Game 132 Open Thread -- August 24, 2008

reyes

looper

3-9, 5.18

11-10, 3.94

I have to say that I'm very impressed w/ Looper's season so far this year. LB did a superb job the other day detailing his improvement and there's not much really that I can add. Sure, there might be a little luck involved w/ his high strand rate but I think it's fair to say that, at worst, Looper has become an average major league pitcher or so. Seems to me to be a good candidate for an arbitration offer and a bad candidate (at age 34 in October) for a long-term contract offer.

Jo Jo Reyes just isn't good...period. He walks nearly 4.5 per 9 innings, gives up too many homers and doesn't strike enough batters out. A lefty, he has been pretty tough on lefties in his brief career so I'd expect to see Skip on the pine today. He's been bad on the road and worse at home over parts of 2 seasons. He has started twice against the Cards in his career and given up just 3 ER in 11.1 IP. We're due. It's time for some "regression to the mean."

This, simply, is a game the Cards have to win. The Brewers lead us by 3.5 games -- 4 in the loss column -- and are trying to finish off their sweep of the Pirates today. They've got that Sabathia guy pitching today also. We need this one before we have our 3rd off day in 8 days tomorrow. Brilliant scheduling, Bud.

Overflow to go up around 2:45.

Today's lineup

Izturis 6
Mather 8
Pujols 3
Ludwick 9
Glaus 5
Molina 2
Miles 4
Looper 1
Barton 7

Let’s see a double steal when Barton and Iz2 are on in the third inning.

Good!

our worst hitter leading off. I’m glad that lineup positions don’t make that much difference.

i like this line-up...

… but it’s a mystery why Iz2 and Barton aren’t flopped. not like it really matters that much probably, but Barton’s OBP is 30 points higher than Iz2’s.

OT: Not sure where to post this.

My mom has six tickets for next Wednesday’s game that she can’t use. It’s against the Brewers, and Wainwright is supposed to start. The tix are in section 359, row 10. I think she’d take less than face value. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Batting Averages:

If Jones goes 0-2 and Albert goes 2-2, then he takes the lead. Anything else, and Albert’s off by a fraction.

Why does it have to be a lefty?

I keep hearing this…a lefty needs to be trade. (OK, I paraphrase into one comprehensible statement…it’s said many different ways). Anyway, with the way the lineup is shaping up for next year, I believe

C – Molina/backup 2 RHB (probably…I don’t see Anderson breaking with the big boys)
1B – Pujols RHB
2B – Miles? Switcheroo
SS – Lopez? Switcheroo
3B – Glaus RHB
MI – Kennedy LHB
CI/MI? – Stavinoha RHB or Duncan LHB or Phelps RHB or Ryan RHB or Rico Washington LHB (uhh…probably not.) or David Freese RHB or Allen Craig RHB or Brian Barden RHB or Jarrett Hoffpauir RHB (LOTS OF RHB)
OF – Ludwick RHB
OF – Ankiel LHB
OF – Rasmus LHB
OF – Mather RHB
OF – Skip LHB or John Jay LHB or Shane Robinson RHB

I see a ton of RHB on that team already.

Barton

barring a trade and assuming rasmus makes the team...

skip is definitely your 4th outfielder, right? i’d lean towards mather making the team over barton because of his pop…

by LukeMP1186 on Aug 24, 2008 3:05 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Barton's got speed though

we could use him as a pinch runner, and he doesn’t have that much less pop either

They spent an entire inning talking about how cool

they all were hanging out at the Boss concert last night. Then Al was trying to give us some convoluted argument about what the MVP was and what it wasn’t. His math on the batting race was strange too.
