A friend of mine ended up randomly drinking with him once
along with a few other players, possibly Skip, a couple others I can’t remember. She knew some DJ at some club that was friends with one of them, and he invited her along to hang out. She didn’t know who any of them were. I literally had to sit down at the computer and show her pictures and ask “how about him, was he there?” I was kind of a little jealous.

This is only the 3rd time
That Wainwright has thrown over 120 pitches. He has thrown 110+ pitches 15 times including this one.
So far this year he has throw as many 110+ innings this year as last.

eh
I saw/heard it.
He talked about how Ank kinda goaded him into running on him, only to dick around too much and give up the extra base.
Seems like he’s just way to quick to rip Colby (or B. Ryan, for that matter) but gives Ank (and even Dunc) a pass far too often. I guess it just bugs me that he’s not even-handed in his comments.

I think that in principle, Evilfrog has a good point
Ank has looked just lost for a good while, but I think what frog was saying is that it seems like people are quick to give Colby a pass for making rookie mistakes/dogging it/trying to bunt for no apparent reason/etc.
by goodymobb on Jun 10, 2009 10:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
and why should we not?
he is a rookie. he’s not perfect. when he doesn’t play & Dick & Dunk do we should be mad because he’s better than both of those two put together.
and he’s not dogging it. he’s just that damn good.

dude, I dig Colby
and think that he’s clearly earned the everyday CF job.
He’s outplayed Dunc, fo ‘sho and I definitely don’t understand why TLR insists on sitting him (and Ludwick, earlier this year) in favor of a struggling Ank and/or Dunc.
However, I think Frog’s point (and my support of it) is just to be more even-handed in our criticism/praise. For such a quantitative community that seemingly favors objectivity wherever possible, I can see how it’s a little frustrating when the same logic isn’t applied across the board.

People pick out scape goats. Thursty, Duncan, and Ankiel are the prime ones. Every time they do something bad they get jumped on them. Even when they do something good people seem to dismiss it.

tough lineup calls for tomorrow
Getaway, very early day game, so some folks might think it’s not a bad idea to sit AP tomorrow.
However, with the lefty, TLR’s hands might be tied as far as giving Albert a break.
IF Albert sits, I guess you’d put Duncan at 1B, then maybe:
Ryan 2B
Dunc 1B
Ludwick LF
Ras CF
Ank RF
Greene SS
LaRue (seems like Yadi sits when Welley pitches) C
Barden 3B
Welley P
I dunno….maybe Albert shouldn’t take tomorrow off ;-)

the Cat was trying to help him & Tony didn’t care what he looked like, he just wanted to get the interviews over. he also got on the Cat for asking too many questions.
i’m serious, the next manager will never have as good of post games interviews as Tony as had. he will be missed.

I posted this on the game thread, but anyway, you might like:
I noticed that the Cards struck out zero times last night, pretty cool. Also hit the first 3R HR since 4/25 (YIKES). Anyway, the Marlins are giving us a taste of our medicine this series. They have struck us out in just 6.0% of our PAs, but walked us in only 4.8%. They really are "pitching to contact" – 89.2% of our PAs against them have resulted in a ball in play. The 2 game set against the Phils was the second closest to that number, with 87.5%, and those two are the real outliers as our rate against everyone else is below 80%.
In contrast, we struck out in 24.5% of our PAs against the Bravos, and walked in 15.4% vs. the Royals. Interesting stuff.
I should caveat that a we accumulated only 80 – 100 PAs against a couple teams, so not really too reliable.
I have more data if anyone is interested.

I liked the part where Harold Reynolds was like
“I remember talking to you at the little league world series. How is MLB different?”
Of course, it’s gotta be cool for Harold to have gone to Williamsport all those years and see some of those kids as big leaguers now. That doesn’t preclude him from dumb questions, however.

neither Ankiel Nor Rasmus
has been good against lefties this year. But Rasmus has been better and does player better Defense. Only “logical” reason is Tony trying to protect his rookies…

LHP splits for both

Man
I never thought I’d say anything like this… but that Ops of .449 Colby has going is clearly superior. More OBP at .244 (still, blech). Fewer Ks, more BBs. Despite how terrible they both are Colby’s is less terrible.

FWIW: Colby's minor league splits
vs. LHP: .275/.371/.455/.826
vs RHP: .278/.364/.496/.860
Not saying its perfect, but probably more indicative than 43 PAs.

I'm glad you posted that
Because I was pretty sure his minor league splits were impressive. I totally have more faith in Colby’s ability to hit lefties than Ank or Dunc. Your post demonstrates that it’s kind of a silly exercise…

I get it
Ank had a good game last night, so Tony’s gonna play the hot bat (note: this convention doesn’t hold for OFs not named Ankiel and Duncan). Also, it’s a LHP so you gotta figure Lud’s in, and probably Stav as well.

I do like the infield against a lefty - that's some solid D
Now imagine if Colby played CF and Rick shifted to LF. We’d have a great outfield D as well. Why can’t this happen, TLR?
Oh, and Ank is now hitting better than all OFs but Colby.
