Lohse facing batters.
I liked that little segment in the pregame, Lohse’s test batter was Miles. Think the convo was “Who is least likely to hurt Lohse on a return hit?” “Well, Carp has his new stance…” “Right, someone get Miles.”

you’re not supposed to score any runs against the Burg.

welp
i was rooting for one of two things from reds-nats:
1. reds lose
2. reds absolutely shell strasburg, thus hurting his – and helping jaime’s – RoY chances.
looks like 2 isn’t happening, so let’s get 1. come on, nats!
FS Midwest needs to take a cue from FS Ohio
The other night during a rain delay they killed time from the booth for awhile by answering emailed questions. When you only have 20-25 minutes ‘til game time, there’s no excuse to tossing it to some crappy canned program that FSN distributes or some Cards docu that everyone has seen 87 times.

Now.
>Pitcher Change: Felipe Lopez replaces Ryan Franklin, batting 7th, replacing third baseman Felipe Lopez
Adam Wainwright reaches on force attempt, throwing error by Aaron Heilman. Jaime Garcia scores. Brendan Ryan to 3rd. Adam Wainwright to 2nd. None out.
Looked like he was really attacking
the strike zone there. Thought I read something recently that teams were making him work more, and for a guy who nibbles at the corners, that might account for a lot of his walks/short outings.
Maybe the gameplan is a bit different?
Well, against the Phillies they will still suck with him pitching to contact.
So yes, excellent gameplan.

Strasburg chewing up the Reds with 2 pitches
…and of course right on command he strikes Phillips out with a change.
Not afraid to nitpick
"How does Garcia get all that movement on all his pitches, Al?"
“He’s left-handed.”
Goddamnit, Al, you are such a fucking idiot.
Dan challenges his response
and Al continues digging the whole deeper, saying Lefties are physcally incapable of throwing the ball straight. Someone shoot me. No wait, Someone shoot Al.
Does he even have a high-school education?
That was such a phenomenally stupid response to that question, even dumber that I’ve come to expect from Al.

ROY
Anyone else hear them talking NL ROY during the Nats-Reds game? Highlight of Marlins’ Sanchez hitting homerun led them to discussing it. They talked about Strasburg, then Leake and Ike Davis. No mention of Jaime.
It will be Strasburg.
I am pretty much convinced that they will vote him in, no matter how good Jaime is.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"
-George Carlin (RIP)
Even if he pitches only 100 innings this year?
I mean, Strasburg is going to be a fantastic pitcher, but I would prefer the guy with the bigger sample size, but that’s just me I guess.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"
-George Carlin (RIP)
Ehhh, I guess.
I mean, if Jaime pitches 200 or so innings (No way to know for sure if he will get there) at roughly a 3 FIP (He is at 3.25 currently), you don’t value that over Strasburg’s?
We aren’t going to be able to convince each other, but hey :).
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

I've always been peak over longevity
No starter in the bigs has had a <2 FIP since Pedro, let alone a rookie.
Not afraid to nitpick
I don't disagree...
But to this point, it’s clearly been Garcia. And no mention whatsoever, although I’m hardly surprised.

Eventually came around to mentioning Jaime
when discussing the killer short staff in case of playoffs.
"They punched me a lot," Holliday said of the celebration [after his July 18 walk-off single]. "But they were good punches."
"Lookie there...
you can really see how much movement is on that one."
Only because he’s left-handed, right Al? Douche.

Definitely umpire-aided fall behinds.
"They punched me a lot," Holliday said of the celebration [after his July 18 walk-off single]. "But they were good punches."
yeah
not nearly as economical as in the 1st, but I’ll still take it. But honestly, it’s not even his fault that he throws so many pitches…I mean, he’s a lefty, so all of this crazy inexplicable movement makes it nearly impossible for an umpire to call a strike!
I can't get over how stupid of an answer that was by Al
I’m just sitting here dumbfounded by how utterly retarded that was. At no point in that explanation did he demonstrate any sign of brain function.
i award him no points,
and may god have mercy on his soul.

when the muscle sheath looses flexibility
due to age or injury,
exercise and muscle expands and presses on the sheath and it can’t expand, nerve gets compressed, and the limb goes numb
surgery opens the sheath and makes it larger so exertion doesn’t compress the nerve
no more numb—if they opened it enough
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going

In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"
-George Carlin (RIP)
He's not going to win...
He only has 54 innings under his belt, so he probably will finish with around 110 total. To win with that few innings he’d have to run the table and there will likely be a couple more clunkers like tonight.
Fire La Russa!
Again, if he gets to 110 innings with a sub-2 FIP he's going to win deservedly
That’d be the lowest FIP by any starter since 1999, let alone a rookie.
Not afraid to nitpick
He's up to 2.32 now...
and I bet he gets hit a bit harder than he has in the past… If Garcia finishes with 50-100 more innings and a comparable era, he’ll have to get more votes, right?
Fire La Russa!
Garcia is unlikely to have a comparable ERA
Strasburg’s FIP is down to 1.98 with comparable xFIP, he’ll be fine.

I wouldn't really put it past him
He has the best stuff in the majors and command……why not? Probably not projected to keep that up, but if he does, he’s hands down the ROY. It’s not like what he’s doing is luck.
Not afraid to nitpick
Once teams see more of him...
they’ll do a little better. Not much better, but he isn’t Pedro 1999.
Fire La Russa!
I don't really know what scouting reports are really going to do
He pitches off his changeup one start, he pitches off his curve the next, the dude throws 97 on every fastball 2-seam or not, and he throws strikes. What’s your approach supposed to be? The Giants tried swinging at the first fastball, which worked for an inning, and then he just chewed them up off-speed. The Reds were trying to patient early tonight and that didn’t get them too far either starting out 0-1.
I’m not necessarily projecting that going forward, but he might really be pretty close to Pedro circa 1999.
Not afraid to nitpick
His problem is the curveball location
I’ve been notcing that for a while. He hangs a lot of them, it’s just such a good pitch that it’s hard to recognize the hanger.s

So here's the question...
…Is it better for the Cardinals if Miles keeps getting hits (b/c hits are good after all) or not? I’m going with not, b/c then he just won’t play and will get DFA’d eventually. This way he keeps making TLR think he’s a good enough player to play semi-often. Which he’s not. Though that was a solid single. Shit.

by zoomzoomj88 on Jul 21, 2010 10:39 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah he will
“Playing like this” is hitting balls so softly that the outfielders can’t get them. The window he has to get hits is tiny, he’s just managed to do it over 30some PAs. If he keeps “playing like this” he will hit .250/.300/.290.
Not afraid to nitpick
It's always better for the player to produce while in a Cardinal uniform.
No matter how crazy it makes us.
>Pitcher Change: Felipe Lopez replaces Ryan Franklin, batting 7th, replacing third baseman Felipe Lopez
Adam Wainwright reaches on force attempt, throwing error by Aaron Heilman. Jaime Garcia scores. Brendan Ryan to 3rd. Adam Wainwright to 2nd. None out.
No it is definitely not good
Because every hit gives him 4 more outs to suck balls. And he will in fact use up all of those outs to get down to .250/.300/.290, which means a whole lot of shitty baseball.
Not afraid to nitpick
See, I agree with this position
I figure if he just sucks it up he’ll get benched or DFA’d. This way he keeps playing sometimes. And in close and late situations no less. That’s scary.

Amauro, actually.
From Wades perspective, he’s dumping salary and getting a type A FA, so more picks (which he will inevitably screw up). But why would Philly do this? BR is not gonna replace Rollins, and he can’t be sent down w/o clearing waivers. This makes no sense.

Asshattery: it's an epidemic.
Also, Dave Concepcion.
according to strauss...
he should be in Memphis tomorrow. Chicago Friday.
I went back and looked at that again and I was wrong (sorry)
here’s the info from strauss’s chat:
“jakead: Great Tsunami,
I live down in Memphis and unfortunatly missed the showdown between Ludwick and Rick Ankiel. Seeing as the series just started, do you have any idea how long Ludwick will be on this rehab stint? I would love to catch a game.
Thanks,
Joe Strauss: You better get there tonight (Wednesday). Lud’ is due in Chicago Friday."
d'oh!
just bought the tickets lol. no worries. i was due for a game regardless, hopefully I’ll luck out
omg..
So sorry. I could have swore that’s what he said.
seriously
don’t worry about it. i’ve been meaning to take the wife (avid fan) to a game for a few weeks now and with the Cards playing at 1:15, tomorrow night is perfect for AAA game
I'm really sorry
If you want you can PM me a Paypal address and I’ll pay half the cost of your two tickets.
for real, don't worry about it
we’ve been talking about for awhile and tomorrow fits our schedule perfectly. so we’ll go and have a good time either way. thanks though!
I'm glad to hear that
I really hope Ludwick plays in Memphis tomorrow. My memory isn’t what it used to be :)
If he doesn’t play, the offer still stands.
you can pay me though if you want.

That's because he does not have enough range of motion in his shoulder to reach the top shelf
And nobody has the heart to box up his stuff for him.
This is encouraging
Lohse said he would pitch another bullpen Friday, and would “probably” throw a rehab start with one of the Minor League affiliates Monday.
The right-hander was most encouraged with his location and life on his pitches, not worrying about the results against the hitters. With all the other starters surrounding the batting cage while he threw, Lohse said they agreed his stuff looked close to normal.
“They are not going to lie and say it looks good when it doesn’t,” Lohse said of other starters watching.
