  1. "Almost passed CC going to home plate." Paraphrase"That would have capped the night off on the bases." Bill is on fire tonight.
  2. Sucks we only have one back up middle infielder. Why again did we get rid of Inglett? Our bench set up is just dumb. 2 back up 1B that have been platooning in RF. One middle infielder. At least we have a back up outfielder now with Boggs.
  3. Peter Gammons is an immortal. Cut his head off to gain his power.
  4. "It's one thing to be fast but that doesn't make you a good base runner." Good call Bill.
  5. Fangraphs article on FieldFX. They don't think it will be publicly available either.
  6. Guess we needed some extra money to give Braun a $10m bonus.
  7. UZR puts Fielder and Teixiera as pretty comparable defenders if I remember correctly. Get used to hearing about that.
  8. Who said a contract like that for Pujols would be a good idea?
  9. Braun's contract isn't back loaded. It is middle loaded.
  10. Maybe but in general it seems like MLB salaries for the top players have sort of plateaued and salaries for not quite top players have dropped.
  11. That all assumes baseball salaries will rise at the rate of inflation.
  12. [quote author=jazzytrav wrote: [/b]I understand defining it to an extent, but if you're up by a run and have two lefties coming up in the 9th, I see no reason why Axford gets the call just because he's "the closer." Same with the 8th and the "setup man." (sorry, bit of leftover Yost rage...I haven't been around here in awhile) Defined roles are fine as long as everyone understands that those roles can be tweaked at any time for the betterment of the team and depending on the situation. Then it requires a manager with the guts to make an intelligent bullpen decision rather than the "accepted" one. And the "save" statistic just needs to go away...far, far away. Almost every manager does it. There are very few managers who don't have a designated closer. Getting upset with a manager about it is like getting upset with snow in Wisconsin in January. It is just the way it is.
  13. That is what I was thinking. These will be Braun's age 31-36 seasons. Not really years I would want to pay much for. The only thing I can think of is they know something about the next CBA we don't. Hopefully there will be some changes shrinking the gap between big market and small/mid market teams.
  14. I guess I can now let my kids buy Braun jerseys.
  15. Morgan is a better hitter against RHP than Hart. I would rather get Morgan the extra PA against righties.
  16. From the article I think they are worried about some clubs not paying for it and just using free sourced stats from the amateur sabermetric community. I think they said there is something like 2 terabytes of data per game. It sometimes picks up seagulls, guys in the on deck circle and cotton candy vendors. So I would guess only some of that actually should be useful.
  17. Wow, that sucked. Weeks should have run but I thought it was going to die in the grass.
  18. It seems like 3B and 1B are playing at least even with the bases for Gomez. Most of the time at the edge of the infield grass. I don't think he should be bunting if they are playing in. He has a much better chance to bunt for a hit if they play back.
  19. It wouldn't be a problem except they are on tv when people want to watch the Brewers. This is the first "I hate/don't care about the bucks/NBA" I remember so I would hardly call it regular.
  20. I personally would love to see a straight platoon with Counsell but I don't think he can handle it. Trip R has made mistake after mistake this season with position players. Right now he is backed into a corner without Morgan but he didn't do a good job when he had options. We have 3 1B on our roster right now and I put keeping Almonte at the very least at his feet. Kotsay may or may not have been his choice but considering Morgan's playing time, I think he is at least partially to blame.
  21. Yeah I think there will be some surprises for people who have not read the books.
  22. I don't really think it is bad luck. He makes bad contact. Most of those long hits are not line drives, they are fly balls.
  23. I completely lost the game at the start of the 7th inning. I taking 2 of 3 from the Phillies on the road takes some of the sting out of getting swept by the Nats.
