First AB would have been real close

to the wall in Busch (and several other places), last one almost broke 3B hand, one of his grounders was juuuuust in reach of SS, other one hit sharply to 2B. He was centering better tonight. He’s probably still frustrated, but those all looked better than those mile high pop-ups he’s been hitting.

lots of historical reasons why french fell

gotta blame the british for being pretty slow to mobilize post poland, germany’s superior tactics and technology, conflict wasn’t as one sided once french adapted(anti tank tech and extensions to defensive line), maginont line was smart strategic decision to act as bulwark against traditional german army threat(militaries always fighting the last war), no us material support, etc. etc.

Great summary

On the FSMW post-game they showed clips from a brawl in the ’80’s involving Horton. His bud from the other team (sorry, it’s getting late and I can’t remember the player or team), who he’d been in a Bible study with earlier that day, grabbed him from behind and told him “Rick, it’s me, I’m just goin’ to hug you” So Horton thinks everything is cool when Whitey sees them, grabs the other player and throws him to the ground and he takes Horton with him. Horton later is fined $500 for fighting when it was his own manager that threw him to the ground.

(He did say the fine was overturned later)

I was wondering about this

what’s to say he’s only going to throw one inning at a time? If he can come in and pitch 2-3 high leverage innings 3 times a week, does that qualify as not totally crazy? (I wouldn’t do it either, I’m just trying to figure what the fuck Piniella is thinking.)

It'll all depend if he has that extra 'gear'

I think. If he can ramp the fastball up 3 mph, and maybe add some extra snap onto his breaking pitches, going in short stretches… I still don’t think it adds value to the team. But their ‘pen has been horrible, so I can sort of see the ’why’ behind it.

by Voxx on Apr 22, 2010 1:29 AM EDT up reply actions  

If he had extreme pitch count issues, and had trouble working past the 5th

This could be a brilliant move. But….he’s generally a pretty solid innings eater, even if prone to some meltdowns..on the mound, and in the dugout. I just don’t get it. Oh wells. LOL CUBS?

Finally, you might want to see how this actually shakes out in real games before you condemn it based on spreadsheet analysis. Last I saw, no spreadsheet ever won a baseball game"

i watched the video and i don't think carp was particularly aggressive at second with stephen drew.

it may have sent a message but it didn’t seem seriously likely to knock him down. based on the comments, i thought he nearly bowled him over. that was more a brushback pitch than a beanball

part of the liveblog fail

is they stayed with the runner at first base, and then the benches cleared, and then it was quite a while before we got any footage.

our guys in the truck wouldn’t be this inept.

I don't either.

I think the Arizona announcers overreacted a bit when they implied that had the play been closer Drew would have been seriously injured and it sounded to me like they said carried out on a stretcher.

well, if the play had been closer,

that was exactly Carp’s intent.

I just feel bad.

They’re literally going to finish behind the Pirates at this rate. They’re the new Royals.

Actually, they resemble the Mets in several ways:

1. Huge salary with little to nothing to show for it. The Mets did this by getting injured (Beltran, Reyes, Santana maybe) or just misallocating (K-Rod, Oli) the money in the first place. The Cubs signed a lot of their contracts during a big run-up in salaries and signed several players past their primes (Nearly $19M for Zambrano is as stupid as moving one of your best starters to the bullpen. Doing both? That’s…something).

2. Awful Managers. Jerry Manuel is one of the most backward managers in baseball. It’s no wonder he adores Jeff Francoeur, because the two of them are essentially soul mate brain twins in an interracial buddy cop movie that only exists in their minds. Lou Pinella, well, I hate to talk about the mental health of someone I hardly know, but is he losing his god damn mind?

3. Terrible General Managers. The meme is that Minaya and Moore are duking it out for worst in baseball, but Wade and Hendry could definitely give them a run for their money. Speaking of money, when you spend this goddamn much of it, you should at least get something for it. It’s painful, really.

4. Crappy Farms. Sterling Castro just isn’t going to save this team. Ike Davis could really help in NY, but probably not yet. And what else is there? At least most teams that are terrible for long periods of time compensate by building up lots of minor league talent. Where did the years go?

5. Players under performing. Sure, things are bad now, but are the Mets really going to end up dead last in the East? There are the Nationals to beat up on, after all. And, just because your opening day starter has a crappy ERA after four games doesn’t mean you should flip the fuck out and make the dumbest rotation move of the century. Tom Gorzelanny sucks. He has always sucked. Just pick someone up or trade for someone for christ’s sakes. Don’t you have hard-throwing AAAA right handers that you can call up for this sort of situation?!
