I would have been happy taking a different Dodgers infielder

A closer is a usage pattern, not a position
Anyone can be a closer if you pitch them in a “closer” role.

at least the closer has a lead to work with.

that's a stupid answer
I mean, yes, it’s incredibly assholish for you to answer with that. Not because you owe me an answer, but because you had no reason to be a dick, but you were.
Anyway, I think there’s a legit question- “why” did he choose that quote? What does it mean to him?
if someone like strauss asked that, and H said “I’d rather not answer, it’s personal”, that would be a fine thing to report. or if H answered that “he chose it because he liked it”, that would be a fine response.
The fact that jackasses like strauss never asked the question, is ridiculous.

I thought he started off fine.
In the 5th inning I said to myself, “Wow, he’s much more consistent than last night’s guy.” And then, Schumaker struck out on a high pitch and the ump just started screwing up every call, calling a completely different strike zone for each team.
6th inning on was davidsonian.

That's the weird thing
His zone was great for the first 6-7 innings. Then the corners got really wonky when the bullpens took over, for some reason.
Marcum kept begging for that too-low strike, but never got it.
Then the ump just decided to call the zone randomly.

Do changeups lose speed less than fastballs?

We were down a few runs, and there was literally a post that was asking when we were going to blow the team up and start over. There was a post about accepting that the Brewers would be swept by the Phillies, not us. There was all sorts of negative, defeatist bullshit. People need to cheer the hell up and have some hope.

Even if it takes much longer to write? I suppose you have to weigh code checking, but I would think effeciency is also a factor.
That’s a pretty reasonable fucking question, no?
And then you all started questioning how much coding experience I’ve had, which is a bullshit copout response (later on you actually answered my question, by that was well after several comments of “lulz, vep doesn’t have a lot of experience”).

Ironicly the reds are seven games back,
and are commonly regarded as the most hated and classless organization in the entire mlb.

Spitting causes you to pretty much pause your vitriol. Cursing loudly with spittle included is not against the rules.

Tony has clearly lost it. And yadi looked like a guy trying to get away with something. But I still don’t think he should be suspended.
What was the deal with:
The Cardinals filed a complaint with the umpiring crew about the thin LED boards that surround Miller Park’s second level, creating different lighting situations in Monday night’s game, but would not discuss the matter further.
was that discussed in the 5000ish posts I didn’t have time to read, today?
The other thing I found interesting about tonight’s game was the fact that they appeared to be opening and closing the roof based on who was batting.

He didn't literally spit into his face.
He was yelling and when you yell spit flies out of your mouth.
Ok well I watched closely and I can't rewind but I didn't see contact.
Probably wrong, but I was trying to pay extra attention.
i agree that the spitting was unintentional
ump was being dramatic about that. still wiping his face several minutes later like he didn’t get it the first 10 times he dramatically wiped his face

he didn't over-react at all.
that was really the proper reaction to being called out on that pitch.
3 times in the late innings of a game in a pennat race, a cardinal was called out on strikes on a ball out of zone with 2 outs (mostly with RISP). That is absurd.

Dude, it's pretty obvious that Molina did not think things over.
There was no in-between where he analyzed the positives and negatives of his actions. He just lost it. And to be honest, I can see how he lost it. Did he take it over the line? Yeah but he had already lost it at that point.
It wasn't much different from a basketball coach
getting T’d up because he was tired of the ref’s not calling something that is rather blatant. Sometimes it makes the officials actually think about what is being said.

yeah, that's the tough part. Probably nothing.
OTOH, would we have won that game if he hadn’t over-reacted? No way to ever know. Inside the margins wins, things like extra-innings, etc, are completely unpredictable; sabermetrics chalks them up to “luck”.

I think he probably wouldn’t play tomorrow anyway after a long night.
theriot got a 2-game suspension for saying "cocksucker"
i think yadi will get not-less for bumping the umpire at least 3 times
It depends on how they interpret the video.
Yadier claims that the umpire kind of leaned in on him, pretty much begging to be bumped. If the league office rules that the ump is at fault here, it may not be a long suspension. I do think he will likely get a multiple game suspension though.

Umpire was at least as at fault as yadi. First bump was on the exagerated follow-through on the called strike call, and then the umpire stepped into him.

I suppose so, though I think that's a one-gamer no matter who's umpiring
yadi couldn’t get himself in check, though, even when descalso tried to pull him away. personally I’m of the opinion that adults should never get themselves thrown out of baseball games, so I have no sympathy for him at all; I find the whole thing to be an embarrassment, like when the guy next to you at your table starts screaming at the waitress.

"Now that they've come out with that great stat, 'innings pitched per inning'-- is there anything they don't have a stat for these days?" -Al Hraboski, 3 Jun 11
I don't know that that's true
why does anyone ever have to do it? do teams hit better after an ejection? do umpires remember where the strike zone is after getting pissed off at a member of one of the two teams they’re supposed to be impartial about?
dunno, big picture
but 30 seconds of google searching says bobby cox’s teams won over 60% of the time, after he was ejected, vs around 56% of the time, overall, and the brewers this year have had a ridiculous “home team advantage”.
Not sure if there is any reason to correlate the two, but no one has done a study on “when the starting catcher asserts himself in the 11th inning against an umpire who has cost his team around .5ish WPA, against a home team with a .800ish win% at home”.

Jason Motte looked like an ass.
i don’t feel that way about Molina. if anything, he was frustrated, and overreacted, and then was surprised by the way the umpire moved. It was very irregular.
Dunno, guess there’s room for disagreement. After watching the replays 10+ times, it’s clear to me that the umpire was looking for a fight.
"Now that they've come out with that great stat, 'innings pitched per inning'-- is there anything they don't have a stat for these days?" -Al Hraboski, 3 Jun 11

but it was too late.

why does motte look like an ass
it’s an accepted part of baseball, wasn’t motte’s decision and at worst would have cost 1 run
because it was incredibly stupid, put the winning run on first base
and was unnecessary. saito didn’t mean to hit pujols.

Yadi is, generously, a 4 fWAR player

yeah, theoretically, in a vacuum
but we’re not trying to project a mean, here. we’re trying to squeeze every last run out of a pennant race and molina’s actions hurt the team’s playoff chances. bottom line
and we won tonight.

actually, it does.
If a player gets thrown out, the crew chief HAS to file a report on the matter. The report has to be reviewed with the league, and an explanation has to be given as to what happened. IE, the boss gets called onto the carpet, so shit usually rolls downhill.

doesnt have to be in sports anyways

Milb article on Miller
Miller is 6-2 with a 2.57 ERA and 65 strikeouts in his Double-A debut after opening the season in the Florida State League. He is working on a cut fastball and a two-seam fastball to complement his changeup, curve and a four-seamer that averages 94 mph, and he is clearly not afraid to take the ball and shoulder a load.

I've learned to sense upcoming idiocy in the Cardinals organization, it's my superpower
…because they keep doing the same stupid shit over and over and over and over and over and over.
Not afraid to nitpick
Not sure if a record exists but Yadi might hold the sportscenter record for total words that needed to be pixelated for language. They seriously did it like 6-7x in like a 15 second span. Well done.

I'm probably through digging through that thread
Where did you end up getting your suit?
Still not a werewolf.
I got mine at Banana Republic at an enormous discount, probably $200 total for three pieces
This makes me sound much hipper and well-dressed than I really am.
Still not a werewolf.
then $300 is pretty good.
what color? and why do I suddenly care? What has that thread done to me?
I own ten thousand t-shirts.
Still not a werewolf.

And check out the umpire leaning back like he'd just gotten punched in the face.
Molina didn’t spit on him. He was yelling and some stuff flew out. It wasn’t intentional. The ump was being a little bitch. Looked like he was about to cry.
i'm more interested in descalso's longing expression
this is like the 10th inning. he’s probably fantasizing about the post game spread or a bacon cheeseburger
Perfecting his inner Vlade Divac flop circa 2002

well I'm wide awake and you just arrived
so between my excessive comment and your .gifs, it’s probably necessary.

I've been here all night, I was just super pessimistic while the game was going on.
I decided to stop watching our pitchers after the braun HBP.

ok, good plan
forgot tomorrow is RB’s day.
