well, it was 3-0 when i programmed the thread

mcclellan was getting hammered, and the cards only had 1 hit off harden . . . . but yeah, even with all that maybe i was being a little melodramatic

Why do people.....

Keep insisting that all “callups”, or lack thereof, are Tony’s decision?

Tony, as far as I know, hasn’t mentioned one word about Freese. Wouldn’t something like that be more of Mo’s decision than Tony’s? And if he were on the roster, that would be Tony’s decision, whether to play him or not?

by SoonerfanTU on Sep 11, 2008 10:10 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He said why would you call someone up

he can’t even find playing time for the guys he has and would you expect a guy from AAA to get a hit, or guys like Brian Barden/Brendan Ryan to get hits when they’ve actually done it at the MLB level.

Still looking for 1985 Regular Season games on DVD/VHS

by Hardcore Legend on Sep 11, 2008 10:11 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah, it's mo's decision

but out of respect for Tony, you don’t go over his head and promote people once he says he doesn’t want them.

If Tony said “I’d like to see what that kid freese has”, it would happen.

Tony had nice things to say about Freese in ST, I recall

Can’t imagine his opinion of him would be any lower after the very good season he had.

by liam on Sep 11, 2008 10:16 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Exactly.....

I doubt Tony is telling them not to call him up. Especially now.

well, he's taken a public position in the p-d

that he doesn’t want/need him, and he hasn’t reversed it. You can project whatever position you want on him, but that’s what he has said, and it is ridiculous.

I'm still fine with it.....

Especially if it’s only for a couple of games.

You really think Freese, in his first ML games, during a playoff chase, is going to be a better option than a bunch of guys that have played 3B in their careers at times? I don’t. Had Lopez not thrown that ball away, nobody would be saying a word.

by SoonerfanTU on Sep 11, 2008 11:03 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

maybe

some guys show up with a chip on their shoulder, looking to prove something. See Ellsbury, 2007- he made a huge difference in the red sox series run.

At the very least he’d be a decent RH bat off the bench in a night like tonight.

But usually that guy making the contribution is a more bonafide spect.

by SoonerfanTU on Sep 11, 2008 11:11 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

well, he's gotten a lot more hype.

but he put up a .740 OPS his first time in AAA — about what colby put up this year - and he got called up. He’s got a sub.700 OPS this year for the sox.

Freese had a .900+ OPS his first time through AAA.

That is ridiculous, then

Although why Lopez is ahead of Barden on the depth chart at third is beyond me.

by liam on Sep 11, 2008 10:41 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Changed my mind

Barden doesn’t have to be added to the 40-man until after next season and we’ll be pressed for spots going into the winter meetings.

by liam on Sep 11, 2008 10:48 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Replace ‘Barden’ with ‘Freese’ and that comment makes a little more sense. It’s a justifiable non-promotion.

no, we won't

we have a number of players departing. See HC’s post in the other thread.

We had the hits to score the runs that inning… Can’t really blame it on the bats… You just have to tip your cap to the Cubs for making those great defensive plays off the bats of Pujols and Fukudome.
