    I think it's more that he doesn't see it as a big problem to have Kotsay in CF out of necessity for a total of 45 innings, and I'd agree.

    So, just to clarify, you're criticizing Weeks for ripping a ball in which the second baseman makes a really good diving play to turn two?

    Can we all at least agree that Nyjer HAS to be in the sausage race at some point?

    It seems to me that Casey is never/rarely swinging with his body going straight towards the pitcher. He is either "pulling off" the ball and therefore hitting it off the end of the bat or jamming himself on pitches that he shouldn't get jammed on. There have been tons of times where there's a pitch over the middle of the plate that he doesn't hit with the center of the bat. Obviously, nobody hits hittable pitches well every time, but when guys miss-hit them they either top or bottom the ball, as opposed to Casey, who makes contact too far up or down the bat. Last year, it seemed pretty much automatic that if a ball was over the heart of the plate, he'd square it up, even if it was for an out. And with pitches on the inner or outer halves, he'd be able to adjust his bat position to get the sweet spot where it needed to be.

    On a somewhat related tangent, can we all stop calling outfielders, particularly corner outfielders, lazy whenever it looks like they aren't running full out to field a ball? Usually I read these comments when a ball is hit into the corner for extra bases. People need to realize that players usually have a good feel for where the ball is going to end up, how long it's going to take to get to the ball, and how fast the runner is. When we see a ball hit to the wall and the fielder slows down on his approach, it's not because he doesn't care, it's because a) if he stays in all out sprint, he'll overrun the ball, b) if he stays in an all out sprint and doesn't overrun the ball, he'll likely be in an awkward position to cleanly pick it up and make a throw, and c) he knows that the runner will not go for a triple, even with the extra half second he is taking to get to the ball. When the hitter has really good speed or it's hit in such a place where a triple is very possible, we don't see fielders let up.

    Grunching: He didn't flip the bird. He has his pinky and pointer fingers extended, like a "hook'em horns" sign. I would presume he is emphatically signaling that there are two outs.

    I think part of the perception is simply the way he looks. Tall, lanky guys never look like they are running fast/hard, even if they are. That's not to say that he hasn't slowed down, but part of it, in my opinion, is just perception.

    I have zero problem with pulling Marcum after 7. Let's not forget that he's not far removed from his hip flexor injury. He had thrown 90 pitches, seemed to be giving a little ground possibly at the end there, so you might as well get a fresh Rodriguez in there.

    He is from Cuba.I know that.....but usually vets can speak some English.I thought vets spoke dog or cat or something.

    Looked like Yuni was smirking as he crossed home plate, as if he knew he got lucky. We'll take it gladly, though.
  11. dlk9s
    On the bright side, Kotsay has done pretty well at the plate since playing more after Braun's injury. In the field, not so much.
  12. dlk9s
    I thought it was pretty obvious when it happened that he got spooked when he looked up and the pitcher was right in his throwing lane. It looked like he tried to stop throwing but couldn't.
  13. dlk9s
    Nah, I think it was just a fluke. He could have broken his collar bone or hurt himself in another way if he just laid out for the ball. The somersault helps him avoid a full impact - it just happened that he landed just so, resulting in the injury.
  14. dlk9s
    He's probably more annoyed with his former agent and the Mets' GM than anyone else.

    I come into IGT's expecting to shake my head a lot, but the number of ridiculous statements is impressing me tonight. And I just watched the replay of Prince's strikeout. It wasn't pathetic. Those were some really good pitches by a guy who is in the game to get lefties out. If Mitch Stetter came in and did that, which he has done plenty of times in the past, we'd all say how great he pitched.
  16. dlk9s
    The Home Run Derby ruining swings is a myth. It especially doesn't hurt a guy like Prince, who has a natural, upper cut home run swing, anyway. He's just not playing well right now. It happens.
  17. dlk9s
    Really? You're going there?

    Holy crap, Grienke was awful tonight. Seven innings, two runs. Trade him for Jason Bartlett, please.

    He's pitching well tonight. He served up one solo shot and made a pretty good pitch on the second one.
  22. dlk9s
    You've got to be kidding me on that Montero homer. THAT went out? Are they playing in Houston? The Upton homer was just a crazy bomb on a pitch down the middle. The Montero homer was crap.
  23. dlk9s
    I really doubt it has anything to do with the HR Derby.
  24. dlk9s
    Off the bat, I thought Braun had another first inning homer.

    No, it's not that important for reporters to ask him that. There's no need for the media to grill the manager on every mistake or perceived mistake. While I don't know what goes on in the clubhouse, I think it's safe to assume that if a player makes a mistake, the coaches discuss it with him or with the team. Sometimes it's probably not even necessary to talk about it, as I'm sure most of the time, the player knows he screwed up.
