Yesterday I said it was hitting day
and we hit. Unfortunately, I forgot to specify anything about pitching.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
I would say it's pitching day
but Carp doesn’t give a fuck about my superstitions.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
being specific
that is the key

The most surprising thing I've read all day
Matt Holiday is hitting .301.
by Michael_68_1999 on May 13, 2010 1:57 PM EDT reply actions
That's actually surprising.
so it’s just the lack of RBI. That actually makes me feel better.
T. Greene for SS
his whole slash line is
.301/.353/.463/.817
the OBP could stand to come up. He’s got a grand total of 7 walks all year.
and got a HIT!

Amazing.
Bud Norris has gave up at least 3 runs against every rival he has faced. Except, of course, a 5 scoreless inning outing against your Redbirds. FFS

on the bright side..
we’ve hit him hard:
line drive single
oppo double
line drive doubleplay, which would normally be a double
So if Michael Bourn
played for the Cardinals, would he have taken so many pitches this at-bat, or would he have swung at the first pitch and weakly flew out?

At the game
Just watched Puma continue to remind us that he’s a better 1b ten Ryan Howard by robbing shoeless corky (Colby smash) and a video came on the board talking about the ’99 rams despite being a cheesehead I enjoyed and remeber that year for the Rams. This led to a discussion about how the greatest St Louis sports moments in the last 20 years were pre-season injuries(Bonilla and Green). I wish the Blues had a preseason injury like that almost as much as I wish we could hit Bud F. Norris

Agreed.
I like the competitive attitude. But if you are going to get into an argument and then lose the strike zone, don’t get into an argument in the first place…
I want the Walrus back...
I think he was more pissed off that one of the tiny umpires put his hands on him
and Carp was obliged not to kill him. there were enough teammates there for them to take care of it.
Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
I don't understand
How he was upset by an out? If Lee had tagged him, that’s one thing, but he got an out. All it does is fire guys up — on both sides, yes but the Astros had first crack. All he did was wake everyone up and spend some time waiting for things to cool down.
read above.
Lee said he should’ve hit it out i.e. it was a crap pitch.
we’re live-blogging for a reason.
Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
I know WHY he got mad
I just don’t understand it. He’s a grown man. Control your emotions. Who cares if Lee got pissed, that happens all the time with hitters. Shut your mouth and get the next guy out.
you can ask him
he yells all the time. he has always yelled, and has never been warned because it’s clear he’s just in the zone and not actually threatening the other players.
if you have a problem with it now, you have a problem with Chris Carpenter’s career.
Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
Well sometimes,
you yell to get yourself fired up. You want to let your teammates know you are in this game and ready to compete. Messing with the rival, especially in a contact sport is a good strategy when you can handle it. I tell you because I am a goalkeeper in soccer. And usually, messing with the other team makes them lose it, not you.
Today, Carp messed with Lee and couldn’t handle it.
I want the Walrus back...
...I don't think this is some kind of game strategy.
I just don’t know how this is a sign that Carp should grow up. yeah, he knows when he crosses the line — he acknowledges it. but talking about Carp like he’s some recalcitrant child shows some disconnect from, uh, Carpenter’s actual starts over the last decade.
Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
All I have to say is
that if you are going to do this, as Carp has done it, make sure you can handle it. Today, he clearly didn’t.
I want the Walrus back...
I'll agree with that
though I didn’t see enough to figure how Carp didn’t handle it. truly execrable camera work.

I tell you what this is great for studying...
I think oh shit I’m gonna get into the game and not study. Well very promptly(usually in the first few innings) the cards have given me good reason to get back to work. Well whatever, last final ever tomorrow! WOOHOO
as someone who just finished his comprehensive exams and passed the defense
congrats! i know how it feels to be able to say, “last exams ever”
I just don't see this team
beating the Reds this upcoming series. We might see ourselves dropping to second by this weekend…

you know...
there are ways to forget about games like this. One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you’d say. Now where was I… oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn’t get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

thrown in with the not hitting big guys…
theres a big issue of what do you do? if ryan doesnt hit you go greene…if greene doesnt? Lopez? Then theres skip…
If they don’t learn to hit then it’s going to be a long yr

I think if it gets that bad that Lopez takes over SS
then they would go to Descalso to replace Skip… doubt it happens, but Descalso has been an RBI machine thus far in Memphis.

If...
funk = bad outcome, then yes. If funk = bad performance, then no. He’s hitting fine, it’s just that his hits happened to have come when no one was on base.

A great thing for a 4th place hitter to do.
>Pitcher Change: Felipe Lopez replaces Ryan Franklin, batting 7th, replacing third baseman Felipe Lopez
He isn't doing it...
it’s just chance. Is hitting with a runner on first a different skill than hitting with a runner on second?

just looking...
He is 4 for 43 with RISP but he also has 6 BB.
All
133PA 37H 7BB 21K
RISP
49 PA 4H 6BB 6 K
Non RISP
84PA 33H 1BB 15K
He most certainly is taking more walks with runners on. You would think that would mean he was being more selective with RISP. Yet his BAbip is .189! with RISP compared to a total of .337
Not sure if the balls he is putting in are because he is putting pitches out of the zone into play which leads to pop-ups and or weak grounders. Anything else you would think it’s just a lot of bad luck.
I have him with 7 hits with RISP...
but in any case, yes it’s just bad luck. He’s fine.

Wait a second...
Did we just get swept by the ASTROS? Hahaha. Oh man. I’m going to be so drunk this weekend.
I understand that it is only May...
And I understand that the Cardinals are still in first place (for now).
But that shithole of a performance is the type of thing that keeps you out of the playoffs.
You absolutely can not get swept by what is far and away the worst team in the National League, at home no less.
I’m hard-pressed to even throw this one in the “any given day in baseball” category.
Just gross.
We had two 8-game losing streaks in 2006.
’06 Cards were swept by:
Tigers
Cubs (x2)
Indians
Reds
Pirates
Phillies
Mets
Diamondbacks
Astros (4-game sweep)
Some of those were at home, to boot.
And I guess you already forgot about last year’s schulacking at that hands of the Rockies in STL?

First of all...
WS champions or not, I really hope the ’06 team is not the standard to which we compare this team.
Second, I mentioned the Colorado series earlier, but they were a playoff team, not a team on its way to 100 losses.
That said...
IIRC, the Rockies did have the worst record in the NL at the time.
But still, they were obviously much, much better than that.
These Astros are what they are, and that is terrible.
I just don't know what to think about all this.
the year the Cards were a pretty mediocre team they won the WS.
In 2004/2005 when they were mostly awesome they still went flat towards the end of the year and we all tried not to worry and said “they just need something to play for” and it didn’t work out.
Maybe this all part of Tony’s grand scheme. Let them play crummy in May so they can catch fire later in the year. I don’t know. I don’t see LaRussa ever being willing to lose a game no matter what the reward would be at the end.
Maybe it’s just the GOBs are upset. Maybe it’s because there are only 3 letters in the word “May”? Maybe it’s because LaRue shaved his mustache?

sorry if this has already been posted, i BADLY do not want to read this game thread.
fuck you, espn. seriously, go fuck yourself.
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
it was the only "highlight" on a game that was really big for the Giants.
The clip, which was first publicly criticized by beat writer Henry Schulman, showed [Bengie] Molina running in slow-motion while the "Chariots of Fire" theme played.
Molina — an 11-year pro’s pro who doesn’t exactly have the build of a modern-type catcher like Joe Mauer — is upset for a couple of reasons.
For one, his mother saw it and was upset once his brother Yadier explained to her what was being said.
For another, it was the only play shown from a Giants victory that, at the time, gave them the best record in the National League.
That’s from BLS.
+
“In that Marlins game, which we won, Nate Schierholtz went three-for-three with his first home run of the season. Matt Cain pitched six innings of no-hit ball. And the one highlight ESPN shows of that game is me getting thrown out at home? And they’re doing it just for laughs?
this guy nails it. they can be playing the best baseball on the planet, and FESPN will focus on how they’re fat-asses. why the fuck shouldn’t we be pissed off? they can do it to any team not named the Red Sox or Yankees.

this place is like a trailer park after a twister roared through. A lot of shell-shocked people wandering around wondering the f happened.
The only thing that can make it better is a Cavaliers tank-job that will send Cleveland to the lowest level of sports hell. Celtics up by 7.

it's getting closer to being better
up 11 in 4th. lebron 7 turnovers, lousy shooting. shaq should be playing at the Y. if lebron wants an excuse to get out of cleveland, he’s making it happen.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
it's funny how they talk about how he might leave
if cleveland doesn’t win a championship, when that is pretty much dependent on his performance alone.

James is giving the ball away and then they give up with a minute to go. Utterly give up. Bizarre

heard his BFF calipari was sitting behind the bench last game
some speculation he could be tied to lebron, wherever that is. cal likely needs to leave town before the recruiting violations hit, so it’s plausible.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
All his players are one and done...
why not the coach himself… He should be able to last more than a year before the violations bite. He’s not even bothering to hide it now.

That coach has got to go...
Shaq is an anchor, Verajao can’t be the go-to guy in the 4th quarter, and what the hell happened during the final minute? Did he go for a hot dog or something?
Franklin !#@$!&*%#
strange
there was one stretch of 4 possessions in the fourth when they got down double digits again and lebron never touched the ball. they had already panicked, or conceded.
what’s rasheed done this year and in the playoffs – he have anything left?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
He looks like a shell of his former self...

I think that elbow is really bothering him.
He seemed to lack dexterity at times. Just a weird performance.
You can read it in any tone you like.
i don't know
didn’t really follow it a lot, but he was able to shoot threes. all the turnovers and lack of hustle and defense – something was up with him. maybe it hurt so bad he couldn’t focus. maybe he had pain shots. something was off. came off looking disinterested.

Watch out for Auburn next year. We’ve got a heck of a new coach who’s already pulled in two top prospects in this recruiting class. We’re not returning too much, but having a coach with a strategy other than “shoot the 3” will make a huge difference.

I just meant that he is of a similar build, is probably a very comparable hitter, but probably not quite as good at defense. I may be jumping the gun a bit, but I am excited that we have a third baseman now that is the firsttrue replacement for Scott Rolen, who was also at St. Louis Cardinal at one time.

wow
Zeile’s home run totals were all over the map during his career, he ranged from under ten a lot of years, to 31 in ‘97 with the Dodgers. I didn’t remember him ever hitting that many.
I guess what I took issue with, is that Zeile was a lower average hitter than what Freese’s number point to, which is more like a .300 or greater average hitter (Zeile was a career .265 hitter). also, Freese appears to have a better eye and will take more walks

all of a sudden i see this what-i-thought-was a comparison…
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I stand by my Freese/Rolen comparison
it’s not as if Rolen is a super great hitter. Freese will be comparable at hitting, if not better, imo. and his defense is still developing… of course he will not be on of the best defensive third basemen like Rolen is, but he can hold his own. that’s why I think they are similar, and like I said before, they are of a similar build, so I don’t see why he is more like a todd zeile and not closer to a rolen type player.

alright, i'll look up stats for rolen's peak years

Rolen was an 8 WAR player in his prime

Rolen was a .400 wOBA hitter in his prime, so I doubt Freese can ever be that good
For Freese to be 5 WAR he would have to be a +5 run defender, a .380 wOBA hitter and play in 150 games.

it's great drunk food
not the best pizza around by any means, but it’s definitely a cheap, filling meal if you are running low on cash

The town I grew up in had
a bar / chicken shack. You could get a beer and a 4 piece chicken for $3.75 (Went up to $4.25 last year.) I ate there quite a bit in leaner times. Crappy thing is, I moved 60 miles away, and the same meal in the same kind of place is $12 here.

Chicago is no where near as expensive as people think it is
unless you live in the neighborhoods that are overpriced

Adonis Cardona?
did his parents not know what that meant, or did they have a really high opinion of his looks?

so, page is turning around the MLB... I was wondering about rookies
who’s going to make the biggest difference for a team, from among the rookies and call-ups around the league? i.e. who could bite us in the butt? Davis, Heyward, Strasburg? the various wildcards around the NL Central… let’s just throw Leake in there. who are you seeing in your nightmares?

this season, I mean.
let’s say by the All-Star break, to leave out Sept call-ups.

cause us problems
i don’t see anyone. but i think jaime could be overshadowed pitching-wise by strasburg, and while it’s debated which was more deserving of ROY, heyward walks away with it.

What?
I'm one of those "I don't care how you killed the cow; just serve me a great steak" guys. If the results are logical and easy to understand, I'm pouring some A1 sauce on that formula and eating it. UZR qualifies. -Bill Simmons
Sky got hired by the Indians so they need to fill his spot
Rich contacted me, but I can’t do it, so I said I would recommend some people. If anyone here as interest speak up.

speaking of homer bailey recently
someone noted that his brilliant end to last season was aided by pitching against the pirates 4 times. in that stretch, he actually had a lower era against other teams, though he wasn’t racking up wins. from red reporter:
“Last season Bailey had a brilliant run to end the season, going 6-1 with a 1.70 ERA in his final nine starts of the season. Four of those starts were against Pittsburgh, with him going 4-0 with a 2.13 ERA against the Pirates.”
