Isn't he pretty good?
In the month of May he has struck out 11 to 2 walks.
pretty easy to do
considering he’s pretty freaking awesome

yeah, almost got him with another great throw

This is a bad move Tony
Uhh.. Gotta stick with K-Mac.. Forget the matchups.

villone in -- sleepy gets franklin.
Actually, 2 franklins, in a big frosty mug. That better get me through the inning…
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
is villone better against righties than mcclellan is against lefties? because the dodger lineup goes back and forth each batter.
Well,
Torre is up one pitching change on Tony. Tony is simply catching up.
classic
“pigeons could land on his shoulders, he held the ball for so long…”
I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.
should have left in KMac
this is going to get really ugly, really quickly

It's 5:00 somewhere...
but not here, so would someone please have a couple of Franklins for me, and maybe a hot or two as well.
on sunday of a holiday weekend
you can have a franklin at 3:48 PM, imo.

Unfortunate for you

so, why do Cardinal players always get
screwed out of Gold Gloves?
Albert just showed us again why he’s the best 1st basemen in the game, yet he only has one Gold Glove.

Seems like although Cardinal players always have consistently great years
There is always some player elsewhere who plays their position and freakishly hits 50 home runs for one season.

Because it's tough to surplant the previous winner

Parisi
and nice D made a short half-inning out of that.
If the season ended today
Molina, Pujols, Izturis, Glaus, and Ankiel would all be potential gold glove winners.

I have to go with the one
where Steiner is talking about how everyone assumes that since he covers boxing he’s always up for a fight. The commercial ends with him decking the Syracuse Orange. Brilliant.

small consolation.
The guy behind the plate gets paid to GET IT RIGHT, not “get it consistently wrong”.
Plus, it was our 2 legit power threats who got their bats taken out of their hands.
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
I can tolerate it, though.
M friend actually believes they should flip a coin before extra innings to decide who gets which half of the inning. I’d run somebody in Major League Baseball down if they made a change like that.

I'm laying off Duncan today.
He hit a walk-off HR for me in The Show last night.

He can!
The HR came off of Brian Fuentes.

And truthfully...
I don’t even like using him in The Show. I had Ludwick in LF, Duncan was a 9th inning PH.
by mynameistyler on May 25, 2008 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah, that one
should tie him up with fred lewis.
The guy just screws up so dramatically when he screws up… if skip had been in LF, and got a bad jump/dove/bounced out of glove like he did last night, instead of looking lost and not catching the ball, you wouldn’t be so condescending.

Pop fly to shallow left and he didn't see or get close to it
And it dropped.
Funny how balls always drop against him, only 5 errors in the last two years though!
my vote is for phil cuzzi
and the guys who handle the lights in dodger stadium, taking the bat out of our 2-3-4-5 guys two innings in a row.
But Duncan should have caught that ball, that is for sure.
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
not me
the man behind the plate is the goat.
he screwed Albert & LUD & he didn’t even have the decency to kiss them
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
screwed lud
albert screwed himself. swung at that exact same pitch 3 pitches before the knockout punch. if albert swung at it once, how can he expect the ump to not call it again. besides, i want that pitch to go our way too, so the more they complain about that call the less likely it is that we’ll get the same one.
now he did screw lud, but maybe he kissed him later?
remember
the NUMBERS tell you that he is above average in the field.

I can't see any reason to keep running Duncan out there
he’s not hitting for power, has no speed and terrible defense. I don’t care if he’s the coaches son or not.; Barton needs to see consistant playing time to get in a groove. It’s too bad that a player withh the upside of Barton has to sit because of a completely below average player like Duncan needs to find his swing.
I agree with you...
that Barton doesn’t need to sit on the bench in lieu of Duncan. Barton is a guy who needs to see frequent playing time right now to try and adjust. Even whilst adjusting, he’s going to be a bump over Duncan just by his speed on the bases and ability to reach balls in the field that frequently elude Duncan.
by mynameistyler on May 25, 2008 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, look at it this way...
Maybe we gave LA a bit of a spark and they can roll in and pound on the Cubbies a little bit.
Well Boys, and Girls,
that hurt. Can’t stand losing, when the game seems to be in hand.
Hopefully, the Dodgers take this as inspiration to Wrigley tomorrow and whoop some ass! Putting us in 1st all alone Tuesday morning.
I need to go sleep this off! ??!#
Well...
This game was anything but “in hand” today. It was constantly back and forth. As they say, whoever had the football at the end of the game was going to win this one. And that man with the football was Phil Cuzzi.
by mynameistyler on May 25, 2008 7:34 PM EDT up reply actions
i just have a tough time balming the ump
it was a well pitched and played game by both sides. you can’t argue balls and stikes in a game like that. It comes down to another defensive mistake by the biggest defensive liabilty on the team AGAIN!
of course, the only reason
we were even IN extra innings was because Schumaker missed a catchable fly ball earlier in the game.
I know, I know, nothing will ever change your mind, and C.D. did look really bad out there.
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
Why was Duncan in the Game?
All this situational micro-managing, but we are in extra innings on the road with Duncan playing left field. Don’t tell me he is a good outfielder. He isn’t.
by JustCatch the Ball on May 25, 2008 7:39 PM EDT reply actions
there was a point
when this team needed him. He played well and did what he could. That time has passed and it’s time to move on. He is not a major league left fielder and it shows. He has no business in that outfield and keeping talented players (Barton,Mather) on the bench or in AAA. When is enough going to be enough?
If anyone doesn't believe nepotism plays atleast a partial role in Duncan being on this team instead of in AAA
then you are wearing blinders.
boo cubs, hooray beer
Chris Duncan carried this team offensively in the first half of last year
and his power was one of the few things keeping us afloat at the end of 2006.
He has talent and he plays based on the potential of that talent returning. The problem is that he isn’t living up to it right now and his defense seemingly happens to hurt us at the worst possible time in games and becomes vastly magnified.
by Hardcore Legend on May 25, 2008 7:45 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
i still believe that if it was any other player in that same situation, and his last name wasn't Duncan
he’d be in AAA finding his power stroke, not wasting a spot on the ML roster.
boo cubs, hooray beer
i agree with you about 2006
but the fact is he was never a stellar outfielder and he’s a natural firstbaseman and even has shakey times in the field when he plays there. He’s contributed in the past but has no power or timely hitting right now. Why not send him down and bring Mather up and lets see what he can do and put Duncan in a situation where he can work on his power stroke and FIELDING in AAA. This team is better than expected and in the case of both Izzy and Duncan if your costing games with poor play time to step aside
Because is Mather rakes
we’ll never see Duncan again.

Trade chip made his 90 pitches tonight.
6 innings 2 hits (both singles) 1 ER 3BB 6K
And he hit solo home run that is the difference in the game right now. And he had 8 ground balls and 2 fly ball outs.
Trade chip did his job—Mr. Mozeliak, please do yours now. Don’t go all wobbly on me now. Mr Duncan does not want to work with this ugh, yicky, young man. He’s just soooooo different. Will you please trade him? I’m curious about what would happen if he actually got on a team that wanted him…....and since he’s one of my favorites, I’d like to see it soon. Thank you.

i can't believe phelps couldn't find
an AL DH job this year. I mean, the average AL DH is hitting .243/.332/.404, and phelps hit .306 /.399/.503 last year, and has an .820 career OPS.
And we signed him to a minor league deal.
I guess i just don’t understand what is going on with the DH this year… that should be the “easy” position to fill. Without doing math, going from .736 to .820 OPS over 650 PA’s has to be at least a couple of wins, from a player signed to a minor league deal…

So why did the Jays give up, looked like a promising upcoming AL DH, then like Jason Lane and a slew of DH or 1st base with fair to moderate power he doesnt get MLB ABs from anybody.
Its not like a lot of these guys struggled in the minors, with both Phelps and Lane slugging around .500 thru the minors. Lane is leading the Yankees AAA in power stats and probably deserves a shot somewhere in that mess if he could get on base more.
Some of these type hitters parlay one good season into several. Some don’t…Mike Laga syndrome?
Im not sure I understand the DH qualifying numbers anymore, period.
