maybe "break out" isn't the right phrasing
I think what you meant to say is, “why does our offense suck?”

Rollins made that play. I imagine nine times out of ten, Nix makes it to first.

Now RamRam needs to hold them
And then hopefully we can keep it going and get a run or two in this next inning

I'm so glad RamRam stayed in to bunt
and face two more batters. Yeah, I know they still scored some runs, but…
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Squibber went right past him, he ran after it and lunged it towards third.
He had no chance of getting him. The other runner continued to second—they would have had him there.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
On second thought
I’m okay the way Dust-bags managed this… if the Reds hadn’t scored 5, RamRam would’ve stayed in to pitch a little longer. Since they scored 5, Dusty wanted to get his best relievers into the ballgame. With Utley and Howard coming up, DRH is the best middle-innings match-up for them.
"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other." - Jack Handey

and Stairs following. How on earth would Dusty do this lineup with so many good lefty hitters!!!

go look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls
by Charlie Scrabbles on May 21, 2009 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions
he's signed thru 2012
with a 2013 option
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
I'm well aware, but, if he's traded he can opt out
further, I didn’t say next season was a walk year. He is under paid relative to other studs and, if he opts out, he will get the 17-20 million package. In that case, THIS might be his walk year
I changed my mind
Elias ranked CC as the best NL pitcher last season with 98 points and Peavy as the 7th with 90 points. Unless those are exponential points, I’d say they’re similar
I don't think you'll find many people who consider them similar
Also one is large with good mechanics, the other not and not. And despite you disagreeing, the bidders won’t include the Yankees.
I've never seen an opt out clause in the description of his contract
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
Would you accept a prepositional phrase with a gerund?

by Man Mountain on May 21, 2009 3:00 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
It's only partially true
Players traded in the middle of a multiyear deal have the right to demand a trade at the end of the season, not the right to opt out of the rest of the contract. If a player exercises this right, the team has until March 15 to trade him, or he becomes a free agent.
So it is a quasi-opt out clause.

actually
I’m not sure that’s true anymore. The more I’m researching, it appears that has been removed from the labor agreement – according to Richard Justice at least (in the comment posted at 6:39 PM on 12/12).
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
And according to the press release
It has been removed. He can neither demand a trade or opt out.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
the relevant text is under the heading, "Free Agency"

then why announce he wants to remain
in the NL and why did Marty and tHom interpret that as meaning he wanted his deal extended?
Is it possible they do not know?
it's possible
but it doesn’t matter. The labor agreement is what it is, whether the announcers know it or not.

Peavy's extension was signed 12/12/07
His current contract thru 2009 would apply to the old deal, but his 2010 contract does not.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
yeah i remember this being discussed when Arroyo was traded here
he had the option to demand a trade, so we gave him the extension. win-win.

there's a big difference between demanding a trade

I blame this loss on the botched DL handling of Masset

I blame this loss on the lack of a well rounded roster.
It would take an incredible lucky and creative manager to be competitive with;
Rosy (love him but…)
McFluffy
Alex gonzales – put a fork in him
Jannish – love him but he’s at best a back up
Depending on Cherry to play every day
And that’s only 20% of the roster…
For me there’s also questions about;
EdE, Herrara (love him but he’s so tiny), CoCo, …now we are appraoching 30% of the roster…
That’s too high to get you anywhere near the playoffs…maybe about .450 over the course of the season.
And this doesn’t take in consideration that Dusty isn’t very strategically stong or creative.
Right now we are looking at a # 4 or #5 place team in a pretty strong division.

make me a duel manager and GM
and we totally got this. Look at my solution for the rotation, lot more creative and effective than Dusty/Walt.
I totally got this. Plus I would totally hire Madville to be the bench coach, and Slyde to do data analysis.

OK but Slyde doesn't actual;ly have to come to the games does he
I could also go for getting to hitting instructor.
these guys seem to be lazy and ubdisciplined. They need to learn how to relicate their successes, see figure out and see the rotation of the ball, to be patienet, to know every oitcher well, and to hit the ball where it is pitched.
Justin and mads…, with Slyde’s help and hey you got to find a spot for Ash…she don’t take no shit from no one…I’m warming up to this,,,

If you think I'm qualified to do Data Analysis
then i don’t want to work for your organization.

i'd pretty much do whatever your date tells me to do
you would be the puppet master…

can I watch...
Oh and regarding the data analysis..you make the coolest grphs and stuff so no one would ever question whether or no there was any statistical validity to your work. Plus we’d blame Justy, I mean Dusty – er Justin

getting to be the hitting instructor that should read
"Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching."
