Game 22 Open Thread: Atlanta Braves @ St. Louis Cardinals

This glove may or may not be magic.

Wainwright takes the mound against Juirjeensjuijjns. The Cardinals will look to continue their win streak and their streak of quality starts.  But the most important question is . . .

. . . will they score runs without the longball?!?!?!?  Dun dun dun.

Bomb materials

I started working for Evinrude and Johnson right after they came out of bankruptcy; their assets were purchased by Bombardier Recreational Products. One of the guys I worked with was a regional service rep from Oklahoma and he had to come up to Chicago to attend training with the new company. When he shipped home a box of paperwork from here, he labeled it “Bomb. Mat’ls”. Which was a lot of fun for his wife, as the FBI showed up at 2 AM asking a lot of questions.

if we are going by a month of the season

Freese looks to be almost as valuable because he plays good D at 3B and can hit. Luddy is also hitting very well. if we traded them away for one guy I am not sure I would be too happy about that this season. sure, in the long run it MAY be a good deal.

There’s probably an argument to be made that having the best GB/FB in the league should upgrade us and some of our pitching results are sustainable. Meh. SSS.

No, there's no doubt there's gonna be regression

His BABIP is at .355 with only a 14% LD%, as well as a 30+ HR/FB%

But still… the ZiPs update has him at a .364 wOBA for the year, which I will absolutely, undoubtedly take.

there’s a poster there who apparently always pointed out the team’s shortcomings, was considered negative by Al, so he’s gone to being an eternal optimist to piss Al off. no matter what goes wrong he comes up with some silver lining, and it’s driving Al nuts – he told him he was over-the-top optimistic.

He was rumored

to be dealt for Ludwick or Ankiel. I wanted him, and I will want him this offseason if the D-backs don’t extend him. If he gets 20-25 homers, like i expect him to get, then maybe 2/12 is his deal?

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.

His RBI total was the highest one-game total for a rookie since 1925.
Freese’s RBI binge was only the seventh time in club history that a player had a six-RBI game within his first 162 games as a player. Two other Cardinals to do so — both of whom were on the team last summer — started their careers as pitchers.

so...

i sort of have a longstanding disagreement with this guy on a mizzou blog i frequent. anyway, we got into a bit yesterday/today and he made the following comment. just thought i’d share it and get your guys’ thoughts about it. anyway…

Well, who am I supposed to be impressed with?
Rasmus and Ludwick have been solid if unspectacular. Brendan Ryan has been awful. Freese and Schumaker have been relatively spare. Yadier Molina has not been good this year. Felipe Lopez is shaping up to be a good signing, but he is what he is: a fourth infielder.

As for the pitching, both Wainwright and Garcia’s success is (I suspect) largely a product of an extremely low BABIP (.221 for Garcia, .228 for Wainwright). I’m confident that Wainwright can maintain a mid-3s ERA, but that BABIP is going to catch up to Garcia. Penny’s been impressive to be sure, but I remain skeptical of any pitcher on the wrong side of 30 (and Penny turns 33 in a couple weeks) with a history of injury. Carpenter’s Carpenter, and Lohse is a LOL factory.

And everything comes with a Small Sample Size disclaimer. So, no, I’m not convinced of either.

(therefore he is an idiot, but you probably already knew that)

he makes some valid points.

garcia will regress i’m sure. wainwright probably won’t. at least not much. he’s proven that he is this good. boog has been awful, and freese and schu have just been decent. luddy is solid.

i might be inclined to be skeptical about penny, but: dave duncan.

BUT, Molina has been incredibly clutch this year, and to say he hasn’t been good is simply wrong. and Rasmus has been spectacular. that’s the truth.

meh, he's not really making any salient points

Saying that low BABIPs are unsustainable is hardly revelatory. Are you kidding me that Wainwright’s success is largely a product of his low BABIP. Largely? STFU. By pitch value, he has the second best curvenball in the league (trailing only Carp), so don’t tell me his success is predicated on luck. Not to mention he put together a Cy Young caliber season last year without a generous BABIP. Same goes for Jaime. Sure, it’s not sustaiable, but there’s every indication this kid is employing the winning Dave Duncan formula to great success. He’s inducing a league leading 71% GB rate, That’s not just luck, its skill and strategy, and although that rate is certainly going to come down and the BABIP’s going to rise, there’s no indication he won’t still be a very solid pitcher. And Rasmus unspectacular? Please. He’s leading the league in multiple offensive categories, while playing plus defense in centerfield. If he’s not playing spectacularly, then no one is. I could go on, but you see where I’m headed. Just because some downward regression is due for some of these guys (and notice he fails to take account of probable upward regression, like in Holliday’s case) doesn’t mean they aren’t going to still be successful when they settle.

Not that I disagree on Waino’s projection or even that his CB is killer, but the fangraphs pitch value stuff INCLUDES that BABIP luck. All that stuff is nearly worthless because it all depends on usage/luck/a pitcher’s other pitches.

by joker24 on Apr 29, 2010 8:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

I should have clarified

because I knew after I posted someone was going to bring that up. Of course his BABIP is going to factor into his pitch value. I would think that goes without saying. But the point, however unclear, was that this guy has a killer curveball, is widely regarded around the league as having one, mounted a Cy Young campaign largely on the strength of that pitch, etc. Recognizing that, I just don’t see how you can say his success is predicated “largely” on being lucky. Besides, even if luck on balls in play might be factoring into the strength of his curveball and his overall success, what about the guys he’s striking out with the curveball. That’s just luck too?

GIBBY DIDN'T GIVE A FUCK

In the wake of the Dallas Braden-Alex Rodriguez tiff, I asked FOX’s Tim McCarver if the A’s left-hander was justified in telling A-Rod, "This is my mound, my rubber."

"Absolutely — I love that," McCarver said. "That’s his space."

Braden grew upset during the sixth inning Thursday when Rodriguez cut across the mound while returning to first base on a foul ball.

"The first person that I ever heard refer to the mound as his office was Gibson," McCarver said, referring to his former teammate, Hall of Famer Bob Gibson. "And (Steve) Carlton picked that up.

"In fact, when Pete Rose would make an out — particularly on a flyball unless it was the third out of an an inning — he would intentionally run over the back of the mound on his way back to the dugout if the dugout was on the third-base side. He would intimidate rookie pitchers in that regard.

"He tried that once with Gibson in the mid-60s and Gibson threw at him the next time up. Pete spat at him. And the next one was a lot closer. Pete didn’t spit the second time."

Gibson’s philosophy?

"You never come into my office unless you’re invited — and you’ll never be invited," McCarver said. -Ken Rosenthal

Still would love to see clips of Gibson and Ron Hunt. I posted this earlier. .

Hunt, a St. Louis product I think, was good a faking being hit by pitches. He led off against Gibson and successfully pretended to be hit. Next time up Gibby drilled him in the ribs. Next time the kness. Last AB Hunt was bailing out of the box as Gibby wound up. . .
