Delay?

Any word on if this will start on time?

by B4TheFlop on Sep 23, 2011 6:31 PM EDT reply actions  

I'd expect some sort of delay

They’ve had the tarp on the field, and probably still do, but it should stop raining sometime after seven for at least good while. They’d still need time to prepare the field-call it 30 minutes to an hour, I’d say.

My buddy and I just decided that the braves would be set if we could get Matt Kemp, Jose Reyes, and Albert Pujols.

The tarp is off the field.

We might get this one in.

Injury updates for those who are behind

Moylan is done for the year, Hanson experienced some pain/soreness in this rehab start and won’t pitch Wednesday (given that, it’s doubtful he’d be available to start for the Division series).

So yeah, the hits keep on coming.

That will continue to be a great strategy w/ Game of Thrones, especially if you haven’t read the books. Since there’s going to be so many more characters, it’s much easier to remember who is who when watching them consecutively rather than weekly.

Of course

That’s extremely reasonable since Roy Halladay is better than Cliff Lee by almost any measurement. We have a case where Hudson is the veteran, and will be called the ace, when Beachy and Hanson have probably been better.

Well, the problem is, if he's not healthy enough to go on Wednesday

When is he going to get time to prepare before he’s out there in the playoffs? I don’t know if he’ll have much of a chance to get in any work he needs to properly test himself.

I’m upset because this means Derek Lowe pitches in the postseason, even though Minor would be a much better choice.

If you want to get a little creative with it (not a terrible prospect considering these injuries) Minor has a very impressive GB% and HR% (destroyed by his last outing though) but if we want to get tendencies he could be a nice choice, and probably more palatable to most than Lowe, whose GB% tendency is also fairly strong.

Honestly, Does Fredi know what he's doing?

I hate to be ‘Mr. Hindsight’ here, but the guy comes in and throws 7 straight balls nowhere near the plate. He then throws one borderline strike at the knees and Fredi couldn’t help himself from putting on the Hit and Run.

I just wish he would do less in-game managing. I’m sure he means well and wants to generate more runs out of a below-average offense. But those things actually hurt the offense.

I’ve been very critical of him all season, but I actually do think he’s pretty good (compared to the average MLB manager) about pulling starters and bullpen management, with a few quibbles here and there. It is the in-game stuff that hurts: hit and runs, steals, bunts, and IBBs. Pinch hitting decisions are hit or miss, too.

By and large, all the player quotes suggest that they like Fredi. That’s great – not a lot of teams can say that. Combine that with less in-game managing and I think he’s an above-average MLB manager.

I do hope so

but still worried that Huddy wanted to try and pitch out of the inning and that the injury will get worse b/c he threw some extra pitches after he first felt it…

He did everything but wave a white flag. Squatting on the mound after every batter, pulling his neck, etc.
Plus the loss of velocity and hits one after another should have also been a clue.

Bourn got caught in a rundown between second and third, ball dropped and both he and Chipper converged on second. Then they caught chipper in a rundown between first and second, which allowed Bourn to go to third, and scored when no one was covering home

by Shocked on Sep 23, 2011 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

Chipper grounder

Michael Bourn wandered off of second. Nationals pitcher tried to catch him in a run down, but on a throw back to third, the ball was dropped, so Bourn retreated to second. Chipper was kind already at second, so they tried to run down Chipper, who kept it going long enough for Bourn to scamper back to third, and then no one covered home plate, so Bourn just kept on going.
