I’d just like it if he stayed around his season average for the in play balls as opposed to what went on in 2 of the past 3 games

I wanted to use “Lee Takes Washington” as my recap title when they won the game he started there last week, but I felt like his performance didn’t quite justify it.

Sandoval
The MLB network had the Giants-Rockies game on tonight. Don’t know who the announcers were but they were sharp. The camera panned the dugout and lingered on Sandoval picking his nose. One of the announcers remarked, “It looks like Pablo Sandoval’s hoping he picked the right team to be on tonight.”

I know that, but at this point in the game, it makes the most sense to bunt him over so Rollins could hit him in, but it doesn’t matter because Rollins does it anyways.

when he’s bad, you can just pencil in 5-3 on the scorecard (or 5-4-3 if < 2 outs and a guy at first).
But when he’s on, it’s fun to watch.

If he works on his hitting....
… he could be a .280 guy. Combine that with his defense and his ability to call games, and you’ve got yourself a helluva catcher. He already excels at catchmanship.

I think the Phillies generally have it right when it comes to catcher. Like the Eagles with linebackers, catchers are probably overvalued because they typically only burn brightly for a few years. So, you concentrate on the defensive skills and run prevention, rather than flashy offensive stats.

so if you wouldn’t take Chooch with a batting average 20 pts higher than where he is….who would you take in his place that is a reasonable replacement?
You’re not getting: McCann, Mauer, V-Mart, Posada, so hang that up.
by Bilzo on Sep 15, 2009 9:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
ok…assuming he held his slugging and walks consistent, if Chooch could raise his BA .025 pts, (which would raise his ops about 0.025), he’d have an OPS of ~.805 which would be third in the league amongst regularly playing catchers Montero and McCann (I think that’s top 3….)

Now Hans and Franz have discussed the ‘Philly fans are all assholes’ meme. Some people just can’t help themselves.

well…if none of the three umps saw it…you can’t really argue with ’em, but the replay was pretty obvious.

Not sure if they should trot Lee out there for the 9th.

Crap, I didn’t like the way Lee fell off there on the timeout.

The Gen. Lee is one of my favorite collector’s items. I have like 15 different sizes of models of the car. The unfortunate part is that there is no Catherine Bach to go with them.

true, true. On a related note, “Boss Hogg” would be a fantastic baseball nickname.

interesting end to the 2010 season, our last 24 games are all against our division.

Bako was catching his games before?

Michael Taylor
I was really impressed with Michael Taylor when he was being interviewed by Wheels and T-Mac. He’s incredibly articulate and mature.

Is it too early...
… to start magic number-speak?
They’re already doing it on Yahoo, but I personally don’t start taking it seriously until it’s under 10.
That said, we’ll be under 10 if we sweep the Nats and the Marlins lose one more game.
Sorry I was not here to defend my earlier flurry-starting comment on Chooch. I’m in work training this week and my free time is little.
But yeah, if Chooch was a consistent .280 hitter – meaning he averaged out to one-plus hits per night – I’d take that in a heartbeat. I was a big Lieberthal fan fer cryin’ out loud.

don’t have any, but have enjoyed success on StubHub. Try to exploit some of the price elasticities—meaning pass up the row 1 seats. If you just want to get in, find the cheapest ones, go early, and stake out SRO in the infield with the barstyle ledges to put your stuff.
by Wet Luzinski on Sep 15, 2009 10:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
stub hub prices
started at least 2 times face value and went up exponentially from there
2 times face was for $22 in upper level
had some $125 for first row HR territory in outfield and prices just went up the closer you get to the infield
Thanks though
