Rick Porcello, We Hardly Knew Ye Overflow Thread


Not much to say up here. Obligatory 75-word filler below jump.

Star-divide

Ok, so I can't think of anything cogent here. I can't even come up with a haiku. How terrible is that?

 

It's fun watching somebody else's team deal with the 163rd game of the season. I am not really rooting for one side or the other--I guess maybe the Tigers, because of 1987, but I find it impossible to actually cheer for them.

 

Anyway, this is entertaining watching the Twins storm back. Right now it's bases loaded w/ Tolbert at the plate.

 

Oh, and

 

But I’m still hungry,” Pujols said. “I’ve got 10 fingers. There’s one that’s busy and I need nine more.

 

Albert Pujols is ridiculous.

Albert Pujols’ 2009:

160 games, 568 AB, 700 PA
186 H: 93 singles, 45 doubles, 1 lonely triple, and 47 dongs
124 runs scored, 135 batted in
115 walks, 44 IBB, vs. 64 Ks (good for a BB/K of 1.80).
23 GIDP—that surprises me. FWIW Yadi hit into 27.
16 SB, 4CS

.327/.443/.658/1.101, good for an OPS+ of 188 YOWZA
374 TB
ISO .331
BABIP .304
165 runs created

the runs scored, homers, on-base, slugging, OPS, OPS+, total bases, IBBs, RC all were league leading.

I win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arango’s enthusiasm persuaded the Devil Rays to bring Pujols to Tropicana Field for a predraft tryout. The day, Jennings recalls, was a disaster. Based on his body type, Pujols was asked to perform in catching equipment, and reluctantly agreed.

“It wasn’t very pretty,” Jennings said. "Then we let him hit and he hit one ball in batting practice that went to the warning track, and no balls that went in the stands for a home run. He might as well have been Joe Smith. There was nothing that said this was a great player.

“We were blinded by our own eyes.”

Arango says Pujols was fully capable of putting on a power show that day, but was primarily focused on scorching line drives. Less than a month after Arango’s lobbying led nowhere, and the Cardinals were still able to pluck Pujols in the 13th round, the scout submitted his resignation.

Herk Robinson, then the general manager of the Kansas City Royals, says the failure to find Pujols underneath his nose “may be the one that stings the most.”

“Here’s the kicker,” Robinson said in an interview earlier this year. “We had someone in our engineering department here at Kauffman Stadium who actually lived with Albert for about three months. You can’t get much more in your back yard than that.”

Span is fast enough to not be a DP hitter and he’s good enough for him not to waste an out I’d think.

eh

I think playing for one run in the 9th inning of a tie game at home is OK, but Span being a quality hitter makes it more complicated….

I’d be interested to hear what VEP and the other knowledgeable saber guys on the board would have to say about it….

On average

Man on 1st, none out: 0 runs 56% of the time
Man on 2nd, one out: 0 runs 59% of the time

What would happen if this game decided a season title?

I mean, this is still “a regular season game.” What if Mauer, say, won the batting title during this game, but he was behind in BA before the game? Has this ever happened?

Or worse, what if someone broke a record? Like if Albert’s 185th assist came in game 163. I guess there would be an asterisk next to the record?

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

Carp is so freaking awesome, from today's press conference

Q: Can you be objective about what you and Adam Wainwright have created … you’ve seen people like Oswalt and Clemens, Clemens and Pettitte — when you have two dominant guys and then you compress them into a short series. Is there a way to quantify the value that the team possesses?

CARPENTER: Well, it’s all fine and dandy what we’ve done all year. But this is where it counts.

"fine and fucking dandy" would work, as well.

I swear it looks exactly the same to me.

Except there is an m-f-er at the end of Yadi’s post not highlighted. I don’t see any cursing in yours.

So does Yadi2's have it in the highlighted part?

Because I don’t see that either.

Clemson Girly......

I’m afraid that you may not be cut out for the playoffs. There’s gonna be lots of cussing…damning God, things of this nature. From your posting history, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to handle it. Just remember that the Gob’s are bastards and don’t miss a chance to tell them that. Just remember that the word FUCK is your friend.

I don't care if other people say it.

I just won’t. Well I won’t type it. I may let it escape my mouth. Do you honestly think I have never watched the playoffs before? Plus I’m an Indians fan, they have driven me to cursing many, many times.
