Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants, Aug 26, 2008 8:15 PM MDT
Palmer's had one bad start (2 1/3 IP, 6 R, 4 BB, 0 K) and a decent one (6 IP, 2 R). Third time around . . .
Go Rockies!

I'm here, but not for long
This time change is really screwing with my head. I feel kind of deprived…I can’t check in on the Rox.

I'm here, but
I’m so excited for my American Civil War class that starts tomorrow that I’m already preparing several different historiography topics to choose for my semester paper.

attn: Hurdle
If your best play with your 2 hole hitter is a sac bunt, he shouldn’t be your 2 hole hitter
by Ghoulowitzki on Aug 26, 2008 9:17 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
The difference is that that sac bunt turns into a bunt single more than any other player since 2005.
by roxintober on Aug 26, 2008 9:18 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
not really, because when he sac bunts, he's not trying to get on base
by Ghoulowitzki on Aug 26, 2008 9:19 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I was just implying that he has more bunt singles than anyone.
So that’s kind of a combo play. Its nice to know that the sac will get done, and often times, it goes as a hit. Any other player, and I COMPLETELY agree with you. Willy Ts bat is not to be trusted unless his hands aren’t together.
by roxintober on Aug 26, 2008 9:20 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
which is why Taveras shouldn't be batting 2nd in the first place
Your 2 hole hitter should be able to get on base more than 30% of the time
by Ghoulowitzki on Aug 26, 2008 9:22 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Look at his numbers in the 2 hole.
You’ll be pleasantly surprised. Last I looked his BA is over .320 from that spot.
by roxintober on Aug 26, 2008 9:23 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree, but you can't really argue with the Rox production with this line up.
I have always not liked Willy T, the over valued stolen base, and the bunt play. But Willy T is getting on more right now than he has the rest of the season, regardless of sample size, he’s looking a lot better.
by roxintober on Aug 26, 2008 9:25 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
but you can't say "regardless of sample size"
he’s on a hot streak now and it’s not going to last forever. At some point he will regress to the mean, by definition. And the mean ain’t good.
by Ghoulowitzki on Aug 26, 2008 9:28 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
The mean is actually better than his line right now,
even with the hot streak.
Even with this seasons .316 OBP as of now, his career OBP is .333, so technically he’s just moving up to match his career average.
by roxintober on Aug 26, 2008 9:31 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
And a .333 OBP
is not suitable for the 2 hole, or the leadoff spot for that matter, which was exactly my original point.
by Ghoulowitzki on Aug 26, 2008 9:33 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
And my point was also that I never liked him to begin with
and I also don’t think you should start in Coors with anything less than .300 OBP.
by roxintober on Aug 26, 2008 9:36 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well not my original point,
but if he’s there, don’t let him do what he’s bad at, I guess.
by roxintober on Aug 26, 2008 9:36 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yea, I agree with that
unfortunately, he’s pretty much bad at everything except running fast and defense. He’d be a fine 8th hole hitter if we didn’t have a better option on the bench, which we do. I really can’t wait for him to be off this team.
