Why is Murphy batting 5th? RW should swap Murphy and Davis.

hmm

well we know that he’s not better than:

clemens
randy johnson
pedro martinez
greg maddux

but he’s certainly on par with or better than

schilling
glavine (a shoe-in given his 300 wins)
john smoltz
mariano rivera
trevor hoffman
troy percival
jimmy key
kevin brown
kenny rogers
andy pettitte

the question is, “how many pitchers that were great between about 1993 thru 2008 should get in?”

mussina certainly is putting up great numbers this year (10 wins) and looks like he could pitch a couple more.

I disagree with a couple of those.

Mussina is not on par with Smoltz and Rivera. Those guys are much more Hall-worthy, IMO.

If he pitches a few more years

and can get to 300 wins, he’ll be in. He will probably get 20 for the first time in his career this year which means he’ll have to get 30 wins over the rest of his career and is looking good still pitching for a great offense. I don’t think he deserves it that much, but there is something to say for his durability and consistently above average+ performance.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

OT: Headed out to the game tomorrow at Yankees Stadium

My buddy and I decided to go down to NYC tomorrow night on a whim and see the game. I figured this would be my only chance this year to catch the Rangers in person. I would prefer to go Wed night for the Ponson/ Mendoza showdown but my work schedule wont allow for it.

Oh yeah, we are definitely rocking the Navy Uniforms. Military gets half price tickets on the lower bowl section and when you’re in NYC in uniform the free drinks flow freely. I’ll post pictures and a story on Wednesday of the experience.

nope

i think blalock either needs to go back to third if vazquez has cooled down, or we will have traded bradley and he can DH for a while until we figure out what to do.

Salty/Max

is nice but Salty a lot more value than Laird. If we can’t get a great offer than keep Salty and trade Laird.

by Coolbean04 on Jun 30, 2008 6:04 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

in any case

we just need him to perform. either look good enough to get max trade value, or good enough that we can feel safe committing to him as the long term catcher.

I'm not in love with Salty

But if you’re going to platoon, he does hit righties pretty well. (.283/.358/.453 career Maj. League.) I did think Ramirez looked pretty sharp behind the plate last night, though.

by sggut95 on Jun 30, 2008 6:05 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Kind of

But that’s over 265 AB. (Has 425 career major league at bats. Hits .200/.250/.306 v LHP.)

...

4 hits, 2 BBs, in his last 16 PAs with a double and a triple being 2 of those hits. Again, signs are pointing to him starting to heat up rather than continuing on a cold streak.

umm

if he went 1-4 each day with that one hit being a HR, that’s pretty damn valuable. Saying he doesn’t belong in the lineup because he is hitting .286 in his last 14 ABs with an .875 OPS is stupid. He’s not currently in a huge cold streak.

he has 11 hits in his last 16 games with only ONE multi hit games in there, thats also a beautifull 11 for 55 so, i guess i get it a guy batting .200 over the last half month should be starting every day you guys are rediculous

by blueballlefty on Jun 30, 2008 6:27 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You said

he is in a massive cold streak. How does a massive cold streak end? By putting up good numbers in more recent games. That is what Byrd did. What he did in a 10 game stretch a week ago doesn’t matter to whether or not he should start today. For the month of June, he is hitting .282/.380/.436 in 92 PAs. As I’ve said, in the past 4 games, he has an .875 OPS in 16 PAs. But again, w/e, look at the 55 ABs he’s had as of late that ignores the 2 double and a single game he had right before that too.

he also had 2 walks in one game

with 2 of his hits being a double and a triple…Thus, you end up with an .875 OPS instead of just a .250 BA.

then shouldn’t you also look at when they start getting hot. Like at a time when, I don’t know, they hit something to the tune of an .875 OPS in the recent 4 games?

and again

going 1 for 4 four games in a row is not breaking out, also getting walks doesnt mean your getting hot, you cant tell me you think Byrd should have started 14 games in a row at the expense of Boggs that just doesnt make any sense.

by blueballlefty on Jun 30, 2008 6:39 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

If you can't

get your facts straight, there really is no point in arguing. He has 3 1-4 games. He has one 1-2 game where he got a single and two walks. Two of his hits in that span were a double and a triple. Therefore, you have an .875 OPS which is signs that he is heating up again. He plays a great CF, he can bring back something valuable in a trade, he has had a great June overall. You’re picking the wrong time to bitch about Byrd getting playing time. That time was a few games ago.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

this is useless logic clearly isn’t apart of your dictionary, even if the little byrdie was hitting .500 over the last 4 games he still shouldnt be STARTING 14 games in a row, all this is, is Ron playing favorites and another example of his bad managing. So BlueBall out (on byrd)

Another episode of "TR Sullivan says the darndest things":

From his latest mailbag:

I have read that Tampa Bay is in the market for an everyday right fielder and bullpen specialist. Would Bradley, Nelson Cruz and Guardado be enough to pry David Price away from them?
—Matt J. Garland, Texas

No. You generally don’t trade the No. 1 overall pick for a short-term package, even one that attractive. The Rays see Price being a No. 1 starter for many years to come.

Did he seriously just intimate Bradley/Cruz/Guardado make a package “attractive” enough to accquire somebody like Price?

i dont think you can really blame him for that at bat

he took 3 balls and 2 pitches that if they were strikes were barely strikes and not good ones to swing at. then with 2 strikes he took a defensive swing at one a little more outside that the strike calls…

tough at bat, but i dont think he looked terrible or anything.
