This Week in Baseball 3/30 - 4/6

Recommended Posts

We aren't a full day into the season and the White Sox crew has already put together a video package of plays where the Sox players have been screwed over by the umpires.

Well, at least Eric Gagne kinda sucks, I think. I wouldn't look for Kerry Wood to be the closer for long, anyway.

And Santana nicely worked himself out of a jam by striking out Wood and Ramirez to end the inning.

 

Oooh! The Marlin Manatees.....what a wonderful use of funds.

The umps in the Mets/Marlins game are in midseason (read: terrible) form. Pitches right down the pipe are being called balls, then a pitch that's 6 inches low or outside is a strike, both of Reyes' hands were on the base and they call him out at 2nd on a steal attempt. None of these judgment calls have even been all that close.

I propose a pair of three-way trades, on May 31 and July 31. The jist of it would be that the Phillies, Cubs and Brewers would all exchange Gagne, Wood and Gordon and hold them for two months apiece.

Shades of Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes for Chicago fans, nice debut, hopefully it turns out better.

Rhodes' performance was actually an option for the most memorable Cubs' Opening Day earlier in the broadcast.

Hey now the Giants are being shut out.

 

This team could seriously break the all time record for fewest runs scored in a season.

 

Please never retire Brian Sabean. Never.

Rickie Weeks is the thin Barry Bonds w/r/t hanging over the plate and being outraged when the ball goes through the strike zone and himself.

For comparison's sake, the 1968 White Sox hold the record for fewest runs in a full 162 game season, with 468. That was a pitchers' paradise, but six position players failed to clear a .300 OBP. Pitcher Joe Horlen posted a 2.37 ERA and got a losing record for his efforts. Pity starters Gary Peters, Cisco Carlos and Bob Priddy. The trio combined for a 3.77 ERA in 59 starts, and went 11-38 combined.
