Flores having a mechanically issue

by Evilfrog on Jul 28, 2008 8:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i heard that. that was the only nugget i heard as al took up half the time trying to analyze flores problems. why waste mo’s time on that?

Please no

(on the closer role, not on him getting back in ten days)

Yeah

I think that’s just Mo talking. But if he thinks he can blow off the Fuentes/Sherrill/Rhodes/Ohman shopping and stick Wainwright in there, he’s more naive than I thought.

by Red in Chicago on Jul 28, 2008 8:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He is not

naive. He is thrifty.

I think it's more than mechanical

It begins with his foot and ends with his head.

by Red in Chicago on Jul 28, 2008 8:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

right

it occurs when he throws the ball

Q: “Mo, what was the flaw that you found.”

A: “He had a ball in his hand and he was on a mound. We need to remove that ball and take him off the mound.”

Who was the last Cardinals RF to hit 30+ HRs in a single season?

That’s the trivia question on the ATL telecast

I’m thinking Brian Jordan, since he works for SportSouth, anyone else with a guess?

Jordan never hit 30

The answer turned out to be Jack Clark in 1987

Jon Sciambi just pointed out that he played RF in one game in 1987

Cheap

I’m gonna try to find out a real answer.

by liam on Jul 28, 2008 8:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

As far as I can tell

it’s Musial in 1949.

Heh I've been looking as well

that answer is so wrong

Albert played 39 games in RF in ‘01 and 1 in ‘02

I am pretty sure he hit over 30 both years

* sarcasm might be involved in this comment

by mattyfrommo on Jul 28, 2008 8:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Here's what I found after a quick look...

Player – Total (Games in RF) – Year
Pujols – 37 (39) – 2001
Pujols – 34 (1) – 2002
Clark – 35 (1) – 1987
Musial – a bunch of times

And, no, Brian Jordan never hit 30+ in a season for any team (career high = 25 in ‘98 and ‘01).

There could be a couple more, but either way, giving Clark as the answer is lame.

by WastedTalent on Jul 28, 2008 9:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

lame, indeed. I’m sticking with ‘49 Musial.

by liam on Jul 28, 2008 9:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I have to go with Jordan too

That non-tag at first

was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in a baseball game.

by StanTheManFan on Jul 28, 2008 8:24 PM EDT   0 recs

He said

nary an inning after Yadier Molina circled the bases with the ball in play…

by liam on Jul 28, 2008 8:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i bet MO would be shocked at what he could get

if Lohse was put on the market

why not at least give it a whirl?

by themanthemyth on Jul 28, 2008 8:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

bet he has been approached

but his negative is they would have to work with boras if they took him. ultimate rental situation

by sportsman on Jul 28, 2008 8:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

naw

the best he was this year was 5-1.

by Evilfrog on Jul 28, 2008 8:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

ah, thanks...

probably just confusing him with Lohse

Anyone care to speculate on the haul we'd rake in for:

Kennedy, Flores, Izzy and Izzy2

on mlbtraderumors.com

it says that atlanta GM Frank Wren has deals on the table right now for Texeira, he’s just trying to find the best one. If he finds it in the next 20-something hours, i think we will sweep….

no

Im going to go 8 though. Would be nice for him to get his second though.

by Evilfrog on Jul 28, 2008 8:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He's at 55 pitches

So, he’d have to be more efficient in the next five innings than the first four, which is possible. If he’s at 110 through 8 IP, I believe TLR will pull him.

by bgh on Jul 28, 2008 8:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

just don't bring in Flores

Their best guys are on the DL

and they are about to trade Texeira. It would be kind of a downer, I imagine.

doesn’t quit talking about Wainwright in the pen

isn’t the manager, though….

While you're at it,

tear off the P-D reporters’ fingers so they quit penning articles mentioning the possibility.

Wait, what if it’s all a ruse to make us seem less desperate for a closer…

by bgh on Jul 28, 2008 8:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It's pretty good

It fooled some of us. On average, we’re all smarter than the G.M.s, therefore it may work.

by Red in Chicago on Jul 28, 2008 8:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i think mozailak was posing by mentioning wainwright as closer. i think that was part of a trade negotiation. it is really a good marketing move as waino has proven his worth in that role.
