head-to-head matchups - braves v. cardinals

PrintI think it's a safe-ish bet that the braves are - after the phillies - the next team most likely to make the postseason from the nl east. the team calling card is the rotation below.

i confess a brief jealousy every time i read through that rotation. if that's not the best rotation in baseball, it is darn close; certainly the best in the national league. a team that can trade a pitcher like javier vasquez in the offseason, because a pitcher of his caliber is so much unneeded strength in a stacked rotation, is definitely in fine shape in the rotation.
if that's not bad enough, the braves boast a fine bullpen, headlined by billy wagner and takashi saito.
the rotation only serves to make a decent set of position players look paltry in comparison.

the cardinals come out ahead in the field, but the braves are not in bad shape here, either. several players are wild cards here. troy glaus is a familiar face. he could have real value at first if competely healthy, but could also lose a lot of time to injury if not.
injury is the real bugaboo if you are a braves fan. there are a lot of older players on this team who muct deliver high-value performances to keep the braves in the race. glaus, chipper jones, billy wagner, saito, all top-flight older players who have missed time for injury. should the injury bug bite here badly, the brave s season will b more painful.
the outfield is an obvious weak spot. jason heyward is the matt wieters of 2009 at least as to the degree of hype greeting his arrival, but braves fans should hope he doesn't hit like matt wieters in 2009. i expected a better projection than 1.1 WAR for him. mclouth belongs in a corner. watch for jordan schafer - former next big thing in the braves system, he had wrist surgery last year after a disappointing debut. nevertheless, jordan is a very strong defender. if he can ge his hitting on track, he'll be doing what he needs to do to stick in the majors. i think there's a lot of room for mclouth to move out of center and have schafer take over in center. mclouth is not a long-term defensive solution in center field. the braves bench has some other nice options - hinske, melky cabrera, omar infante.
the braves have a well put-together ball club. should they stay healthy, they could be a truly great team in 2010.

too bad for thurston
lost out for the last roster spot to brooks conrad – sounds like the 40-man was a big factor.
yeah, i’m thinking that outfield looks pretty weak. mclouth isn’t much of a centerfielder and apparently forgot how to hit now – the braves had him in minor league camp trying to figure out whatever began toward the end of last season, but he has a groin or hamstring issue now. i’m sure they are counting on schafer to play alongside heyward long-term, but looks likely he’ll spend most of the year in AAA once he’s ready to go after that hand surgery. cabrera was supposed to be the big end of a platoon in left, i believe, but he may well become the regular centerfielder.
unless every possible thing goes either right or wrong, my prediction would be the braves finish one spot out of the wildcard, sort of mirroring their very own joe thurston’s situation..
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I would be scary
if that rotation had a power bat in the line up to back it up. I think as goes Glaus, so go the Braves chances. take that for what it is.
I had a dream last night we traded stav and pags for heath bell. It was a nice dream.
and then i woke up.
That would be awesome
I actually had a dream recently [NCAYFT alert!] that Larry Bigbie was somehow drafted onto my fantasy team.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
boy, that was like the ending of No Country
And just like in the movie, evil prevailed – The Stav Infection remains a foreboding presence among us, roaming the dark shadows of our collective unconscious. Ok, that may be a bit overboard…
Also, I just finished The Crying of Lot 49. Can’t say I was a huge fan. Do you think it’s worth forging ahead with Gravity’s Rainbow, or am I likely bound to dislike that one too based on my Lot 49 impressions. ??
I've never read either
but I’m a big fan of the game Thurn und Taxis. Try it out.

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Given that the Phils have 3 pitchers on the DL
the Braves have a chance to get ahead in the NL East early.

a lot more encouraging
than “i’m not up there to walk. i’m up there to swing the bat” or whatever it was he said last season
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
The TLR quote is heartening, too.
I am paraphrasing, but “walks equal runs” coming from Mr. Aggressive of a year ago is great to hear. Maybe Big Mac is having an effect on the philosophy.

i wonder if colby is the type of guy
who kind of repeats whatever the figure of authority says….the “i’m up here to swing the bat” sounds like something our former hitting coach would have told him to say
"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
Didn't someone present evidence that last season's walk rate
was uncharacteristically low for the whole team? Not to make Hal out as a scapegoat, but there was something systematic to last year’s performance.
born Dodger blue, now dyed Cardinals red
4.6 WAR for Hanson
I don’t see it…maybe 3.6…batters will figure him out over a full season…just not seeing it
"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
That is what I was coming to say
No way Hanson is that good. No Hudson on the other hand has looked dynamite. I think his projection is to low.
by FlimtotheFlam on Apr 3, 2010 11:14 AM EDT up reply actions
yea
his FIP was over half a run higher than his ERA last season…his homerun rate was .7 and since his GB% was only 40%, i’d expect him to give up more homers this season…he’s going to be a good pitcher, and probably great in the future, but 4.6 is a lot to ask from a second year player….of course, lincecum was worth 7.5 his second year in the league, so maybe it is possible
"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
This will probably come back to haunt me
But I wasn’t really that impressed with Hanson, at least for the short-term. I’m a sucker for killer fastballs in my young aces, it always seems like it takes a little while for the breaking ball oriented pitchers to really figure it out.
Not afraid to nitpick
for the sake of a couple of my FB teams, I hope so
Blaine Matthew Burns: Albert Pujols' biggest fan (his first words will for sure be "Albert Pujols is RIDICULOUS")
He's a very similar pitcher to Wainright - like very similar
Waino has a little bit better of a curve, but the rest of their stuff, their overall pitch selection and common are very similar.
Salas
Has definitely looked good this spring. Nice to have he and Kinney in AAA should we have injuries, or have a reliever faulter.
Matt Holliday. Nuff said.
Unsurprisingly, I am excited about Salas.
I think he could get called up and then never be sent down again. He is a player that will be fun to follow. I will be seeing him in person in a mere two weeks.
After the last three seasons, I would be surprised to see Kinney in St. Louis for anything but a cup of coffee. I fear the magic of ’06 is gone.

Someone had to be and you try putting carp on that card
Belief that success is inevitable is as likely to hold you back as a belief that it is impossible.
where's the Boog
joker card? Or should the joker be Stavinoha, since it should be discarded before the game starts?
Stav is the rules card
he should be thrown away when the pack gets opened
Belief that success is inevitable is as likely to hold you back as a belief that it is impossible.
that has bugged me all winter

I wonder if Hawpe wouldn't be a good fit
in Atlanta if Glass breaks down, he is a converted 1B anyway so he could be good depth at 1st and RF where they are starting a 19 rookie.

not that a -40UZR is really good as a backup either

The Rockies should have dealt him a long time ago
He’s more valuable to lots of other teams than he is to them, that equals a decent return.

Once, at a Peoria Chiefs game
when I was in high school, I tracked down a foul ball and gave it to a little kid. The kids dad, to thank me, snuck over to the visitors bullpen and stole one of the pitcher’s coats. That was the coolest Clinton Lumberkings coat to ever roam my high school’s halls.

I was at a Cards-Astros game a couple years ago
Bleacher seats in the first row behind the LF bullpen. Kid about two feet away from me wasn’t paying attention during BP, and someone hits a line drive right at him. I see it coming and push him out of the way. The ball would have nailed him, and I didn’t even get a thank you beer out of it ( the kid did get to keep the ball).

Brendan Ryan will not win the Gold Glove if he can't get his errors down
I predict his offense will actually be more than adequate to sway them for the “defensive award”. It will be the errors, every day of the week.

?
He had a .984 fielding% last year……..I’m just saying this in reference to GGs.
Not afraid to nitpick
yes, and I'm saying the gold gloves are not awarded based on defensive stats
it’s on last impressions. Piñeiro should have gotten the GG last year, but Waino essentially got a sympathy vote for the Cy. what logic is there in that?
last year in 1364 innings, JRoll had 6 errors.
in 830 innings at short, Boog had 8 errors.
it’s stupid, that’s my point. but there are some cast-iron idiots voting for gold gloves these days, and Brendan’s last impressions will be the decider.

partially obscured screen
I admit to being a software idiot, but having taken the step of getting the MLB-tv package this year (just signed up last night) I’m watching my first game over the computer (today’s game at Minn) and the bottom on the picture is hidden, possibly a half inch or so.
And I cannot figure out how to change the view to get the whole camera picture. The four “view” options don’t fix it. grrr. Can anyone help?
is there a bar across the bottom
with a fullscreen button on it. happened to me a few times, where i go full screen and it’s missing the bottom fourth or so and the bottom menu bar is still there
if so, click the full screen button, it will go to normal, click it again and it should be normal
else, try a different browser?

Yes and now you no longer have the option to disable nexdef.
Once you’ve installed it you have to use it or uninstall it. When I’m on our wireless it is too high quality and you can’t switch it to standard. But when I’m at home it will work fine. And I don’t always want to use it if I’m gamethreading and stuff. I think that’s a definite flaw.

Random Thought
If I were Skip Schumaker – I’d make damn sure I have a good season. Descalso, Solano, and Greene could all be contenders for the 2B job next season if he struggles this year. Lopez could easily take your place this year. I’m not sure I could name another team that Skip would be starting at 2B or a leadoff hitter- much less a team that is a contender for the WS.
Moreso – he’s not even the best 2B on the team right now (Lopez).
Maybe I’m just a little down on him right not because of his Spring Training OPS of .467 (puke). Consider yourself on my radar, Skip.
by The Ghost of Todd Burns on Apr 3, 2010 5:35 PM EDT reply actions
can't see it ever being solano, or greene (who only has value if he's a great defensive SS, imo)
i could definitely see descalso next year, assuming he has a strong full season at memphis, but budget also comes into play in that scenario, and whether we could get any satisfactory return for skipper – they won’t just give him away.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
They couldn't get a satisfactory return for him a year ago so they turned him into a 2B
I just don’t see it happening.
Not afraid to nitpick
isn't he more valuable now as a 2B?
he didn’t have a corner OF bat, or the tools to play center.

SSSS aside, Skip better have his typical good season(especially if Boog is slow out of the gate), maybe even better than that. If he slips at all, Tony better damn well be sure to not keep him & Boog in the 1&2 spots in the lineup for a frustrating amount of time.

Halladay is just gonna be a beast. Hamels might slip back some more. Happs…you never know about a second year in the majors. Blanton & Moyer could suddenly suck bad, and that would not surprise me. I just don’t see that offense slumping bad enough for the team to slip below .500
Lighten up, Francis - Sergeant Hulka
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
i think hamels was pretty much the same pitcher last year
just with worse results, so i think his numbers will be even better. happ should come back to earth some, though. blanton is a big dude with an oblique problem now, so he’s likely out the first month, but then should be real solid. moyer will go as far as he can, and then the phils will stick pedro or someone else (hopefully not smoltz) in the 5 spot.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
i think they are going to run hamels out of town
halladay is their only given in the rotation, moyer & fatty mcflanton will be the suck. their O can’t keep this up can they? utley & howard i think are the only sure things. i’ve never been a big believer of them to begin with, and i think this is the year they finally come back to earth
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
Remember what ballpark they play in gdm, they'll likely keep it up
and since the Phillies won the NLCS there’s probably going to be 8 allstars on the phillies again.
i don't care about the all star team
and that park is the suck
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
hey, don't let fatty mcflanton hear you say that
blanton is a good pitcher. the phils paid him well this off-season to stay. i’m biased, but he’s a great guy. my buddy and blanton are best friends – pitched and roomed together coming up, with my buddy the mather part and blanton the boog. anyway, he’s a fun guy to hit the town with after a game, say, in chicago. my buddy was actually in-flight to new york to hang out with blanton and see him face the yanks when he found out big joe wouldn’t be in new york because he had just been traded to philly.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
he's a perfectly average decent pitcher, and there's nothing wrong with that.
he just doesn’t impress me anymore that’s all.

there’s no reason they should make this many final 4’s. they aren’t even the top team in their conference, yet somehow they make another final 4. how else can you explain that? dumb luck?

i admit i'm biased, big time
which is why i think i’m an authority on how much the media blows them up & the ncaa helps them out each year by always having them in the easiest brackets & always having the refs keep the games close.
except for 2000 when they won it all, mstate has had no biz making it out of the first round, yet here they were in their 6th final 4 out of the last 12 years. it’s total & complete BS

defense and rebounding and a point guard

Michigan State was in the same region as Kansas and Ohio State
How is that an easy bracket? They were fortunate that they were in the bracket that had all the upsets, but you couldn’t know that going in. They were in the consensus toughest bracket when the tournament started.

their bullpen is probably
1.8 war better than ours however. im afraid of our pen. ive got more faith in rookies like salas and sanchez than i do in franklin motte and hawk. and i would hate to see AC flipped midseason for bullpen relief
"Franklin has no patience for bloggers who believe because he pitches to contact, his start last season was something of a fluke."
if heyward schaefer and hanson
all live up to billing, i think they’ll be set on the talent-development front to withstand one missed 1st rounder.
"Franklin has no patience for bloggers who believe because he pitches to contact, his start last season was something of a fluke."
schafer is far from certain
first there was the 50-game suspension, then the suckitude in atlanta, and now the hand surgery that probably keeps him in AAA all year. he wouldn’t be the first guy with talent who busts.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."

the Polish sausage won again today. it is still unclear whether exhibition games count in the official standings. we will find out when they are posted after the race on monday.

It's really a shame that Kalin Lucas got injured.
MSU would probably win it all rather easily if they had him.
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!"

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
anybody like jack cust?
the a’s have the familiar ten days to release him, put him on waivers, or trade him. i’m sure there will be multiple teams interested. wouldn’t be a bad 25th man in lieu of stav for some lefty pop off the bench and he’s likely no worse in the field. according to cot’s he’s due to get 2.65 mil this year. depending on the interest in him, if we bit the bullet and ponied up maybe only have to send them the remaining shane in return.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
apparently he has no D
or maybe that was someone else…

As a left handed power bat. Something this team is really lacking on…

Twitter: @mstreeter06
three things, i think
the a’s are a little better than given credit for, cust had a bad spring, and eric chavez has to be on the team as dh – he’s their highest-paid player and the last of the old-guard.

sbn's humorous feature
23. On the Cardinals’ depth chart, Felipe Lopez is the backup at first base, second base, third base, and shortstop. Tony La Russa has relinquished day-to-day managing duties to Felipe Lopez. Felipe Lopez conducts the vast majority of front-office transactions; he also tells you that the parking lot is full and suggests you park in Olathe if you have a problem with it. I am Felipe Lopez, and you are Felipe Lopez. While you were reading this, a ground ball passed through your legs.

OT: Over at Minor League Ball
there was a post to find out who the most hated team was here. Apparently some people hate the Cardinals because of the fans… I have a hard time believing more people would hate the Cardinals over the Cubs while citing the fans as the reason why…

chances are
“half of St. Louis” are actually Chicagoans trapped in cubsland.

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
One thing that's sorta funny about that is how many Cubs fans come to St. Louis to see games, too.
Is that because they want to see what a real baseball team looks like? I mean, why else leave their real city?
You can read it in any tone you like.
I'd like to steal that and post it as a reply...
However I know the only thing dumber than arguing with a Cubs fan is getting in a land war in Asia…

it is interesting, though, that people don't distinguish ovations from overwhelming waves (cough) of blind love
Ovations can be appreciative or acknowledgment or even ironic (see: Matt Holliday). It’s probably a more subdued dialogue in Busch Stadium compared to other stadiums, but IMO the nuances are there. The media’s still clinging to a ten-year-old image, and I’m not sure it wasn’t a touch of revisionist history back then.
They’ve probably never tried standing and clapping.

looks like
it’s all cubs fans. i would sweat it much. all they can do is bash st louis the city and that’s a pretty easy target
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
haha
i noticed you said st. louis sucks.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
yeah, sorry
it does
bad crime, horrible economy, no great attractions. the cardinals are the only thing it has going for it. which is one pretty awesome thing, but still
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
new orleans just recorded it's 52 and 53 homicide of the year
the bodies found together in a motel room. puts the city way ahead of last year’s pace, when there was only 43 by easter. i think it was rated the third most dangerous or violent city in the world, although looking around the world i don’t know how that could possibly be – maybe the chamber of commerce is exaggerating for the publicity?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
But Easter isn't on the same date each year right?
I don’t remember when it was last year, but maybe it was earlier in the year?
"There's a new sheriff in town." - Brendan Ryan
yeah, i just said easter since it is
the stat was actually matched by date, which was april 1 – this being the weekend, i’ll have to check, but i’m sure we’ve added to the tally since thursday.

Not the skewed crime comment again.
If St. Louis City and county governments were merged, you’d find St. Louis an incredibly safe place with the exception of one or two rough neighborhoods.

he should love it even more against kc
the royals site does fanposts on the worst player in franchise history at each position, acknowledging that, while other sites do the best of, they, being the royals, should rightfully stick to the worst of lists. anyway, for catcher, while there was no official poll, reading through the comments it is obvious larue ranks right up toward the top in the fans’ minds. dave duncan even got a mention or two.
