  1. That was an NL exec saying that, not ESPN. And I'm guessing the exec didn't really think that - he was saying it as an example of how everyone is struggling to figure out what's wrong with Weeks. R.I.F.

  4. Yeah, it was a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. I think RR's hands were pretty much tied there.
  5. I've never understood that myth either. I mean, think about it logically. These guys are professional baseball players. Do we really think, I mean, using our brains now, that a few minutes of goof-off batting practice is going to alter someone's swing for the rest of the season? Or even a couple weeks? And then magically, during the offseason (an offseason where there's NO WAY the player would ever goof around with some friends and swing for the fences one day or even play in a charity softball game, right?) the guy's swing returns to normal? Really, folks.
  6. Clemente's power numbers, while nothing exciting, are solid enough for the era in which he played. Don't forget both guys are/were tremendous defensively. Ichiro has a lot of SB's, too.
  7. Yeah, not sure why he'd play in the HR Derby if he's too injured to participate in the All-Star Game. I mean, I know he just has to stand there and hit, but I'm really surprised he'd even take that risk.
  8. Everything our manager does is wrong!
  9. Using this logic, Braun shouldn't be in it because, if my guess is correct, he's not one of the more popular players in the league right now.
  10. Man, it's so nice to see Aramis hit a game-winner FOR us instead of against us.
  11. Uh, what is this? I turned the game off to eat dinner after the Brewers went up 9-2. I hold each and every one of you responsible.
  12. The sights, sounds, crowd, atmosphere, the fun of "being there," etc. Those are all things that aren't factors for a scout.
  13. a) As has been said, who's to say Kemp didn't ask Braun? b) The picks are fine. Stanton is a beast - who wouldn't want to see him in the derby? Gonzalez is fantastic. Beltran has 20 dingers and is having a really nice comeback seasoon. And of course Kemp would pick himself. c) Who cares?
  14. And then the announcers questioned why Stanton wasn't running on contact on the Ramirez/Izturis "double dive" play.
  15. That wasn't the easiest ball to get to for anybody. If the CF can get to a ball, he has priority over everybody (within reason, of course - he's not going to take a can of corn away from the RF, for example).
  16. How so? If Morgan stays at first, Ramirez's 3rd out becomes a 2nd out sac fly. Ah, so you're assuming that Braun's AB would've gone exactly the same, Morgan would've made it to 3rd on Braun's chopper, and Ramirez's AB would have gone exactly the same way. I see.
  17. So he tried to stretch a single into a double that had no business being anythimg more than a single? Not really. Hanley got a glove on it and it trickled into the outfield. It ended up in a sort of no man's land where Morgan thought he could make it to second before Hanley could get to the ball and throw him out. So, no it's not that it had no business being anything more than a single - when I was watching, I thought Morgan might have a shot. So he did he, apparently.
  18. Guess I'm a loner in the "I don't mind the attempt" camp.
  19. I believe I read that Lynn made it on the player vote, which took place before his last two bad games.
  20. Actually, it is typically the one All-Star game that lots of people DO care about.
