PrintHe's got a bum ankle and he's already slow as heck. If LaRue isn't to be used in situations like this, they might as well let him go keep Brad Thompson company.

tlr is an old school guy
doesn’t want to use the backup because they dont have a backup for the backup and what if the original backup gets hurt. thats why you never put your backup catcher into the game.
That situation
is when Nick Stavinoha comes into his own.
And to be fair to him, it is JUST that situation.

is it possible for a HR to be an error?
wierd question I know. Today just got me thinking. What if a ball is hit, front end of the warning track, easily playable, and someone jumps to catch it, and somehow palms it 15 feet over the wall? It’s a round-tripper, but does it always count against the pitcher for FIP purposes, is it ALWAYS a dinger? And, if it is possible for it to be scored an error, has it happened? Every scenario i’ve ever seen when someone’s “helped” a ball over the wall it’s been ruled a dong.

From the MLB Official Rulebook :
Rule 6.09 (h) Any fair fly ball is deflected by the fielder into the stands, or over the fence into foul territory, in which case the batter shall be entitled to advance to second base; but if deflected into the stands or over the fence in fair territory, the batter shall be entitled to a home run. However, should such a fair fly be deflected at a point less than 250 feet from home plate, the batter shall be entitled to two bases only.

did *any* of that hit location?
because really it’s the first few pitches until he settles down. it’s like he gets to the mound not locked in.

if you’re not watching. Nibbled a lot and threw it over the bag when he actually committed. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt but much more like that and he’s a long reliever in my book.

alternatively, ask current Dallas soccer coach Steve Morrow

Morrow started the League Cup final against Sheffield Wednesday; after falling behind to a John Harkes goal, Arsenal equalised through Paul Merson, and then Merson set up Morrow to score the winner (which was also his first goal for the club). In the celebrations after the match, Arsenal skipper Tony Adams attempted to pick up Morrow and parade him on his shoulders, but Adams slipped and Morrow awkwardly hit the ground. He broke his arm and had to be rushed to hospital…..
As a result, Morrow missed the rest of that season….
Morrow was fit enough by the start of the next season but played fewer matches (only 13, as opposed to 25 the previous season)……
Etc etc. Lost a big chunk of his career (he was a late developer).

yup.
part of what could arguably one of the worst years for sports in any city. it’s easy to miss when media leaves Seattle out almost always, but . . .
- Mariners go from a contender to worst team in the league
- UW goes winless
- WSU has one win
- Seahawks totally fall apart after being a playoff team the year before
- David Stern / Clay Bennett steal Supersonics
Actually, I take that back. ESPN did a write-up on it, but of course, it was only on their website.
With that said, WOO-HOO! It’s an all new year! Take that, USC.
On with the (good) youth movement!
WSU's 1 win was against the Huskies, wasn't it?

This big montage on fox
and not one mention of the 06 cards
"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."
they've only got the alcs this year
therefore the nlcs does not actually take place and has never taken place.

well, after all

Long waits between clinching games and post-season series are never good
Ask the 2006 Tigers
Testicle-exploding shit storm, circa 7/12/08 - We will never forget!
True, but our 06 squad showed the 04 squad how short pauses can be used to our advantage

I think it depends on momentum
but I think it really relies on how Albert and Matt show up. the rest of the team can generate their own momentum.

Rosenthal
citing the Cards’ mysterious difficulties with lefties, singled out the Dodgers as the most difficult task for the Cardinals in post-season, because of the one-two pucnh of Wolf and Kershaw.
Like, that’s more troublesome than the Phillies’ Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels?
Also, would the Phils consider using the ageless wonder, Jamie Moyer, as a third starter?
I think it's established that Rosenthal has something else in place of his speech centers.

You are forgetting about the Phillies Happ
Who might just win ROY and is a leftie. I am more worried about the Phillies than the Dodgers. Thank god we won’t have to play Phillies in a 5 game series. We match up much better in a 7 game series

Not to mention the Cards' record against the respective teams.
1-4 vs Phils, 5-2 vs. Dodgers
Phillies also have great LH hitting (Howard, Utley, Ibanez). The Cards fear them the most.

I haven’t really heard anything about it. But it was something different than all the current romantic comedies. It felt original and real.

Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
I agree
I hadn’t seen him here around here (sometimes on the mothership) but I was just glad to see his sensible comments on BCB.
possible call-ups ... come next Friday.
so they’ll join the team in Colorado, not Houston.

no third catcher
in the mix. I guess Tony will split the games between Yadi and LaRue with LaRue taking two of the three Houston games, Yadi taking possibly all three Colorado games and LaRue taking two of the Cincy games and Yadi closing out the season with the starters during the Milwaukee games. This keeps Yadi catching for Carp, Waino and Pineiro.
On another note, Wallace wasn’t one of the three players called up by the A’s. Beane is probably didn’t want to impact Brett’s value as a future trade chip or give Brett any time toward Super Two status.
Note that list was not official
just those mentioned in the past or generally thought to get a shot. I hope it is those four. The last week of the season Craig or Freese should be at 3B everyday to give us an idea of what we might have for next year. Seeing one, or both, of them have some success would sure make for an easier decision on Glaus.
