Game 84 Open Thread -- July 5, 2009

| Carpenter | Arroyo |
| 2.60 FIP | 5.98 FIP |
Arroyo's given up the most homers and earned runs in the majors this season. Both lefties and righties have slugging %s at .500 or better and he's actually been worse away from Great America Ballpark than he has at home. Amazingly, he's 8-7 -- more proof that a pitcher's wins or winning % are a useless method of analyzing a pitcher's performance.

pretty good choices
except hamilton and jeter (and actually jeter’s having a pretty good season so it’s not a bad one) – I’d say that’s not far off the ideal AL lineup.

I think the Monk hit the nail on the head.
While we’d all like to see Carp get the recognition, is there any of us that really want him to pitch in this game? Even if it’s just an inning…hell, especially if its just an inning. Personally, I don’t want him throwing one more pitch than necessary this season and even though “this one counts”, Carp"s right arm matters a hell of a lot more to me than this stupid game.
I have a very, umm...photographic brain. A lot like Ansel Adams but in color and with a lot more, uh.....insertion and pubic hair.
I'm not sure why you responded to me.
But, yeah, I agree. Plus I don’t think he should be an All Star.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
I was just falling in line and keeping the thread going
I was responding to you and agreeing with Monk. It made sense in my head. Basically, it doesn’t matter who Colorado has that should make it, I still don’t want to see Carpenter throw one baseball at the all star game.

Reds broadcaster just said something beautiful
Only Cubs all-star rep is Ted Lilly
"He ran hard, but he didn't run fast. He runs like he's mad at the ground."
Best thing about it is that the best clip of Lilly is him throwing his glove on the mound in the '07 NLDS

the way carp is throwing
that’s not a bad spot to try, 1 out and the guy a couple of strikes down… Not sure if it was the H&R or a straight steal attempt. Hit and runs suck (especially with a bopper like Bruce in the box) but a steal there is OK i think.

you cant assume a double play, therefore he should get an RBI as if he grounded out.

right
but you get an RBI when the guy scores from third on any type of ground out except double play.
Milt Thompson FTW!
what about if you hit a shallow fly, guy doesn't tag to run and then fielder throws it away?
the run scores on throwing error, not as a sacrifice from the original hit. I think the same applies here. If the error had been anything else, or they had been trying to put out anyone except the runner, it would’ve been an rbi. I think.

They ruled
That the error is what allowed the first runner to score on the play. If they’d ruled that the runner would have scored had the error not been committed, he would have gotten an RBI.
lol
if we weren’t like 30 runs up, that would really have sucked….

it’s nice to go for the jugular on occasion
yep
plus it would have been nice to see Ludwick come through with all these runners on base. He badly needs to start driving those guys home again.
Milt Thompson FTW!
41 rbis i think
not bad given he’s been injured – despite his minor suckitude ((mostly BABIP I think) he could still drive in 100 if he plays and hits 4th rest of the year. TLR CANNOT keep running Dunc and Ank out there. COLBY AND LUDDY MUST PLAY EVERY DAY.

This was a very serious game...
and Colby Rasmus is already the 2nd best position player on this team.
No doubt
Colby should be starting against RHPs over AnK or DunK. He’s been on fire lately, while the aforementioned two have done little other than K’ing or flying out.
TLR: Please start Colby!
he had a min streak liek this earlier in the season
where he was starting to catch on, only to get jossled, then slump a bit…He should be in all the time.

Fuentes
Dude has been lights out since his early in the season problems. He’s given up 11 ER all season, and 8 of those came in 3 outings.
It worked out okay with STL not going after him, but NOT b/c of the reasons everybody thought. Had Franklin not turned into whatever he is this year, and we were relying on Perez and/or Motte, we’d be in a world of hurt.

You guys were clearly wrong about Perez/Motte being ready to close. No way around that.

srsly?
Why is Jason Motte not ready to close? Has he been as good as Ryan Franklin? No. But he’s been damn good. He’d be fine as our closer.
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 5, 2009 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions
I doubt we'd be in first place right now
if Motte were closing instead of Franklin. World of hurt? Probably not, then again, I doubt DeRosa’d be on the team right now if we didn’t have Franklin closing. We’d be okay, definitely not in a world of hurt, but I also think we’d be looking up at the Brewers instead of the other way around. And with the way things are shaping up, I’m not so sure we have the luxury of knowing we can lose a game or two and not have it come back to hurt us at the end of the year. I think it’s gonna be a 3 team race (maybe four?) to the end.
And to be quite honest. I’m not sure Jason Motte is a future closer. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t/isn’t going to be real valuable to this team. IMO, he’s the type of pitcher that’s designed to put out fires with his ability to strike out any hitter. I don’t know, maybe he can close. I just don’t think he can.
I have a very, umm...photographic brain. A lot like Ansel Adams but in color and with a lot more, uh.....insertion and pubic hair.
I think we would have clearly lost more games
since Ryan Franklin has been performing well over his head right now. But the team wouldn’t be in a ‘world’ of hurt. If we had Brian Fuentes, we would have had to trade Ryan Ludwick to clear up payroll room, we wouldn’t have drafted Shelby Miller and we’d have even less money going forward. THAT would be a world of hurt.
The way this team is currently playing and currently constructed, they aren’t a World Championship caliber team. If you took away Ryan Franklin and replaced him with Brian Fuentes, would they be? No. If you took away Ryan Franklin and replaced him with Jason Motte, would they be? No. So, we would have lost a few games in the standings with Motte but we would have also lost a lot more financially.

Not to mention three months ago,
we wouldn’t have considered being here with Ryan Franklin a possibility either. The plan was that the bullpen would shake out because of all the talented arms in it. Just because after the fact we traded the least talented one doesn’t mean something along these lines wasn’t basically the idea.
Decrease runs scored?
Maybe.
Decrease winning? Never seen that proven.

Nice series
Made it back from Memphis without getting a chance to see the Redbirds. Had a firework go off in my hand last night, it still kinda hurts. I hope we win the next two series and that DeRosa is ok.
