Rams game
Had to switch to Cards pregame instead of Rams preseason game. Good choice so far. Dinner in front of me. Franklins to the side. Let’s go Wainwright!
Latos
is an 11th-round draft choice.
Dave Duncan, take note. Jaime Garcia, take heart.
Cubs had a big win today...
Let’s let that be the last bit of bad news for the Cards tonight!!!
GO CARDS

but yesterday’s baseball-free day provided some great (sometimes vaguely) baseball-related entertainment from the great article to the slew of awesome comments. I love this site.

skipping class
My favorite is to skip class in order to watch afternoon games. Or on the rare chance I have a night class, I wind up missing 1/3rd to 1/2 the semester. Gotta do it now since I won’t be able to skip work later..
Let's go Biiiiiiiiiiirds.

Sorry to be "that guy"
But I just moved to Springfield, IL and DirecTV is now unsure of whether or not they can put my satellite in or not. Is there a free live feed of the game? I checked the fanshots… to no avail.
Whenever someone asks for a feed
I always imagine someone nervously asking a buddy if they have any weed.
I wasn´t talking about the heavy stuff
That would probably equate to illicit locker room video, or something.
This is just a game feed, man. It´s totally chill, man, not illegal.
they're not good at this "catch" thing...

…to a possible 10 WAR season as a pitcher. There have only been like 4-5 of those since they’ve started counting, and I don’t think there has been one by a pitcher. His record is like 11-7 and they’ve only won half his starts, I think. So he’s having a historically great season and they can’t even win behind him.

OT: Pi for dinner
Got in a day early for the MAG, and headed over to the Loop for dinner and a movie with the Evil Twin. Had seen an article on Pi, having made pizza for Obama both before and after the election, so when the concierge mentioned them, that’s where we headed.
Tried their South Side Classico — living in Chicago has given us some perspective — and thought that their small pie was very tasty but a bit pricey (+NA drinks and dessert for two = $37). Probably more value for the large. Ate outside, not hot, plus the bird watching was quite enjoyable.
Heading down the street to Tivoli to watch the new Mayazaki film, Ponyo (really enjoy animated movies, as long as they’re not too kiddie). Let all that are coming to the MAG know how it was.

…bunting in that situation is NOT aggressive…it is an inherently conservative strategy that reduces potential run output. Plus, Colby hit two ropes off that guy in the first…but sure have the kid lay one down!!! BTW I was out of the room and only heard that he bunted but was it a sac or a drag?

Well there's a big fucking difference...
…if he squared around late and tried to drag one, he’s trying to get a hit and w/ Colby’s speed its a little defensible, plus it likely comes from the player and not the bench. If he just squared around and put it down, that’s a sac and is probably called from the bench…that is the one that is REALLY indefensible.

My comment
Was more sarcasm directed at the occasional “he’s a crappy 35 year old defender who has been playing the game for 30 years, but a few weeks with Oquendo and he’ll be back to average!”
Not afraid to nitpick
kinda figured. i guess i was stating a question in the form of an answer, because of the timing of defensive decline. his last couple of years in pittsburgh he looked like he was wearing cement shoes.

He got a rude awakening in Colorado
He found out that some teams will only pay one guy at a time, then the owners made him seem like a malcontent for refusing to sign at about 30 mil under market, that was a reason he was traded as soon as the season ended. He seems like a loyal guy and is obviously enjoying being a cardinal. As a Holliday fan I really hope he stays there, and I hope his friends and family explain that in NY he would be just another player in St Louis he has HOF potential.

they look sexy against good teams also
the only team that gives us fits is the Phillies, and we had the worst part of our rotation going.
Yep...
I have a buddy who’s a huge Phils fan and he felt the need to chime in with “We totally owned you guys that series….” I had to let him know that they beat the worst 2 pitchers in the rotation and when we had one of our solid guys going (i.e., Game 1), we looked pretty solid (and held down their lineup).
The Phils
are one of 12 MLB teams Holliday has a lifetime 1000+ ops against so he might whistle a different tune in the playoffs he owns CBP
nice info....
They look solid with Lee, but besides him, their pitchers don’t really scare me (and with our influx of righties, we might not look AS helpless against Lee IF we were to face him at some point down the road)
I hope Waino is done...
he’s thrown a ton of pitches lately it seems in his last few starts……. the max he should go is through the 7th.

I disagree
He should be, while there are leads to pad him. He’s not going to see Major League hitting against his pitches. And for a while it looked like he had his new pitches working, just the pitch selection was wrong.
But you’ve made up your mind, so whatever. I can cite all the examples I want, you’re gonna stick to your guns.

So you're blaming the pitch selection?
Every pitch he is throwing is being launched. How is he supposed to gain confidence? His breaking pitch hangs, gets smashed. His fastball is straight, gets smashed.
Where is this confidence supposed to come from if he can’t get anyone out?
Because instead of focusing on locating his fastball
he’s spent the last 3 months trying to learn upwards of 4 new pitches. Release points and grips are different for him from pitch to pitch and that is going to effect his ability to develop more command of his fastball.

One time at Wrigley
I went to a rainy pittsburgh v. cubbies game. I got there when the gates open, but there was no BP, so they were taking swings in the cages under the OF bleachers. Kelly Clarkson was ringing out of that garage door in the RF bleachers during the pirates session in the cages. I was standing next to a pirates fan next to the field. I began to hear the music and said in a snarky voice, “Is that Kelly Clarkson coming from the pirates batting cage?” The fan replied, “That’s embarrassing.”

I can't remember this song behind Holliday
I recognize the guitar riffs but I just can’t recall lyrics.

CN - watched the game without benefit of sound - soundless in Seattle. Did Holliday come out of the game in the 9th for any reason other than rest?
Looked like he might have been limping. . .

Thanks for the reply. Ever troubling to see Thursty in the game for any reason. . .

I know I'm beating a dead (and decaying) horse...
But the current state of Baseball Tonight is saddening.
Steve Berthiaume is beyond terrible as a host, and the analysis, if even accurate, is simplistic at best.
MLB Network isn’t great, but it’s night and day compared to ESPN’s slop.

Was it always this bad
and we are just smarter baseball fans now?

Don't know what it was
but these guys have caught on too

how do you do the cool hotlink?
Click on the icon between the quotation marks and the picture of the tree...
Enter the URL in the space and click the “open in new window” box. Then you can name it whatever you want by typing in between the “><” near the end.

Also...
you can type your clever hotlink, highlight it and then press the chain, and it will fill in automatically.
Philles announcers about Toronto:
"Well they go out West after this series, this weekend, against the Tampa Bay Rays"
What....
did you think I would steer you wrong….lol.
Picked that up from a thread last week, can’t remember who put it out there.

Probably both...
But it’s gotten bad on multiple levels, not just solid analysis. That’s the thing with MLB Network. Those guys make dumbass statement all the time, too, but it’s so much more tolerable.

does anyone know what happened to Cardinals Diaspora?
I tried to go to that site and got the no can connect message. Did Aaron forget to pay his internet bill?
Don't ping my cheese with your bandwidth.
