KingPK 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 It seems like some pitchers that sort of fell off last year are having good nights. I'm mainly talking about Tim Hudson and Josh Beckett. Schmidt also had a good night, but our offense is terrible. The power outage is going to kill us. Beckett's success was a bit deceiving. He only gave up two hits, but he walked four and threw only 46 strikes in 94 pitches. He's not going to be very effective if he keeps throwing so few strikes. It was pretty cold, so nobody was throwing breaking pitches all that well. With his fastball, he seems to have learned how to "pitch" instead of "throw".

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Teach him about winning. A lesson in Joining a Contender, taught by Schmidt, Jason. I'm not so sure about that. The Dodgers have been looking up at the Giants in the standings for 90% of Barry's time there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 5, 2007 I was just messin', I'm not stupid. That 90% hasn't turned into anything though. Barry doesn't know how to win a title. That's what I'm trying to say. Barroid can have his tainted records. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Like I edited in, he can have his tainted records. I would rather not win playoff series for my franchise's entire existence, and then get in and win the whole thing in one shot, than get in constantly and fail in October. That one title that the Angels possess is worth more than Barry's trips to the postseason. The Angels aren't my team, but that's my point. I would rather not win playoff games for 20 years and then have a great shot to win the whole thing, than play for a losing team and collect some records. But hey, I'm not Barry. That's why he's hit almost 740 HR's, and I'm sitting here on my computer. Winning is everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Hey, I went to great lengths to say that the Cardinals weren't going to do as well as expected this year, so I'm not really surprised. I didn't expect that they'd be this bad to start off (and, to be fair, I can't see them continuing to have one embarrassing outfield error after another in every game for the rest of the season), but there are some fundamental problems with this club that will plague them all year, some of which were actually positives for the series with the Mets (the pitching performances of Kip Wells and Braden Looper). What's great, though, is that you can see exactly how bad the Cardinals currently are in relation to the rest of the NL (they're hitting .200/.280/.289 as a team!) through BRef, which now maintains and updates their stats in-season.

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Baseball-reference.com keeping up to date stats throughout the year is maybe the most awesome thing ever. Nothing like seeing that Dustin Pedroia has an OPS+ of 270 through one game. I also will try not to misuse this tool in arguments throughout the season. Okay, so I probably will, but I'll try to try not using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
