QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 06:19 PM) Cabrera, you're an ass for running through the 3B coach's stop sign when your team's up by 7 runs. Cabrera doesn't know what the word "stop" means. Just ask his wife.

Finally found a link, but it's not very good. Stop and Go all the way. http://vodkasports.com/Chicago+White+Sox+v...Tigers-3416.htm

QUOTE (OilCan @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 06:01 PM) I still say Dunn will hit his 40-50 HRs this summer at the Cell, plus get 200Ks. Love/hate relationship for sure. I think he will still hit around 35. I've come down on my prediction of 48.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:56 PM) Beckham's been very good this year defensively. UZR doesn't like his range, but likes his glove. Comes out to a -0.2, which is basically average. (0.0 is average).

Wow, they gave Morel a basehit. DJ really thinks it was an error, and w/ the game being in Detroit, I can't believe they ruled against Penny.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:48 PM) Who would have ever predicted coming into year that Quentin and Beckham would be only respectable defensive players? Our only players who have been above average according to UZR is Konerko (but UZR doesn't work well for firstbasemen) and Quentin. Everyone else is either below average (Pierre, Rios, Beckham, Alexei, Morel), or not qualified yet (Teahen, Vizquel, Lillibridge).

I'd like to see Frank Thomas come back and he a hitting coach for this team. Seeing Mark McGwire in the dugout for the Cards made me think of it.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:47 PM) Am I the only one here that still thinks we get a W today? Probably.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:44 PM) Someone good at stats.. when was the last time this team was no-hit? 1991 by Royals pitcher Brent Saberhagen?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:34 PM) And Beckham and Morel have to be closing in on them. Beckham did have the best at-bat of anyone so far today, but obviously he's struggling just like everyone else in the line-up. Hopefully we're not talking Gordo being in the bottom 5 of the MLB OPS numbers again at the end of June...if Rios and Dunn don't pull out of it soon, you just don't know where you'll get any offense besides Konerko, Quentin and Ramirez. Morel, yeah. Morel is 14th worst. AJ is the next worst, as the 35th worst player in baseball. Beckham is 42nd worst. But Morel is not a "qualified player" yet this year, so he doesn't show up on the list.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Who's 2-3-4 Worst: Crawford Loney Huff Dan Johnson Rios, Ibanez, Pierre So I guess Rios and Pierre are tied for 5th worst. Good lord.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:24 PM) f*** it, put Rios on the DL with vagina/toe pain. Bench Pierre, and play De Aza and Viciedo in CF/LF. No way they could be worse overall than Rios/Pierre have been. It will never happen, but Rios truly might be the worst overall player in the majors this year. According to WAR, Carl Crawford is the worst player in the MLB this year. Rios if the 5th worst, and Pierre is the 7th worst. Lol, that's sooooo bad. And then there is Quentin who has been the 7th BEST player in baseball this year.

And now Rios f***s up a ball in CF? LOL. This team's defense/offense/pitching is just terrible right now. I can't believe Quentin is our best fielder so far this year. Ahaha.

So Pierre f***ed up again I guess. Cool.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:08 PM) Perfect through 4. No. Carlos Quentin is the Perfect Game Buster. BETTER RECOGNIZE!

Carlos Quentin - THE PERFECT GAME BUSTER!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:02 PM) I was the guy who hated, hated, hated it every time Mackowiak played out in CF over Anderson (ask the folks with memories)... And frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing some extra playing time for Vizquel. I'm all for giving Vizquel ABs at 3B and 2B 3-4 games a week, but I think Morel needs to stay on this team.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) Or we'll be back to a Uribe-ish/Teahen/Vizquel 3B platoon all year. Cue the bring back Joe Crede threads. I'm not a big fan of giving up on a rookie who has proven himself in the minors after 1 month, especially when the minor league talent is thin.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) He's totally flat footed at contact. It's as weak as it gets. Well, he hit 16 HR in 2009, and 13 HR in 2010. I think it can get weaker than that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) 9 up, 9 down. Just realized what bugs me about Morel's swing. Every swing seems like it's an 0-2 swing trying to protect the plate. I hope he likes Charlotte in May. He is just about done w/ his adjustment period. His numbers in May will be considerably better than April.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) His average fastball seems down this year, but I haven't seen any stats to back that up. Just feels he not popping the mitt like he did when we first got him last year. The velocity on all his pitches are down this year. http://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?play...&position=P

Damnit, Reds/Cards, just like I thought. f***ing A.
