Untrue
Measuring a pitcher based on how many letters are in his middle name is worse than both W/L and ERA.

I agree, but still.
He sucked big time this time last year.  I took my son to his first game at Safeco last year, with Felix on the mound, and he was completely bombed.  He wasn't pitching much differently than Weaver.  Well, he was missing a few more bats, sure, but the hitters were really making hard contact and blasting his pitches deep.

After the game in Chicago last May
I talked to the team's physiologist and he basically told me that all our fears about Felix approach were true. Hargrove was going against Chaves and telling Felix to establish his fastball first and that as the season went on he would be able to throw his other stuff more often.

He also said that Felix would get lackadaisical at times and would go ADD on the mound when things got too easy.

He cant hit in the day time this year.

Day games, 32 AB, 094 .147 .281 .428
Night games, 39 AB, 359 .405 .513 .918

His strikeout are 7 and 5 for day and night, respectively, so maybe it just a fluke.

Richie Sexson
Due to Sexson's slow, lumbering swing and gargantuan contract (2007 salary: $14,000,000 & 2008 salary: $14,000,000), Bill Bavasi should just save face by offering him and the utterly worthless Julio Mateo -- who'd easily be replaced by ground ball machine Sean Green -- to the New York Yankees for Josh Phelps (.269/.367/.423)--especially since Phelps would be a cost-effective (2007 salary: $600,000) platoon partner for Ben Broussard at first base.

Besides, the George Steinbreneer is probably the only guy who'd pay the remainder of Sexson's salary; plus, Brian Cashman -- and, for that matter, Joe Torre -- should be desperate enough to deem Mateo an upgrade in the team's bullpen.

It's nothing more than a pipe dream, though.

The WE chart is going to be very interesting
go check it out.  I'm not even sure quite what to say about it but it's interesting.

WE chart
Looks like Weaver's blood alcohol level on a typical pre game night bender.

Assuming that it has Yankees WE on the Y axis instead of Mariner WE of course.

Not a save situation
Up by 4, he'd have to go 3 innings to earn the save.

This is what I'm going off of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_(baseball)

So I don't think it would have been a save for Morrow...but it is for Putz, because the tying run was on deck.

WE at 99%
And yet I'm still on the edge of my seat.

Actually, I'm really flopped on the couch.  It's more of a metaphor.

Morrow down to 91
I watched Mark Lowe and you sir, are no Mark Lowe.

Watch Hargrove botch this
and put Broussard at 3rd and Willie at DH

by Corco on May 4, 2007 7:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

Also
why Vidro and Beltre?

Let's give SEXSON a day off. Hey!

by Corco on May 4, 2007 7:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

Beltre had a small limp
So they're going to give him rest.

Vidro because he ate Hargrove's last danish.
