Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 14, 2004 While the teams weren't mad about the play that caused Posada's injury, Anaheim's Jose Guillen was still angry about a high-and-tight pitch from Yankees reliever Paul Quantrill in the eighth inning Wednesday night. ``I'm not afraid of him,'' Guillen said. ``We'll take care of business if he wants.''Said He wanted to, you refused. I believe the kiddies call that being a "pussy ass bitch", Jose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 14, 2004 Why, what happened in yesterday's game? It got ugly. Guillen pulled a Manny on PQ, Ben Molina tried to tell A-Rod how to play baseball, and the Angels dugout started laughing at PQ. You do NOT laugh at the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.

Mik 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 Juan Pierre just tripled in the tying run in the top of the 9th in Houston. Dotel has yet to record an out, 2 walks and a triple. The triple could be called an "Alkeiper special", as Pierre was trying to sac bunt, but failed and ended up launching an RBI triple. Moneyball baby. For once another team's bullpen is having a meltdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The triple could be called an "Alkeiper special", as Pierre was trying to sac bunt, but failed and ended up launching an RBI triple. Moneyball baby. Yeah, Biggio should have caught that ball. I didn't think he would get to it, but he did and then basically dropped it. Should have been out #1, but the Astros' below average centerfielder cost them the tying run. That's Moneyball, too: below average defense doesn't hurt you very much. It's a flawed philosophy, in my opinion. Craig Biggio playing centerfield is fine in a 10-2 game, but Craig Biggio in centerfield in a 2-1 game is disaster waiting to happen. If he doesn't drop that ball, I think the Marlins don't win because Nunez never would have made it around - they didn't get another hit off Dotel after the triple. Regardless, the Astros lost and the Cubs won, so I'm happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted May 14, 2004 don't the Astros have a guy to replace Biggio with a one run lead in the 9th? or should I say, why don't the Astros have a guy to replace Biggio with a one run lead in the 9th? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 That's Moneyball, too: below average defense doesn't hurt you very much. It's a flawed philosophy, in my opinion. Craig Biggio playing centerfield is fine in a 10-2 game, but Craig Biggio in centerfield in a 2-1 game is disaster waiting to happen. First off, Moneyball does not prescribe that philosophy. It simply states that you can make an estimation of how defensive moves will effect your team. That done, you can measure whether the offense will offset the hit in defense. Sabermetric teams do not punt defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 Figured someone would have posted this by now but it's Carlos Beltran trade rumor time: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/baseball/173371_mari14.html Bavasi said no deals are near, but rumors are circulating the Red Sox and Royals are trying to entice the Mariners into a three-way trade. Boston would trade pitcher Byung Hyun Kim and, possibly, outfielder Johnny Damon to the Mariners in exchange for pitcher Freddy Garcia and minor league starter Cha Seung Baek. If the Red Sox could get the Mariners to bite, Garcia would then be shipped to Kansas City, with outfielder Carlos Beltran going to Boston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like it kind of defeats the purpose of trading Beltran if they get nothing for the future. The Royals should just let Beltran leave via free agency and take draft picks. Then they'd get two guys in return under their control for six years of major league service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
