exactly

freese had to cheat to get to third. it was a good pitch to bunt, but somehow the batter did not bunt it, knowing this. then colby needed only a ball in play, failed, and set up this situation.

A look at some evidence

This is not exactly perfect, but here is a research article that looks at sliding head first vs feet first and finds no statistically significant difference between the 2. So, knowing that, can someone explain to these asshats that you wouldn’t slide feet first into first, which is no slower than sliding head first, so there is no way that sliding head first into first is faster than running through the bag.

unless you hold he and colby to the same performance standards. and even then, colby had a much easier go at driving in the run than the rookie freeze.

Not putting it on Freese

just semi-snark. Personally I don’t see the value in blaming guys for losses anyway, in most circumstances. You’re going to lose 60-70 games even in a good season. People will play like shit, make stupid mental mistakes, etc. As long as its not willful, egregious and persistent, or due to lack of effort, I really don’t see the point.

which is where i am

and why i defend players in certain situations. some folks here don’t understand certain things as they happen on the field, which is different than in a chart, so when freeze gets picked off second, not for sleepwalking, but because the batter failed to bunt a pitch on demand – well, the casual observer may fault him, but i suspect tony has a different take on the situation and will address it. it was at least shared blame, but many seem to think freeze just fell asleep the way they talk about it. it was just a team fail, and two guys happened to be involved on that one.

as far as colby’s last at-bat, i can’t even defend him. just go get ’em next time kid. (yes, the outcome seems worse, but freeze actually did a better job than colby there)

'some people here don't understand things as they happen on the field'

you sound pretentious and condescending, watch your wording because i know who you are talking about.

freese still got caught wandering off of second, its basic knowledge that you don’t get ahead of yourself in a bunt situation. players are taught from little league to go on the contact of the bunt, not on the pitch. Unless its a hit and run, you don’t wander that far off of second in a bunt situation.

i hold colby to the same standard, he left way too many runners on. he looked really tired at the plate like he couldn’t see very well. he failed to put the bat on the ball.

neither colby and freese did their job tonight offensively. there are going to be nights like this. the good thing is that there is a game tomorrow, let them redeem theirselves. Go Cards.

well, if you know who i am talking about please inform me

so i don’t have to go through the thread to find the culprits. freeze deserves blame, as does the batter – no reason not to bunt that ball. freeze has to cheat on that…well, because he’s not real fast. i suppose tony knows all this. just wasn’t sure if some of the fans did. this is not an uncommon occurrence when the bunt is not layed down.

addendum

yes, many know of little league. i was trying to advance the discussion beyond that noble league. i’m sorry, this was just a poorly played and managed game, and it got my ire up. there is really no excuse for losing that game, and it sure appeared some people wanted a gift-wrapped victory. i could be wrong about that, but i hate excuses, especially when there are none even to entertain. that said, i’m expecting another solid performance from lohse again tomorrow, and all shall be well.

Bubbles is obviously the weak link in a pretty strong rotation

add in that gawdawful contract & it’s no wonder we have very little patience for Bubbles

whether he is worth his contract this year

will depend on many factors outside his control. i am willing to bet he is as good as zito, and count my blessings. people tend to make very nefarious comparisons here to prove their point – WAR is laughable as a valuation of a player in real dollars.

as good as the old Zito, the not so old Zito, or the new Zito?

having not seen any of his starts i can only go by what i read here. and many are not happy with the guy. i don’t think he did himself any favors by saying in spring he thought he’d be as good as he was in 08 now that his forearm is healed.

i hope he’s good too & i pull for him to be successful. i just never believed he was as good as he was in 08 & i don’t expect him to be able to repeat it ever again.

well, this incarnation of zito is pretty good thus far

and i will hold lohse to the same standards. if he is as good as zito, then i really see no problems – you could say we got a steal it would be much easier to bitch and moan about holliday’s contract, but i suspect lohse takes the brunt of that. sometimes the elephant in the room is not so visible, i suppose. bad, bad contract, i say. i suspect lohse, discounting his injured year last, will earn his money much more than holliday does, though i hope i am wrong, of course, because that’s a much bigger deal..

my biggest concern with Lego's deal is year 7 & 8

i hope & pray they do not haunt us.

i can’t hold Bubbles as high as you do, i just can’t because i never expected that much from him. i will be pretty happy if he does end up giving the team full value for his contract.

if at the end of the year

lohse is the equivalent of zito or dice-k or vasquez, then i suppose we have a good deal. i probably shouldn’t use vasquez as an example, since some think of him so highly (it might be unfair to lohse), but since i hold a different opinion on vasquez i’m willing to throw him in there. bottom line, 8th inning, tying run on and the bullpen spent, i’d take lohse over vasquez. i know this flies in the face of peripherals and whatnot, but just like waino will not let that run in, vasquez will. this is what makes baseball great, like morris v. smoltz – wills are involved, and as ozzie guillen said, vasquez, for all that talent, wasn’t given that piece. construe his numbers all you want, but in the end he will not be standing on the mound screaming at his manager “this is mine”…no, he’ll hand off the ball and go take a nice shower. unfortunately we can’t measure these things – except when they are drafted, and then it is a very big component – but with pitchers it is very evident, and every manager should know his staff, first and foremost – THAT, for all his faults, tony has a very good grip on. the in-game (poor) decisions pale in comparison to the importance of this fact.

everyone hates his contract

i’m not fine with it myself. but then hate mo. and it matters not at all where lohse falls on our “depth chart”. he would be an upgrade for any team in the league, and if and when shit hits the fan, i’ll enjoy how the tune will change. he was much more a sure thing than penny, and the extra couple mil is worth that certainty. penny’s contract, no matter how it turns out, was a much greater risk. just have to separate the decision-making process from the result.

yeah, we bought high on 2008 lohse...

i dont think we’ll be able to afford penny for another year, and without DD’s tutelage, he’ll suffer from Jeff Weaver syndrome.

Maybe Lohse will get enough run support tomorrow that he won’t have to press.

i think you misunderstand my use of the little league example

im not making an argument based on little league…my argument is that its a little league mistake.
its good that he learns this lesson now though. know your physical limits, and know the catcher’s arm strength (one hell of a toss and block job by cabrera [I didnt think it was legal to totally block off the bag like that, is that legal at first base? and if so, why don’t first basemen block the bag like that? free pick-offs]) /rant

if it was a ‘do-or-die’ bunt situation, i expect boog to get that bunt down (I dont really like bunting anyways as its giving away an out, its something we have to put up with, with TLR). let’s face it, if that wasn’t scott rolen, we may have gone to extra innings.

But you are right, its a frustrating loss that should have been a W. Lohse going tomorrow. I hope we light up Homer Bailey and bust out like the last game vs. Atlanta, but I’ll just take a W.

i try to always be positive about the future

and let the past go after a thorough rebuke, which i hope tony gave them. i honestly wasn’t singling anyone out in my original comment, as it all blended together into one big pile of crap. my apologies if you thought i was speaking to you (maybe i was, but i have no idea, and then it would definitely not be just you) – i’ve just been frustrated by some very ill-informed opinions of late, and this kind of loss just exacerbates that. again, my apologies.

step away if it’s getting that frustrating. your comment threads became insufferable in every post labeled April 30. which was surprising. then you brushed off pretty much everyone who tried to tell you so. also surprising.

disappointing

hopefully he will have a situational hitting talk after the game. anything but a strikeout is basically a run, and you don’t leave that to the next batter, especially knowing they will walk him to set up the DP. he’s my boy, but that was the most glaring fuck-up of the game.
