Sorry for the late GT, everybody

Running a bit late. I believe Roseville Redbird was first in the other thread.

Why don't you just make like a tree, and get out of here?

this is exactly why pitcher 8th

is not a winning decision. the team that scores first wins a high percentage of the games. we already lost that one and now we don’t optimize a bases loaded situation because pinata can’t hit his way out of a pinata

really?

how did the position of the pitcher matter there?

If Miles had GIDP and ended the inning, it would have mattered, but we scored the same number of runs as we would have with the pitcher hitting 9th, except that with men on 1st and 3rd piniero probably would have bunted instead of K’ing.

Wow, skip!

he's pitching injured

Along with Corey patterson being on the team and Adam Dunn gone, that’s Dusty’s contribution to the 2008 reds.

Harang probably deserved the cy young a couple years ago, though.

OK...little stretch, but...

Everyone was chirping about not going out and getting a Will Clark (a low cost, possible high reward guy) at the trade deadline. Well, Clark came over to the Cardinals at the end of the 2000 season to try and get us to the playoffs/world series and hit .345/.426/.655 in the 51 remaining games. I don’t think ANYONE expects “floppy” to do that, but Lopez has hit .357/.400/.500, before being on base twice tonight on walks, in his 9 games since coming over. Add in the walks and he’s sitting at .357/.438/.500. If he keeps up .938 OPS, I think this will be a fun team to watch down the stretch. (Hell, it’ll be fun anyway, but this will help.)

If Lopez finishes up anywhere near where Clark did on his binge

in AVG and/or OBP, I will really like that signing

ok

but it took a homer from skip, not a regular outcome and only because pinata was bad enough not to hit into a double play. i still think its not the way to go.

skip was irrelevant

swap the #8 and #9 in the 2nd inning and the exact same outcome occurs, regardless of what skip does.

(Of course, if miles made an out, then we’d be starting the next inning with the P leading off as an automatic out)

of course that assumes they don't IBB or UIBB miles (hitting 8th)

to get to piniero hitting 9th, in which case it’s the same outcome as what just happened except you don’t have 2 leadoff men in front of albert. I guess it lets you skip the Miles PA, which is a positive thing, but not huge.
