How the fuck are we losing the Nats?
Also, Smoltz has now thrown thrown 167 pitches in the NL and 114 strikes. That’s 68%, which is awesome. League average is about 60%. He’s also gotten 22 swinging strikes, good for 13%, which is even awesomer. League average is about 7.5%. Looks like he’s still got plenty left in the tank.
Smoltz.
a great pickup by Mo

the swinging strikes are as encouraging as
the 1 run allowed in 11 innings. That’s what he was doing in Boston, only he was just giving up the runs…sure gives a boost to the people who said it was the BABIP, not the surgery….
This really is getting alarming
We’ve been taking bad ABs for over a week now… when a starter doesn’t make it thru 8, we’re in trouble. And that seems… weird.

I think the guys want to keep the Cubs within striking distance
so we all don’t get bored in September
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
even with Luddy slumping
and I know we won this game, and I’m stopping by way too late, but why in the world is brendan ryan (as much as I love him) and Julio Lugo (as much as I fear him) getting more at-bats than luddy or derosa, at this point? Surely ONE of the two should be batting second?
it's Clydesdales vs Goats. Actually sums up Cards vs. Cubs quite nicely. -all4tookie
now I know why DeRo bothers me
He’s got a Stav beard.

the good part / bad part
is that mathematically the Cubs cannot overtake the Cardinals earlier than the 6th of September. As in, the Cubs would have to win all their games and the Cardinals lose all of them.

an actual question, now:
what would happen if a manager didn’t really put down positions for the fielders? its not like there is some set rule saying where everybody has to stand. or if the players just didn’t play where they were listed?
by Expatcardfan on Aug 28, 2009 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions
the pitcher for one
has to be identified and pitch to at least one batter. if he goes to play a position (ala whitey putting him in RF) he can only do so once in a game.
i don’t know about the others…
"He ran hard, but he didn't run fast. He runs like he's mad at the ground." - opposing broadcaster describing Yadi's speed.
there's a reason they're standardized
but there’s nothing that says you couldn’t have two outfielders and five infielders, for example…that’s why managers try the shift on hitters they’re convinced are going to pull, but the reason why everybody puts them in the usual places is probably pretty self explanatory

the dream pitch would
be for Smolzinski to teach him that splitter. Imagine not knowing if that fastball is gonna violently dive down and possibly away at the last moment, or if its gonna explode to the plate at 99 MPH. Chances of him learning that pitch and controlling it are slim to none, unfortunately.

nope - info from his hbp today
Marco Scutaro was removed from Friday’s game at Fenway Park after being hit in the head by a pitch with one out in the top of the fourth inning.
The Blue Jays shortstop immediately fell to the ground after a fastball sailed up and in from Red Sox starter Josh Beckett. Scutaro was diagnosed with a head contusion.
Nope, you're right.
I’m pretty sure in big situations, they’d walk him [Pujols] to get to Babe Ruth.-- Matt Holliday
Meaning Hill is playing 2B.
So that makes it even more impressive.

The Yankees do not have a nation…they have an evil empire. Obviously.
The Red Sox do not have a nation…they have the world’s largest traveling bandwagon.
The Cards, because of KMOX for all those years, actually do have a fanbase that can be legitimately called a nation, the only one in baseball (though I’d be willing to hear arguments regarding the Braves).
the Braves have a proper territory

It's "Say" I believe
"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."

Looks like there were two in May (one of which I attended, duh!), one in June, and one more coming in the season’s final weekend. Still though, it seems like there used to be a lot more.

there were more in the beginning of the season

and yeah, I remember one I was supposed to go to one but bailed because it was high 90s and sunny. As much as I love going to games, those ones are too brutal when you’re hungover and not under an overhang (hey…wouldya look at that), much better enjoyed in front of the tv with a cool drink in hand
But the only ones that weren't FOX games...
were Milwaukee on May 16th, Kansas City on May 23rd, and Minnesota on June 27th. I was going by this. The October 3rd game with Milwaukee will be a non-FOX day game as well, but it’s on KSDK instead of FSMW for some reason. So we have to listen to Jay Randolph for two straight days to end the season.

What's the bullpen gesture for the splitter?
I’m going through my footage and trying to pick out the pitches that are the Smotzl™.
I assume the gesture for the splitter is where he takes the glove straight down to the ground while keeping the glove palm down. Kind of like the change-up gesture, but down rather than up.
Anyone know if that’s the correct gesture?
Well, I'm from Texas and my mama taught me to not piss all over myself.

"Of course Kolby Rasmus was going deep! That’s what Kolby Rasmus does! You don’t give Kolby Rasmus second chances!" -Kolby Rasmus
Yeah that's right
At least in my person experience, the gesture was always glove out, palm either out or down, and then drop it straight down. As opposed to changeup, which is a similar, but instead of dropping it down, you pull it back (or push it out and pull it back).

I live within the broadcast territory of the Reds...
So I get all their FSN games, I’m blacked out of their games on MLB.TV, and etc. However, I’m getting the Mets-Cubs game rather than the Dodgers-Reds game on FOX tomorrow. I’d rather watch the Cubs lose, but I still find that highly comical. MLB’s television distribution is so out of whack.

wtf. I am glad I am not a cubs fan.
An entire post on BCB boils down to “Just because there’s one douchebag doesn’t mean they’re all douchebags!” despite a first-person report of drunken, racially-charged taunts continued in front of ushers and security.
“That happens in every park.”
There is still not full agreement on the douchebaggery.
Uh, no, I think that does actually make you all douchebags. LOL. (Okay, I may have my definitions wrong; ‘douchebag’ is too tame.) But I guess it’s more important to debate reality than call out security for sitting on their hands.

as much as I loathe the Cubs
I have to admit that Wrigley is a one of a kind place. They should enforce some kind of alcohol ban in those bleachers (even if its only a partial ban), make the tickets even cheaper and invite a more family friendly atmosphere out there. It would be the most competent thing Cubs management has done in a long time. Wrigley is crumbling less from its age than it is from the sheer weight of the insipid douchebaggery of the average bleacher bum.
good god
just read that thread and I think it’s safe to say BCB has temporarily lost its collective mind. From saying fans have a right to be pissed because the Cubs have “almost zero grit,” to concocting stories about White Sox fans infiltrating Wrigley and shouting racist remarks to make the Cubs look bad, to trading insults about Bush, Obama, and Kennedy, to hurling ad hominems at one another, to still hanging on to their Derosa as the Messiah complex….
"temporarily"??
That’s been a typical BCB thread for a long, long time.

despite it being the most competent thing Cubs management has done, Cubs fans would go wild and protest that they’re messing with tradition and history.

New Elias rankings out...
http://www.scribd.com/doc/19216605/Rankings-082909
DeRosa is less than a point from Type A with Glaus and Freddy Sanchez above him. He’s been slowly ascending and will almost certainly be a Type A. Awesome news for the franchise… I’m sure they’ll offer arb. I really hope they don’t sign him to more than a 2/15 type deal.
Ank continues to sink, and is now below Type B. This is probably a good thing insofar as it reduces the chance he’ll be back with the Cardinals.
Pineiro and Miller are a solid B and A, respectively, and of course Holliday is an A.
Please take this comment in the spirit it was intended.

Oh and I've been watching MLB network
Because I hate the WWL but last night one of the guys on there called texiera “the best right handed first baseman you’ll see.” After almost exploding in anger over the dis to Albert, I thought, texiera is switch hitter. Nothing is sacred anymore.

Then I guess I won’t kill him. Texiera is good defensively. I’m still upset, Albert and the tall flub (DLee) are both just as good

Yeah
They went way up and in on him to try to set up the pitch low and away.
Didn’t work out that well.
Just made him mad.

eh, even if they do you know every Nats player was like, 'Awwww, hell no" in front of the coach

the Nats are, apparently, mad as hell
and they’re not gonna take it anymore.
That’s what happens when you start winning. The losses are suddenly… what is this crushing feeling…?

Brad is survived by that picture of him on his knees after striking out Eric Hinske in Game 5b of the World Series, that crappy bobblehead they gave out last week, and the $23 million the Phillies owe him over the next two years. He will be missed in the ninth inning.

To Boo or not to Boo
I was at this game in Pittsburgh and let me be the first to say I was highly disappointed in Phillies fans. The game after Lidge blew the save, he was standing out in right field during batting practice. My buddies and I were letting him have it a little bit and we received some ridiculous comments. "Hey, did you guys boo Mike Schmidt? He was a Hall of Famer." First, off no, asshole, we did not boo Mike Schmidt because we are 20 fucking years old. And Brad Lidge is no where near a HOF caliber player. Another nerdy looking Phils fan told us that we should not be treating him this way because "he was perfect last year." He also added, "I wouldn’t trade anything for last year." Hey, asshole, get your head out of your ass. It’s 2009 you dumb prick. Not only did the Phillies win the World Series last year but you’re now 40 years old. LEAVE THE FUCKING PLASTIC GLOVE AT HOME!!! And Lidge, he’s been as bad if not worse than Jose Mesa in his save-blowing prime. It’s time for fans to move on. Everyone bitches about Hamels because he did the banquet circuits and wasn’t ready to pitch this year (although he pitched well last night). Well, that is a double-standard because Philadelphia fans have yet to move on. IT’S 2009. THIS IS A DIFFERENT TEAM. When we drove out to Pittsburgh, we thought we were going to see the truest of the true Phils fans. Sadly, all we got were those assholes that normally show up to CBP with their StubHub tickets in hand wearing a Phillies World Champions t-shirt.

Secret Weapon not sending runners
There were only a few comments on the thread when it happened, so I’ll rehash it a bit. I am not very happy these past two days with Oquendo not sending runners on 2nd with a base hit. It was more questionable two nights ago, but last night should’ve been pretty easy to send Holliday after a slow single. Why is he is darn conservative sometimes?

They don’t want to risk a collision at the plate and getting someone hurt.
The St. Louis Cardinals- 11 time World Champions!
I see your pt. but not necessarily agree
A runner doesn’t have to take the C. Dunc approach of baserunning. One could try to get around the catcher. And if the throw is off-line or late, then it’s moot. Also, I don’t believe in playing to avoid injuries. I am not advocating the Aaron Rowan’s school or playing hard, but I think one should play hard and smart.

I realize that the runner on 3rd did score
but all’s well doesn’t necessary always end well. Sending the runner opens up other possibilities beside just scoring or getting thrown out. The runner on first could possibly advance to third, the throw can get away at home, etc… I think the way the offense has been sputtering lately, I’d rather play small ball instead of waiting for the “big hit”.

The latest Elias Rankings are out and Mark DeRosa is the highest ranked B and is only .5 away from type A status. Also Matt Holliday, since becoming a Cardinal is on pace for 35 HR’s a season assuming he plays 160 games a season.
