I was just wondering something about Mac....
We all know he’s not hitting. We also know his throws to second have all sailed into the outfield this season. I’m wondering if the two are related? And my theory is that since it’s only his right eye messed up, maybe his depth perception is off.
Any thoughts?
"Never doubt Derek Lowe's ability to win despite himself."
by EricGreggWasPaidOff on May 9, 2010 3:42 PM EDT reply actions
Yes
Eyes are related to pretty much everything.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I meant the depth perception thing specifically – as in he’s not calibrating his throws to second properly because he can’t gauge the distance correctly.

I’m not sure that’s the case. He only has to pick up the X and Y position of the ball to catch it. Z is less relevant, since it’s going to come straight to him.

by EricGreggWasPaidOff on May 9, 2010 3:46 PM EDT up reply actions
I could see that
No pun intended. But that rationale makes sense. Plus it’d make you rethink each action.
most likely true. I found out after my playing career was over I was a better left handed hitter than right handed (though I was always RH when playing competitvely) because I was right eye dominant and when that eye was in the front batting lefty I picked up the ball much better. So the eye dominance may be the real issue.

He did kinda make my arguement about how he doesn’t give up a lot of HRs rather weak.
5 HRs in his last two games – all of the solo shot variety…

Solo shots are even devastating when the team struggles to score. I don’t think people would complain too much of KK lead baseball in DLWs, because at least we’d still be winning games
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

god...
i’m blaming this loss solely on him. I mean…he was pathetic…did you see him make those shitty plays at 3rd base and short stop…and damnit…doesn’t he know that he has to run to melky cabrera and grab the ball out of his glove and throw it home for him…he’s so fucking horrible

on the non-sarcastic side
he did give up 3 HRs though…

Yeah, it’s out of character for him to be giving up the bombs – but we are in CBPB and the Phillies are awesome.

Fer rizzle.
Imagine what we could do with a Crawford-Werth-JHey OF.
Now mop up all the tears you just in a puddle beneath you.
And he, if anyone, deserves it.

I don't know
He’s going to be 31. 15-16M a year seems the elite going rate these days for anyone not named Howard or Pujols, that would require a 7 year deal. I could see him getting a Bay-style deal, 4-5 years, but 7-8 is a little much.
Yeah, I don’t think he’ll get 100+ either

Don't get your hopes up.
Either Chipper has to retire or Kasten has to get the Fount O’ Money flowing or there’s no way. But I would wet myself if we get him, he’s phenomenal.

Chipper, Omar, Prado, Heyward

Question time:
Should Heyward lead off the 9th for the pitcher or does Bobby wait and see if Melky comes up with a runner on?

chipper should lead off the 9th
although heyward’s OBP is just as good as chippers, chipper can still take a walk with the best of ’em and then we will have some power in the tank when we need to ph for melky
Lead off with Hinske, save Heyward…that’s what I would do.

I’d rather Hinske come up with a chance for extra base power, which I’m not convinced Chipper has right now. So let Chipper work a walk or get a base knock first.
When you've said Jason Heyward, you've said it all.........
i disagree with this
chipper with the better plate discipline, maybe he’s too hurt
C'mon Hinske....get a rally started.

Look at the bright side
The Braves were 0-7 on their last road trip. We’re 2-4 now this time, at least.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
So the Phillies get 3 solo shots that don’t get doomed by the wind, and we hit two almost-goners that the wind rejects.
The wind plays for the home team.

Not that bad.

wild part is
that it seems like our record is so much worse. We’re 5 under for the way we’re playing and I’ll take it. We’re too good to keep this up.
It’s so rare that I want to blame the weather, but man, it sucked to see those flags whipping around and seeing balls knocked down in the sky.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
That was some seriously selective wind.
Knocked down both our shots in the 9th, but didn’t contain the Phuckers…
despite the total bullshit that is the wind
it was fun…have a good rest of the day fellas! Happy Mother’s Day to everyone’s mom!!!
I'm glad to be leaving this city....

Off to enjoy a steak dinner on the grill. Maybe next time.

Than 5 under at the end of the season… still plenty of ball left to play.

We've been saying this for a month now.
I’m trying to maintain my sanity and my reason here, but seriously, when do we (and by we I mean the folks that are actually in a position to make the call) finally start saying some kind of change is in order, starting yesterday? We can’t just keep plodding along like this or we’re gonna look up one day and realize that it’s NOT too early anymore, that there ISN’T plenty of baseball left to play, and that we ARE screwed.
Oh well
Always a pleasure chatting up with creepy internet acquaintances. Take care everyone
