it's almost never worth it

if the guy can’t steal the base, don’t do it. few things in baseball are worse than running into outs. that was an especially bad time for it w/ no one out and using your slugger to steal 3rd if the batter fails.

another thing i'll never get

the hit and run gets fielders out of position. but it just moves them in position for another ball, right? its like when women say they could get a guy any night at the bars. well, one of us has to be that guy, right? the numbers just don’t seem right.

it’s still guesswork as to whether the ball will go where the defenders used to be.

7.01

A runner acquires the right to an unoccupied base when he touches it before he is out. He is then entitled to it until he is put out, or forced to vacate it for another runner legally entitled to that base

by prophetjohn on May 6, 2009 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

It implies

that there can’t be a tie. And if there is such a thing as a tie, the defense gets the call.

Classic underachiever.

by spants on May 6, 2009 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

i'll agree

that it rules out the opportunity of the tie, but in no way does it imply that tie goes to the defender

by prophetjohn on May 6, 2009 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

It explicitly

says when the runner gets the base: when he beats the ball to the base. Therefore, if one is to even bother to interpret a tie as existing, you have to give it to the defense. The runner isn’t beating the ball to the base in a tie situation.

Classic underachiever.

don't they now have a winning record vs lefty starters this year?

It kind of sounds like he’s [Duncan] just running around like a puppy out there – full speed ahead in random directions. – BTown Birds Fan

Any word on Glaus? PD says not before the ASG. He rehabs well, move the Barden-Thurson platoon to second

He's not to be evauluated

until June 1. So I would not expect him until Aug 1.

(Honestly I don’t expect him to play this year.)

They said

he’s working his way from throwing on flat ground to a mound. I’m not sure if that means we have different sized mounds for him to baby step it back or what… but that’s what I heard.

Out all night

should I be applauding the fact that Boggs gutted out 4.1 innings with no command of the strikezone? It seems like with some pitchers we laud their ability to keep the club in the game when they don’t have their best stuff but we just complain about others when they don’t have theirs. I haven’t read the game threads (not sure I’ll have time) but I’m wondering if this was a flukely bad night for Boggs or if he just didn’t have command. . .

I got overly excited after he K'd Morgan to start the game

After that he lost the strikezone. The bullpen did an excellent job last night.

if i were the cards, i'd shell out money to have a consultant

For all the players, including the ones who can’t afford personal dietitians and so forth. We already have a short bench….

Yeah, that news snippets I have seen so far have specified "performance enhancing" in the results

There could still be a medical treatment that shows up in the tests for performance enhancers I guess. I’m no expert.

my wife posed a good question

dont all teams have team docs? if this was not the dogers team doc why was he seeing him? it’s not like manny walked into promptcare and asked for treatment…just have to wait and see as details come forth I guess

Ankiel on the DL, Sugar Shane gets the call-up

Let’s all root for the underdog. I kind of hope he’s in the lineup today, although it’s unlikely.

Not against a RHP on his first day in the show

Probably tomorrow, regardless of the handedness of the pitcher

Ok, so far this morning I've learned

Ankiel is going to the DL after all, and none other than Shane Robinson is getting called up.
The Cardinals signed a pitcher who is a disciple of Mike Marshall, he of the freakish Cy Young year and “injury-proof” pitching research.
There was a sad story about Aaron Miles which might or might not be true and is just kind of weird to read.
Manny Ramirez allegedly has tested positive for P.E.D.s.
This is not exactly a slow news day! And isn’t it an afternoon game today too?
