Colorado Rockies @ Milwaukee Brewers
What better way is there to welcome Sabathia to the National League then to wallop him? Yeah, I know, many of you have your doubts about that. It could happen.
Go Rockies!
Have to whip up my own stat table for Sabathia since our stat provider doesn't have his Cleveland numbers available.
| W-L | G | GS | CG | SHO | SV | BS | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | K | ERA | WHIP | |

C.C Sabathia |
6-8 | 18 | 18 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 122.3 | 117 | 54 | 52 | 13 | 34 | 123 | 3.83 | 1.23 |

Anyone else surprised by this Harden/Gaudin trade?
Cubs basically traded spare parts in the other direction. Like the equivalent of Spilly/Barmes/McKenry/Morales?

I wouldn't call those players spare parts
In fact Oakland did quite well getting value from a guy that CANNOT stay healthy and has watched his velocity decline in recent weeks. Harden has ZERO reliability and very little in game durability. He basically can throw effectively for 90 pitches, and his start Sunday was merely so-so.
Gallagher- Number three type with good curve and innings eating body. Not the better single game competitor that Harden is, but over the course of a season, I’m not so sure Gallagher’s value wouldn’t be higher.
Murton- Not a huge fan, as he’s a borderline starter/fourth outfield type. Could add some punch to punchless A’s. If you got Murton for Gaudin, that’s a pretty equal trade.
Patterson- Highly underrated second base prospect that was good enough defensively at second and should have been left there by Chicago. Won’t be an all star, but could be pre Cleveland Josh Barfield with more speed.
Donaldson- Not having the best year, but may be my favorite piece for Beane here. Good bat speed and overall hitting profile for a catcher. Raw at the position and will need more work developing his defense, but should be a plus athletically. Could be Michael Barrett with better defense.

Surprised
that Beane didnt press for a little better offer somewhere else. Seems very favorable for the Cubs to me

Redman vs. Sabathia
Any realistic chance we pull of a minor miracle tonight?
by muzia02 on Jul 8, 2008 5:54 PM MDT 0 recs
possibly
since Sabathia is in the midst of a change of league/team….spotlight on him etc…..but unless redman finds jesus christ….we better score a lot of runs tonight
this team is utter rubbish...

The Brewers are my #2 team,
so I’m getting a little secondary pleasure out of this debut. Too bad it’s against my #1 team, though.

That lineup?
vs. Sabathia?
I think Hurdle just wants C.C. to have a nice first start with the Brewers. “Just so they like him and all!”

Gameday has Redman's fastball at
84 mph, and his slider at 84 mph…
What he have here is what we call in my neighborhood the “gravity ball.” Where the ball doesn’t sink by break, but by the fact that it’s not going to reach home before the earth pulls it down.
I believe the pitch is also known as the “meatball” in some parts of the Milwaukee dugout.
by David OhNo on Jul 8, 2008 6:25 PM MDT 0 recs
Sometimes useful
for the fact that MLB hitters can’t adjust to 8th grade level stuff and actually don’t get hits (see, for instance, the last 3 hitters) but mostly noted for padding statistics.

I protest this call-up
because it lacks insight. With Helton down for an extended period, the Rockies have their best chance to take a look at an infield including BOTH Stewart and Atkins, which should provide both a short term and long term advantage.
Instead, it looks like we are using the “take turns” strategy.

This is the Rockies we are talking about.
So stuff you’d think make sense….yeah. It’s just kind of an alternate strategy.

I agree
the Nix callup reeks too much of the “we’re good guys, we’re giving this guy another chance” approach rather than any legitimate effort to win games or build for the future.

You just reminded that I need to stop by and pickup my Psych S2 DVD on my way home.
In other news, that was a really quick 3 outs. Too bad it came after 3 runs were scored.

over half of our lineup is an automatic out! Sweet, I don’t have to watch this game anymore.

just swung with all the intensity of a guy that knows for certain he’s going to strike out…shocking nobody when he did.

We have no chance of winning this game
what with the lineup of FAIL, and tomorrow is even worse. Rusch vs. Sheets? Good lordy lord. Sad that our only chance for a split rests on the suspect shoulders of JDLR.
