| Petit | Wainwright |
| 7.22 FIP | 3.63 FIP |
Petit is giving up 3 homers every 9 innings and has walked 14 in 33 IP. He's been hurt by a GB% of 32.2%. He's basically a fastball, slider, changeup guy whose fastball is averaging just 86.6 mph. Hopefully the Cards can tee him up and give Wainer a good lead with which to work before we face Haren tomorrow.

I thought Harren was pitching today?

holy eff Jo-El *robbed* Albert Pujols
I’m still gaping. Towering shot in BP and Jo-El pulled an Endy.
That means it’s working.

kinda like making that big mid-season trade, only he goes straight to the DL, only now he’s actually playing?
It really is, Al.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

HL Mencken
Speaking of Rolen
I heard on local sports talk radio that the reason Rolen and LaRussa had their falling out was because Rolen was irritated that Pujols, Molina, and a couple other guys were dogging it down to first on grounders, he confronted Albert, and Albert and Tony got all bent out of shape.
Anyone else heard anything similar to that? I think it’s bogus, considering who the local host was, but I’ve never heard anything on why Rolen wanted out, other than getting benched in the ’06 playoffs.

kinney was a bad decision
but the walk was also the wrong decision. By walking the bases loaded, LaRussa increased run expectancy by .181.
This was one of the few situations where walking Albert would have had a positive run value effect, but chris young is not albert pujols. “The Book” says it’s a Bad Idea to IBB a .400 wOBA player with men on 2-3 and 2 outs, and chris young is a .300ish wOBA player. So it was a Really Frigging Stupid thing to do.
the end of every half inning IS a turning point. -Evilfrog
the pitcher was on deck
not exactly a clean up hitter
does the book say anything about Dan Harren embarrassing an offense and by walking him you potentially get into a poor bullpen? I don’t see how pitching to an awful hitter is worse than pitching to a replacement level hitter (assuming you can pitch, and actually throw strikes)
It's official. Cardinals third basemen are jinxed.
by YesWeOquendo on Jul 18, 2009 9:58 PM EDT up reply actions
haren has an OPS of .707 this year
he’s “not exactly” a slouch. Actually, he’s been roughly the same quality of hitter this year as Chris Young.
TLR was hoping that the DB would pinch hit. They called his bluff.
the end of every half inning IS a turning point. -Evilfrog
Thats fair, but even if haren has an ops of .840 i think the walk is still a good idea though
You may be giving the diamondbacks an FAR greater opportunity to score a run or two, but even if that’s the case, Dan Haren was and seemingly will continue to be more valuable than those possible runs.
Getting Haren out of the game AND getting out of the inning underscored upon seems to me the only way you can win this game. If you don’t walk Young, you don’t even give them the opportunity to pull Haren.

ESPN just suggested...
That Albert chasing the triple crown could distract him from what’s important—winning.
What the fuck? Albert Pujols, by attempting to hit baseballs better than anyone in the league, could somehow hurt the team? Sometimes the shit people say is just baffling.

lots of things that help the team
don’t get captured by the triple crown stats. I can kind of see where they are coming from there.
the end of every half inning IS a turning point. -Evilfrog
Explain.
Because driving in runs and hitting for high average can only help the team.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
chasing pitches out of the zone to try to get RBI's
instead of taking walks, swinging for the fences and flying out, etc.

If that starts happening,
and it won’t, then we can talk about it. Albert wants to win.

The real question is
do they have 10 day contracts in baseball? You could be RICH hopping around the league.
seriously this reminds of a fantasty baseball idea
just pick up awful lefties whenever they are about to face the cards and then drop them after the game. In fact, there’s a probably a couple of other teams you could do this with.

But only because it’s so much faster than B-A-B-I-P. When it’s something like OPS, I say O-P-S. Or W-P-A. But ba-bip is a lot of letters.
