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.

IFFB is out of total fly balls

He has three IFFB, if he had two, his percentage would be 15%.

Line Drives go for hits about 75% of the time, so even if they are soft, they are going to be good hits.

by vivaelpujols on Apr 26, 2010 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Just sayin

He’s hitting .164 .270 .218 while striking out 22% of his PAs, “fine” wouldn’t quite be how I’d describe his current predicament. Lucky/not lucky doesn’t get him out of the doghouse that a Mendoza-line SLG digs you.

by mysterui on Apr 26, 2010 10:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

So you are saying that triple slash stats are more descriptive than batted ball stats?

Here is what I see:

Rasmus is swinging at more pitchers in the strike zone and fewer pitches out of the strike zone than he ever has. His batted ball profile is very similar, but nothing is falling for a hit.

The only thing worse than last year is his contact numbers, which may be a real decline, or may just be a function of facing tougher pitches.

by vivaelpujols on Apr 26, 2010 10:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Throwing out that he has been getting terrible results on contact

He’s striking out 22% of his PAs and that is horrible for someone with as little power as him. That alone means he is not fine.

And then he’s not hitting the ball with much authority on top of it.

Not afraid to nitpick

as I mentioned before

there’s before the 20 inning game, and after the 20 inning game. the spray charts and stat lines are different, and he’s getting awfully unlucky in both ‘halves’.

If i remember correctly, stav had already been used in the earlier game

i this game, we’d still have stav as an emergency catcher and we needed a left-handed hitter against moylan, who’s an extreme roogy

by Willie McGee's Twin on Apr 26, 2010 11:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

right

so tony should have pinch hit him to try to win the game, and then left him in for emergency in left field rather than having lohse.

by cardball on Apr 26, 2010 11:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

i'm not going to rehash the earlier decision; someone asked why anderson hit this time but not during the earlier game...

i pointed out that they were different situations so there’s no point in comparing. moreover, in the earlier game, when TLR was faced with yet another situation like the earlier ones, he did use Anderson, so even within the same example the logic doesn’t hold.

by Willie McGee's Twin on Apr 26, 2010 11:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

oh, when you said because it's not a tie game

i thought you meant that as a reason for the decision, not just as a random fact. because of course their was much more reason to hit him in the extras game, as the initial comment implied.

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

by cardball on Apr 26, 2010 11:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

yes, it was a reason why anderson hit where he did in this game but not in the earlier game

and we disagree about there being “much more reason” in the last game.
so again: (1) it was an obvious decision to have anderson hit in the situation he did today
(2) it was less obvious in the earlier game that he should have pinch hit (though he ultimately did).

the key differences being (1) the cards were behind in this game (2) the pinch hitting situation obviously called for a LHB given the pitcher and (3) another emergency catcher was available. if you don’t agree with these differences between the two games, we’ll just have to agree to disagree.

by Willie McGee's Twin on Apr 26, 2010 11:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

sure

but the other pitchers i believe were righties, and with bases loaded twice andersen should pinch-hit at least once, rather than the reliever batting, and try to win the damn game instead of trying to make it continue. then anderson would have been in left instead of lohse, so he could have been the catcher if need be. that was just a fuck-you moment by tony, and hilarious, until lopex went on the DL. at least lohse didn’t run into a wall or something.

We have absolutely no business winning this game.

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.

The later books are more politically themed, so if you like the war game elements of enders game and shadow, you’d probably like them. The later books that follow ender get really sci-fi. I liked ‘em but I could see how people that don’t read alot of sci-fi could dislike them.

Too me at least, are about the minimum you should get from your starter. Doesn’t kill the Bullpen, keeps you in the game, better would be nice but you really can’t complain to loudly about it.

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.

So, did Big Mac ruin Boog's swing?

I don’t know if I posted it here, but during ST, I came across an absolutely TERRIBLE video of Boog explaining his new swing. The problem was that everything he was describing was utter drivel, mechanics-wise. He was basically describing the swing of Thursty Joe.

I don’t know if all of the terrible talk came from Big Mac, but you have to wonder because it’s pretty much the conventional wisdom about hitting (which is 90% crap).

P.S. I wonder if Albert fixed himself by going back to what he knew how to do.

P.P.S Why anyone would even try to improve Albert’s swing is beyond me. At most, I’d limit myself to his approach and his ability to see balls up and low and away.

you are just breaking down what was said in spring training. You haven’t watched all of his ABs back-to-back to see if they were good ABs and if he did put agood swing on a pitch he can hit?

Remember when Big Mac ruined Holliday's swing last season

(while he was at OAK), and then Holliday was like “fuck this, I’m bringing leg kick back!” and the rest is history. Hopefully Boog will have his own epiphany soon.

That was just excellent pitching, and nothing Ryan did wrong

Taking that pitch is likely a good move as well. It’s more likely that pitch is called a ball than he gets a hit making contact with it.

No no

I’m saying he fouled off a pitch you can go the other way with on #4. #5 is good pitching, but he got himself out by not getting #4 in play.

His confidence seems shot right now. Needs to go back to what he did last year. Might see if I can get some footage to compare this year and last year.

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.

no, before that

before the past two games. hard-hit balls to shortstops robbing him. before he got dropped down the lineup, he was pissin’ grounders to third base.

but after he sat, he cut down his swinging strikes. now, sadly, they’re back, probably because he’s getting frustrated after facing Zito

the trouble is, we're looking at his SSS line from the whole month so far

for one thing, part of that month is his spring training. he made a massive adjustment after he got sat — and it’s not showing up because he’s equally unlucky.

unfortunately he’s not seeing that, he’s changing his underwear, and his old bad habits from last year are creeping back in. not his new bad habits.

and how slow Howard v. 2.0 still is, but he made a couple of great plays the other day when I saw him on….something, probably FESPN, looked relatively svelte, and had very good range. So, right now, I’d say he’s improved over what we’ve seen in recent years, at least defensively.

I don't think any club is going to value Pujols based on one bad contract.

Pujols and his agent may think that they are going to be able to use this contract but I don’t see it. And it would be nice if everyone could wait to worry until, you know, he’s actually going to be a free agent at the end of the year.

divided. But we consistently have the best choir in the state so our performing arts is very popular at our school and football players and basketball players take choir and band.

i hadn't read your other comment that debunked this yet

most of the lesbians i know are pretty down to earth, but the younger ones are who coming off some straight relationships are always butting heads with their more comfortably lesbian counterparts because they aren’t used to being in a relationship that they can’t bitch about for no reason.

Most of these girls have been in lesbian relationships through most of high school.

Lohse still has potential-

it seems possible that pairing Anderson with him is a mistake. Greene hasn’t even had an ML AB, and he has a handful of Memphis errors- probably at least another week of Boog struggling before he even gets two starts.

you could say 2008 is an outlier

but it is more likely 2009 is, considering the injuries. unless you don’t believe in dunc, etc. lohse is throwing as well this year as 2008, though. i wasn’t going to defend him until he defended himself, and he did a good job of it tonight.

he settled down after a while

he didn’t look too impressive early on, but it was raining FFS. Hudson had one wild pitch and McCann was busy keeping him from throwing three or four more. I’d like to watch another couple Lohse starts before I pass judgment.

2009 can't be an outlier

because its more in line with his career numbers. its only 8 points below his career ERA+

which might be very telling

of his improvement under dunc. the dude started out 2009 like 2008, then the injuries, and bad times. so i guess there is marked improvement. i’m willing to give dunc his due.

fangraphs did a piece on this

hey, the pitcher is still the pitcher, and has to take some responsibility. they are not all equal. but of the pitchers with whatever innings they looked at, carp has the greatest gain in gb% at over 10% and the only negative of the bunch was wellemeyer at +10%. all the others he helped to get grounders, though they didn’t go into how that correlates to wins, but it probably does.

i have no personal stake in lohse, but it bugs me when a good pitcher like he is is beaten up as if he’s wellemeyer. most of these commenters seem to think that if lohse is our 5 presently then he is the equivalent of the colonel. it’s annoying in game threads to hear it repeated when you know most of those people are just parroting something or just being negative “to be cool”. i wish they’d once discuss it in a main thread, and possibly learn something, but they always look to snipe in game threads when things are moving fast, and it’s all they “contribute”. i don’t know which is more annoying, that or the fun facts shit.

fun fact: fun facts are annoying as fuck.

but yeah, the lohse bashing is a bit egregious. the only problem is that when he sucks, he SUCKS. and he’s not jaime, so we don’t chalk up his sucking to youth. and since his topline success rate is nowhere near aw, carp, or penny, we don’t cut him enough slack. meaning, we should lower our expectations. he didn’t pitch that horribly today, just one bad inning.

but that’s been happening all season for him

i don’t think anyone compared lohse to wellemeyer, but whatever. if it helps make your point than go for it.

no worries, man. maybe i’m just tired of people proselytizing on this site so much. you can’t just comment on a pitcher without having to check baseball-reference.com to see what someone’s strikeout to walk ratio was in their last five starts or have any sort of opinion that doesn’t involve their BABIP and FIP and whatever else without someone jumping down your throat. its such a competitive environment.

i'm the guy getting jumped

because i just eyeball everything and don’t check the numbers. that’s why i ask people to disprove me with the numbers – saves a lot of research. i trust my eye more than anyone’s, but am willing to listen to reason. however, i don’t just take certain stats for granted, like this stuff on productive outs and their RE, because some dude defined what a productive out is himself, and i find fault with the definition. anyway, as my favorite bartender in new orleans says, it’s all good in the neighborhood.

not sure "squeaks by" is a fair characterization

it was, after all, a QS. I think he needed ~16 or 17 pitches to get thru his last two innings (which is when it stopped raining IIRC).

Lohse so far is our #5 starter, even if he’s getting #2-#3 money. Contract aside I’d say he’s not too shabby for a #5…..

by nota bene on Apr 27, 2010 1:03 AM EDT up reply actions  

sure

I’m just saying….we’re going to get strong years out of Carp & Waino, Penny & Garcia also look really good. All Lohse has to do is go out and eat innings and not suck. Basically be 2006 Jeff Suppan (as Mr F compared him to upthread).

by nota bene on Apr 27, 2010 1:15 AM EDT up reply actions  

we signed him as a 3

that designation will always change. next year he may well be 3 again with penny gone. it isn’t very logical, to me, to judge his pay by something so brittle as a designation that changes. compare him to other 3 starters in the league if you like, and he probably comes off better than saying we are paying a 5 that money. if he is pitching as well as most teams’ 3’s, is it his fault, and is it not our benefit, that he is presently considered 5?

plus

without looking @ FG, I’m sure we’re drastically underpaying Wainwright. So even if we are wildly overpaying Lohse, it evens out. The Lohse contract isn’t going to hurt us (much) (this year).

if i'm running a restaurant

and i hire five cooks, and they’re each going to cook in successive nights, and i’m paying one of them $20 an hour and another $100 an hour, and the $100 an hour cook sucks, but the $20 an hour cook is awesome, i can’t just say, “well, i suppose it all evens out.”

by adiueordie on Apr 27, 2010 1:47 AM EDT up reply actions  

yeah but

you can fire somebody who’s making an hourly wage. Lohse is signed to a multi-year contract, so even if they released him outright they’d still have to pay him.

Your point is well taken but I’m just saying if you look at the collective performance & cost of the rotation we’re in good enough shape that I’m not going to worry much about Lohse unless he turns into Wellemeyer/Maroth/Ponson and is truly terrible. (sorry for the run-on sentence)

by nota bene on Apr 27, 2010 1:51 AM EDT up reply actions  

don't understand that analogy

why would you pay a cook that sucks 100 and an awesome cook 20? lohse doesn’t suck. look at 2008, 2009 until he got hit, and so far this year and tell me the guy sucks. i’d say it looks like a 3 starter’s numbers.

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

by cardball on Apr 27, 2010 1:53 AM EDT up reply actions  

alright, i'll tell you lohse sucks

lohse sucks. and by suck i mean he’s a slightly above average pitcher who is extremely overpaid. didn’t we all make fun of jason marquis for what the cubs were paying him? just because lohse is slightly better and duncan is his pitching coach he should get a pass?
if lohse is your number 3, i’d hate to see your 4, let alone your 5.

as for the restaurant reference, if you don’t understand the analogy, i can’t do much to make it clearer. hourly wages be damned. its a hypothetical situation… or did i not make that clear?

i’d probably move the $100/hr cook to the salad bar or dishes and only let him cook when i didn’t have a better option.
unfortunately, the cards don’t have a better cook around right now, so lohse is gonna have to keep overcooking that tuna.

he looked bad around the third or fourth inning

first couple innings, he was getting squeezed and he was shut down in 5th and 6th

club says he was sick in arizona. i’ll give that theory the benfit of the doubt until he starts having those kind of starts frequently, for now, though, his BABIP is up, while LDs are down and GBs are up. i don’t think he’s having good luck with BIPs or umpires

lohse threw pretty well again

he probably could have gone another scoreless inning but his spot came up to leadoff. he was about as good as hudson, but the cards hitters didn’t work hudson. and he didn’t get some calls, and some shoddy defense ran up his pitch count. this is the second time this year he’s run into a tight zone. if he pitches like this all year, and our offense and managerial decisions improve together, he will have a good year, w-l wise.

craig i believe will be back when lopex comes back. right now tony wanted a lefty bat, and as of tomorrow that is jay. plus craig can get all the at-bats in memphis while he’s down.

because they value craig

they want him to play. stav will continue to sit at the end of the bench. just explaining their reasoning, and i see both sides. craig could start for many teams. stav seems to not even be tradeable. plus, maybe jay catches fire for a few at-bats while he’s up and maybe we could get something for him.

This is also the reason I saw that awful Holmes movie. The movie I will now talk shit about.

Sherlock Holmes isn’t a terrible movie. It’s a terrible crock of non sequitorial bullshit constructed around the name Sherlock Holmes for no apparent reason. Sherlock Holmes did not demonstrate his intelligence by telling himself in his head that he was going to punch someone in their solar plexus before he did it. Moronic action sequences were not the original point of Sherlock Holmes. Naming anatomical parts before you punch them does not make you intelligent. Testicles. Kick yourself in them.

Holmes was entertaining in that its action and characters weren’t idiotically incomprehensible (hell, RDJ was pretty tolerable in the titular role). It made a million times more sense than Avatar. It still was a completely unrelated movie to anything previously known as Sherlock Holmes.

let's not get carried away here

looks like he’s got a strong arm….I’m still a little concerned about his tendency to back up on some hot shots.

I have been cautious about being optimistic about Freese, more because I want him to surprise me in a good way than anything else….

by nota bene on Apr 27, 2010 1:39 AM EDT up reply actions  

the backing up bugs me

getting played like that, catching the tweener hop. it’s surprising to see, but he usually overcomes it on a particular play because he is pretty adept out there. if he could just be less tentative…i think he will be. third base is no place to be thinking.

re: tentative

maybe it’s a sign of nerves, and it’ll subside as he gets more confident under the bright lights. Maybe it’s just a bad habit he’s always had and Oquendo can break him of it (or Carp will luggage it out of him).

he was good

hit a pellet to right field corner, too, but heyward was sort of right there. could have had an rbi if tony would have squeezed first pitch with second and third and one out, for an insurance run in the 8th. colby was on third, and tossed at the plate on grounder to second. tony has become very conservative. it was the perfect opportunity.

(braves fans are well aware of colby rasmus, as we are of porcello. in this analogy, their kozma is joey devine – i have no idea how or if he is doing, but they lament in the same way veb’ers do the kozma over porcello pick.)

observing how cautious lincecum and hudson have been with colby i think he’s our second-most feared hiiter, so it’d be nice if luddy could bat sixth – protection for colby – but of course our 1-2 spots are not optimum with that construction, so maybe holliday should bat second, with colby 4 and luddy 5? i know it won’t happen, but then freeze should be 6 and yadi 7.
