Eldred 92
I read the other day that Garner had Eldred throw 140 pitches more than once in 1992. I never realized that.
It's all entertainment
I just posted about that in the game thread
It was 1993, a year that was truly murderous for Eldred’s arm. Jesus.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
Well, he did have one 140+ game in 1992
But 1993 really pithed his arm.

That's just to taunt me, isn't it?

CC is cool, but I meant more the phrasing with the picture

I've got to say...
That was the greatest game thread ever. Hands down.
And I’m patting myself on the back for causing the bedlam.

If your hands are down...
how do you pat yourself on the back?

Nooo!

The complete games are awesome,
and Jay’s right that the way CC’s arm feels in what’s important. But the high count tonight just seemed like an unnecesarry risk in my opinion.

That was battlekow, by the way
But I do agree with you.

I want a current player to rip on Russ Hodges
Not only did he also have one of the most memorable calls in the history of the game, but he’s been dead for almost forty years. That’s a double whammy.

So...
… was the US/China baseball game on TV? LaPorta apparently got drilled in the head and suffered a concussion, and ejections followed.
Clearly, someone on the China team said “Vin Scully’s just a dude.”

Same time as Trenni
Hmmmm

you guys suck
I haven’t seen Trenni in a while since they had the home announcers on the road trip and I watched the worldwide leader tonight.
She's still looking nice
Ah there she is again. I’ve got the sound down so I can listen to Ned evade questions and mince words.
News flash: Ryan never strained his intercostal muscle or some other nitpick.
Such a likeable, affable gent that Ned

Hah
I just noticed this, but Josh Hamilton was intentionally walked with the bases loaded and 2 out in the 9th in a 7-3 game yesterday. The Rays got Marlon Byrd to strike out to end the game, but that’s still amusing.

Yeah, David Pinto seemed to think that it happened to Jim Rice in addition to Barry Bonds
Maybe I was just missing the joke or something.

Pinto did just contribute a good Sabathia line, though
You can’t spell “Sabathia” without B-A-T.

Giving Pinto more credit
He updated his Hamilton/Rice post.

Unusually good pitching for two of our young arms in Arizona, in stark contrast to the usual BRRROK-fest
Stosh threw 3 scoreless innings with a hit, a walk, and 3 K’s, and Odorizzi has contributed 2 more scoreless with a hit, a walk, and two K’s.

3 for 4
and Dykstra hitting well along with the tall Ankiel guy with the Nordic name.
I wonder what happened to Mike Marseco? The guy never plays but he is on the roster.
Marseco broke his face; he’s out for the year. He’s kind of an interesting guy I’d like to follow, as apparently he’s rather glovely and was hitting pretty well before his injury. He’s also microscopic, at 5’9", 145.

My ex boyfriend from high school
got that same injury not riding his bike fast enough over a speed bump

is that code for something?
did you injure him?
by PagsBrewCrew on Aug 19, 2008 1:18 PM CDT up reply actions
Hah!
Nope. He’s just a dumbass…
Put it this way, he repeated his senior year and the only reason he graduated is that I did more than half of his homework
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
How dumb could he possibly be?
He got you to do over half of his homework for him.

Only because they were gonna hold him back ANOTHER year
And being a 20 year old in high school is probably an embarrassing thing

Stupid is as stupid does
Ned had CC bunt because he didn’t want him to run the bases.
Could have just had a pinch runner come in.
You have no concept

Three strikes is an out right?

I wish I could remember his whole answer to your boy's condition
He doesn’t want to mess around with it. That after taking him to California for a game rather than having him rest and rehab to get healthy for the stretch run.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh…
well...
he’d have to make it to first by running and, if it was a hit to the wall they’d still have him try for a 2 bagger…
…and if they substituted a pinch runner for him, why not use a pinch batter in the first time? I admire his hitting prowess, but we’ve got a couple of suitable batters on the bench.
I actually agree with the smallball call there (assuming you desired to leave him in the game).

Kevin Goldstein on Jeffress from a BP chat last week:
Olinkapo (Brevard County): What are your feelings on Jeremy Jeffress? Specifically: He’s not allowing many homers or hits at all, striking out a ton of guys, and generally getting groundballs. Do you look past the walks in light of all that, or is the wildness too discouraging? [Pitching wildness, I mean…not the puff puff pass stuff.]Kevin Goldstein: Obviously, the walks are a concern, but it’s not like he has a case of the yips or anything. In the low minors, on a statstical level, I focus primarily on ip, h, k; and I’m still very high on Jeffress because those numbers are good and he has monster stuff.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
More Brewers comments from the same chat
Langster (Dublin, Ireland): Kevin, why did Ryan Braun do a Ryan Braun, and Alex Gordon do an Alex Gordon? In light of their recent history, have you determined why their early performances have been so different?Kevin Goldstein: Because Braun was better. I know that sounds like a crap answer, but hear me out. I don’t see any huge differences in their numbers or scouting reports coming out of college (if anything, Gordon was a touch better), nor any discrepencies in one area or another that we can glean anything from. It’s just one of those things, and frankly, it happens all the time. If you figure out why one guy is a massive stud and one guys isn’t, and how that can accurately apply to consistently finding future massive studs, there are plenty of teams that would like to talk to you . . . about 30 of them, in fact.
HuntsvilleFan (‘bama): Mat Gamel’s recent slump – nothing to be concerned about or was his first half more of a fluke?Kevin Goldstein: I wouldn’t be too concerned, but at the same time, I do think Gamel was over his head in the first half, and I think he’s a very good, but not elite prospect.
TomG (Salem): What’s the deal with Lorenzo Cain? He seems to be hitting a lot better now that he’s out of Brevard County; is he a legit sleeper at this point or will his K rate doom him?Kevin Goldstein: The guy is a pretty crazy athlete, so that allows for a little more optimism. I’m certainly keeping an eye on him and he’s more than a ligit sleeper, he’s a prospect.
Ben Franklin (Philly): Tell me something I have not heard about A Escobar? Everyone says his glove is great, is it? How great? Or is it just good?Kevin Goldstein: It’s great. Makes the easy plays consistently, and makes the spectacular plays others can’t dream of making. One of the best defenders in the minors.
Steve (MN): I won’t defend Jeremy Brown, but I’ll defend Prince Fielder, CC Sabathia, et. alKevin Goldstein: You mean guys loaded with tools who every scout saw as a sure-fire first round pick? Look, people can keep pulling out the jeans quote, but athleticism matters.

Ok, so help me out:
What does very good but not elite mean? Bill Hall? Corey Hart? Dammit, I want guarantees!

Teddy Higuera's Top Comps
Pet Baseball-Reference:
1. C.C. Sabathia (963)
I'll warm up with you anytime
So...
How does Ben Sheets avoid his career-high-tying 12th win of the season tomorrow night?
A. Get shelled (ten runs in 3 innings or something similar)
B. Throw a good game, only to blow up in the seventh and surrender the lead.
C. Throw a great game, only to have the offense not score for him.
D. Bite his nails too short and hurt his fingers, forcing McClung into an emergency start.

Probably B
It wouldn’t surprise me if Ned leaves him in too long

I foresee an eighth-inning, three-run homer in his future
