Okay, preprogrammed thread. Don't make me look stupid again. There had better be an actual game going on.

Just got back from lunch
Is there a reason TLR pulled the Colonel after only 79 pitches and 6 IP with another game yet to play tonight? Was Col. struggling?
Mystified all of us
but we got a HR out of it, so hard to complain
by Andyfantastic on Jun 5, 2008 3:11 PM EDT up reply actions
no
he was rolling. Maybe he can come out of the bullpen tonight is my only explanation (that and maybe somehow Tony knew Albert was going to hit a homer)

Colonel was pitching great...
I have no idea why he took him out. TLR probably has a quick trigger because he left Wainer in too long couple games ago.
Please don't tell me Villone is coming out after just 3 batters

saving him for tonight
so he can do both games maybe

Does Tony know they have to play again tonight?

Pull Villone already?
Really Tony? I wonder if he is really counting on the game not being played tonight.

Tony just figures that if we win the first one it’s a series win, so who cares about the second…
I want a sweep

I want to see the kid
get another chance, but he is really not ready to be starting yet. I don’t like that we took him out of the bullpen at all. Parisi could easily be the next Brad Thompson that was super promising and now is sort of lost.
I don't think anyone would have ever used "super promising" with Brad Thompson
"Regression to the mean is so much more fun to watch when it’s a Cub who is regressing." SleepyCA
Except that half of their club is on the DL
It’ll be like pitching in AAA all over again for Parisi, or, at most, AAAA.
Remember, Zimmerman is on the DL as well as Nick Johnson, Austin Kearns, Ronnie Belliard and Paul Lo Duca. In terms of their ‘pen, Chad Cordero is also on the DL.
by bgh on Jun 5, 2008 3:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Is it out of the question that a reliever
could throw a couple outs and then throw some more later tonight? I mean how delicate are these little flowers?
Just called
“One of the top 5 bats in the draft” then went on to talk about how he will get a chance as a third baseman, but probably will end up at 1B. He can hit line drives and for a bit of power. Good average as well.
Also went on to say...
that he can already hit left handed pitching as well as right handed pitching (as a lefty). Good stuff!

the only thing better than one first baseman

We don't know yet
how athletic the kid is. Maybe he can stick at third. Rameriez for the Cubbies is no marathon runner either and he is just fine at third.
yeah
goold said in his blog that the cards were comfortable enough with his workout to draft him at thrid
"Sorry about him, he's dealing with being an inker. " - Chasing Amy
I bet they are going to get this kid on some kind of workout program
to shed some lbs. He might look totally different 2 years from now….let’s hope at least.

Anyone else feel like TLR is babying these starters to a point? Wants to make sure they get the wins?
by Pitchers Hit Eighth on Jun 5, 2008 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah
but I am fine with it. I think Tony is not all that comfortable with any of the starters except Wainwright (and look what happened there). When a starter has a lead and has done pretty well, I think he is right to get them out of there. Now, the Lohse thing two nights ago was clearly just trying to get Kyle the win. I don’t think he was babying Lohse and I think that Lohse, after Wainwright, is the pitcher that Tony trusts the most not to blow up.
don't disagree
but sooner or later these guys need a longer leash
May’s PotM has sure shown some things so far, why not let him go at least one more inning?
by Pitchers Hit Eighth on Jun 5, 2008 3:45 PM EDT up reply actions
The problem is tony has only two choices.
Blow up the starter and let him throw 130
OR
Take the starter out after 70
There are no options for those 60 pitches in between.
Why can't Tony let a reliever finish an inning
Its not like we might need one or two relief pitchers tonight or anything.

he only needs eight more, then he can retire. I see Tony picking his spots to get him the eight saves against lesser opponents and with three-run leads, then saying good-bye.

This draft is too weird
Is incredible. Soo many reaches.
Alonso selected at #7..over Smoak, when the Reds have Votto.
C Jason Castro going from late 1st rd. to #10 (to a team that doesn’t need a catcher)
Smoak falling from #3-5 to #11
Brewers draft a catcher at #16, when they have 2 prospects in Lucroy and Salome. They needed pitching.
David Cooper, who was an early supp. round talent going at #17.
Cashner/Perry/Fields from 19-21 (huge overdraft on relief pitchers)
Havens (who is overrated, BTW) going at #22, when he was supposed to be 29-30.
Allen Dykstra at #23—was supposed to be supp. to 2nd rd.
ANTHONY HEWITT!? at #24. Huge reach!
I think the Brewers last year gave a lot of teams the "don't let what other people think affect us" mentality strengthen a lot
Dunno if that’s good or bad, but the Brew-crew were largely roasted for popping the best bat in the whole draft and figuring out a position later. Seems that worked so far so teams are copy catting…
"Regression to the mean is so much more fun to watch when it’s a Cub who is regressing." SleepyCA

I think the Rockies will take Melville or Odorizzi. I don’t want Cole to go the Cardinals at all, but Friedrich would be wonderful.

They have been just about the best division in the N.L. the last few years.
We kept producing N.L. champions except for last year.
I think this is now the division St. Louis built. A lot of these young teams have been looking up to us and the Stros and the standard and now they are ready to compete.

I gotta say
I LOVE the Wallace pick, this kid is a good enough hitter to step into Palm Beach, or even Springfield, tomorrow, and start raking. He’s a bad body, but so was Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman, John Kruk, etc..
Now, if we can land Tim Melville at #39, i’d be ecstatic
