Game 83 Open Thread -- June 29, 2008

PrintWell, today it's Looper v. Bannister as the Cards try to take the series from the Royals. As I've noted several times, the Cards have been very good in terms of winning series in which they've lost the first game. It's flukish, but it's something.
Also, here is where I'm going to say something derogatory about Braden Looper. 4 weeks ago to the day, I was pretty hard on Looper , going on and on about how horribly he was pitching. Now, for the entire month of June, he's 3-1 w/ a 2.67 ERA and a .638 OPS against. He's still not striking anyone out (15 in 33 IP) but the big difference is that he's only walked 4 batters this month. (knock, knock, knock on wood). I'm counting on the fact that my harsh, yet honest, words about him (as much as the reduction in his BB rate) did the trick.
So here goes -- Braden's not very good. His K/9 is too low and he's overpaid. Oh yeah, and he's been helped out by the Cards scoring 31 runs in his 5 starts this month. What else? He's hit 3 batters in his 5 June starts! Intolerable. And his OPS at the plate in June is a measly .819 (Damn! Can he play 2nd base? ... but I digress.) He's terrible. Now let's go get some runs and another quality start from Looper.

Since it appears to have worked yesterday
Anyone else get the feeling that we’ll see Mulder by the 3rd inning?

Hope not because that means Looper got rocked
but the reverse psych worked yesterday

yeah, I wonder if he just got a bad jump
the broadcasters were certainly slow to say ‘Ryan’s going.” And of course, they don’t replay the play from a booth’s eye view.
Also, does it freak anyone else out to have an opposing player named ‘Buck’?

I'm interested to see the "proper" glasses he's talking about

Is he talking about the flipdowns?
Considering those Oakleys are designed to blot out colors of the sun and not everything else it really shouldn’t matter…..not to mention you don’t have to flip them down in the first place.

They're...
...retarded and don’t work. They look like old boxy sunglasses with little tabs on the side. You whack the tab when the ball goes up, and then the lenses come down and smack you in the damn face and change what you see if you where contacts, therefore making the ball HARDER to see.

Hear him talk about those sunglasses one more time I’ll fucking flip. They don’t work any freaking differently!!! The flip down ones are harder to use!!! Oakleys are the best sunglasses you can buy!!! If you look directly into the sun in ANYTHING you won’t see fucking jack shit no matter what you where!!! God it pisses me off that he gets to announce baseball games when he doesn’t know a damn fucking thing that has happened since 1980.

chill out when Shannon realizes he has no idea what he’s talking about. He’s ranting about these damn sunglasses and ignoring everything else over the course of the inning. I’m paying good money for my TV, I should be able to watch the game and not get bombarded with his garbage.

I've used
glasses like he’s talking about and they are incredibly dark. In fact you can’t see anything with them down if you aren’t looking into the sun, which is why they flip. They are in fact designed for exactly that (catching a ball in the sun).
Ofcourse, they don’t help you any with glare the rest of the time, and you can probably make the argument (I suspect most palyers do) that the Oakley’s are better in general because they protect your eyes from the dailey sun exposure these players get. But Shannon is correct about the ball in the sun.

I've used them too
And honestly they didn’t help that much on a ball in the sun considering they change other things about the way you see. The regular Oakley shades filter out the sun pretty well and you can just wear them the whole time. Really, considering that Bannister gave up several hits after that it’s not the key issue in that inning, which is why it bothers me that he keeps blathering about it…I’m also of the opinion he’s never actually worn a pair of athletic Oakley sunglasses and is just thinking that b/c they wore flipdowns in his day that is what you should do.

Can't comment
on his reasons. The flipdowns worked better for me than Oakley’s and I went through numerous lens configurations (and a lot of money) trying to best them. It does change your vision some, I couldn’t have read an eye chart for 30 seconds after flipping them, but I had no trouble tracking the ball.
Absolutely agree that it isn’t as important as he’s making out… but neither are Oakley’s the end all – be all of sports eye-wear

Definitely not Joey's fault
I was sitting up in 403 and that ball was hooking towards right field off the bat. After it passed the infield, at some point, it moved about 15-20 feet towards left field all of a sudden. Strangest damned thing ever. I though Gathright had a chance at a sinking liner to right, then all of a sudden it’s an inside the park homer…for anyone but LaRue.
