adam wainwright v. mets. word on the street is that brendan ryan returns to live baseball action today.
let's see the early news today is that allen craig, with help from tyler greene, broke stephen strasburg. humiliated by being torched by craig and greene for home runs yesterday, wunderkind stephen strasburg is being sent to minor league camp.
also, the faa and norad are launching a joint effort to review whether albert pujols is a threat to aircraft or low-flying satellites.
scientists reveal that publicly sharing your thoughts on social media while sharing a genetic link with ozzie guillen is prone to get you fired and/or shunned from polite society. dissenting scientists suggest that in fact nurture, rather than nature, is behind such behavior.
matt leach puts together a reasonable assessment of current conventional wisdom on opening day roster makeup.
insofar as opportunities at spring training are indicative of one's standing at spring training, a quick look at spring training stats sorted by AB's and IP yields a couple interesting factoids.
on the distressing side, nick stavinoha has more AB's than anybody but freese and schumaker. luckily, craig and mather are putting together very nice spring training and I think they're good bets to go north; jon jay has flashed the gritting but not the hitting this spring. maybe he turns it around and makes a real competition. but so help me god, if nick stavinoha and his magical springtime babip luck end up on this squad . . . . bah.
reassuringly, matt pagnozzi has gotten only 8 AB's so far - fewer than distinct non-prospects like donovan solano, but seven more than bryan anderson. seriously, he gets released after one at-bat? he's going to have to have a very nice 2010 to get noticed again, if he can manage any playing time in memphis. for now, it seems like pagnozzi is getting all the institutional attention as the next catcher up in the event of injury.
on the pitching side, adam ottavino checks in with a nice little 8.1 IP with one run allowed so far (but 5 walks permitted). he comes right between real in-the-mix types jaime garcia and salas in terms of number of innings pitched. my interpretation there is not that he is at risk of going into the competition but that the club wanted to see more about how he was pitching to figure out how to manage his development. that said, the seventh bullpen spot is up in the air right now. we could do worse than ottavino in that role, even with brad thompson safely in the royals org.
as for other pitchers, pete parise, eduardo sanchez, blake hawksworth, and josh kinney have all gotten innings numbers consistent with already released players like tyler norrick and francisco samuel. i must admit to being a bit confused as to how these innings are apportioned though there has to be some dumb luck to it- e.g., you were in line to get some innings but the starter that day was cruising so we let him go an extra inning or so.
in other news around the org, shawn garceau gets a little good press after some time in the doghouse.
enjoy the game.
p.s. please enough with the college basketball. we starved for baseball all winter. should we scorn baseball, even temporarily, after it finally arrives, the gods of baseball may punish us.

One thing I wondered about when I saw ML's roster guess
is whether TLR will start the season with as few(!) as seven guys in the bullpen. Many teams extend the pen for the first month of the season, and since seven is his preferred number there anyway … the mind boggles.
Today's game is televised,no?

Question
What is the easiest way to limit a SP’s innings over the course of a season?
I was just thinking about Garcia, and I agree that we probably need to watch his innings this year. Can we do that at the ML level? Do you just put him on a strict pitch count? Innings limit? Do you just skip him everytime the schedule allows you to?
I’d love for K-Mac to win the job out of ST, and allow Garcia to work on things in AAA, and take it easy for half a season, then maybe come up fresh around the All Star break if K-Mac isn’t doing so well, or for injuries.
Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.
Matt Holliday. Nuff said.
"We" could, but I'm not sure Dunc would.
This is one compelling reason for starting him at Memphis on a strict pitch count (I’d say 90 through April, then 100), then bringing him up in just the way that you suggest. Any manager and coaching staff will understandably err on the side of “win now” in the majors. LaDuncan may take that to extremes, and the need to have Senor G functional not just this year but well into the future may be incompatible with feeding him to those guys straight out of spring training.
It’s different in the minors. A manager there uses his prospects the way he’s told to, period, end of story. I’m not sure what the optimum use pattern to protect Garcia’s arm in Memphis is (even the people who work with him daily may not know, although their views would certainly be better informed than ours), but whatever the organization decides is “right,” they’ll ensure that Memphis does it.

I certainly remember this team keeping pitchers on pitch counts
In the majors. One has to go back no farther than last season and Chris Carpenter.
I also see no reason why people keep thinking Garcia needs to be kept to such a low inning total. Hell, Carp is/was more fragile than Garcia, and he threw close to 200 innings last season.
Garcia is going to throw the same kind of innings in 2010, whether they are in the Memphis rotation or the St. Louis one. Might as well get the St. Louis innings out of that arm considering he is far and away the best bet we have for a #5 guy.
If there is that much concern for Garcia’s arm, put him in the bullpen and use him as a swingman.

Pitchers coming off of elbow surgeries,
generally can’t be counted on to handle 700% increases in their innings totals.
Chris Carpenter, despite his history, is a veteran who has thrown a lot of innings. Young pitchers are much more injury prone than veterans, and are especially prone to problems resulting in large swings in innings pitched. Carpenter is fragile, but that doesn’t mean Garcia is unfragile.
Also, minor league starters throw fewer innings than ML starters over the same time periods. The argument for keeping Garcia down is that it will get him acclimated to a higher but not astronomically higher number of innings.

Young pitchers are much more injury prone than veterans, and are especially prone to problems resulting in large swings in innings pitched.
Which, I imagine is almost entirely a survivor selection bias among veterans. I don’t know how to identify which young pitchers are less susceptible but it seems like there should be some gradation among that sample populaiton.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
there's been at least one article about that recently
The other thing is, since Garcia has already got a franken-arm, do the same rules apply to him? I imagine the sample size of kids in his situation is vanishingly small.
Well the girls would turn the color of the avocado when he would drive down the street in his El Dorado... -the modern lovers
I disagree STMF
I think that Duncan and LaRussa would help Garcia for two reasons.
1) Duncan and TLR are well aware of how many pitches a pitcher has thrown in a current outing and in previous outings. They do not like to stress pitchers arms all that often.
2) Also, TLR is known for making “strange” moves throughout the season, even ones that “give away” a game in the middle of the year – if they have room to spare AND it is something that will help the team in the future. TLR is always thinking about later in the year and how the team can win in the playoffs, assuming they can get there. He knows that is the ultimate goal.
I just remember guys like Looper, etc
would only pitch like 5 2/3 innings per game, sometimes less. couldn’t Garcia start out like that and be relieved by Hawksworth, thus giving Hawk more experience at the same time?

Well, that's what I mean by "win now".
They’re thinking how to use the staff to win THIS year (not just this game), which is entirely proper. However, a 1-year time frame is still inadequate for thinking about what’s best for a TJ survivor in the long (read: at least through arbitration years) run.
It’s necessary to draw a distinction between avoiding pitcher abuse in one particular game and avoiding it over the course of a season. TLR and Dunc have become quite good at the former, courtesy in no small part of the painful lessons learned from the Benes brothers and Bud Smith — no more 140-pitch outings on young arms. They’re still not necessarily great at the latter, though, and that’s my concern with putting Senor G in the rotation at the beginning of the seasons.

That may be all we "need"
but there was something that TLR said last week that suggested that we’d be “getting” more #5 starts than that. Good example of the win-now emphasis, if true.
by StanTheManFan on Mar 20, 2010 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions
#5 Starter
Pencilling in a rookie for the no. 5 starter spot inevitably entails a lessening of innings pitched. No. 5 starters generally make fewer starts—and, consequently throw fewer innings/pitches—because managers attempt to throw their No. 1 every five days, so the No. 5 will regularly see his rotational start skipped when it is the fifth day but not the fifth game. So, there is the likelihood that the No. 5 will throw 150ish innings, whether it is K-Mac or J-Gar. If they wanted to further limit it, they could, and without too much of a burden.
That said, if I were a betting man, I would wager on McClellan starting the year as the No. 5 in St. Louis and Garcia as the No. 1 in Memphis. But, we will see Garcia in a Cardinal uniform this year.
As an aside, why does everyone voice concern about Garcia’s health, but none too many seem concerned about McClellan’s? K-Mac has arm injury history and hasn’t approached 100 IP in years. (Not attacking anyone, just wondering aloud.)

but
i think the combination of having a good senor g #5 and a fragile carpenter #1 makes it less likely that the formers spot in the rotation will be skipped in favor of the latter.
"Franklin has no patience for bloggers who believe because he pitches to contact, his start last season was something of a fluke."
People are concerned with Garcia's health because they are looking past the present, to the future.
Garcia is the better pitcher with the most upside when compared to K-Mac. Also, in the coming years, Garcia financially is highly important to this club. As the payroll rises, and as we address Pujols’ extention, we’ll need a low cost, mid rotation pitcher (Garcia). also, Carp won’t be around much longer, so if Garcia can fill the #2 slot in a year or two, even better.
Now looking at K-Mac, he’s no more valuable than a Looper at this point, and he may never be more valuable than that. Now, please don’t misread that as Looper-types not being important, it is just that they are more easily replaced. Going forward, a Garcia injury hurts this team much more than a K-Mac injury. Personally, I feel we have plenty of K-Macs in the system to replace him if he gets injured, but we don’t have many Garcias.
by stxcardsfan on Mar 20, 2010 12:43 PM EDT up reply actions
it is a question of where Garcia throws 100+ innings.
I am worried about the future, too. Garcia’s on the 40-man right now. He is going to pitch 130-to-150 innings in 2010 somewhere. If he is good enough to throw those innings for the Cardinals, then he should. There are only so many pitches in an arm. Why waste them in Memphis?

good point
they can just as easily monitor him in the majors as they can in memphis, and he’s going to be pitching either way. why take one of our only consistencies from the bullpen and use him as a starter when we already have a better starter to use? plus we need Garcia and Craig to compete against each other for rookie of the year. lol

Not really.
Not all innings are created equal, in terms of strain on a pitcher’s arm. Innings pitched while tired have a lot more potential to do harm than innings pitched while fresh. In the minors, there’s more of an opportunity (one would say expectation) to pull a guy after 90 or 100 pitches, or whatever his pitch count is, than in a major-league game with the game on the line in the fifth inning. VERY different objectives in Memphis compared to St. Louis.

If we had any health issues in the rotation
That 5th-starter-gets-less-innings thing could end up sort of going out the window. It’s not hard for the 5 starter to become, temporarily (you’d hope) the 4 starter or even 3 starter.

Floppy hasn't really played 3rd much at all.
Part of the problem has been Lopex at SS where he really has no business playing except when double switching or similar lineup hijinks. The other part of the problem has been T. (Leaf?) Greene’s pathetic defense. All in all our defense has been terrible this ST and it has really hurt our pitchers.

Why I think Salas has an excellent chance to make the team this year
7.1 IP, 9 K’s, 1 BB
The only person doing better than him is Carp with a 11K to 1 BB rate.
Me personally that is the first thing I look at in Spring Training. How many walks a guy is issuing and how many strikes is he dealing. I really wish though we could see swing strikes somehow.
Obviously it's standing room only because Boog is back.

OT: I have a new respect for lil duncan
I have a possible sports hernia from Roller Derby (yes, I’m missing the first ever men’s bout tonight). This shit is painful to the point I scared the Med Student…think that scene in 40 year old version…KELLY CLARKSON!!!
I can’t imagine trying to go to the batting cages let alone play a big league game. I can DEF see why his numbers are different after this nonsense.
"How depressing is it being you? Would you equate it to being a lifelong Cubs fan?"
That combined with the neck (and resulting nerve) issues.
He really should’ve just taken a year off.
STAB STAB STAB
I wonder if there's any permanent damage or lingering....
I think it’d be better to miss a year than to keep putting up ops+ in the 80s with minus defense.
"How depressing is it being you? Would you equate it to being a lifelong Cubs fan?"
My husband says it took 3 years to get back to "normal," and that's with limitations.
He isn’t supposed to lift things that weigh more than 50 pounds (which he doesn’t follow 100% of the time, but he’s definitely more cautious), he’s not supposed to ride roller coasters, etc.
Now, he had surgery on his lower spine, but I imagine the post-surgery effects are similar no matter the vertebrate. I had a bulging disc in my neck that took nearly two years to heal on its own.
What Chris Duncan is attempting to do is very difficult. It’s a shame he really screwed up his swing with all his over-compensating. If he’d just rested… Anyway, I wish him all the luck.

i hope no one doesn't wish the best for Baby Dunk

From Opening game till the end of July
Assuming all the pitchers stay healthy and stay on normal rest. We will need the fifth starter only 15 times vs 23 starts for starters 1-4.
That includes two starts in April, 5 starts in May, 3 starts in June, and 5 starts in July
So for all those people that want to send Jamie Garcia to Memphis this seems like a light load to start a season. Starts off with an easy April a tougher May than a light June and a tougher July. Plus, an All Star break mixed in July.
If we are never going to give the top 4 an extra day off, that's stressing them more too
Not afraid to nitpick
we all know how much Tony likes his heroes
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
Three starts in April
was my calculation. 11th, 18th & 27th. One issue to keep in mind is the late April – late May stretch of 30 games in 31 days starting April 23rd. No hiding/resting a starter for six weeks.
Hmmmm
I have number 1 starter going on full rest on 4/10 and 4/19 – 5th starter and 4/29 for 5th starter
by FlimtotheFlam on Mar 20, 2010 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions
#2
goes 4/7 then 4/12 to stay on normal rest. The off day on 4/13 pushes number 3 back one day. Unless the Cards plan to skip # 4 on 4/15 then # 1 goes on 4/16. The 4/22 off day allows # 1 to stay on normal rest but forces the need for # 5 on 4/27. I put together a spreadsheet (cause my ncaa pools are kaput) with projected starter for the first half of 2010.
Link to spreadsheet with projected starts
The # 1 – # 3 could be set to have 19 starts before the all star break, # 4 18 starts and # 5 13 starts. The one problem with only 13 starts for the # 5 starter is the number of days off between starts could impact effectiveness. Only four of the 13 starts would be on normal rest.
I think your math is off
4/5 – 1
4/6 – off day
4/7 – 2
4/8 – 3
4/9 – 4
4/10 – 1
4/11 – 2
4/13 – off day

The difference between Pujols and Howard last year, based on Wins Above Replacement, was basically Ryan Howard.

Haven't had one of those in years...
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

Strasburg will come at some point too.
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

all the other companies stopped making cards?
and if we did put advanced stats on cards, no one would know what they were

Adam thinks he's a wizard.
for shame, Mr. Wainwright. there’s only one Wizard.
Ryan, a defensive standout at shortstop, also made an outstanding play in the field on Saturday. He charged a slow grounder by Alex Cora and threw out Cora in the fifth inning, drawing raves from starter Adam Wainwright after the game.
“I’m surprised he didn’t throw it between his legs, behind his back or something,” Wainwright said. “Defensively, he’s a wizard. He is very, very gifted. We need him out there. He knows the importance he has to this team and what he brings to our team defensively, and he can hit, too.”

you had to have filtered something you shouldn’t have because i can watch vids fine
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
um, i didn't do any custom filters though,
this is the first time i’ve messed with it.

any time
you right click on something and block it, that is a cutsom filter
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
i've never done that, i just installed ad block & left it alone

The man said you custom blocked
you’ve obviously custom blocked.

does it actually block any ads?
i mean you have to tell it which images are ads for it to block them
weird that it’s blocking mlb.tv ads liek that
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
i never see any ads & i've never told it to block anything
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
I have the adblock
and I still see ads. It kind of pissed me off. Of course I dont have problems watching MLB videos, so I guess that is a silver lining.
You actually got one of the versions of adblock that work?

For a few days, my browser was doing what gdm's is doing.
Then it randomly started playing videos again. I noticed that the timer went to 00:30 with a black screen for just a second or two before loading and playing the real video. I’m assuming that this is Adblock blocking the ads, which is weird because I used to see ads on MLB.com quite often.
STAB STAB STAB
i saw that too a few times
but it still hasn’t starting playing the videos, i just tried it again. i never saw any ads on any of the mlb team sites before, but it always played the videos till wednesday when suddenly it stopped
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
that's why i'm leary of doing it, i don't want a bunch of ads
popping up all over the place just to watch a few highlights on mlb

it does the same thing on iron too fyi
so it’s not just firefox. i have no idea how to mess with iron’s ad block though. spants posted a link to it mid season last year & i just followed those instructions. i couldn’t tell you what they were though

Spants ruining everything again...
what a jerk

She can only stab me if she can find me...
plus I know drifters that work for cheap if she gets to feisty…

her & Amaury a tight, if she doesn't find you
he will. you & your drifters don’t have a snow balls chance in hell vs Amaury

I wish someone would have told me that

alright I think it's time to fire up the MLB 10

Stolen from the webernets?
or do you have a 24 hour theatre out that way?
"The two most important things in life: good friends and a strong bullpen." - Bob Gibson
stolen, i'm not about to pay for that
that was dumb movie, it was a decent premise, but in what has become the norm from hollywood, a horrible follow through. the whole time i’m thinking they should have done this or should have had the characters say that & it would have been a lot funnier. it just made no sense. they never explained why that girl liked the guy in a believable way, they had the guy do a very dumb & obvious thing that would probably never happen in reality. they should have done so much more with it but the writers & the studio took the easy way out & it was a waste of time. if i had known it was a typical romcom i never would have watched it. the main characters were dumb cliche’s, it followed the typical romcom formula that sucks.
the only redeeming thing was the two best friends of the lead couple, but the guy bf at the end took a stupid left turn that ruined his character. i really liked the female bf, i thought she was a lot better than alice eve’s character.

perhaps, but it works fine so i didn't want to mess with it

Yeah that's bad times

Umm, this is going to sound simplistic and may not solve the problem
But sometimes when a video won’t play, I click on the link to the video on that page. In other words, usually a video has a series of related videos or a playlist to choose from, and a link to the video you’re trying to watch is located there. Clicking on the link to reload the video works sometimes. My only guess as to why this would happen is because I’m clicking over from within that website rather than an outside link.

my roommate is having a party at 11 am tomorrow
wtf is that shit?
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
it's her birthday, so i'm gonna be nice
this kind of stuff isn’t the norm
but, uh, what? 20 people at your house at 11am drinking champagne? i don’t get up much before 11am. i be glad when next week comes. sxsw was good, but i’m ready to get back to normalcy
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
so it's just a one time thing?
still, champagne at 11am is a lot much. even for a bday.
i thought sxsw was for only one week? wasn’t it two weeks ago?

did you go see any good bands?
i always hear about all these great bands at sxsw, but i’ve never been impressed with anything i’ve heard. i can’t even remember their names

where's allen craig?
not in the nl central top 51, but he does get mentioned in the cardinal synopsis following the list, though it’s not a rave review. i don’t know who wrote that, but there’s also a prospect review of albert pujols by sickels on this site posted a couple days ago.
