it's like you said
Is the bullpen that bad? Or is it because we keep going to them with 1-2 run leagues early in the game.

err, make that iz2 will single duncan in…
ok posted this in overflow one
but isnt a gm interview pointless. its not liek hes gonna say well we are gonna do this and have inquired on this guy.. they usually say the same things as u all predicted..its up there with the pointless coach interviews
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
It's just PR
Besides. Mo does some things in his interviews. At least a lot more than Walt ever did.
It makes me feel better to hear him.
That’s no joke. It is good just to know he is alive and paying attention. He is going to have to find lots of different ways to say “we ain’t doing squat” but just hearing him squeal a little makes me feel better.
i'd seriously rather hear him say
“i ain’t doing shit! and you can’t make me!?

He’s overly aggressive, he runs people into outs in too many important situations

was that last play a mistake? yes, but in important situations you’re never going to win if your standing over there scared.

that was a very awkward slide by DUNK
he was caught in between running him over or sliding, so he tried to do both & he was still out
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Sort of like
The Sunday game in Boston (the crazy one) where Dunc bowled over Varitek trying to score in extra innings. Didn’t even try to slide that time.
it was a bad decision
to have IZ2 batting lefty there. Should have had a PH for him. Has he hit more than one or two balls deep enough to get a sac fly from the left side all year?
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
another bad decision
ton try to score on that fly ball. cd just ain’t that fast
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
awful play
duncan has no speed, it’s a close game and werth has a good arm. so what was the point of that?
We woulda needed a Kennedy single
for Dunc to score. I honestly don’t have that big a problem with it.

Is he officially the closer again?
Since he’s been back, I think he’s thrown enough effective innings to be pretty damn close to being declared ‘fixed’

which is why he should get the ninth tonight.

couldn't Really hit?
We didn’t really hit. But we did go against Hamels. And I don’t blame the secert weapon for sending Duncan with a 2-0 league.
Anyway. We shut out the phillies. Starting Pitching was good.
AND THAT'S A WINNER!!!!
damn that was too close for comfort

Depends on how and where you live. In remote villiages it's very cheap. Bangkok, where I am, is not at all cheap. but it's a hell of a lot of fun!

Nick Stavinoha hit 2 HR's today
Who was calling him an OF version of Miles due to his lack of pop? :P
boo cubs, hooray beer
Um
I was calling him Big Miles. But not because of his lack of pop. but because he looks like a big Miles.
I know that
but someone called him the Miles of the OF due to his inability to hit for power (which, btw, he has 12 hr’s for memphis this year and a .900+ OPS)

I think it's because
he looks like a Giant Miles

his OF range
is a liability. his bat is solid, but is hard to forsee in our lineup where he’d be in common place with a few others

I agree with that
I think he’ll be dealt at the deadline , he’s tearing up Memphis, but we have no room for him, he’s still young enough to have trade value though.
boo cubs, hooray beer
oh for sure
he’s a good kid with a productive at bat. his wheels/glove isn’t the best.
so what do you do? put him in a smaller ball park where it’ll inflate his bats and take the liability off his wheels.
that’s 5-8teams right there

It's unfortunate that neither Stav nor Mather can seem to translate their success to the majors.
Granted, very small sample sizes; they both need longer looks.
agreed
numbers translating shouldn’t even be a factor during any discussion on those two.

CC much like Johan Santana
won’t have it easy in the NL. Harden will as well. The NL isn’t as bad as the media likes to let on.
Damn this game went quick
Usually when I get home from work the games are only in the 6th or 7th inning. Not tonight. But Wow shutting down this Phillies offense at home is quite a feat!!
See here's the crux that the Brewers are in..
CC would have to go 9 innings to really help the Brewers, because they still rely on a BP at the end of the game and well..
that’s been their true weakness

Well
He’s at 91 pitches in the 6th inning, so I doubt he’s going 9 tonight
By the way, are the Brewers now the fattest team in MLB? Fielder and Sabathia on the same team? They probably have to sit on opposite sides of the team plane

And just think if they had chosen to re-up Carlos Lee...
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
Nix now has lined and grounded into double play
in his 2 chances with runners at least on 2nd and 3rd with no one out
For those of you that couldn't watch the Brewers game
it should be tied. Spillbourghs should have scored on a Triple by Yorvit but he either got a massive cramp, broke a rib or tore his oblique rounding second and had to hobble into 3rd base. He would have scored easily.

He was throwing something
81 mph and it broke down and in to RH batters and down and away to LH batters. Not sure exactly what it was (maybe a lazy slider?).
Anyways, he must have been tipping it because as of the 4th inning, he did not get 1 single swing and miss with it.

Interesting tidbit on mid-season acquisitions
a friend forwarded me this afternoon from a Cubs blog.
Only 2 starting pitchers ever acquired mid season have World Series Victories. Some Yankees pitcher in 1977 and – you guessed it – Dreamweaver.
2 hours after he forwarded this to me, we found out the Cubs had gotten Harden. Hah.
Harden at Wrigley
Just wondering if Harden gives up a lot of fly balls? I haven’t seen him alot so I’m not sure. But it will be quite a change piching in the spacious park in Oakland to much more hitter friendly Wrigley. Although the way the Cubs are scoring at home this year it probably won’t even matter.
