1-1, 3.60 |
0-1, 5.40 |
if they get the game in tonight (very questionable proposition, i'm told), anthony reyes will make his 20th major-league start --- and his fifth against the brewers. here are the previous four:

solanus charted reyes' start last weekend vs the astros, and the question that jumps right out at you is --- wha' happened to the changeup? i watched the first two innings and noticed right away that he wasn't throwing it. on the 9th pitch of the game, reyes lobbed a high changeup to morgan ensberg, who scorched it down the line for a homer . . . . . . but foul by a few feet. the next hitter, lance berkman, singled on a 3-2 changeup; a few moments later, on pitch #23 of the game, reyes tossed a low changeup to carlos lee with two men on and one out, and lee jerked a 400-foot rainbow to left field line for a three-run homer . . . . also foul.
from that point forward, reyes --- having thrown five changeups in the first four batters of the game --- would throw only six more changeups. he flat-out lost faith in the pitch --- or maybe his catcher did. maybe dave 'n' tony thought he was tipping it; that happened in game 4 of the nlcs vs the mets, if memory serves, and they had reyes start pitching off the stretch to eliminate the tell. in any case, 55 of reyes' last 72 pitches vs the astros were fastballs --- 6 were changeups, and the other 11 were that slurvey thing he throws.
without the changeup, he's a sitting duck; he absolutely must change speeds to be effective.

I'd like to see
.298/.378/.434 batting second and move Duncan between Pulols and Rolen.
or even this projection of that player
.277/.352/.461
but alas John Rodriguez is nowhere to be found.
Now maybe he's an ass and we would all be better off without him. That's fine. Then dump him.
For the life of me I have no idea what Skips job is. He hasn't played CF. He hasn't been used as a PR when everyone stops to wait for him to come out. He's on the PH list just above Bennett and Wainwright.
Do you think that Edmonds is a Superhero and Skip is his sidekick? Man I miss Heroes when is it coming back again?

I don't mind P-Dub against LHP, but against RHP he's about as useful as a dead fish. Why does Tony love him so much?
by VORP is too nerdy on Apr 13, 2007 6:42 PM EDT 0 recs
C'mon now!
Why, in that 12-inning game this past Tuesday Preston, um...
You see, P-Dub's splits against right-handed pitchers only, uh...
Hey, a dead fish can be pretty darn useful if...ummm.
Ah, hell. I got nuthin.

Erik Reyes
His last outing wasn't pretty.
That is all.
by liam on Apr 13, 2007 7:00 PM EDT 0 recs
wow the tide turning on reyes?
Tonight he could be that Flash that we have all seen...it's the consistency part i know i hunger for...I'm not sure what they could have gotten for him just byhimself during the winter..sample size too small... it would have had to been packaged with somethin else..
Season is short still so we will see...I really dont think you can draw too many conclusions this early..

Its barely even sprinkling out
The weather over the last two weeks has already reigned havoc on my fantasy team, I guess it is time for it to catch up with the Cards.

"The Cardinals pushed back Anthony Reyes, who had completed his warmups, to Monday with Kip Wells starting on Saturday. Ben Sheets, the Brewers' scheduled starter, was pushed back to Sunday with Jeff Suppan starting on Saturday."

Off topic, but..
If you ever consider doing it, don't. It's totally useless. Every single sports game is blacked out.

DISH is the same way
we're going to have to get DTV next week to watch the Cardinals on EI. Time Warner in ohio does not carry all the EI channels. I'm not getting rid of DISH, just going to add DTV to the one tv dad & I watch the Cardinals on.

Well, it depends...
It gives me the choice of TiVo-ing games on the Sports Pack channels that are carrying the game (Midwest, or the opposing team, if the Cardinals are on the road), instead of the 6-hour games on the Extra Innings channels.
If you're considering getting it only for Cardinals games, then VORP is right, it's probably not worth the cost. You can get all the games available through Extra Innings. If you want to be able to see pre and post-game shows of the Cardinals or any other team, it may be worth $10/month.

Pre/Post game shows
I just think it sucks that the "sports pack" basically consists of pre/post game shows and the best damn sports show period.
