| Pineiro | Duke |
| 2.91 FIP | 4.24 FIP |
As for Zach Duke...well, he's a serviceable starter -- a lefty who's a decent 3rd or 4th starter. But when I saw that he'd been named to the All-Star team to replace Jonathan Broxton, I almost collapsed. No Javier Vazquez. No Joel Pineiro. No Chris Carpenter. Zach friggin' Duke? Seriously? (I guess I was also stunned that Charlie Manuel didn't name a Phillie since he put nearly his entire roster on the team! Wasn't that Jamie Moyer I saw warming up in the pen in the 8th inning of the All-Star Game? But I digress...) Duke has roughly a league average FIP and a solid BB rate but he doesn't get enough ground balls to make up for the fact that he strikes out barely 4.5 batters per 9 IP. He's been good against the Cardinals so far this season, probably b/c we don't seem to do very well against pitchers of his ilk. His fastball's gotten pounded this year but his slider, curve, and change have all been plus pitches for him. Approximately 45% of the pitches he's thrown this year have been off-speed pitches.
Here's the good news -- though we've been awful this year against lefties, we've been pretty good against them (small sample size alert!) since this game -- the first w/ Holliday, DeRosa, and Lugo in the lineup. Since then we've faced some pretty good lefties -- J.A. Happ, Randy Wolf, Clayton Kershaw, Wandy Rodriguez (for 4 innings), Johan Santana, and Paul Maholm -- and we've acquitted ourselves quite well except for being shut down by Kershaw. We've scored 17 runs in 40.2 innings against lefthanded starters since Holliday's arrival. Hopefully 3-4 today will be enough.

I’ll agree with that. But the non-HD stream is still very, very good, and I have no problems with it whatsoever. The HD stream is also more than a minute behind real time, so I don’t even bother with it.

in today’s ny post joel sherman wrote about ways to improve the mets for 2010. one of the things he proposed was to sign derosa. he said based on conversations with gms that he could be had for 2-10 million total. either sherman is an idiot (which I tend to agree with) or we are overvaluing dero’s worth.

The Pirates are one of the Cardinals toughest opponents on a frustratingly consistent basis.

Since those guys haven’t been able to get anyone out in over a month.

When Wellemeyer gets lit up again
I have a feeling that will be the last we see of him, probably via the Izzy “season-ending DL stint”. With his “veteran pitchers” TLR seems to throw them out a few times too many, their “death throes” if you will, until it passes the point of no return. I can’t see too many throes left in Wellemeyer if he continues to suck.

OT discussion...
- Clayton Mortenson got LIT UP in his start against the Royals last night, and KC isn’t exactly an offensive juggernaut.
- Rumor has it the White Sox made the claim on Alex Rios
- Motte’s appearance last night made me go back and re-read Chuck’s main post from yesterday — this bullpen situation doesn’t give me that warm fuzzy feeling I’d like to have going into the stretch run.

I think Motte will be fine if he figures out when and how to use that pitch

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
I was at that game
Mortensen got rocked. Lots of hard hit balls all over the park. I certainly didn’t expect to go the K and see the Royals score 12. It was pretty windy last night but it was going from right to left, and not really blowing out at all.
He fooled a few guys early but then it looked like they just figured him out and started hitting line drive after line drive. KC were really squaring up what looked like flat sliders. We were sitting almost exactly 90 degrees to the pitches, so I couldn’t really judge for myself what the pitches looked like. I know he threw a whole bunch in the dirt. (So did Greinke actually, the catchers were busy all night on both sides.)
He walked a bunch of guys too. I think he was hitting 90-91 on the stadium gun.
My boss scored some suite tickets from somebody he knows, so I was pretty much lit on free InBuds by the 5th or so….
they're talkin' bout Boog... and Ozzie in the same sentence

Whistling
Anyone been at a game, day game especially, muggy, not much happening, sluggish 4th or 5th inning and you’re beer is warm enough to give up on it, like, for example, in the Rox series in May/June? with Thompson starting, when we looked like hell and were, and somebody pierces out one of those two finger whistles (that I can’t do) from some remote corner of the concrete park and another whistles back and then another and so on in the otherwise humid silence? That’s a nice sound in that place, at that moment. Don’t know if it’s common in all stadiums, but reminds me of a similar whistle at the Old Barn, back in the Hull days when the whistle was let out to appreciate a good play that would have otherwise gone unnoticed b/c it had nothing to do with a goal but was simply recognition of a great effort.

Thought this was funny
A foxsports article over teams poised for late season runs, on the cubs he states
Even after the Mark DeRosa and Matt Holliday trades, they have a better lineup than the Cardinals, who were shut out twice in the last week. And if Milton Bradley starts hitting, the Cubs will have a really good lineup.
Can someone even begin to explain how the cubs have a better lineup
"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring" -Rogers Hornsby
no
if everyone in their lineup lived up to their potential
but then, if everyone in the cards’ lineup lived up to their potential
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
They're oh so lovable.
After all, they’re better than us at every position, except 1b, and then, we’re not that much better there. Their pitchers are all better, their stadiums better, their fans are better, their city is better, even their trophy case is better because it’s not at all crowded.
I am so sick of the media fawning all over them. It makes me hate them so much more.
I don't mind the underdog role

They've been knocking the cover...
off the ball recently. Since the Holliday trade on 7/24, the Cubs have scored 5.6 per game versus the Cards at 4.8.

When you look at the stats they're very similar
but this is over the whole year without holliday,DeRo, and Lugo
"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring" -Rogers Hornsby
Prior to 7/24...
we were better than they were. Since 7/24, they’ve been better. Both have been better overall, but they are hitting a ton.
With Holliday, we’ve scored 3 or fewer six times out of 14 games. We have to hope for better.

Stick a fork in Piniero's season
Say hello to the Pinata.
With Wellemeyer and Lohse’s downturn, they pretty much are going to be trotting out 3 guys that will get hammered each and every start the rest of the season. Save the occasional 10 run outburst when one of these three pitch, I don’t think sub-.500 baseball will get the Cards into the playoffs.

Not running, per se. I rarely see him stretch out to block balls when he’s catching. And if he’s tight, he doesn’t have torque to drive balls out of the yard like he used to. Maybe he’s strained something we don’t know about.

i hate announcers
who bemoan how ‘sad’ it is that players won’t just retire gracefully.
Maybe they like playing the game.
Maybe they like to compete.
Maybe they want another shot at millions of dollars teams pay people to hit baseballs in public.
There are a million good reasons to keep playing as long as you think you’re better than the worst guy on a major league team, and just because you ’aren’t what you used to be’ doesn’t mean its time to get turned into glue.
maybe
it’s just hard to come to terms with the fact that you’re too old to play the game you’ve devoted your life to
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.

Thats gotta be it.
Imagine how tough it is to start as a little kid, and go through your entire life livng and breathing baseball, and then all of a sudden you can´t do it anymore.
maybe
but that’s a really cynical view of the player’s motivations, and i’d be pissed if I were john smotlz and people we’re making those kinds of assumptions about me.
Maybe John Smoltz can come out of the bullpen and be better than the 40th man on their roster. He made an obligation to the Red Sox that he’s working to fulfill, and rather than get credit for that people just shake their head at him.
All of that head shaking is just full of awful assumptions that pass for conventional wisdom..

if that wasn't intentional
No one has ever been thrown at intentionally ever.
The ‘fuck’ might have been that he got it up high in his ribcage and not in the fleshy part of his thigh.
I feel bad for Caps
He did not hit Albert on purpose. He dropped an f bomb right after hitting him. Albert has been getting hit a lot lately though. I think pitchers know they have to pitch inside to him but they also know they got to get it way in cus it is Albert
The Redbirds are of the highest priority to me... As it should be

Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
So would the Hit of the Game
last year against San Diego be when Albert almost took off Chris Young’s head?

Pujols should steal home here
but not with speed or stealth or anything like that. Just start defiantly and methodically marching home while glaring at the pitcher, daring him to throw.

I just can’t feel good about beating such terrible teams. Can we go back to playing at least AAAA ballclubs?

Terrible teams (largely these Pirates) eliminated any chance of the Cardinals seriously contending last year.
