PrintI was at the gym on a bike when Albert laced the changeup into the stands. A reflexive fist pump and clap earned me some strange looks.
It was worth it.
PS - Albert's on pace for 80+ HRs right now.

ok,
now i know what you guys mean about dan and al. they’re horrible.
but on a completely different note, i cracked up when i saw albert catch that foul and stick his tongue out.
I was at a sorority house watching the Pujols grandslam with my lady friend and her friend.
I still did the fist pump and let out a woo. That was awkward.

it seems
like the percentages vary drastically as the innings get later. i would think that if it’s 1-1 with a guy on first in the 3rd inning or the 8th, the %chance to win would be pretty much the same, but i guess they calculate more chances to come back earlier in the game?
No!
And that is the problem. last year he was consentily setting at 93-94 and could hit 96. (someone feel free to correct). But this year he is down to 91 unless the FSN gun is off.
This worries me.
Last year Fangraphs has his average fastball at 92.3
In his first start his average fastball was 91.5 — probably not a big deal this early in the season.

Small sample size aside
He’s been hitting it pretty good so far, and hard. I seem to recall seeing a couple of long flys die in the bad weather opening weekend.

They did it last year
right before Ryan Braun hit a game winning homer
"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."

Don't buy it.
I think you’ll see Motte in there the first time he gets a chance with a 3 run lead. He just wants to work him back into it. Until Motte takes it, or Perez comes up, this team has no closer.
If this were the case
Trevor Miller would have faced Tony Clark at the end of the game.
by Hardcore Legend on Apr 14, 2009 12:14 AM EDT up reply actions
No
because he is 3 for 7 vs Franklin with a double and a HR.
by Hardcore Legend on Apr 14, 2009 12:16 AM EDT up reply actions
But if you are simply looking for the best opportunity
to get a guy out and not staying within defend roles (“Set-up Man”, “Closer”), Ryan Franklin had been giving up solid contact and was facing a guy who had success against him. Tying run at 1st, send in the LOOGy.
Franklin got us the win and I’m grateful to him for that. But I’m just really fearful we are going to see Tony go back to Franklin as closer in 1 run games because he feels ‘safe’ with the veteran…despite what he did last year.
by Hardcore Legend on Apr 14, 2009 12:21 AM EDT up reply actions
I don't know that TLR is enamored with Franklin as closer.
If he felt all that comfortable with him, he wouldn’t have begged for another option. He didn’t exactly hand the keys over to him last year, as much as he was backed into allowing him to finish games last year.
I still think that either Perez or Motte will have the job by the All-Star break. If they haven’t, I think it will be because neither guy has earned the job. He eased both Wainwright and McClellan into those high-leverage situations, and I think he is looking to do the same with Motte and Perez.
Turn over the rotation tomorrow
with Carp going again. Nice start so far to the year. Let’s keep it up!

And the D-backs for our pitchers. Crazy soft schedule so far, but we have very much taken care of business…
Not afraid to nitpick
harden vs marquis
next game for the cubs. And what an interesting schedule quirk… a day off in the middle of a 2 game series, on a tuesday?
Anyway, I’m going to put my internet money on Marquis, just because I feel like he owes me.
