I want me some Chris Perez

And the real answer is Franklin...
Somehow INTERIM closer is a clearly defined role…

yessir
What better way to break in your future closer than vs ryan howard in a one run game?

and i'm totally not being sarcastic
i really want to see that matchup.

Given Howard's proclivity towards striking out
I’d take Perez in that matchup easy.

a veracious statement
(I know)
"Give a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a night. Set him on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life."
NOW I have a bad feeling
Wrong guy taking the mound IMO pitching back to back days when Perez is fully rested.

Why, did Franklin pit in last nights “game”
40th anniversary of Gibson's 1.12 ERA, Think he could pitch in the bullpen now?
Annnnd I stand corrected...

i'll take it
just more evidence that “closer” is massively overrated as a “position”.

“Franklin saves” is the most common result ... ground out as I speak

Walt wil trade him with in a matter of weeks. Griffey is wanting to go to the Rays.
why is Griffey an all-star starter?

What a .762 OPS with awful defense doesn't make an All-Star?
"Regression to the mean is so much more fun to watch when it’s a Cub who is regressing." SleepyCA
OK, so Carlos Lee ISN'T the worst OF
in the running for the all-star game…
"the hardest decision to make is to do nothing; there is a terrible temptation to interfere." -gen patton
Um, because the fans want to see him? Because some folks (myself included) worship
the ground he walks on? He is most certainly not having an all star season, but I’d rather see his smiling face in the outfield at the all star game than anyone else. The manager can take care to add the true all star season players…..fan votes are popularity contests.
She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.
I love the kid but....
The winner of the All-star game gets homefield in the World Series. So each league should be field thier best players. Not the fan favorites.
If it didn’t count I wouldn’t have anything against just showing off the fan favorites.
Good game today. Pleasant to see it. More Free Bs. A couple of framed Busch stadium posters and some baseball books. First responder takes them.

White Sox Announcers
wow, it never ceases to amaze me how a broadcast could have announcers who were such overwhelming homers. Hawk Harrelson is just waaay too obvious about the fact that he is a huge Sox fan. After a questionable call on Carlos Quentin, he starts screaming in the mic “This is pure bull! Pure bull!!!”
Hilarious.

minor leaguers
usually play two 7-inning games for doubleheaders

Oh

Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country

Track 'em Tigers - An SB Nation Blog for Auburn Tigers fans
Yeah, it's odd
Not sure why they do it that way. You would think professionals would be able to handle those extra four innings…Speaking of handling innings, Clement is following up on Mulder’s fine work,
3 IP, no hits, 3Ks, no walks
by 10worldchamps on Jun 14, 2008 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions
I think the reasoning is
the pitchers. That is, the major league club does not want to see future arms over-taxed. Not necessarily the double-header itself, maybe, but what it might do to the following days’ schedule.
You are right that it certainly would not bother or affect the position players any, and they would probably love it.
7-inning doubleheaders
have been in place in the minor leagues for decades, long before anyone ever heard the term “pitch counts.” I want to say the first game is 7 innings, the second game the full 9, but I could be wrong. Right or wrong, for whatever reason, they have been around for ages.

to send some pitchers with AAA ERA’s over 10 against us at the MLB level…

but I agree, I wish Mather got some more at bats before we sent him down. FWIW Barden and Stavinoha also jacked dongs tonight.
