I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you...

I just heard you say it the last three times.

I can usually tell when a pitcher needs to go out based on how they’re pitching. If I’m not watching it on TV, unless the gameday starts looking like a 4th of July firework, I don’t know if the guy needs to go out or not.

That means they aren't bad hitters.

But more likely to go after the first pitch than some other offenses, so they put the ball in play before the count gets deeper.

Folks who contrive disagreements just because they can ...

… I concern myself with that because I find that I have to debate something for no good reason. Eventually, I wonder about the nature of the beast. Why on EARTH does anybody decide to defend Carlos Fisher? And by doing so, pawning off the most useless reasons for it?
Here’s what I read:

he has decent stuff, just needs better command

command won’t improve sitting in the bullpen.

Fisher does NOT have decent stuff and everyone knows it. To support any premise that he does is complete bullshit.
He is in the bullpen because he can’t get anybody out, not because he had one game THREE WEEKS AGO in Philadelphia that tired him.

Fuck this sort of argument. This is what pisses me off. I don’t dislike the people, just the deliberate attempt to find opposing points of view just because they think they can make people look bad. This one doesn’t work.

Fisher's stuff isn't that bad

in 2009 he struck out 8.25/9IP, in 2010 he struck out 8.46/9IP. The problem is in those respective years he walked 5.33/9 and 5.24.

Striking out a batter per inning is a sign of “good stuff”. Futher in 2009 his average fastball was 93 and in 2010 it was 92.5, so he can hit 94 to 95. Is his stuff great? No, but it is plenty fine to get big leaguers out if he can find his command.

Up to and including the long game in Philly, Fisher had an ERA of .87, over 10.1 IP, with 8 Ks, and 4 BB, and 2 of those walks occurred in the final inning of the Philly game.

Since that game he has thrown 3.2 innings in 4 games, with an ERA of 13.24, 5 walks, and 0 strike outs. It appears that the long game had a negative effect on him.

I don't argue I correct.

Rolen should have plenty of power left to get doubles to the gap.

He’s also smart enough to know that he probably has only warning-track power left consistently. The way he’s been hitting is line drives to right center. This is a smart hitter.

The second goal was bad, too

Luongo had the save and bobbled it into the net. He was also out of position because he collided with one of his own players (I think it was a Sedin).

Is Luongo’s middle name LeBron, by any chance?

There was a nice piece

about Dusty and Darren at reds.com. I found this passage interesting:


An aspiring ballplayer himself, he roams among the much larger Reds players and is treated like one of the guys. On Monday in the visitor’s clubhouse at Dodger Stadium, Joey Votto playfully picked up Darren and body-slammed him to a sofa. Later, Darren played video games with Chris Heisey.

Body slamming and video games sounds like fun until somebody gets hurt. Votto could have landed on the DL ;) It actually sounds like Darren has a pretty good time with the Reds and that’s nice to hear.

I remember when Votto hit a huge go ahead home run earlier this season

The first person that Votto went to was Darren to give him a big bear hug.

I think it depends on the injury

a guy i slightly know had a terrible back injury, that crushed at least one of his vertebrate. He is paralyzed for the time being, but his spinal cord isn’t severed. So he is hopeful that medical science will allow him to walk in the future.
