why does Gallagher have 2 ER?

I thought when an error happens and runs are scored with 2 outs, that every run scored with 2 outs is unearned

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

i think he can K who he wants when he wants. I think he tries to pitch to contact a lot of the time though.

It sure appears that way

Its so weird how dominating he looks at times and then how absent he looks at times!!

by thad728 on Jul 25, 2008 10:36 PM CDT up 0 recs

it's intersting about pitching to contact

Joba was on Kellerman earlier this week and said he actually tries to do that. I’m guessing a lot of pitchers try and do that, but of course, Joba’s stuff is just too nasty…

Josh Hamilton is better than you.

LaRoche and change for Street?!

A new rumor regarding A’s closer Huston Street seems to surface daily, and Friday’s speculation du jour, courtesy of a scout working Oakland’s game against the visiting Rangers, had the A’s sending Street to the Dodgers for third baseman Andy LaRoche “and change.” LaRoche and Street both participated in pre-game warmups with their respective teams Friday night, though, so if a deal is indeed made, it wouldn’t be announced until late Friday night or at some point over the weekend. LaRoche, a 24-year-old right-handed hitter, is batting .214 with two homers, three RBIs and a .333 on-base percentage in 26 games with Los Angeles this season. Also said to be interested in Street, among others, are the Reds, Rays and Brewers; those same three teams and a handful of others have reportedly kicked the tires on the availability of A’s lefty setup man Alan Embree. —Mychael Urban

If this is true, Colleti is more insane than I thought.

Maybe we could convince him to give us Kershaw and Bell for Blalock.

by Gdawg1 on Jul 25, 2008 10:43 PM CDT up 0 recs

It's a little early to call LaRoche a failure.

His upside is still high enough that he’s worth more to a franchise than Huston Street.

“And change” just makes it more laughable.

by philkid3 on Jul 25, 2008 10:45 PM CDT up 0 recs

but he looks to be one of those guys that you’ll be saying that for the next few years and then realize one day that he isn’t that young, promising prospect anymore but a late 20s mediocre Major Leaguer.

Extra innings will have a new look in what could be baseball’s last Olympic appearance.
Each team’s at-bat in the 11th inning and beyond will begin with runners on first and second bases. Teams may start the 11th at any point in their batting order under format changes announced Friday by the International Baseball Federation and adopted in time for next month’s Beijing Games.

For example, a team that opts to lead off with its No. 3 hitter would begin with its No. 1 batter on second base and its No. 2 hitter on first with no outs.

Really?

Or are you just being sarcastic?

Because I think that’s a insult to the sport of baseball, myself. Baseball is not soccer, it doesn’t need it’s own version of penalty kicks. Play the game the right way or don’t play it at all – I’m glad Olympic baseball is no more if they’re going to pull that shit.
