San Diego Padres at St. Louis Cardinals, Jul 17, 2008 8:15 PM EDT

| peavy | lohse |
| 7-5, 2.47 | 11-2, 3.39 |
somehow it has escaped everyone's notice that nick stavinoha, the lone st louis farmhand in last night's triple A all-star game, launched a 9th-inning comeback for the PCL stars. with his team down 2-0, he led off with a single against blaine neal (an olympic team pitcher) and came around to score the first of 6 PCL runs in the inning. milwaukee prospect luis pena pert near blew it in the bottom of the 9th, giving up 3 runs but hanging on to close out a 6-5 PCL win. way to go, nick.
jake peavy is one of only 3 pitchers who has a cumulative ERA under 3.00 over the last 5 years, ie since the beginning of 2004 (minimum 50 starts). the other two are roger clemens and johan santana. chris carpenter ranks 4th on that list, with a 3.15 overall ERA; smoltz, sheets, harden, halladay, zambrano, and webb round out the top 10.
if he wins his next 2 decisions, lohse will have 10 Ws in a row. anybody know the last st louis pitcher to achieve that? (i don't know the answer . . . . )

For those with Extra Innings from InDemand
tonight, for some reason, we get the home and away feeds of all games (just like DirectTV) except the Cardinals game.

hates Padres broadcasts for some reason. their home broadcasts are rarely ever shown. it also doesn’t show the A’s home broadcasts much, either.
I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.

looking at the rest of the July schedule, it looks like InDemand is going to continue to offer “dual feeds” for the rest of the year whenever there are free channels. good news for us cable chumps.

Gibby won 12 straight games
from June 2, 1968 to July 30, 1968.
I’m not checking anyone else. :D

Ok, I lied

Gibby won 10 straight from May 23, 1970 to July 5, 1970.

And 11 straight

Tudor, 1985.
Not checking. Just guessing.
by Youneverknow on Jul 17, 2008 7:03 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I think
the question allows for non-decisions along the way, and Tudor did win 11 straight decisions - his last 11 of the year - in 1985. He went from 10-8 to 21-8.

Oh, well...if that is the case
then I’d say Carpenter in 2005 winning 13 straight without a loss.
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 17, 2008 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Carp won 8 straight
in 2005, then took a no-decision pitching 8 innings in a game we won 5-3 on a 9th inning Eckstein grand slam…then won his next 2 starts.
Then he took another no decision, pitching 8 innings in a game we won 5-4 on a 5 run 9th inning. He then won his next 4 starts.
So, if he could have gone 1 more inning in each of those 2 games, he have won 16 straight.

I'm fine with that.....
I’ve already seen the whining about Duncan/Lud and Miles in the other thread. Doubt any of those people looked up each batters’ success against Peavy. Doubt any of those people know if Luddy maybe wasn’t feeling great. I’m sure the ASG for a 1st timer, can be exhausting. Who knows. I know that TLR is right more than he is wrong when he does stuff like this though. And Duncan is hot. Heck, might even be show casing him some.
by SoonerfanTU on Jul 17, 2008 7:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Miles.....
Hits Peavy pretty well. 3-10, and obp of nearly .400.
Neither Luddy or Duncan have many AB’s against him, but Duncan has slightly better numbers. Probably just playing the odds. I don’t know the lefty/righty split for Peavy.

I can see the lineup criticism is a pet peeve of yours, you’ve made the negative comments about other’s opinions on the matter 6 out of 7 times a week but try not to be so smug about it.

It's hard not too.....
When all you do is take digs at TLR. You may not agree with everything he does, but he a) has a reason, and b) has been pretty darn good at winning games. If you feel the need to suggest TLR is incompetent every day when the lineups come out, I’m probably going to feel the need to call you on it. Not like I’m calling you an idiot. I just said it gets old.

Cards that hit Peavy well (.750+ OPS) are:
Glaus 1.334
Pujols 1.241
Miles 1.064
Duncan .750
The first three have double digit at bats against Peavy, Duncan has had success in only 4 at bats.
Padres that hit Lohse well are:
Khalil Greene 1.000
Jake Peavy 1.000
Jody Gerut .967
Brian Giles .804
Only Gerut has more than 7 at bats vs. Lohse out of those four people, at 25.

Phillies acquire Joe Blanton
The Phillies have reached an agreement with the Oakland Athletics to acquire right-handed pitcher Joe Blanton. Blanton is 5-12 this season after going 14-10 with a 3.95 ERA last season.
The Athletics get second baseman Adrian Cardenas, pitcher Josh Outman and outfielder Matthew Spencer, all minor leaguers.

By the lack of comments
You guys are unimpressed as I am. The only thing Blanton is leading the league in is losses
by FlimtotheFlam on Jul 17, 2008 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Most intriguing thing to me
Maybe the A’s will let Outman go back to his old delivery. It was something to behold.

Ellis
while having a down year still has been a much better hitter than Kennedy and he’s definitely better defensively. He’s also a year and a half younger than Kennedy. It’s not a huge upgrade, but he is definitely better than both Miles and Kennedy.
I’m not advocating for him. In fact, I’m really starting to warm to the idea of trading for Grudzielanek, but Ellis is most definitely better than Adam Kennedy.
by chuckb on Jul 17, 2008 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he's got a lot more power
and he hits RH. He’d be worth about 2-3 wins over kennedy offensively in a season, if both hit like his career average, and 4 or 5 if AK hits like he did last year (and through May of this year) and we wouldn’t lose much in terms of defense. Platooned with AK he could be worth even more.

We probably couldn't do as well for Lohse
Blanton isn’t a FA till after 2010. Lohse would be a rental.

It's all a matter of durability
Even though this is only his second season as a starting pitcher, he can give you reliable innings as a #5 guy. If Joe Blanton netted the returns he did, imagine what Looper could get.

he may be a better pitcher than blanton
right now, but I didn’t realize blanton was signed for 2 more years, which makes blanton more valuable (unless he’s hurt).
Still, he should be on the market. I can’t believe the Phillies traded Cardenas for Blanton, PLUS 2 other guys.

baseball and music
I’m a huge fan of the ancient punk/metal/experimental band The Melvins. I just found a quote from the main man, King Buzzo: “I pretty much love baseball and could care less about watching all other sports. Sabermetrics changed my outlook on baseball and made me love it even more. It’s pretty much right on as far as I can tell.”

I don't disagree
but I don’t think his defense would make him that much less valuable than Izturis, even if in a platoon when you factor in how much better he is offensively.
The problem is, you can’t platoon these two as they both hit LHP. I mean, Barden is an improvement over Izturis vs RHP but not a world beater.

the problem is
we’ve got so many of these utility guys who do a little of this and are terrible at that, and we’re trying to mix-and-match to make it work. We’ve got 4-5 guys right now doing the work of two. It would be nice to have a legitimate 2B and SS as starters.

he’s all the way up to low 80’s in season OPS+ now, which is remarkable considering how slow he started. it would be huge if he kept it up 2 more months (or 3!)

When your pitches have as much as movement as Peavy's do
that will happen.

I assume it's still from his blood clot from earlier this season
Could be wrong though

Thats right.
Hadn’t thought about him in so long.

me neither
i just remember Dave & Tony saying one of the reasons he got in trouble here was because his pitches had to much “natural movement” to them

I've always liked Kip Wells
I didn’t like him Pitching. But I’ve always liked him.

The first one to Glaus was just a hanging slider or curve or somethin like that
The one to Ank was a dead fastball over the heart that missed his target by at least a foot, and the second one to Glaus looked like a 2-seamer that broke over the heart. Just three big mistakes

i doubt he resigns
cause of boras, if he doesnt i hope he tanks ala weava tired of seeign the birds help guys fix stuff and then they go get a ton of cash elsewhere..Womack,Weava,Etc…Womack wasnt fixed but given a chance
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2

lohse
was publicly upset at Boras about not being signed until spring training was almost over.

$$$
that boras will command will get him ove rthat and someone will sign barring a complete collapse..Yanks, somebody will overpay..Mariners are good at that too..

yea, that's his mo
but i just don’t get it. you are an $11M pitcher on a winning/competitive team or a $12M pitcher on a losing team. for an agent, his cut is just about the money. for the player its more a quality of life issue. don’t understand why at that level of compensation, a couple million seems inadequate to pay me to lose so often.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!

Any other batter
and that’s a homerun
Iz2 has no power

I think anything hit to the warning track
By Iz2 should count as a HR.

so who comes back first waino or carp?
by redbirddude on Jul 17, 2008 9:37 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Carp is pitching for Springfield on Sunday
Wagonmaker could start rehab in a week or so. But I doubt WW will need more than 1 game in the Minors.
