Lineup

Man, these last few games I look at our lineup and I think, surely there must be better options. But then I realize, with injuries, not so much. At least Iannetta is in there today. Too bad Spilly got hurt yesterday and Baker is still (I assume) day-to-day.

Actually

I don’t mind this lineup in this injury purgatory we’re living in nowadays, but I don’t know if I can bring myself to watch a game in which my team sends Glendon “What’s the” Rusch to the mound against Ben “I’m going to strike out 20 Rockies tonight” Sheets.

by denver_sc on Jul 9, 2008 6:06 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I dont know

I dont think the lineup is terribly bad, I have seen worse. Anything with Choo, and Mohr was definitely worse. Besides, Venison could do something good. Also, at least we have Atkins, Hawpe, and Holliday (even if Hawpe is a poor mans Adam Dunn)

by MohrPlease on Jul 9, 2008 6:06 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

at least

there’s only 5 automatic outs in the lineup tonight, as opposed to the 6 last night

yeah, so

have you guys/gals heard that Barmes name has come up in trade rumors with both the Pads and the Dodgers? I’d be inclined to trade him if we can get a decent return…after all he was a pumpkin for a long time.

by moomacher on Jul 9, 2008 6:45 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm not surprised by his name in rumors.

But I would be surprised to see him get traded. He’s a cheap guy, won’t be a big resign, and he can play anywhere.

As for the return, I don’t see it being too high. The upside would probably be to keep him, as he’s a sure .275 hitter who can play anywhere. You may lose that in a trade.

by roxintober on Jul 9, 2008 6:47 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

At this point I'm open to whatever improves the team for next year

and if throwing Barmes in with Atkins or Holliday gets us a legit starter, then we should go for it. Because my read of the tea leaves is that our ‘09 rotation strategy is going to be the same as this year’s: “hope the young guys figure it out.” And that has worked out really well.

And this, describing a potential CC to LA trade...

Rosenthal describes the Dodgers as a “near-impossible trading partner.”

The Dodgers could’ve gotten CC Sabathia, Casey Blake, and Jamey Carroll without giving up Matt Kemp. Owner Frank McCourt may have killed the deal, though he denies it. Rosenthal describes the Dodgers as a “near-impossible trading partner.”

He needed a good sacrificial lamb

so he can as much of his bench as possible just in case something happens later on. Might as well have our pitcher go with Hurdle’s small ball philosophy as opposed to letting a PH do the same thing. I swear, it makes sense.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Jul 9, 2008 7:50 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We do have a short and not very good bench today. I assume Baker’s not available.

nah

you play to win the game. Saving pinch hitters when you’re up 4-1 is not playing to win the game. Pulling your pitcher with runners on base in order to score more runs is playing to win the game.

by Ghoulowitzki on Jul 9, 2008 7:54 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I didn't say I advocated his philosophy

just offering a possible logical reasoning as to why he does it. To me, it’s baffling, but delving into Hurdle’s mind is always a memorable experience, so I like to take a stab at it every so often.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Jul 9, 2008 7:55 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Just because his logic

doesn’t necessarily fit within the apparently closed box of “normal” logic, doesn’t mean it isn’t logic. Maybe I should have called it “Hurdlelogic” and appease the masses.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Jul 9, 2008 7:59 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Giving up

all those outs really kills a possible big inning.

But I’ve had the game on, and following along here at the Row as best I could. The odd thing…both times I’ve stopped to actually watch were identical. Pods RBI (w/ Q on), then thrown out at 2nd. Twilight Zone material. Or Groundhog Day.

Yup

Seriously though, this sells it for me get Koshansky out of here. Bobbled a grounder twice at least already, and whiffs on a catchable ball there.

by moomacher on Jul 9, 2008 8:04 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Personally,

I’ve been of the idea that Stewart needs not see the big club for the rest of the year. I realize I’m most likely alone in that opinion, but I would like to see him next year at the earliest and let him continue his development down there for the remainder of this year.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Jul 9, 2008 8:07 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Those were the first runs he’s given up in over 3 weeks. Even if it had been his fault, we can’t blame a reliever for giving up only two runs in 3 weeks.

by dogs on Jul 9, 2008 8:02 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm not blaming Manny for anything.

I happen to be quite a fan of Corpas, and have remained supportive of him throughout this trying season. I still think he’s going to form a potentially dominant back of the bullpen with Weathers in the near future. Was just mearly stating that it’s unfortunate when a pitcher is pitching well and still gives up runs because of the defense behind him.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Jul 9, 2008 8:06 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I know:

I was just reading Corpas’s recent stats and was looking for an opportunity to insert that little nugget about 3+ scoreless weeks (10 appearances). I understood your sentiment about the suckiness of his plight tonight. .

Every success is an aberration. We need at least 4 more runs.

yea, i got the sarcasm

Which is to say....

Poor defense. Low batting average. Outrageous strikeout numbers. And the absolutely gawdy power when the pitcher makes a mistake. Fun to watch, but really makes me appreciate Helton’s glove.

He's the same shaky closer

with a 5 run lead or a 1 run lead. It doesn’t matter. I’d prefer we traded him in the top of the 9th so he didn’t have a chance to put him in. I’d really like to win.
