Quick question

It’s the 7th inning and we’ve got Mather and Skip on the bench, why is Duncan in LF?

Hey, guys we're undefeated and unscored upon since I moved to Thailand. You should take up a collection and pay my rent to keep me here!

Can't you live in Thailand on like 50 bucks a month?

I heard everything was ridiculously cheap there

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

Um

I was calling him Big Miles. But not because of his lack of pop. but because he looks like a big Miles.

by Evilfrog on Jul 8, 2008 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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

agreed

numbers translating shouldn’t even be a factor during any discussion on those two.

but he's giant miles

perhaps he can hit it out at a .320 clip!

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.

by KYCards on Jul 8, 2008 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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!!

by KYCards on Jul 8, 2008 9:48 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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

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

by cowcards on Jul 8, 2008 9:54 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

CC

Goes 6 innings. 5 Hs 2 ERs 5BBs 5Ks.

Does he normally walk that many?

by Evilfrog on Jul 8, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

its hard to say

some games he does, some games he does not.

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.
