I think the Cards get the choice.

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.

Why risk sending people into space?

Why risk trying the 10-alarm hot sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings?

Because we are human and we’ve conquested the world through sheer risk-taking and brass-balling and these small conquests like early season CGSHOs keep us attuned to that important and admirable trait.

In short, try for the CGer because you damn well can.

I hope you aren't offended, vt...

I’m just saying it’d be cool to see them go for the CG. A win is a win, I know, but a team can rally behind those ‘personal’ glories. I used apostrophes there because, despite Wainwright getting the CG in his statbook, everybody on the field and off knows it’d be a team success and celebrate it as one.

Again, whatever…Motte did well and Wainwright didn’t risk his arm exploding. A win’s a win, right? Next time I’ll just leave it at ‘CG for Waino?’

It's a weird pitch. No one thinks he knows what will happen when it leaves his hand.

Gameday is probably misclassifying.

Motte may be better when he throws less hard

Seems to me that he gets the ball up more when he fires it in there. He can throw low fastballs if he takes a little off ’em.

3-21 (Waino & Freese doubled)
0R 0RBI 3BB 2K

I’d call that fluky….I think we also shouldn’t be too quick to anoint Ludwick the #2 hitter for the rest of the year, although Tony will probably use some variant of this Ludwick/2nd lineup pretty regularly against lefties this season….

maybe i’ll do a post on it – i was with the hitting coach of u of miami is where it began, and how he was opening guys stances or not depending on eye dominance, a la luddy. we spent about a week together in the cages (i throw) and he gave me a lot of lit on it, but those pages are in chicago and i need to figure out where it came from.

Its not that big of a deal if you are confident in your reaction time, which I am. I dont see why old men pitch though, their reaction times are too slow.

Size isn’t everything in softball either. I’d put my buddy who is the exact same size as me (6’ ~170) up against anyone. Freakin sweet swing.

Had a 10-year old single-wall aluminum bat (Read: Piece of junk) that I’m finally retiring. I called her the “Dinger Bringer.” Gonna get either a DeMarini Juggernaut or a DeMarini “The One” (both once’s a -6, one’s a -4). Swung a friend’s DeMarini J2 all last year and lookin to invest in one.

Current favorite in naming is “Sally”

honestly, that's a marginal difference

beckett k’s more, and porcello doesn’t, but i feel like the difference is slight esp. given porcello’s upward projectability and beckett’s downward trend(see opening day). however, soto + mclouth for mccann should nullify the deal straight up. mccann is the 2nd best catcher for fantasy, 25 hr talent and such.

okay, so what if soto becomes an average catcher, you're trading

brian mccann, who if not for mauer’s explosion last year, could make a legit claim to being the number 1 catcher. You have to assume that Beckett does not regress at all and for some reason a 20 year old pitcher will DECLINE. But hey, it’s your team.

yes. catchers are extremely valuable

it’s incredibly hard to find a catcher who produces like an outfielder, is a switch hitter, and is mostly durable(as long as his eyes aren’t blurry). sure, beckett is slightly (and i think you’re underrating porcello’s potential) better than RP, but McCann > Soto+McClouth(honestly, waste of space) and it’s not even close or fair.

Bruce mashed right out the gate when he got called up, too, before cooling off considerably. He was dropped by someone, and I wouldn’t need to start him right away by any means.

colby has never been as bad as bruce, and bruce has been around longer. colby was not injured nearly as badly. just not a very good example imo

Well Bruce has more pop and a better arm, has had his stats ripped by bad luck

And was supposed to be more “can’t miss”, but Colby is faster, has a better batters eye in spite of last year and is a better fielder. Im not saying that despite different attributes Colby wouldn’t be a good over/under for Bruce. Im just saying he, unlike Colby, was tauted as a no-doubt, franchise saving franchise player who could almost single handedly turn the reds into a winner. Even if he turns out good I don’t even think he’ll be a face of the franchise player and was way overhyped. Also on the Colby front even if he’s older he’s also blossoming more quickly, bruce’s slow start has been all injuries/adjusting to the NL. Colby has had to mix those with listening to Hal McRae and is already getting over it.

how dare you try and end this conversation so short, I was enjoying it.

what I’m saying is that

Bruce can very well have a breakout season when you compare the down year of a similar prospect with injuries(j. upton)

I hope both turn out well but needless to say I have the wrong one at the moment. Also, Al called Colby smooth?!

fantasy advice nite on VEB

I’m in a bit of a pickle here Dick. I’ve got the top waiver spot and this is what I’m looking at: There’s a trade going through tonight that results in a drop of Rick Porcello. Also, Rollins got hurt tonight. Someone dropped Howie Kendrick a couple of days ago. Ive got Zobrist and could slide him over to short and plug in Kendrick for however long and then use Zobrist’s flexibility to fill in at both and occasionally start in the OF. Top it all off, some * went and dropped Rajai Davis today. My OF is probably my weakest offensive area and with Rollins out, SB’s are going to be hard to come by for me.

League is a head to head 5X5 league so no need to worry about innings caps.

With all of that said, here is my roster:

Wieters c
Howard 1b
Zobrist 2b
Rollins ss
Longo 3rd
Lind OF
Ludwick OF
Rasmus OF
Garret Jones Util
Stubbs BN
Berkman BN

Waino SP
Josh Johnson SP
Wilson RP
Nuñez RP
Aardsma P
Jenks P
Sanchez BN
Price BN
Webb BN
Bedard DL

by scoot on Apr 13, 2010 12:06 AM EDT reply actions  

reports are currently saying May

I was considering dropping Webb before Bedard because Bedard is currently throwing 60 pitches off a mound and webb isn’t even throwing 60 feet. If I had it to do over I would not have drafted 3 injured players but they were such good values and its head to head league, so August is when I need them to be their best. That still doesn’t address which of the 3 I should pick up considering what is available.

I’m leaning toward punting on steals and picking up porcello while dropping either bedard or webb.

I’d agree with Cody though, a little more coming from Kendrick.

yep, just the elbow right where i told you it hurts, no where else

the part that’s warm is right where the bicep muscle meets the elbow

and i probably can, that’s close to joplin right?

yes, i've been 200 curls 4-5 times a week since Feb

i upped the weight by 5lb on Wed, that’s when this started. and we are, but that’s where it’s warm & my bicep was a little sore but it’s fine now.

Are you using free weights or machines?

If you can get to a cable machine, do triceps pushdowns. If you’re using free weights, you can do triceps kickbacks or overhead triceps extensions with dumbbells.

You can read it in any tone you like.

by spants on Apr 13, 2010 6:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

WTF? GDM!!!

Curls are like the most useless exercise ever. Do some military press, lat pulls and the like. That’s way too many reps to be doing of any one exercise. You should only be weight training 2-3 times a week anyway. Your muscle tissue needs time to repair after break down. You have probably strained a biceps or brachialis muscle. Just don’t do anything strenuous with it for about a week. Give it time to heal. No heat on it. Ice it about 5-7 times a day for no more than 10 minutes each time and no closer than every hour. Take some ibuprofen if you can to decrease inflammation. Make sure that you arent on any meds that have adverse reactions to ibuprofen (like blood thinners).

Snake filled ponds FTW!

Big arms arent really all that functional, no matter what the girls like. But, I could give you some better suggestions for an exercise program to get you whipped into shape if you’d like. Take that week off, do some light elbow flexion exercises (curls with like 5 pound weights a couple sets of 10) and see if your pain is reproduced. For the time being, make sure that you use your arm normally, just limit it to pain free motions. If it hurts when you do something, don’t do it.

Never mind what these clowns are saying about tearing a ligament. The motions you were performing wouldn’t over stress any ligamentous structures.

He played through testicular cancer, and he hit .300 for his career.

Career slash lines: .300/.397/.446 for an .842 OPS and a 133 OPS+

Not too shabby.

In case anyone wondered….he’s .300/.397.446/.842 for his career, but only 100 homers….funny, I remembered him as a good hitter, but as more of a slugger than a contact guy.

No, but this is extremely interesting.

Even by pitch type? I would like to know the parameters.

by all4tookie on Apr 13, 2010 1:16 AM EDT up reply actions  

I broke down 2009 pitch f/x into 6 different pitch types

FF + FA = fastball, FT + SI = sinker, CH + FS = changeup, SL + FC = slider, CU = curveball, KN = knuckleball.

I then broke down the strike zone into 6 zones , and measured the number of each pitch type in each of the zones divided by total pitches. So, 4.24% of Hanson’s pitches last year were sliders in the low outside part of the strike zone, 26% were fastballs outside of the strike zone and so on.

I did that for all pitchers and compared the absolute difference of each pitch type % in each zone to that of Hanson. Joba had an absolute difference of 9.2%, Wakefeild was at 109%.

The next step is to include stuff and release points; however, those are in different units than the location numbers so I probably need to convert everything to standard deviations above average… unless you have any ideas?
