St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds, Jul 4, 2009 1:10 PM EDT
 |
 |
| Thompson | Owings |
| 4.77 FIP | 5.39 FIP |
On our side, it's a good thing that Thompson has a 56.5% GB% b/c a 2.81 K/9 is just unworkable in the majors. He just can't survive for long allowing everyone to put the ball in play. If the Reds don't hit the ball out of the ballpark, they could certainly single him to death. Thompson has 6 starts so far this season and has an above average game score in only 1 of them. He's been beaten around in his last 2 starts and it seems to be a race between he and Wellemeyer to see who loses his job when Lohse returns from the DL. Wellemeyer seemed to have a leg up before his impressive start a couple days ago so now Thompson's probably ahead by a nose. Here's hoping he pitches well enough today to fall behind Wellemeyer once again.

He and Raz need to stop eating sliders before the game. T-Green in his place.

Colby speed
With only the 7th most baserunning opportunities on the team (OPPS), such as opportunities to advance on balls in play or steal bases etc., Colby’s EQPBR, or runs earned on the base paths above the average, is 1.997, which is best on the team.
In 2006 Colby stole 28 bags in 36 attempts, (77.7%) almost Jacoby #‘s, granted against weaker catcher’s arms and slower pitcher’s deliveries.
So, Colby is obviously fast, but he is a great baserunner too. This is one large reason why his lack of walks and therefore OBP practically equalling his average is a concern.
Tony should consider batting Colby in front of Yadi until he starts walking more in front of Pujols, then again maybe the two hole will only ever see strikes due to fear of Pujols. By batting in front of Yadi he can show off his speed and steal more bases (Larussa probably is hesitent to send runnners batting in front of Pujols), or run on hit and runs. Yadi after all rarely swings and misses.
Batting order doesn’t really matter though according to Bill James. But I would like to see Colby attempt to steal more often which wont happen in the 2 spot.

There are so many terrible players on this team
Duncan, Ankiel, Thurston, Tyler Greene
by dcfcblues on Jul 4, 2009 2:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
putting Ank, Dunc, and Thurston
all in the same lineup is effectively self-sabotage. I could possibly bear it if they were just non-factors, but they are all actively hurting this team.
by mattyp on Jul 4, 2009 2:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
btw, the biggest contribution they could make to this team
right now would be to refuse to take the field. Do baseball players ever do that? I guess I can hope…

It is Dusty managing
so anything is possible
by nmstar on Jul 4, 2009 3:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I would think yes since they’re bringing someone in. Most managers don’t bring a guy in to walk someone.

Basically a do-over for Dusty
I think he made a better choice. Still, hope Albert rakes.

Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.

wallace was 3 for 4 and has a pretty shiny .301/.333/.430 line. would like to see him take some more walks, but overall, i am liking what i’m seeing
