    Looks like they walked him to me, he just decided to swing at ball 4 (on the 3-1 pitch).
  2. Ennder
    1 or 2 more insurance runs wouldn't bother me the way the ball has been flying out of here this weekend.
  3. Ennder
    Probably because a lot of lazy fly balls are HRs in that park.

    I'm listening to a houston feed because WTMJ keeps breaking up on me and the announcer keeps referring to all of our players by position instead of name. How lazy is that.

    Over 1 in 3 pitchers ends up on the DL every single season. So far this year 69% of all DL trips have been by pitchers including the majority of major injuries. Sheets had a long term injury that they tried to bring him back ahead of schedule for and there were complications. The next year he had some minor typical pitcher injuries. Yes this is normal for pitchers! Like I said the injury prone thing is just way overplayed(it exists somewhat since he doesn't do a good job with conditioning but not being able to mention his name without laughing about his health is silly), especially the comparisons to Prior, Harden and Schmidt that you get sometimes. Like I said I don't want to sign him but there is no doubt that signing any pitcher to 4+ years is an extreme risk. Odds are against any pitcher staying healthy 4 years in a row and it is pretty darn rare for pitchers to stay healthy 5+ years in a row.

    Right now plus/minus has us at -11. Just 2 weeks ago we were +10 or so, so the defense has had a pretty darn bad two weeks. That is every bit as bad as last year. Whether or not that keeps up is hard to say. We have the worst FIP in the NL so the pitchers are not doing a good job either. Only four teams in the NL have a lower OPS than we do as well. I'm kind of shocked we are still over .500 given how the team has played so far but I also think as a team we have massively underachieved so things will turn around.

    Capuano and Gallardo will both have missed as much time as Sheets over the last 4 years now, Parra probably has as well. Pitchers get injured, it is a fact of life in baseball. Any pitcher we sign long term is incredibly risky. I don't really want to sign Sheets but I just think the whole injury prone thing is so overplayed.
  8. Ennder
    Yes If you go back through the beginning of 2007 they have had one really bad month statistically and that was August of 2007 when they had 119 RS and 173 RA for a 9-18 record. They slumped badly from the last 10 days or so of July until September last year and have played .500+ ball the rest of the time. (yeah we went 14-15 in May but with more RS than RA so just a luck thing and I'd call that .500ish). Losing Gallardo pretty much turns us from a playoff calibre team to a needs a bunch of luck to get in type team though. In my mind he was our most valuable pitcher and only having one guy who can consistently go deep into games is going to kill us. If Sheets goes down I think we are sellers by the trade deadline becuase we do not have the SP to make a run at things.

    Backe was struggling with his command, there was no reason to bring in a lefty to force them to take him out. You bring in your best hitter and face whichever RP they send in. Gwynn is not the best bench guy.
  10. Ennder
    just pathetic
  11. Ennder
    Here is hoping Tony Counsell Jr. can muscle a weak grounder through a hole.
  12. Ennder
    This is a must score inning! That is even better than a must win game.
  13. Ennder
    Well the Brewers probably should have fired Yost at the end of last season but that is a conversation for another day.
  14. Ennder
    Today is probably Bush's day to throw a side session so they'll use him for 1 IP and then he'll make his normal start. It isn't all that unusual though it never seems to turn out well when managers do it.
  15. Ennder
    This was a lot easier to stomach last night when it was real hitters going yard.
  16. Ennder
    I swear, weak hitting catchers and other team's pitchers just destroy us.
  17. Ennder
    So weeks has 3 hard hit balls and only 1 hit for it and I'm sure people will complain about his AVG going down if he gets out 2 more times this game.
  18. Ennder
    Hardy's OPS by month 2005 - .462, .592, .616, .801, .680, .949. So in 2005 he was miserable in the first half, good in july and great in September 2006 - .772, .515. In 2006 he was good in April and miserable in May (43 PA) 2007 - .869, .961, .685, .558, .821, .744. Great in April/May, miserable in June/July, good in August, ok in September. That is hardy good for only 2 months in his career. Personally I give him the benefit of the doubt for that first half of 2005 since he was coming off a major injury and didn't spend enough time in AAA. In June/July of 2007 he was struggling with injuries so there is at least an explanation for the slump. There is no reason to not expect Hardy to pick things up pretty soon. He has shown he can hit major league pitching already, he just needs to get more consistent.
  19. Ennder
    I think you could but at least he has had a decent track record during his career. Hardy has had two good months and has been pretty bad for the rest. Again this simply is not true at all.
  20. Ennder
    That really isn't true. In the second half of his rookie year he was great(.865 OPS). For the first month of his second season he was decent(.772 OPS), he trailed off right before getting hurt. For the first 2 months of last year he was insanely good(.869, .961 OPS). For the last 2 months of last year he was pretty good(.821, .744 OPS). He has been cold for the first half of 2005, a week of the year he got injured, 2 months in the middle of last year and then starting this year. I don't know what to think overall because it is hard to find what the middle ground in all of this is.
  21. Ennder
    Ok then I just disagree in general, next years team should be better than this years outside of Sheets/Gallardo. Parra, Villanueva will have full years of experience hopefully and our other minor league pitching will be closer to the majors. We lose some RP but the money is there to sign more stop gap arms. I don't see why we would change our position on Sheets becasue of the injury. I think Sheets is too big a risk to sign long term, it has little to do with Sheets himself and everything to do with the fact over 1 in 3 pitchers hit the DL every year. Signing a pitcher long term is so risky you can only really do it with someone with a perfect bill of health which very few pitchers hit FA with.
  22. Ennder
    Ok well I'll change it to a vent, people who judge a player by batting average just drive me crazy. Hardy is having a much worse season than Weeks so far, Hall wasn't much better than Weeks before today and just because Weeks BABIP is low so his AVG is under .200 he catches all the complaints. He still has an adequate OBP(higher than say Gwynn would likely have with fulltime play). I just don't get why everyone is pointing at Weeks as the big problem on the team.
  23. Ennder
    This idea confuses me. The injury has nothing to do with next year so shouldnt' change anything.
  24. Ennder
    Yep, we should DFA the MLB leader in runs scored since late July of last year because his AVG isn't high enough in early May.
  25. Ennder
    Typical growing pains of a young pitcher, especially one who is probably a #4/#5 type because of the BBs and FB%.
