St. Louis Cardinals All-Star Moments: Matt Morris's Non-Appearance in 2002

Over the next few days we will, thanks to the magnanimity of the zinc pyrithione industry, be taking a look at some memorable moments in Cardinals All-Star Game history. I'm not great at making lists, but there are supposed to be 10 of these, with some kind of countdown involved, so I decided to start with the most memorable unmemorable moment in MLB All-Star Game history: The tie game in 2002.
Matt Morris, the Cardinals' only representative at the game that year—Albert Pujols's .294/.393/.579 mark at third base wasn't enough, apparently, to unseat Mike Lowell—has the strange honor of being the only pitcher left on either bench when the teams walked off the field tied after 11 innings in Milwaukee. Replaced by Braves reliever Mike Remlinger on the NL roster, Morris wasn't injured or unable to go; he was struggling personally and professionally in the wake of Darryl Kile's death, and decided—with Tony La Russa—not to pitch.
My only vivid memory of the game is watching as each manager began pulling at his collar in extras and hoping Morris would suit up to keep things going for another inning, only to be disappointed when the announcers discounted the possibility. Morris emerging from the shadow of Kile's death to cut through the managerial fluff and extend the game via shady roster machinations would have been the kind of All-Star Game surprise, possible only in a true just-for-fun exhibition, that baseball needs and seems determined to drive to extinction; instead baseball was forced to introduce a different All-Star quirk, one somewhat less likely to be passed down from grandparent to grandchild in 2060.
It was a strange situation in a game filled with strange situations, and like the rest of them it resolved itself in an unsurprisingly disappointing way.
It's worth remembering, amidst all the sadness and mundane ineptitude of the days leading up to it and the day itself, how great Morris was at the time; a year after going 22-8 he finished the first half 10-6 with an ERA of 3.55 in the height of the last live-ball era. For some reason Morris the hotshot young star is a lost mental image to me—all I can call up is the injured guy who threw fastballs like a knuckleballer, just to offset three curveballs in a row.

And my only memory of that All-Star game was of Selig deciding to call the game.

Goold article:
Injured Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, recovering more quickly than expected from his fractured left wrist, took ground balls hit by coach Jose Oquendo for some 15 minutes this afternoon at Busch Stadium before the 5:15 p.m. start of the Cardinals’ game with Cincinnati.
Afterward, Pujols told the Post-Dispatch he didn’t feel any discomfort in his fielding workout. But more signicantly, Pujols, excluded from the National League All-Star team for the second time in 11 seasons, said he shouldn’t have been selected to the squad.

Hitting off the pitching machine

Pujols said he hit off pitching machine today. Full swings. No pain. Fastballs. Even said they were 89 mph.

Volsncards and I both predicted this. If you remember, Strauss reported it was a very small break.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
we predicted he'd be back in 3 weeks
so, if he comes back tomorrow, he’ll beat that by almost a week. But, we still predicted he’d be back earlier. Until they say that it wasn’t a break, it was broken. There have been some pretty detailed reports of the break recently, FWIW.

The (possibly) emerging "new run environment" still takes a little getting used to for me.
Fangraphs says average FIP right now is 3.84. In 2002, Morris had a 4.6 WAR year with a 3.32 FIP, compared to the 4.28 average.

Ass fraud and liar
His parents must be proud
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

This was my dilemma. In an effort to cut down traffic, I'll share.
“…but I was concerned about me, my family, and making a living and I didn’t want to be in the middle of that at all."
So that was Big Bad Bob Gibson, fearful of no batter but afraid to show up and wimping out when faced with a life-changing challenge for his good friend, who had supported him defensively on the field for years.
Choosing his family and future over a baseball teammate is unacceptable and shameful?

I assume that this is about curt flood.
If so, that’s a half-truth with an enormous missing piece.
Virtually no active players publicly stood up in a significant way with flood, essentially all of them because they were afraid of losing their livelihoods. Gibson was not exceptional in mostly remaining silent. He certainly not the worst offender. Lots of high profile players came out and said flood was dead wrong; they were happy to enjoy the benefits of free agency a few years later, though.
I also think gibson has long been up front about the fact that he remained silent to protect his livelihood.
Singling gibson out seems pointedly unfair. Flood remained a close friend to gibson, and to the best of my knowledge never blamed him.
Murray chass specializes in these context-free hit pieces.

Totally Looney Tunes crazysauce:
If all goes well during a checkup Tuesday morning, St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols believes he could be ready to return to the lineup Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds.
(…)
“I’ll let you know tomorrow,” Pujols said. "Hopefully, the tests and everything goes well and whatever the doctors and the trainers say, I will follow that. I feel good, and I feel right where I want to be right now.
...and his name was Eduardo Sanchez, and the name of his slider was Death -DanUp
I read that.... I'm... well... geez. At least it's 5 games before the break and not 2, but still...
The Roger Dean Project was swell while it lasted.
Also from Hummel and Goold
After his fielding workout, Pujols said he felt no pain. “If I felt any pain, I wouldn’t be swinging,” he said although Pujols coyly said that he had four more weeks because that’s what the doctors originally had suggested.
Pujols will meet with the doctor on Tuesday and he did not dismiss the possibility that he would push for clearance to play that evening, the first day he’s eligible to come off the disabled list.
“I don’t’ want to jinx myself,” said Pujols, who is wearing his soft cast only selectively and, in fact, left it in his car today.

The difference in B-Ref’s WAR is greater though so some people might consider that to be biased.

Aaron Rowand reaches on a fielder's choice out, left fielder Allen Craig to catcher Yadier Molina to third baseman Daniel Descalso. Andres Torres out at home. Aaron Rowand to 2nd on the throw. Two out.
i just don't understand how he threw the ball at all let alone got it to first base
it doesn’t make any sense

amazing things about that play, in order
1a. keeps the ball on the infield
1b. catches & maintains control of the ball, instead of just knocking it down
2. gets to his feet that quickly
3. uncorks a huge, beautiful throw

Perfectly accurate bullet...
He could literally hang on for another decade even if he turns into Pedro Feliz with the stick.

i'm just curious to see where he goes down in history as a defensive 3B
i was not alive for Schmidt and Brooks Robinson, obviously, but I can say for sure he’s the best I have ever seen by a longshot.

if he's third to only those two guys
that’s still a profound achievement. IIRC Rolen’s offense somewhat > Robinson’s, and his defense is slightly > Schmidt’s.

yeah
i just am often confused because people (on Fangraphs, for example) say things like “Adrian Beltre is a better defensive third baseman than Scott Rolen” which just seem completely ill-informed. i really have not seen a better defensive 3B in my life, but it seems other people disagree on this point.

ricky and al are so good about making sure that colby doesn't get any credit for that actual legitmate hit that got him on base to score the winning run.
You teach me baseball and I'll teach you relativity. No, we must not. You will learn about relativity faster than I learn baseball. --Albert Einstein
?
they give him credit.
When he hit it, they said he smashed the ball.
After the run scored they said, Hamliton knocked the run in, Yadi got Rasmus to second, schumaker got him to third, and COlby got on base after a tough at bat.
Grit != flat out sucking.
i'm talking about the end of the game, when they summed it up
carpenter pitches a great game and hamilton gets the winning hit. that’s all i heard.

Yeah Jay...
not Rasmus. It was a fine catch, but they made it seem like it was great when he just made it difficult for himself.

Hamilton's hit sucked...
and he almost blew it by getting a bad jump out of the box, being slow as hell, and then sliding.

He got jammed...
It was a little dribbler with a ton of spin. Probably would’ve come to rest 15 behind third base.

I don’t know about that, but I just watched the replay on GD and it wasn’t hit as hard as I thought. That still could have been a double if Rolen misses it or gives up on it.
