006. The Angels are probably going to have a hard time scoring the rest of the game.

In all fairness, that should have been Hunter's ball

why he quit on it, I have no idea. But, I will say that Kendrick should go for that ball until he’s called off, which it sorta looked like he was called off, but I don’t think he was. I think he wanted Hunter to take it and Hunter gave up on it.

Kendrick screwed up, but Hunter screwed up more since that’s his ball to catch and he quit assuming Kendrick would make the catch which would have been a difficult catch to make in the first place.

Lot’s of screwing up on that play.

he quit on the ball without being told to. You go for the ball until told ‘I got it’.

Plus, he’s a fucking waste of carbon at the plate.

I'm not arguing who's the better player or that Kendrick hasn't performed horribly

Because he absolutely has. But that is Hunter’s ball. Yes, Kendrick is supposed to keep going until called off which he wasn’t, but it’s still Hunter’s ball and he took the play off. The way I see it, Hunter is more to blame because it was actually his ball to catch. Kendrick’s supposed to go in case Hunter can’t get to it, but Hunter could have gotten to it but he just quit.

Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.

i wish people would mention

that pujols had 8 HR in SEP when Howard’s “11 HR in Sep” is brought up. 3 more HR in a month does not an MVP make. That, and the difference between Howard’s OPS for SEP and albert’s is half of the difference between albert and howard for the year. Seriously, a 190 OPS+ vs a 123 OPS+.

Also, Howard’s .793 OPS against the mets should be discussed. He could have done a lot more to make the Mets collapse happen a lot earlier. Howard had 12 HR in 35 games against ATL and WSN this year, which is great, but if albert played in PHI park and played those teams that many times he’d have probably 60 HR.

I'm not sure how this all got past me

but I was just looking up Kevin Youklis on Baseball-Reference to see where he was born. Surprisingly, it was in a metropolitan area, but then again it’s Cincinnati so I see where he gets all of his red neck qualities.

Ok, now I take B-R to be a pretty dry website. It’s all stats right? Well, when I read his bio area I see this:

Kevin Youkilis
Kevin E. Youkilis (Greek God of Walks)

Bats Right, Throws Right
Height 6’ 1", Weight 220 lb.
School University of Cincinnati


Debut May 15, 2004

It actually says “Greek God of Walks” next to his name. I found that to be interesting. Oh, and 220 pounds? Right.

For shortening this game just that much.

I should mention that both Aybars in postseason were tagged by the pitcher today.

it's funny

before this series, I thought kendrick was a good hitter. But I don’t see many angels games, just the numbers.

He probably still is a good hitter, and just looks completely frigging lost right now, but who knows… from a strategic standpoint, though, i absolutely despise bunting on the first pitch a guy like papelbon throws.

I wish there was a place

to find out a hitter’s batting avg. on bunt attempts. I’d be willing to bet that, for those attempting to bunt for a hit, it’s probably around .250. I wonder why anyone ever does it. Since Brett Butler, and except for Willy Taveras, very few are ever successful.

Tavarez was a nutcase

he damned near broke his pitching hand after giving up a homer. He tried to karate kick someone when he pitched for the Marlins. He threw his cap into the stands when he was caught w/ pine tar on it. He was crazy.

He’s still crazy. I’ve heard nothing different from Atlanta.
