Cards/Nats Official Game Thread, 31st March 2010

PrintMorning, everyone. I'm going to have to apologise in advance, but I don't have a full post ready to go today.
I had begun writing another draft preview early this morning, right around 4:40, with the intention of having it done by 7:00 or 7:30. Sadly, life has intervened and forced me to attend to other matters today. To quote Bon Iver, ain't that just like the present, to keep showing up like this? I might have time to write a preview, but considering the game today begins at 10:55 CDT, I've decided discretion to be the better part of valour and am offering you only an open game thread in hopes of appeasement. Just call me Baron Chamberlain.
I do bring a few notes, oddities, and a playlist. I hope it will be enough to slake your collective thirst.
-- David Freese is official. Yawn. Actually, I suppose I shouldn't yawn at this; it's encouraging to see a homegrown filler at such a position of weakness last season. The fact the Cardinals can plug a player, no matter how unproven, into the hole at third rather than try to buy a solution, is all the proof you should ever need the Cards' minor league operation is doing its job. The question of whether they're doing the best job they could be doing is another matter, of course, but the 2010 Cardinals will feature homegrown talent at third, shortstop, second, first, catcher, center field, and two of the five rotation spots. Draw your own conclusions.
-- When I was very little, I had a great-aunt who was extremely superstitious. In particular, she was superstitious about pennies; we were never to pick up a penny lying face down for fear we would get bad luck instead of good, etc. What was really odd, though, and something I've never seen anyone else do, is she would leave pennies for other people to find. Any time she bought something and received pennies in change, she would hide one somewhere, always face up, of course, for someone to happen along and find, thus receiving their own good luck.(I say hide, but she would really just leave it in an out of the way spot.) Sort of a weird old lady version of paying it forward, I suppose.
To this day, every time I purchase something and receive a penny in change, I'll leave one somewhere. Don't ask me why, but I do. I went to QT this morning to buy a Yoo-hoo, and on my way out of the station I took one of my two pennies and left it on top of the trashcan by the entrance. And as I walked back to the car, I suddenly wondered something I've never wondered before: what if a person needed a penny to pay for $10.01 in gas and found that penny? Would finding a penny to pay for the one cent you ran over count as the luck granted by the penny? What I'm asking is whether finding the penny could be the good luck you receive from finding the penny, or would the penny give you extra luck due to finding it even though finding it was good luck anyway?
-- Jason LaRue is going to have a CT scan today to try and determine if he has a fracture in his hand. Seriously, I posted one effing picture of LaRue and now we're looking at Gagnozzi starting? I don't think the punishment even remotely fits the crime here. This is like punishing cheating on the ACT with dismemberment.
-- Do you ever sit around your house and start to wonder if you would be able to tell if it were bugged? And then you start looking really closely at your mirrors and checking lamps and stuff to see if maybe you've already been bugged and just don't know it? I can't possibly be the only one who's ever done that. (On a related note, I now have the cleanest back of an armoire you've ever seen in your life.)
-- I'm trying desperately not to worry about Carpenter, but his performance yesterday -- specifically the six walks -- has me a bit rattled, I'll admit. Such a lack of command was literally the last thing I expected to see from him. I barely followed the game while it was going on, so it may have been a case of a bad ump or something else; perhaps someone here can enlighten me. If not, though, yikes.
That's all I've got at the moment. I'll be back next week with a slate of draftees, all of them 'swinging for the fences' types -- super high-reward high school players. I do apologise again for this half-assed posting. Take care of yourselves.

Hello.

Carpenters command was pretty bad yesterday
It wasn’t the ump—However, I don’t think there is reason for concern. He always seems to have the occasional start that he just guts through. Sometimes they come at inopportune moments (2009 NLDS GM 1, 2006 NLCS GM2, 2006 NLCS GM6) but always seems to bounce back with a masterpiece (2006 WS GM3). So that means he’ll pitch a no-hitter on opening day.
As long as he doesn’t come down with pink eye or nut tendonitis, I’m happy. Just stay healthy luggage.

Spring Training
I think this goes back to that whole ‘spring training doesn’t really count’ argument. Carp has looked good at times so I’m not worried. If he had had poor command consistently, then I would be terrified. I know it’s close to the start of the season, but at this point for all we know either Carp or Duncan could be working on something new or specific or something.
If Opening Day and his next start or two go bad..well..I’ll just have to start cutting myself.
I hope so
but yesterday’s performance seemed eerily similar to 2009 NLDS Game 1, when Carp pitched 5 low-quality innings (105 pitches) and gave up 9 hits and 4 walks with 4 runs – the NLDS performance seemed to come completely out of the blue and now a so-so ST – color me at least concerned (tho I know it’s only ST)
carp's command in LDS was because of leftover Coors Effect
I remember before he took the mound in coors that it was a mistake to let him pitch that day. he lost his mechanics for the curve fighting the atmospheric pressure diffs. i remember that game distinctly as it was what i had feared most.
then i remember him having lost mechanics thereafter. while i can’t say i’d have not started him that game, and he was in the CY race (leading) pitching in that park for someone like carp w/nasty breaking stuff is just begging for trouble.
i’m hoping the mechanics haven’t translated to spring, but i haven’t seen any video just yet.

Hammels had one of the best curves in baseball at coors last year, just saying.

definitely true and the hammels curve thing brought hope to the fans
I believe that Hampton melted down mentally more than anything else. The Rockies have not had decent catching since Girardi, and never had an ace before Ubaldo matured.

Now that's what I'm talking about
+1 As Colby is no longer a rookie, we a need player for the HPGF to hyperventilate about on the opening day roster.
Craig, Mather, Garcia?
Freese even? I think there are plenty
"Come test me every day if you want," says Pujols, "Everything I ever made in this game I would give back to the Cardinals if I got caught."
Garcia yes.
Mather and Freese are not high level prospects, although I do like Freese. The point was hyperbole in case you missed it.
missed it
but still HPGF was coined around prospects just like Mather and Anderson, players whose bandwagons get pulled hard and fast and then fall off a cliff when the “prospect” does. Take Hoffpauir & Vasquez for example.

JAIME GARCIA
The only problem was that Garcia hadn’t been officially told that he was the fifth starter.
"I’m like, ‘Dad, what are you doing? Wait,’" Garcia said Tuesday. "They haven’t told me anything. When they tell me, I will buy the tickets. But just wait until they tell me."
As signals pointed more and more towards Garcia entering the rotation, the left-hander refused to believe it until he heard it himself from manager Tony La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan.

OT: Jeremy Sowers given outright release
via Goold Re-Tweet from Ken Rosenthal.
He could be a good reclamation project — he’s been battling arm issues for quite a while now. He’ll be a free agent and won’t cost much of anything and gives us another lefty to throw on the pile. I think it would be worth a look if nothing else.
Can Colby round out our new MV3?
Technically can't we claim Lud came from the minors?
He was acquired as a minor leaguer, right?
I was discussing farm systems with a Cub fan the other day. They refuse to give credit for Pujols, but it makes ’em mad when you point out all the other players.
And then, since I live in Chicagoland, i could point out all of the Cub farm system failures. hahah. “hey, I wonder if we could do Felix Pie as a reclamation project.”
just exactly what is...
their reasoning behind Pujols not being a homegrown product? Last time I checked the Cardinals drafted him in the 23rd(?) round and he hasn’t played for another organization… ever.
Unless of course you count the NL all-star team as another organization.
Don’t forget that the right side of our pen is almost entirely homegrown as well, what with just the exception of Franklin.
As to Ludstick I’d say we can give Lunhow and Mo credit for ~30% development, mostly Mo).
While Spinning.
Yes... I'm the annoying guy that over-uses ellipses.
life is too short
to spend time wondering how Cubs’ fans think. BTW, Pujols was a 13th round selection in the 1999 draft.
Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything.
It's simply a case
of bitterness. Nothing more.
I'm guessing
their point is that Pujols was already so good, that he only played one year in the minors, moving from low A to AAA in that year, which means there probably wasn’t a lot of developing occurring, or “mentoring”, or whatever.

Ludwick had already played in the majors
before being signed to the minor league deal by st. louis. calling him homegrown would be like calling gotay home grown if he gets called up this year.
also, i’m not sure freese should be considered homegrown since he was traded from san diego. sure, he spent most of the last two seasons on the memphis roster, but he’s not really a product of st. louis’ system.
indoctrinated into the Cardinal way
HOMEGROWN
cough, but yeah, Freese’s not technically out of our farm

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
IMO
If the player in question has not played a game above AA when acquired, then that player gets the “homegrown farm system” designation.
In fact, I could even take it one step further: What’s the point of homegrown talent? Low-cost, cost-controlled players, right? So in that sense, even if you trade away your best player that you can’t sign as a free agent for another team’s best AAA prospect who doesn’t have MLB service time, you’re essentially doing what “homegrown” talent is designed to do — provide you with low-cost, high-upside young talent to replace or supplement aging, overpriced veteran talent.
Can Colby round out our new MV3?
I think I agree
also, it’s more than fair to claim that the Cards system should take a good deal of credit for Freese and Wainwright. Waino was not considered an A-prospect when we got him (probably more in line with the Garcia/Lynn types that we have now) and blossomed into a true ace with #1 talent entirely in our system.
Freese was considered likely to be a AAAA-type guy with very low ceiling, who indeed looked too old and too mediocre to be even considered much of a propsect at all when we got him, as (I think) a 24-year-old in high-A ball. That he quickly developed into a guy who looks likely to be a league-average starter at a fairly premium position after we traded for him and then jumped him quickly into AAA has to reflect a good deal of credit on our scouting & minor-league development.

So, does anyone know
if a player (such as Yadi) opens the season on the disabled list, must they be on it for 15 days? I guess I’m wondering if the 15-day DL can be backdated into ST, so that someone can be put on it and stay for only a week or so? I would guess not but don’t really know.
According to
A club may make the placement of a player on either list retroactive to the last date on which he played, up to a maximum backdating of 10 days.
I assume those 10 days can run into spring training, but I don’t know, and can’t find anywhere else that says any more about it.
by WyoCardsFan on Mar 31, 2010 11:18 AM EDT up reply actions
March 26 this year
is the earliest a DL can be backdated per something I read recently. The backdating has been used in the past few years when players started on the DL (Glaus & Garcia in 09, Carp in 08). Yadi would miss the first four games if he was DL’d, then healthy enough to play when the 15 days ran out.
that explains why
Berkman was only back-dated to the 26th and will be available Apr 10, at the earliest.

Nats aren't this bad
The Nats lineup suffers from missing their biggest hitters, i.e., Dunn and Zimmerman. And in addition to Willingham, they have Ian Desmond who won the SS position this Spring. He posted this line in AAA last year:
.354 .428 .461 .889
The rest of their regular line up clocks in at almost exactly average: Kennedy, Morgan, and Harris. And I-Rod is below average these days.
But, all in all, potentially they have four above average guys, mixed in with 4 perfectly average guys. The Cards, by contrast, basically have five above-average guys, supported by three league average hitters. Admittedly, our above-average guys provide much more premium than theirs.
My point, though, is that the Nats are progressing, despite the line-up they are running out today.
So says, Titus Pullo (formerly The Dude)
i was just about to say
that the Nats’ hitting wasn’t their problem last year — their defense was. But they beat me to making the point.
Yep. They scored a lot of runs last year IIRC
pitching is still dreadful though. It’s a shame Zimmerman (Jordan) is out this year because I think they could’ve been very marginal wild card contenders this year if he was around (assuming they still sign Marquis, Lannan continues defying gravity, which is probably unlikely, and Strasburg gets a mid-year callup).

nationals competing
that’s scary
"Franklin has no patience for bloggers who believe because he pitches to contact, his start last season was something of a fluke."
in 2011 they will
they’ll have at least $10m to spend on a 1B or LF with Dunn departing (probably more) and I’d bet they’ll spend that more sensibly than they did on Dunn, and they should have a rotation that goes Strasburg, Zimmermann, Lannan, plus two or three other decent young arms – Bradley Meyers and Aaron Thompson look good bets to turn into league-average arms sooner rather than later, and there’s Drew Storen too (although I dunno if he’ll be up by 2011).
They’ll have a good, young nucleus in the field, too – Zimmermann at 3B, Desmond at SS, Morgan at CF, Willingham in RF, and a ton of money to spend shoring up the holes they’ll likely have at 2B, LF, possibly C if their top catching prospect (Norris, I think?) isn’t up by then, and any arms they might need.

so you're saying Stav is our catcher

wow. weird 1st inning.
skip reaches on error, boog bunt single, pujols grounds into double play, putting skip on third. walk to holliday. stav hits a two-run error to the outfield; skip & holliday(!) score. walk to rasmus. freese grounds out to end the inning with two on.

Re: LaRue's injury
If it was a real game, he probably wouldn’t have injured his hand since he would have been in position (or at least better position) to make a play on the runner.
Ryan’s throw was on the money and probably in time to get him, but LaRue was positioned a couple feet behind the plate (as if he were ceding the score).

speaking of pennies...
my office is having something called a “penny war” in which people deposit pennies in either the white sox container or the cubs container. you can diminish the other teams pennies by putting silver coins or paper money in the opposite team’s container, which subtracts from the penny total. basically, all the money goes to the chicago food repository, but I’ve noticed those nasty cubs fans have put two $5s in the Sox container, which will make it near impossible for the sox to win this virtual contest. I am contemplating putting a $5 in the cubs container…

Rotoworld just puts information together from other sources
and draws their own conclusions, usually. The link they give directs to a Bernie column, and it says:
And we know that Tony La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan aren’t keen on rookie catcher Bryan Anderson, who isn’t defensively ready to be a big-league catcher.
So I have no idea how the hell that led them to conclude that Bryan Anderson was going to be the backup w/ LaRue out.

No clear winner?
Really? You wouldn’t take the guy who actually has more than one walk and is slugging 70 points higher?
What’s more likely, Stav hitting .373 all year or Craig having a .70 isolated patience and an 8% walk rate?
Seems to me, Craig is winning this competition hands down.
Can Colby round out our new MV3?
and so is that .373
four is actually looking at longer term and not at the SSS
"Come test me every day if you want," says Pujols, "Everything I ever made in this game I would give back to the Cardinals if I got caught."
Exactly,
which is why you can’t say that Stavinoha is having the better spring. Craig’s metrics and skills are much better, are in line with what he’s done in the minor leagues, and are repeatable over 500 AB’s, not just 100 spring ones.
SSS or not, Craig is clearly the better hitter of the two, and defensively this isn’t even a close competition. There’s absolutely no reason to think that Stavinoha makes our ballclub better than Allen Craig or Joe Mather does.
Can Colby round out our new MV3?
How I wish that TLR would think the same way
Poor Stav, not many fans. Some players are just cut out to be for AAAA.
born Dodger blue, now dyed Cardinals red
i wouldn't have one bad thing to say about him if they would just leave him at memphis.
emergency OF depth? sure. regular 5th OF? no. as a comp, i don’t have anything bad to say about mark shorey, and i doubt there’s much difference between the two.
same thing with pags. i don’t dislike him because he’s not a great catcher. i just get frustrated at seeing him played or promoted over other candidates.

My parents are part of the cardinals crew
And when Ray king was here he liked going to
the casino so my parents would go with him. He asked them to watch his escalade when he was on road trips and said he wouldn’t care if we drove it but they declined because I come from a family of 10 kids so needless to say there was no room to park it at our house. When found out we all wanted to beat the tar out of our parents

It actually had a fully staffed Krispy Kreme store inside.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
He was actually decent the first half
I refered to him as “Two Cans”, as in carrying two cans of gasoline to the mound, just in case the first one didn’t work. He did so much damage every time he went out there. And that isn’t simply hyperbole; I ran the numbers back then and he either got no outs, allowed a run to score, put a guy on who scored, or some combination thereof, like, 80-90% of the time in the second half.
Plus, I miss the awesome post on Cardnilly that was a diary of a day in the life of “Burger” King.

interesting
Mindy Lawton — she’s the Perkins waitress, for those of you keeping track — also had contact with Woods’ inner circle, according to Seal. Lawton and Woods carried on an affair that was apparently caught on camera by the National Enquirer. When Lawton told Woods that The National Enquirer was aware of their “interaction,” he connected her with his agent, Mark Steinberg. Lawton said Steinberg told her, “We’ll take care of it.” That “taking care of it” allegedly included Woods suddenly giving an uncharacteristic cover-story interview to the Enquirer’s sister publication Men’s Fitness. When reached on Thursday by Yahoo! Sports, IMG declined comment on the Vanity Fair story.
This backs up my contention that the press had be complicit on some level.

holliday is passing notes to adam wainwright, written on pictures of his head.
Tucked inside his batting helmet was a little mugshot of Holliday, complete with a tiny little caption that Holliday wrote: "Hi Adam". That floating head in Wainwright’s batting helmet nearly matches the other floating Holliday head that the left fielder attached to Wainwright’s locker. Holliday affixed that one to a photo of Wainwright’s family. So, apparently Holliday is slowly rolling out an elaborate prank … or he has an excess amount of head shots that he’s trying to get rid of.

I like Britain. But then again, I like lots of places. I don’t like all Americans, or all American ideals, and I don’t like everything and everyone about Britain either.
I find the concept of being “proud” of your nation a bit daft, but I have to admit that at times if people are bashing the UK for whatever reason I do find I step in and say something, so there must be some element of that pride somewhere (or it might just be a sense of fair play – I find that America and Americans are often misunderstood and poorly tarred with a litany of stereotypes and misunderstandings here, too, and am often quick to defend you guys and your culture). Maybe it’d be better to say that I like the good things about (insert country/people/region here) but that that affinity is not necessarily tied up in a wider national/regional identity or pride.
So there ya go. I’m not really into nationalism by any stretch of the imagination.

does your friend know that yet?
i wonder what my friends would say if i tried to explain to them where i was going and why.
"Did you just grow a mustache?"
"While SPINNING."
She knows.
I don’t know she feels about it.

I would think that it is Hendry, Minaya seems more like a puppet than a GM. Hendry, the ugy in control, has just been awful. Ill take Hendry, but they both probably get fired at the end of the season.

i guess minaya could fire manuel in a blame game
hendry probably doesn’t have that option with piniella, and so would probably have to take the fall himself.

it's nice to know they are already in mid-season form
TLR indicated that as long as it doesn’t appear that Blake Hawksworth will be out a long time, they probably won’t place him on the DL. If Hawksworth were to be unavailable for, say, the first series in Cincinnati, chances are they would just go with 11 pitchers for the first few days.
So I predict Hawksworth misses at least the first 10 games of the season. Yeah, it’ll be nice to see the team playing short-handed right out of the freakin gate.
I also nominate a new nickname for Blake for those times he stinks it up:

I listened to a Fresh Air interview about staph the other night.
In bed. It kept me awake.

Yep.
Staph is everywhere. The moral of the story is that you should never have your skin broken. Ever. Especially in a hospital.

there was an outbreak in my office last year.
three affected; two ended up in the hospital
"Did you just grow a mustache?"

i can’t tell. i have no idea if that’s common or not. i’d never even heard of staph infection before that. it only affected the attorneys. probably b/c they have weak immune systems already, what with all the long hours and boozing.
"Did you just grow a mustache?"
"While SPINNING."
did they share a locker room?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
no, but the two men who got it were on a business trip together the week before.
but the female partner who got it, she doesn’t even work in the sme group as the two men. her office isn’t even near theirs. so she could have been a coincidence.
"Did you just grow a mustache?"
"While SPINNING."
or an affair
maybe even a threesome
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
the thought has crossed my mind
but we’re talking about: 1) a very hot young male attorney, 2) a very old male senior partner, and 3) a new female partner who is way too busy to even know people’s names.
"Did you just grow a mustache?"
"While SPINNING."
She probably got it at the gym.
Or maybe they ran into each other in the kitchen.
You can read it in any tone you like.
It's more common at gyms, schools, locker rooms, hospitals.

listen all i got here is internet radio.
so far they have played bon jovi, aerosmith, and fucking bryan adams. i’m pretty sure these songs are only 15 years old. i was hoping for like steve miller band, the who..you know, actual classic rock.

I think music should be at least 20 years old before it's considered "classic."

n all reality, the Cardinals won’t go with three catcher’s unless the third is a waiver wire pickup, a trade or a free agent signing. Matt Pagnozzi and Bryan Anderson, the next two possible catchers in line for a spot, were optioned to Triple-A Memphis and can’t be on the opening day roster per major league rules unless they are replacing someone on the disabled list.

"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
wait what
Every time he went to the plate Wednesday, Adam Wainwright brought a little Matt Holliday with him. Quite literally.
Tucked inside his batting helmet was a little mugshot of Holliday, complete with a tiny little caption that Holliday wrote: "Hi Adam". That floating head in Wainwright’s batting helmet nearly matches the other floating Holliday head that the left fielder attached to Wainwright’s locker. Holliday affixed that one to a photo of Wainwright’s family. So, apparently Holliday is slowly rolling out an elaborate prank … or he has an excess amount of head shots that he’s trying to get rid of.
Either way, that’s a little detail to delay the talk of Wainwright’s outing today in a 9-6 loss to the Washington Nationals.

the top five were J.D. Drew, Eric Chavez, Rick Ankiel, Glaus, and Brad PennyAm I the only one who finds it odd that 4 of the five have come through our doors and that 2 of the top 3 were in our system at one time… Trippy

What in the hell are you rambling about?

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
im sure im in the minority in
a) i desperately dont want my friendship with this guy (a friend since i was 15) to deteriorate into nothing.
and
b) any attempt i make at re-knewing a friendship is merely an attempt at enlarging my own ego to him. Basically I can’t be right here and yet I want him to acknowledge that this conflict is BS.
to
I guess that;s that and im hoping that veb sends me in an agreeable path towards resolution.

I go away to read one article on the Rams
and come back to Bizzaro VEB I have no clue what’s going on around here.

sorry
cliffnotes:
a) my friend wants to go camp during his spring break
b) none of us have time to go camping during his spring break; he takes this as us not wanting to hang out with him
c) i invite him to a concert in the stl (90 minutes from his current home in como); he takes this as an insult that we want him to hang out with him on our terms and not on the terms of his free time (despite repeated invitations to hang out).
d) a mutual buddy invites us both to come over and drink; he doesn’t talk to me despite my best efforts.
e) i get upset that a friend of a half a decade and 25% of my life can’t accept that sometimes thing don’t revolve around his life and that despite his grievances become too much for the rest of us to manage.
But this is already enough drunken BS. I just want him to handle his own insecurities like an adult and not have to play stupid games,
Did any of you slightly older posters deal with this as you and your friends staggered into adulthood? I guess thats what i want to know.

yes, and they are no longer my friends
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
i'm happier without their BS in my life, i've got enough of my own to deal with
i say f that dude slu, you’ll thank me later. i’m a cold hearted mofo. i have one rule, if you’re loyal to me, i’m loyal to you. if you need anything i’m down, whether it be helping you move, or helping you get rid of a body. but the second you cross me & start pulling BS it’s over pal.

you're looking at the total comments, look at the VEB comments

User ID's
SBN used to give them out. they stopped in late 08 i think. it’s now used as a badge of honor to prove you’ve been around for a long time. that’s actually pretty high number, i guess i was the 1005th person to make a VEB ID. i’m pretty sure i was a member before august of that year, i swear i was commenting that spring but whatevs. i’ll stick with it.

i don't know why they stopped giving them out, when did you sign up?
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
july 09, but a separate VEB account I signed up with in june 08
didn’t have one, that account was when I lurked very little and never commented so I just ditched it.
uh, they stopped doing it way before i thought

Sometimes you just have to cut them loose and when they grow up and stop acting like assholes, they'll come back

You should just stop trying.
He clearly doesn’t want you to try right now and it’s not worth it. If he wants to be your friend he’ll figure out he has to do something. If he doesn’t do anything that’s his problem.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?

a man aught not look at another man's wife
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
she's a model
she wants to be looked at.

Belief that success is inevitable is as likely to hold you back as a belief that it is impossible.
