they didn’t mention when he died, how hard it was, how old he was. for a broadcast that is designed to be presented to baseball newbies, and is being watched by all of Cardinal Nation? that’s out-of-left field sucky.

serious question for anyone who has pitched

(or just cares to venture a guess) how do you train your wrist to do that (the dempster glove thing) when you are trying to throw a small ball to a certain location. seems like such a crazy thing to do that it would distract his pitching arm — like patting your head and rubbing your stomach. seems like something would slip, no?

by averagejoe on Sep 19, 2009 5:26 PM EDT reply actions  

i played in HS with a guy

good pitcher, ended up playing small college ball. but somehow, he would hold the ball in his glove when he started his windup, hand hanging at his side. during his windup he would reach into the glove, grip the ball, and pitch. and he threw a lot of breaking pitches, so i have no idea how he did that.

just my luck

we have a volleyball match tomorrow. Due to some arcane rule that makes some sort of sense when you actually think about it, it is necessary for our team to provide food. I had 4 pizzas in the oven. I’m at my parents house for the first time in a month (I had thought about decamping to the basement, but it turns out its full of wet rot and spiders so instead I’m in the living room). Engrossed in the game, I forgot about the pizzas and their absurdly hot (unlike my apartment) oven which cooks things to a crispy burnt residue in 13 milliseconds.

I suddenly remember and run to the kitchen to find 4 seriously carbonated pizzas (bad) right around the time Boog was stepping up to hit (bad) and miss the dinger (bad). SCREW YOU, HOT OVENS.

Surely one of Freese or Craig will end up being capable

Not as good as DeRo, but realistically, I can’t see DeRo adding more than 1 WAR above our internal options – realistically, his contract won’t be anything approaching a bargain. I can’t see a scenario when we can have Holliday AND DeRo and it be anything other than a bad move. So I’d rather have Holliday.

really, the ideal would be an arby offer, and him saying no.

I want the picks, but I dunno if I want to pay for him. If Pin’ll take 3/26 and Holliday 5/80, and we get a pick or two from DeRo, our work is probably done. Alternatively, Smoltz, Holliday and Calero, with DeRo and Pin turning down arby and a nice bounty in the draft.

arbitration makes sense, I guess, but unless the Cardinals plan on using DeRosa’s utility cred more than they have this year he’s overpriced and underpowered as a starting 3B. Give Freese/Craig/Mather a shot.

counter-intuitively

it might be better if DeRo’s a type B. Other teams will be more inclined to sign him (no draft penalty) so he’ll be more likely to decline arby. If he’s a B, I see no way he accepts. If he’s an A, it’s probably 50:50. So B is all reward and no risk.
