Steve Phillips
Picks Boston as AL’s best offensive team. How can they be a better offense when the only stat they lead Texas in is OBP, which is by one point.
He says he knows Texas has scored more runs but Boston has more ways to score runs. Then why aren’t they??

Because they don't have the MURPHINATOR!

First game using MLB TV
How much of a delay is the premium feed of MLB compared to watching the television broadcast?
by SaltyGoesYard on Jun 15, 2008 12:05 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I heard the 800K is nominal and the 1.2 meg feed is like 30 seconds
I’m on the cheap 400K feed and it varies… sometimes only a few seconds, sometimes as much as 15
by Inkara1 on Jun 15, 2008 12:07 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
So the better the feed is
The longer the delay??
by SaltyGoesYard on Jun 15, 2008 12:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
1.2 can be sometimes 45 seconds behind 400K
I would think 400 is behind more than 15 seconds behind TV

the Mets announcers pointed out..
that he’s doing more of a side step with his delivery. He’s using more upper body than legs, I’m sure because of his injury….Ron Darling pointed that out.. That must have a lot to do with it.

Stuff-wise, Padilla can be a #1
It’s the mental part that holds him back
by Inkara1 on Jun 15, 2008 1:23 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
If Padilla
finishes the season as strong as he has started it, he is currently on pace to win 19 games, pitch around 200 innings, have an ERA below 4, His peripherals, though, don’t seem to support his performance thus far. His ERA+ is 107. Nevertheless, his stuff is comparably to a #1 starter. He also has had a couple seasons where he has pitched like an all-star (2002 and 2003).
While I am not sure that he is a “legit ace”, I would go as far as saying he is a top of the rotation starter capable of being an ace.

I get blacked out on it with every game involving the Angels
I’m just not sure whether the second game of the doubleheader will fall under the “national live blackout” or not… ATL/LAA does because it’s the Sunday Night game, but there have been times inyears past where the Rangers had a Sunday Night game that wasn’t the one ESPN televised and I couldn’t watch
by Inkara1 on Jun 15, 2008 2:51 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes they do.
• National Live Blackout (Regular Season): Due to Major League Baseball national exclusivities, for each Saturday game beginning April 19, with a scheduled start time after 1:10 PM ET or before 7:05 PM ET, and for each Sunday game that begins after 5:00 PM ET, all scheduled webcasts of such games will be blacked out.

The way Fx2 pitched his last time out
I would rather put him in with a 6 run lead instead of a tight game.

look at history and situational performance instead of just blank statements. i have no reason to stand up for frankie
by kumizi on Jun 15, 2008 2:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
frankie
obviously he is struggling but as a manager, you are supposed to use your player’s strengths. Both Frankie and CJ have struggled in non crunch situations. Frankie has been very good when he comes in with runners on and in a close game.
Of course you want him to be mentally stronger and excel in both situations but in a 8-2 game, wouldnt you want a guy like Mathis or Rupe with good control just throwin strikes in there?
by kumizi on Jun 15, 2008 2:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
"mathis and rupe with good control"`
and that kills the conversation

they have both had decent control especially compared to frankie

I would have you say you would be wrong.

by SaltyGoesYard on Jun 15, 2008 2:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
it has nothing to do with logic
it has to do with facts.
im not on stats inc or anything but i wonder what CJ’s stats are like in a 4+ run game versus a 3- run game.
by kumizi on Jun 15, 2008 2:57 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Your either
A good pitcher who can get hitters out.
Or your a bad pitcher with bad controll.
The situation dictates nothing. There is no such thing as a “Closer” either, just a pitcher who comes out and pitches the 9th inning.

i think it should have been wright or mathis.
lets quit arguing about frankie because im not really sure what arguement we are even trying to make anymore.

So...
Now, if we have a lead late in the second game, we’re going to have to use Mathis and Rupe to preserve it, because Frankie couldn’t get his crap together.

who do you think should have started this inning?
im not being a smartass. honestly wondering what you think.

Mathis
Mainly because we had a 6 run lead.
