I’d take Perez in that matchup easy.

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.

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.

Probably just another tease...
... but Mulder’s line in Springfield today:
5IP, 5H, 0R, 0BB, 3K

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.

Why did they call game 1 of the Springfield game after 7?
I thought maybe it would be rain, but they’re playing game 2. Anyone know what’s going on?

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

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.

Mather returns to Memphis
and promptly hits a homerun. Glad we gave him such a short shot here at the show.

shame we can't get some MLB teams
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.

Brian Barden has nothing left to prove at AAA
unless they feel that a) he needs more work at SS or b) they want to see how well his splitter works.
Otherwise, it’s time for free this guy.

oh, i totally agree
Give him a week or two at second, then bring him up. Seems like I’ve been saying this for over a year now, though, so i seriously doubt if it is going to happen.
