My original point being that
Seth Smith has pretty good number no matter what inning it is.

Is it just me..
Or does it feel like we’re winning this game? But I look up at the scoreboard and it’s TIED. Lol
Feels like we're losing it.

From my experience,
having lived in CO, and on the east coast, it’s like two completely different worlds. Different universes, actually.
Yep. I can see where it would feel like a foreign country
That definitely works both ways, in my experience.

Heh
This reminds me of how my dad always complains whenever lawmakers from the east coast want to lower speed limits. How they don’t get that you simply cannot go only 55 or 60 through many parts of the western states.
Are these NY state lawmakers?
It’s not like most east coasters drive slowly.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
I don't know.
I just know the speed limit issue comes up every now and then and east coast lawmakers don’t get how desolate much of the west is. It’s not about driving slow as it is about there being nothing around for hundreds of miles.
They should all required to drive 55 through Kansas once
And they will gladly bump the speed limit to 90
Gladly sharing a name with Dexter Fowler!
by ShadowPenguin on Sep 2, 2009 9:11 PM MDT up reply actions
Exactly what my dad would say.
Although I think he’s generally pretty okay with 75 (which means going at least 80).
If you've ever driven 55 through upstate NY
even though parts are pretty, you’d want the speed limit bumped up.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Went 90 on the Jersey Turnpike
two years ago. Well, I wasn’t the one driving, but we went 90. And we avoided all the troopers along the way.

Just some good-natured fun. I love NYC.
One whole half of my family is from NYC, and it is rather amusing when they visit some of the places we’ve lived over the years. The first time someone born and raised in Brooklyn visits a place like Iowa, that could be a reality show on its own, right there.
The worldview’s definitely a bit different…

A lot of scouting reports before the season said that his fielding skills would be best suited in right
though I’m quickly changing my opinion on that there.

So who needs to Goldon thong more?
Barmes or Hawpe?
That could be uncomfortable to catch in

Maybe Hawpe put it on between at bats
"Good teams win games, horse**** teams have meetings." - Ozzie Guillen
Honestly, Hawpe has been struggling more than he did in the 1st half
but he carried a .310 avg until like August( I think)…he’s really not as bad as everyone seems to think
does it matter?
the only reason his average looked decent in those months is because of how hot he started. that has nothing to do with his actual performance in those months.
everyone be nice

I"m not a stathead..
but I think his trend for the better part of the season has been rock solid and clutch. He’s hit over .300 for most of the season April through July. For the past 2 months its dropped off. But when he’s hitting its clutch typically, 2 out, RISP, and tonight a double that got the rally going after Tulo walked. For me, I’d rather see a CarGo left, Dex CF, Hawpe right.
That’s just my opinion. I don’t see how you can ignore over .300 hiting for most of the season..
I think Seth has a great shot at being a better than .300 hitter
as well and he’s a better defensive player. Look, don’t get me wrong, I really like Hawpe and I’m not excited to see him gone, but this team might have a better OF w/ Dex, Cargo, and Smith.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
Here's the issue, he's completely caught in one of the best problems in baseball
Which is, too many good players on a team. With CarGo and Fowler being all electric, fast, and awesome and whatnot, you can’t help but to give them starts. Also, Smith is way more clutch than Hawpe is, and you can’t even argue that. He’s almost as good a hitter as Hawpe, and a better fielder. When Fowler is not injured, Smith is unrightly the odd man out, because Hawpe is the veteran. Relax for now though, because Hawpe won’t be going anywhere soon, but in the offseason, trading him would be the correct baseball move because Smith is the better upcoming player.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
At least, until after the postseason and then tinker away.
That's what I had said
No way is he going anywhere now, but after the postseason, trading him at a high value would be the right move.
Yeah, I was agreeing with you.
I will say this rather emphatically: Brad Hawpe must be traded in the offseason.

I don't think that type of change should be made now
and I think Hawpe has turned himself into an above average hitter, so credit him for that, but in the off season I think the Rox will look to possibly deal Hawpe.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
Didn't Hawpe hit a double in the middle of that rally?
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!

Yes!
I will guiltily admit that I was hoping for a solo home run, just so I could nail my score in the prediction competition ;-)
I have to say,
I kind of like to see Ubaldo and Morales Finishing off the competition. That could be a deadly combo for years to come
I know it is, but I still have vision of Jimenez, Morales, 1-2 in the rotation
dominant righty, then dominant lefty
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
I think I would prefer that too
but Franklin has taken very nicely to the bullpen. As far as starters go, it seems like if you have a guy who has the potential to start and dominate, he needs to be starting. I hope he gets a look next year with Marquis likely being gone.
I'm pretty sure he will.
He just has to stay in the bullpen the rest of this year because he’s been dominant and because he’s not stretched out enough. But I really want him to start next year, a guy with his arsenal.
I am completely on board w/ this statement, I hope he gets a shot in ST
but this year I am ready to see him dominate out of the pen
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
what time is the game tomorrow?

As a guy who studies stats, RMN naturally thinks that wins are a useless tool
So naturally, head asplode.
it is cool
just more indicative of a good team than good individual pitchers ;-)
