Game 78 Open Thread: Giants at Cardinals

San Francisco Giants at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 29, 2009 8:15 PM EDT
 |
 |
| Lincecum | Thompson |
| 7-2, 2.57, 10.6 K/9 | 2-3, 4.50, 2.8 K/9 |
This might be the youngest-looking pitching matchup since (Bill Simmons mode engage) Gary Coleman took on Emmanuel Lewis in a lost episode of Battle of the Network Stars.
Lincecum strikes out 3.8 times as many batters as WonderBrad does, which is probably the highest gap between two starters in baseball this year. Meanwhile, the Cardinals will likely be without Colby Rasmus tonight, after he spent some time under general anesthesia. I was going to make a thirteen pitchers joke here, but an unexpected benefit of having Mark DeRosa is that La Russa actually does have five real-live-outfielders on the roster, and is thus immune to mild depth-based ribbing in this situation. He's always a few steps ahead of us.

Any chance Mort makes that start???

"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."

Probably not the next start
But if PK sucks, Lohse returns, and Wellemeyer is beyond horrible. Than possible yes if Mort also does good inbetween

fat ichiro
he’s a catcher/third baseman/first baseman who is a cult favorite because he’s such a weird hitter/looking human being. He hit .350 in the minors last year, .345 in a brief cup of coffee in the majors, and now he’s not only doing that but also walking occasionally.

he beat i think it was miguel cabrear in a home run derby in Venezuela too. so he’s kind of a big deal there now as well.

So this is unconfirmed so far, but someone on MLBTR posted a link to
a list of the 103 steroid users. No Pujols and not many Cardinals on the list (remember, 2003 rosters). The list is organized by team, but take it with a grain of salt…since it hasn’t been confirmed. Still, very very very interesting.

Dear Cardinal Nation,
My name is Chris Duncan. I have one baseball skill, and that is the ability to take pitches enough to have what some call “a good eye.” However, this is only true of fastballs, or when I am so badly fooled by a pitch that I nearly fall back onto myself. So I really don’t have that great of an eye but somehow after 4 balls they let me run down to first.
I am not entirely sure why my uncle keeps playing me, but I’m not going to make him stop. Shoot, I’m just thrilled that I consistently find my way out to left field! Being a DH and all, I really am quite afraid of running on what is called the baseball field.
Thank you for your time. Good day.
Chris Duncan

what really pisses me off is yesterday & today
MO said he was going to wait two weeks to see if the DeRo trade jump starts the team. well that’s just bad managing. Mark DeRossa isn’t going to magically give Welley & PK great control. he isn’t going to give Dunk his power back. and he really isn’t going to stop Dick & Thurston from sucking the life outta everything.
he’s really not half the GM he says he is if he thinks Mark DeRossa has magical healing powers.

I won't agree/disagree with the quick advance philosophy
but I will say it really bothers me when rookies get coddled. I think that Mortensen was going to eventually have one these games where not much goes right for him, and I like that TLR left him in for it. Maybe he can get something from it? It’s sad that it happened on his first appearance. Obviously everyone wants him to succeed, but for a game we’re probably not going to win, a taste of failure isn’t as bitter.

It would be better if we gave them more than 2-3 innings before sending them back down.
Thats the problem I have with our approach. He have had 5 different pitchers up here for little looks and if they don’t have a good first inning we demote them and start the arb clock on another.

I think I like the sink or swim philosophy. Why baby a guy for 2 or 3 years to find out he is mediocre?
Mort may go back down but now he has an idea of what he needs to do to succeed.
I think that is the issue with Boggs. He is trying to work some things out and not so worried about the outcome of the games. I am purely speculating but it makes sense to me.

Lincecum is nasty. He throws baseballs like they are wiffleballs. If we win it will be a miracle.

I think the anorexic pitcher route may be ill conceived at best.

FWIW
Mort should have been out of this inning about 4 batters ago.

I don't necessarily disagree
but I get REALLY tired of people who have never taken the time to watch prospects prior to their very FIRST major league outing and then pronounce them as worthless.
Even after that inning, unless you’ve seen Mortensen in the minors, you really don’t have any idea what he’s capable of as a pitcher or any real foundation to make those kind of proclomations.

On the bright side this might be a good way to get Lincecum out of the game. . .
