Question
When a trade like this happens, and Oswalt and Ruiz meet in the afternoon and then play together at night, how do they work on their signals?

It frustrates me to no end how much this team first-pitch-swings, but Dobbs had a pitch to hit there. Don’t take a fastball down the middle.
I wouldn’t… Sometimes that is the most hittable thing you are going to get— I heard the saying that in each at bat there is really only at most one really hittable pitch, so you should swing at it when you get the chance.

However had Valdez been in the lineup Polanco wouldn’t have dodged the throw to 3rd and the lead runner is out and it’s still a 1 run game.
Hey Dez, it's 2am do you know where your mother is?

Disagree. Valdez is a better fielder and is hitting better than Dobbs right now.
by FearTheTurtIe on Jul 30, 2010 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions
Except Valdez has better numbers than Dobbs offensively in just about every category and he is a better defensively than Dobbs is. Put Valdez at 2nd and Polly back at 3rd. Your defense and offense just improved.

wOBA
Dobbs: .272 (2010)/.313 (career)
Exxon: .262/.260
I’ll give you Exxon’s defense, but as shitty as Dobbs is at the plate, Valdez is shittier.
Is there a precedent for new pitchers having a shaky night when working with a new catcher that they’ve only just met? It seems like there should be but I’m sure somebody smarter knows.
I don’t know that there is, but I have noticed that there seems to be a learning curve for players who are transitioning— Cliff Lee pitched poorly in his first game for Texas (just over 24 hours after he was traded). However, Happ bucked this trend— he pitched 6 innings, allowing no runs on 2 hits, walking 4, and striking out 6.
by dannijd on Jul 30, 2010 10:12 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Cue the “Oswalt sucks, why didn’t we keep Happ” calls into WIP tonight. Jeebus, can’t the guy get used to his new team and catcher before everyone starts in on him? The Nats are hot, too, BTW.

I am not going to say it yet. However, I did not want this trade, and I do wish Happ were still here. However, Oswalt could have pitched a complete game shut out, and I probably would have felt that way, so I am not being a reactionist.

It’s probably completely irrational, but I loathe Nyjer Morgan with every ounce of my being. He’s like the new, not-quite-as-good Juan Pierre.
Also, can we please turn in some good at bats against Craig Stammen? He’s Craig Stammen for Chrisakes.
by PhillyFriar on Jul 30, 2010 7:48 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I live in Pittsburgh.
He’s like the shitty Cliff Lee of Pittsburgh. Pirates fans bitch and moan about how the Pirates should never have traded him. I’m pretty sure people here think he’s Rickey Henderson.
I LOL’d at the “shitty Cliff Lee of Pittsburgh” line.
That was a smart trade for the Pirates. Morgan’s a nice enough player, but they’re not going to be good anytime soon, and it was totally worth the gamble on Milledge’s upside. Plus, the Nata should never have cut bait on Hanrahan — he’s legit, and is a better reliever than anyone on the Nats now (and possibly anyone on the Phillies now, maybe Madson excluded).

Is it just me or is there a lot of crowd noise and louder “batting sounds”? I feel like the mics are really sensitive there.
The crowd sounds are confusing me. I’m listening to the radio, and there’s cheering with every play. Don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing until the announcers tell me.

It is not a surprise at all that Oswalt is getting smacked around…listening to the radio in Philly on my drive from Harrisburg to South Jersey, I kept hearing everyone declaring that the Phillies were heading back to the World Series…they were going to stomp Washington this weekend and be in first place by Monday…and the whole time I keep thinking that pride is such a painful thing to have if it doesn’t work out.

Cliff’s debut with the Rangers wasn’t so great either. Still, I was hoping for better from Oswalt. But my real question is why the Phillies have so much trouble with mediocre pitchers like Stammen.

and psychological. The muscular dude convinces any guy watching that he must smell good to be attractive, and thus competitive against said dude. AND at the same time, he convinces the guy’s significant other of the same. It’s genius.

I love the commercials but sales have actually been down since the ad campaign began. Personally, I think it targets the wrong demographic…

It targets women, right? I was thinking that it would be more effective, because it’s like the dude is trying to take your girlfriend, so you have to buy Old Spice to win her back. I obviously don’t understand male psyche as well as I thought I did.

Or, women are supposed to buy it for their guys, who aren’t supposed to care. I doubt that my husband would make me take it back.

And the irony of this is, if by chance we do post up 6 or more in this frame, then Oswalt is still in line for the W.

On Gameday, it looks like a strike. But it’s close. And Gameday isn’t always right.

This Clippard kid is pretty good. Hey, do the Nationals have someone to replace Capps?

At store here in Florida and debt reader down wont work. Had only 14 bucks beer and cigs cost 16 dudes from norristown where i was born gave me the extra cash with go Phillies for my Phillies attire.
I wasn't even a year old but I stayed up to be outside the Vet with my Dad and Mom when the Phillies won the World Series 1980.
on the radio, they were saying that it’s good Polly made that catch because Dom would’ve missed it.

I wonder if Wheels actually knows if Polly likes popups, or if he is just assuming he does because he is very good at fielding them.

This is true. WATCH OUT.
Speaking of weird things in contracts, the same Astros once offered Brad Lidge a bonus if he won the Silver Slugger award.

Aren’t the Brewers notoriously awful against LHP this year, though? I thought I read that somewhere.

very likely.
Still, seeing Happ in an Astros hat is kinda depressing.

Imagine how he feels. I still like him, though, and wish him well.

I like him too. I hope Myers doesn’t give him too much of a hard time.

Myers is a meathead who likely gives EVERYbody a hard time.

He seems like one. I recently watched that video where he orchestrated that “trade” to Japan for KK. I felt sorry for Kyle, and I can just see him doing the same kinda stuff to Happ.

Huh. Maybe it’s the uniform that makes him look super-tall.
Although 6’ 5" is super-tall compared to me…

6-5 is quite tall for anyone, I think.
