Game 6 Overflow Thread

PrintI'm struck by the way some players can rapidly endear themselves to us. Joe Mather's a good player but, outside of that circus catch, hasn't done much to date. But we love him. David Freese has fumbled a few balls to start the season but hasn't really done much to date. But we hate him. We love Colby. We don't love Stavinoha. We love Allen Craig. We don't love Shane Robinson.
Is this a product of increased coverage of the minors? Is it a creation of statistics giving us a forewarning as to who is going to be a good player? I'm not sure but I find it interesting as far as fan psychology goes.
Go Cards!
[Az edit: As a clarification, when I use the word "hate" above, which in retrospect I wouldn't, I don't mean that fans are building effigies or the like. I was trying to convey what seems to be a predetermined mindset or prejudice toward some players. I don't actively "hate" any of these players in the visceral sense; more that I'm predisposed to disgruntlement when I see them on the field.]

I've loved Joey Bombs ever since he was in Springfield
We chanted “Let’s Go Joe!” every time he was up to bat in a clutch situation. I can’t count the times that he won the game for us.
Still only down 2
Of course, we’re going to have to go to the bullpen at some point

this maybe nothing
but i see after his 2 extended times with non-game activity, his fastball was down at least mile per hr in his second start compared to his first. It may be nothing but I am looking for whatever optimism i can find
"I told you, I don't like to be manhandled!"
he had the extra day too, right?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
yeah, i'm not sure which way it goes
the rest or the rhythm. i’m just hoping they didn’t think he needed the rest..

you’re reading too much into it
He's bounced several balls well in front of the plate
like he’s losing his mechanics. Something doesn’t seem right about the delivery.

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
no, he got it out of the glove fast
if he was dawdling, it was while the ball was in flight. I’d rather he catch the ball first than be moving around and risk a drop.

he got it out of the glove
but he was lazy in getting back and catching the ball with some forward momentum. that base just should never be given up on that ball.

yeah, but we don't know if he had a bead on the ball before he reared back
s’all I’m saying. we may see it as lazybones, but maybe he was trying to get the ball.
besides, he was almost back to the wall.

stop freaking out
let him get the bad pitching out of his system now
and he’ll be so mad he’ll dominate the rest of the season
Telling people to stop freaking out in a game thread
when your #1 pitcher is throwing 85mph two-seamers is probably not going to be very effective.
You can read it in any tone you like.
we know what he's capable of
he’s allowed an abysmal day like that
and we ain’t exactly scoring runs
I do not think
the majority of us are freaking out about an abysmal day.
Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
i agree he's allowed to be "off" or whatever
but with Carp the worry factor is always about much much more important things than one bad game. He’s set the bar so high that when he’s off it tends to be jarring. Couple that with his injury history…
glad to see TLR going with Miller here. Rest up Carp, check the video and come back healthy Friday (or whenever)

isn't that part of the reason we got our new stadium
or at least that was the rationale at the time
Think; It's not illegal yet.
Nope
I bet it has nothing to do with the stadium. Hunter wasn’t worth 90M and the risk for a small market team on Santana was way too high. Mauer being the 2nd best player in baseball getting 2nd-tier star money at 184 is something they had to do.

no, what'd he say?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Oh god, I don't know.
He was also saying that Prince Fielder was more athletic than Albert, so I just started laughing.
You can read it in any tone you like.
He probably is in some aspects
He can hit the ball a lot farther than Albert. Josh Smith is also more athletic than Tim Duncan.
Not afraid to nitpick
Is hitting the ball far better?
You just need to get it over the fence.
You can read it in any tone you like.
Fielder almost certainly hits the ball harder when he makes contact
And has more “raw” power. I think most people would say that’s being more athletic as a hitter vs. Albert being 100x more skilled. It’s all semantics.
Not afraid to nitpick
But if we're going to
do a comparison of athletic traits, Prince maybe gets that one edge. Albert is faster, better at defense, a better contact hitter, not fat, etc. So to say that he is more athletic than Albert is silly.
Besides, I bet Albert could swing like Prince and hit the ball a country mile. It’s just not his game.
You can read it in any tone you like.
Right I think Joe was just saying Fielder has to be more athletic as a hitter to be good with his swing mechanics
Whereas Albert has an easier road because he has a better swing. It was a backwards compliment to Albert anyway.
Not afraid to nitpick
something about albert
opening up to get his dominant right eye behind the swing. Like spants said, it was funny

That’s in “feet off of center”, so that’s a good half a foot outside of the strike zone.
According to my data, fastballs from a RHP to RHH with similar coordinates get called a strike roughly 2% of the time in 2009. What a shitty call.

Why spend an extra $400k
on a pitcher who might be worth an extra 2 runs over the course of the season. I hate our bullpen as much as anyone but I’m don’t think these marginal relievers really upgrade the team at all.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
2 runs in a tie game is 2 wins
IE, worth $7-9M.
Well the girls would turn the color of the avocado when he would drive down the street in his El Dorado... -the modern lovers
That's not what I mean and you know it.
If you want to account for leveraging then go ahead but we’re still talking about a marginal upgrade of the bullpen.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
then what did you mean?
We’re a good team, on the verge of possibly being a great team. To do that, we need to win these 1-run games.
The best way to do that is with a good bullpen, which we clearly don’t have.
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'm talking about on paper.
I’m not even sure how you would assess a player on a game to game basis who is only 2-3 runs better than another player. You can’t assume that those runs come in leverage situations that mean the difference between a win and a loss.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
so on paper
you make the “marginal” upgrades. If that’s how you see it.
Anyway, I’m not railing against you, in particular; it’s just that i have very strong feelings that the sabermetric community seriously underrates the value of good relievers. I’m not sure how exactly they should be valued, but I really think the current analysis doesn’t value them correctly.
This is very similar to the conversation regarding the Holliday error in the NLDS. Not catching that ball was really not that big of a deal, sabermetrically, but we win the game if he catches it, and we ended up losing it. Is that a full (-) WAR against H? maybe someday we’ll have metrics with that level of granularity- and when we do, I’ll be shocked if they don’t tell us that what we think about reliever in 2010 is flat-out wrong.
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 wouldn't consider him marginal
if he performs like he did for Tampa Bay in 2008. 2.12 ERA in 68 games. Not sure if he can produce like that again though.
Not disagreeing with you, but just wondering aloud if he is marginal or a pretty good upgrade.
by Ghostrider520 on Apr 11, 2010 11:36 PM EDT up reply actions
What all does that take into account?
As in how do they project stats for a pitcher who is a free agent?
I’d certainly think his projections playing in the AL would be worse than if he was pitching in the NL.
Probably not a huge difference, but I’m just wondering.
by Ghostrider520 on Apr 11, 2010 11:39 PM EDT up reply actions
It's going to be based on his component stats
rather than his 2009 ERA. His 2009 FIP (remember that previous year FIP is more predictive of current year ERA than previous year ERA is) was 3.77. After aging curves, he’s going to project at 4.00 even in the NL Central. Thats 3-4 runs over 60 IP replacing a 4.50 “ERA” true talent reliever.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
Thanks for helping me understand.
I still think he’s a good option if no one at Memphis proves worthy and if the current right side of the bullpen can’t get it together.
I definitely see your point about investing half a million or more in a pitcher who doesn’t make the bullpen substantially better.
by Ghostrider520 on Apr 11, 2010 11:47 PM EDT up reply actions
If I was Mozeliak,
and I think it’s fair to assume that he’s under some nasty budget constraints this year, I’d patch the bullpen up with people in the minors (Salas, Sanchez, etc) and save what little budget room I have to take on payroll in case of a serious injury.
That’s just me though.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
Any chance the Cardinals use the cash from Baltimore
to upgrade the bullpen for “free”?
Let’s say they get a million or so in cash considerations from the Orioles. Does Mo pocket that money or spend it?
by Ghostrider520 on Apr 11, 2010 11:51 PM EDT up reply actions
Assuming they don't get a PTBNL instead.
by Ghostrider520 on Apr 11, 2010 11:51 PM EDT up reply actions
It all depends on what level of confidence they have in their minor leauge options
they’re already paying those players some portion of the league minimum. I’d like to hope that if the right reliever presented itself or if they didn’t have confidence in Sanchez/Salas, they’d get a reliever from the outside. I don’t think that hinges on Baltimore’s cash though.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
Yeah, it definitely doesn't hinge on it.
I was just thinking ahead and wondering if they’d be more inclined to spend some money if it was “free money”.
by Ghostrider520 on Apr 11, 2010 11:54 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't know who they'd really send down though
13 man bullpen no thanks and I don’t see TLR sending down Hawk/KMac/Motte and Boggs has more potential than any of those guys IMO. Maybe if Motte botches another game they could justify it.
Not afraid to nitpick
Hawksworth would have to pass through waivers.

I don't trust McClellan or Hawksworth at all
but I agree that they seem to be “Tony’s guys” for whatever reason. Motte is fun to watch but without the pinpoint command of the fastball in the minors, he’s not going to be more than a middle reliever.
I guess it just worries me that we have no one in the pen who combines sufficient stuff with sufficient command to not constantly walk a fine line of disaster.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
I don't terribly mind that for the regular season
As the rest of our team is so strong. For the playoffs I think acquring a shutdown reliever is more important, and I have faith that Mo will be able to do that at the deadline.

Exactly
I don’t think the ‘pen is bad enough to cost us the playoffs barring injury (and if there is a serious injury we’ve got bigger problems than the ’pen) but not having a single reliever who can deliver 95 mph regularly at the strike zone bothers me for October.
Not afraid to nitpick
you serious?
that’d be nice
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
It results in this dread,
that if the starter is out after six innings, the calculus of TLR bullpen management means we are rolling the dice of disaster three separate times. Eeek.

they just want to be acknowledged.
the thing is, if we really, really love baseball… okay, I’m a purist, but the older you get, the more you see that anything is possible in baseball.
if Red Schoendienst is still saying he’s seeing things he’s never seen before, then we know fuck-all about what could happen on a baseball diamond. flaunting that we are absolutely sure what’s going to happen next = tempting the GOB.

it's not hard. just stop the premature posting.
especially when it’s about guaranteeing the Cardinals winning.
for instance this is prefaced with “”http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/2010/4/11/1416222/game-6-overflow-thread#34471667" >I hope", meaning it’s not a guarantee.
whereas this is prefaced with ahhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahah, meaning we are mocking the pain of our opponent before the game has concluded. The Gods of Baseball made it nine innings on purpose.
everything is fair game once the game is over. everything during the game BELONGS TO THE GOB.

Award time...
As I mentioned yesterday I like the idea of giving out awards for the game. In it’s first full fledged appearance here we go…
The Joe Morgan Memorial Award for Ineptitude in Color Commentary goes to Joe Morgan for his Small Market vs. Big Market ramblings.
The Everlast Award for Best Punch Thrown goes to Prince Fielder after his Fat Z like meltdown in the dugout… lose some weight buddy I’m starting to notice a pattern amongst the hefty all-stars.
The Ruby Red Slipper Award for Most Egregious Swinging Out of Shoes goes to Prince Fielder for obvious reason.
The Freeze-Pop Award for Most Outstanding Play by a Young Player goes to somebody named Craig for his first major league hit.
The Mother of God Award for Transcendent Display of Baseball Talent goes to APu for being rediculous… 3 hits with 2 homers…
Congratulations to all the winners.

Never count this team out… the offense is too good
RH side of pen is still shakey at best (Hawk looked decent though)
McGahee is still a Cardinals killer
Carp is human but the Mang is still a machine

Freese/3B is still a bit of a worry, although I think he’ll get the hang of it

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I blame Adam Kennedy.
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!"

Man, VEB is through the roof right now
I’m a relatively old VEB member (just to be clear, not meant to be a UID brag – I’ve had a long-term bit part, like the Sidney Freedman character on MASH; man, that show kicked ass), and I can’t recall early season game threads being nearly so active; and I’m not talking about the can-we-get-to-2000-comments-2000-comment-thread from yesterday. Is VEB (and maybe SBN generally) just getting that popular? Are Cards fans extra jazzed about Pujols/Holliday and Carp/Wainwright? Is it the bacon? The unicorns? The pegacorns?

i'll listen for you
for some reason i always hear one loud fan
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
the one nearest the mike i suppose
i watch every game on mlb.tv and have noticed i can always make out one particular fan
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
i almost typed that myself
but my mind was blown
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."

i guess
anything really off-color is deleted by the mods.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
is this a serious request?
english is probably not your first language, but you seem to have it down pat. i’ll gladly explain if that’s not sarcasm, though.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
off-color means risque, but a little elevated
usually it’s something of a sexual commen, but off-color can be racial – you can often hear the term “off-color joke” (polish jokes, thus, don’t qualify…unless they are dirty, i guess)
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
so basically back to
no politics, no religion
no gay (i learned that the hard way)
and basically behave yourself a little
thanks for explaining
understandable
we don’t want to scare away die-hards from commenting and posting i guess

Pagz returns
C Jason LaRue to be examined today in STL after sustaining R. hamstring strain Sunday. Educated guess is a roster move’s coming. #stlcards

or if this is going to be a simple pagz up, larue to dl move.

how many times will that be typed "salsa"?

that dude from the stray cats? but he can't pitch or catch!
"We were men - flesh and blood - and we played baseball in the sunshine. We hit doubles off the wall, slid hard into second base. We had fights, and we made love. We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives." Buck O'Neil, from "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America."
Carp hmm
kinda worrisome tonight, probably just bad start though. Freese D is also worrisome, but he seems to handle himself pretty well at the plate. I like Lopez at 2B

because we must face the abominable astros next
I will be mad if we don’t win our 3rd straight series in a row! I wonder if it will be another 2 win one loss sequence (hopefully a sweep?)

if we continue this 2 win one loss series wins... im down
i mean… that’s 108 wins….

we may just split the 4 game series. 100 wins is not impossible

Carp looked quite bad,
not quite up to normal velocity, took several pitches to get into the effective zone, and then spent little time there before losing his control again.
I'm one of those "I don't care how you killed the cow; just serve me a great steak" guys. If the results are logical and easy to understand, I'm pouring some A1 sauce on that formula and eating it. UZR qualifies. -Bill Simmons

i was gonna recruit guys to talk baseball, but they all wanted to be paid. i have no idea what these gals will do.
