Wow
Only 6 wins for the Harangutan? Hasn’t had much help this year has he?

it's odd that Aroyo leads the Reds in wins
when he’s clearly not the best pitcher on the team.

Good to see
Kennedy gets a start in RF.
I would hate to see Barton play…since we know exactly what to expect from him.

I hate to say it
but maybe all this talk of showcasing his is what is going on. If so, 2 more triples tonight please AK

And Mizzou doesn’t play this week. And no NFL team from Missouri has won this year…

actually
i was unnecessarily bitter. I wasn’t able to watch the brewers play the cubs, so i assumed I’d be blacked out of the cards-reds, but the cards game seems to be working.
Still hate the idea of blackouts, and poetry is art, after all.

I think Miles
is really going to be overshadowed when it comes to overall improvement from ‘07. A lot of the facets in the game aren’t something stats can cover, and generally (from what you said, to base running, to perfecting his drag bunt) he’s really came along this year. Still a weak hitter with bad range in the field, but improved.

I used to joke during ST this year when his elbow was so high in the MSM that I’d wish he’d go out, get the elbow fixed and come back as the reverse Ruth. I wouldn’t put it past his talent, but don’t look to see me disappointed should he opt to stay off the mound.

He would pitch every 5th day
then play 1B on his off days for pitching, but if they needed him too he would come in the close the game. Someday he’ll have a stat line like .350/.450/.630, 2.50 ERA, and 25 saves.

Imagine, he hits a batter on an inside pitch. They wouldn’t even charge the mound, they’d look down at their feet, weep and slowly go to first.

so i was listening to the game on the Natti's 700WLW before getting home
and jeff brantly could not get over just how “well” Floppy has hit since coming over. marty joined in with his shock, especially considering his attitude problems. they are stunned & can’t figure out how or why he has 4HR’s & hit for a high average.
i’m half tempted to email them all the numbers those of you have come up with that prove he’s just getting back to his career norms. and he is not in fact this good.
Kinney better be in the back of the pen next season.

A little work sure...
Maybe some adjustments over the winter and in ST. But not the complete overhaul that’s been suggested by Duncan. The thought gives me shivers….

as noted in that thread..
it’s not an overhaul. it’s keeping his arm up and lose some of that negative weight he’s put on the past two years.
“keep your arm up and lose weight” is a common prescription not an overhaul.

"don't throw the damned ball right down the middle"
is a common prescription, as well.
Note that “down” and “down the middle” are not the same thing.

Ok, that's true
I just get worried, I don’t want to see him get messed up. He was one of my favorite players to watch while he was in Springfield and I just hope he can translate it consisitently in the majors.

Just because we played the Reds doesn’t mean you can go all Joe Morgan on us, lol.
But true, I don’t see Flores being a major role, if any role next year due to loss of faith. Villone was alright early, but it’s clear that his age is catching up with him.
Franklin is a concern, I don’t think Izzy is.

watch the 9th inning again
his arm is all over the place and release point is too.
he does need to become more mechanical. and since he was with the canes, he’s not adding bulk, but negative weight.
i’m probably as anti-dave-tinker as anyone, but Perez needs some minor work and to me what was mentioned was reasonable.

he needs to be a little bit more calm and collected for sure
but I’m not convinced that he needs to lose that much weight, maybe 5 or 10 lbs at most

by Cards Fan in Chitown on Sep 27, 2008 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's not about weight
it’s about negative weight. Bulk may help him, general conditioning will for sure help him, but he’s looked as if he’s sat around all off season. Hopefully not this off season, because a full year next year will take a toll on him.

well that was disappointing
he didn’t say anything news worth.
he’ll work on getting a better MI that can actually hit. and if he can’t do that, he’ll get two guys who play really good D & he’ll get “the impact bat Tony wants another way.”
he’ll work on the left side of the pen.
he’ll try & keep both LOOP & Lohse, but realistically he can probably only keep one. television own Pat Parris asked if he’s rather keep LOOP since LOOP has said he wants to stay & his agent isn’t Scott Boris, and MO, ever the politician said agents don’t really matter & he’ll be happy with either one.
they will have much better back up plans next year & are not counting on any injured pitcher or player to be ready for opening day next season. especially Carp.
he also wants FNSMW to trade Jimmy “The Cat” Hayes
other than that, not much. unless i missed something & someone else who saw it can fill in the blanks.

pretty much what the base wants anyways.
all in all. I mean, you can fringe around on the details but that’s pretty much how ’09 shapes up.
Any bat we get needs to be able to hit LHP worth a shit. We can’t continue to add to a sore spot we have.
I don’t even have an issue going after an impact bat in the OF, sure we have a surplus, but it’s a brittle one (injuries) and if we go after one early, we can then trade surplus in confidence. If we go with Loop, or Lohse, we need more offense to give them a fighting chance when they’re off.
Who knows about the MI, we’re either going to over spend, or we’re going to be quite disappointed.

Hanely Ramirez played two whole games for the sawx in 05 before he was traded to the Fish
he only had two at bats & struck out both times.
he’s got a sick glove at SS (true he only has a .966 fielding percentage so there is room for improvement) and can absolutely kill the ball. he’s a member of the 30-30-30 club.(HR’s, Doubles, Steals) and he plays a 150 + games a season.
