Is that Fat Miles or an Acute Stav Infection?

I'm starting to miss Troy Glaus
He just hit his 9th HR and drove in RBIs 38,39, and 40. And he’s hitting .278.
Onubon > Gates
Allen Craig
Look on the bright side. If he were in STL, he’d never play. At least now, he gets to keep hitting line drives every time up. Oh, wait…that’s not the bright side.
Goold
When asked what role La Russa’s support and open lobbying had in his promotion and his return to the Cardinals, Miles didn’t hesistate: "Huge."
This one’s on you, TLR.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
no duh!
chicago thought he was crap, traded him. oakland traded him to cincy soon after. cincy cut him. everybody knows that miles is washed-up. everyone (including us) except tony.

Question for someone with Play Index
Has anyone over the age of 30 ever hit worse than a .466 OPS in >150 PAs and returned to the big leagues the next year?
Not afraid to nitpick
Yes, the best we can look forward to is a poor man's Mike Gallego.
A man who, in his final year, had an OPS+ of 2. Woo!
STILL not quite as bad as Miles was last year
I got Bob Ramazotti who pulled it of in 1949 and saw time in ’50 and Tim Bogar in 98-99.

Just called miles “legit.” And now just heard skip is hitting 2nd. I just punched my car radio
by thewizard3 on Jun 1, 2010 7:50 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Skip second is pretty bad.
You ideally want your ‘best’ hitter there…not one of your worst. Ludwick was a pretty reasonable alternative to Holliday/Pujols in that slot. He’s a decent fastball hitter, and saw plenty in front of Albert, I’d assume.
rather have Skip and Felipe swtiched

miles is not legit (which is why he was traded twice and cut by the reds this past offseason AND released by the cubs), and skip hitting 2nd = ?

makes no sense whatsoever. i think we’ll be more pissed off about the miles call-up then if we lose this game.

@zoomzoomj88
Boog's reviving the 'stache!!! Woohoo!
I considered the situation very rationally.
And, after the rational consideration of the situation.
I still only have one question.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
More rational thinking.
One (or more) of our middle infielders nursing a nagging injury? That’s about only way feasible that this move makes sense. Not much sense, since I’d rather have Greene called back up, but I guess options wasted and all that…. or something.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??
Rational thinking isn’t doing it for me tonight. I think I’m going to go get very, very drunk.
We wouldn't have wasted an option on Tyler. He's already been up this year.
You can read it in any tone you like.
You aren't helping my rational thinking.
In other news, I found a bottle of vodka that’s still about 80% full. Think I can finish it by end of game?
you knew this was coming

Zoom's ode
Aaron Miles
Brings no smiles
We know he can’t field or hit
Even though he has grit
Played with the Cubs
There he became a Scrub
And now he can’t do --
So TLR
Decided to bring him back
Even though we all know
Miles can’t do jack

The day was warm and humid but the sky was clear and blue.
I sat down at my notebook and began writing. It was good. And then I heard the Cardinals called up Aaron Miles. My thoughts turned wistful and I decided to stop for the day. There were drinks to be had and women to look at and I wanted to be anywhere but home.

"he's a good player"
SFG broadcaster and noted personnel guy Mike Krukow on Miles, couple of years ago, when that still was not true.
I like Krukow.
As an announcer in particular, the Giants have a good bunch.
But he must have been quite drunk when he uttered that statement. Or he was just comparing Miles to the Giants leadoff hitter, whoever it was at the time. Hrm….maybe we can trade Miles to SF?
I think it's more like
People want Aaron Miles-type players to be good because they hustle and are gritty and stuff.

Assumption correct.

But last night’s thread had approximately 50,000 sarcastic “he’s a bust” posts busting the people’s balls who actually thought he was a bust. I just don’t think we need more tonight.

Speaking of Sex in the City 2.....
Story Time!
I have a good friend that works at the local movie theater. There’s a group of 3 of them that cover the ticket area that branches back to the actual theater area. They made a little box out of some paper, and scrawled ‘Man Card Goes Here’ on it. Anytime a guy handed them a ticket for SITC2, they showed them the box, usually generating a laugh.
Well, eventually a friend of ours came in to see the movie with his girlfriend. He held out the box to him, mockingly, and the response?
“At least I’m getting laid tonight. You never will.”
The man card box found its way into the trash can.

Lopez was out by so far at home
the only thing he could have accomplished was getting himself hurt
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!
can only see on gameday
what has he done on defense?
/legitimate question
"Franklin has no patience for bloggers who believe because he pitches to contact, his start last season was something of a fluke."
he got a grounder in the 5.5 hole
and only had a play at second, but stubbs is really fast and beat it. the second play, similar, he went to second again but i think he had an out at first – dude was safe at second again.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Two fielders choices
in a row where the runner beat Felipe’s throws. One was understandable but on the second he made a bad choice and soft tossed the throw to second.

I've noticed this too
I still feel like I might be biased, though. But anecdotally, he sure does seem to get a crappy zone.

I wonder
if it is because pitchers are always trying to pitch him low and away, often with the catcher set up out of the strikezone. When the pitcher hits that spot, it fools the umpire. Its the only thingI can think of.

Jason LaRue’s catcher ERA for this season?
My first memory of Cardinals baseball is seeing Darrell Porter jump into Bruce Sutter's arms on October 20, 1982!
No idea, but catcher ERA has been proven not to mean anything if that's what you were going for
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
still curious
My first memory of Cardinals baseball is seeing Darrell Porter jump into Bruce Sutter's arms on October 20, 1982!
maybe because they catch different pitchers
but if there was enough data to compare catching the same pitchers, it should have some significance
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I'd be ok with
Miles pinch hitting for Miller this inning…

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.

is that he is going to get 1 big hit soon and, in Tony’s mind, that is going to validate him being on the major league roster. it is similar to the one-kneed homeruns of stavinoha (even though I kinda like Dr. Thunder)

Exactly
after 14 years of Tony, it is relatively easy to predict the future. Like how he’ll get nose flaringly pissed when somebody questions his decision of letting P.J. hit, then replacing him the next half inning before even facing a batter. The answer will be a complete avoidance of the crux of the matter but he’ll be such a jerk, the journalist will be too initimidated to follow-up.
I don't dislike TLR

I don't really dislike him either
He’s definitely a hall of famer. It just gets old, he’s getting to the stubborn old man phase of his career… at times. He’s the baseball version of Bobby Knight, except he’s too much of a pacifist and won’t ever hit a player to expediate his exit.
I want him to stay while we have really good shots at rings, but as we become even more young (and we will) I think it will be time for new blood. Again, legendary manager, but the sh!t gets old.

the 20-inning affair with the mets, too
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
haha yeah that was crazy
but also pure torture. then again, 20 inn…position players pitching, pitchers playing LF. ok ok. so that was was wilder
that's true
had that crazy Stav game. the back to back HR to tie, followed by the MIL walk-off. I’m hoping the upcoming MIL series is a nice easy sweep. Will be at sunday’s game—Garcia vs Bush (for now)
that series also gave us that beautiful Prince Fielder tantrum in the dugout
that was the one game of the series they actually won, is the really hilarious part of it looking back…..

Injured hand.
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!"

good evening
I have no idea if there is anyone still on this thread. At any rate, I pick on you as one of the last posters. Your posting time says 3:22 am, but in which time zone I have no idea. My question is, if you followed Tuesday’s game, why were VEBers clamouring for Ryan to plunk Gomes. I searched through the thread, but couldn’t find out why. Just curious. Cheers.
by kkkkathmandubirdsview on Jun 2, 2010 10:21 AM EDT up reply actions
Mostly because he's Johnny Gomes.
Can’t remember the exact reason in the game.
>Pitcher Change: Felipe Lopez replaces Ryan Franklin, batting 7th, replacing third baseman Felipe Lopez
Found it...
He went in hard on LaRue on a forceout at home
>Pitcher Change: Felipe Lopez replaces Ryan Franklin, batting 7th, replacing third baseman Felipe Lopez
To try to break up a double play....
it wasn’t a ddirty play, in fact it was the proper thing to do.

I think the outcry had as much to do with a VEB dislike of Gomes as it did the actual play.
