Game 112 Open Thread -- August 8, 2009

St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates, Aug 8, 2009 7:05 PM EDT


 

Wainwright Morton
3.42 FIP 4.04 FIP

Wainwright's moved to 10th in the NL in FIP. Remember back in April when he was walking batters all over the place and throwing 25-30 pitches an inning? We were all wondering what the hell was wrong w/ him and Carp helped him get straightened out. Since April 24, he has a 2.73 ERA. Since May 16, his ERA is 2.23. And since June 26, his last 8 starts, his ERA is 1.49. I've probably just jinxed him but he's been terrific.

Charlie Morton came over in the Nate McLouth trade and he's been very good in 9 starts, though he's averaging just under 5 IP/start. His K/BB is 1.88 and his HR/9 is just 0.81. He throws strikes and gets ground balls (48.6% GB%) with his 4 pitch repertoire of fastball, slider, curveball and changeup. To this point his curve has been his most effective pitch but we're talking about less than 45 innings. Also, we know how our hitters tend to fare when facing a pitcher for the first time. Be prepared for a low scoring game.

Yes but "FRIST POTS1"

pre-game repost

Boog:
Talkin’ to Shannon.

He’s ready to go off the bench.
And he was genuinely grateful when Shannon said he’d blossomed this year.

I want the ball. I want the ball. That’s where the fun’s at!

We know, Boog. We know.

He’d like to be at shortstop for many years to come.

Mentioned more chances to flash the glove and play all over the place. Still "soaking it up" from all the other guys, in terms of his game.

Boooooog.

Wainer:
He likes the preparation and how much he wants it.

Carp had a locker next to him in ’04 and saw him grow up to be a man in his own image. Okay, I made that one up.

Stache talk! They ask Wainwright about it. "When we started it, we played some really bad baseball…" Wanted to mix it up, etc. Somebody at the starter table yelled out ‘mustache’. Everybody jumped on the bandwagon, killed for about six games. Then they stunk again and everyone jumped off. "Me and Joel and a few others are still rockin’ it."

Wainer wants to close out a World Series … as a starter.

It kind of makes me sick...

Today I was at the Museo de la Nacion in Lima, Peru (my home country). I spent quite a bit of time at an exhibit that memorializes the Guerrilla uprising here that began some 30 odd years ago, and only ended around 1998.

Guerilla tactics are designed to maximize the bloodshed in confrontation by using innocent villagers as shields. My father himself was captured and held hostage. My uncle had to flee the country. My mother was in constant danger just for being a member of the press.

To me, this symbol is like wearing a swastika.

Is not just some American t-shirt phenomenon. It is a real Guerilla symbol that actual Guerillas use. People with automatic machine guns have stood next to their recent victims praising this symbol.

here's the thing

the image of Che means something in mainstream American culture, that is something on the line of being trendy and ironic.

the question is, are we going to accept that there are Cardinal fans everywhere, and not just in mainstream America? and include everyone in the VEB community? It’s not anybody’s fault that it’s offensive, but what we do with it is certainly within our power.

it is understandable

i am actually well read in Latin American history. I wrote my senior thesis on American colonialism so have a general idea. But Che was bigger than just communism. He was revolution against the old guard, imo.

When it comes to Carp, Waino, and Albert, I’m always torn between wanting them to play as much as possible because it gives us the best chance of winning and wanting them to play not at all and instead sit quietly wrapped in bubblewrap with a warm breeze gently blowing all allergens away from their faces.

i wouldn't say misplaying.

that’s oversimplifying it and making ankiel seem much worse than he is; the truth is, colby gets better reads/breaks on batted balls and gets there more smoothly.

The ‘big picture’ to me is letting our rookie CF’er be an everyday player over a guy who has the same handedness, worse numbers and not better defensively. That rookie needs more playing time than the guy that is going to be a FA this off-season.

You can look at that 2 ways

1 – He’s stupid. When you’re hurt you should inform the coaching staff so that you don’t play hurt and therefore bring down the team.

2 – He wants to play pain be damned. Alternative being Carlos Zambrano who pulls himself 15 min before a start during a playoff race because of a back injury he got while playing HR Derby during BP

But pointing out someone is not a good player does not mean we “hate” that player. If I say Wellemeyer has zip, zero, nada business getting another start. It doesn’t mean I hate the guy. It simply means I reconize we have several better options.

Now after knowing that and watching him go out there and cough up run after run, people will vent on the guy.

I've seen you trying to defend him for awhile

and take Colby down a peg while doing it. Which is your prerogative.

But Rick has been bad both offensively and defensively. He has a great amount of Cardinal lore but that doesn’t give him a lifetime ticket to play. Nor does it give him the right to take away at-bats from players that should be on the team next year.

and last time I checked, playing like a Cardinal does not include

swinging like a helicopter at balls, without any real improvement all season long.

i can appreciate his story

but still hate his lack of production, streakiness, and hit-or-miss defense.

The Great Career Revival will always be associated w/ teh Cardinals but at this point, I’m ready to be done w/ him. I also think it might be good for him to play elsewhere. Maybe, maybe not.

It also hurts his case that he generally is blocking a player who is already much better defensively. Said player will develop into a much better hitter than Ankiel in due time (this may already have happened).
