QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 05:34 PM) Wade Davis ain't going anywhere. I'd decapitate for him. He's going to be sick (he's already good). I guess good is a subjective term, as he has the fifth worst xFIP in the AL this season. I'm not saying Wade Davis isn't going to be good, but when he can be immediately replaced by the best (or at least most ready) pitching prospect in baseball trading him for a guy like Dunn who fills a need for you doesn't seem like the dumbest thing a team could do.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 04:35 PM) I don't see how the cell is that different from wrigley in terms of HR given up or any park in the NL Central for that matter. You adapt to your home park. I think Lilly will be fine. It's not some myth that it's easy to hit HRs at US Cellular. I don't understand how this is a difficult concept to grasp.

Ozzie managed the game to get that one run across. I'm glad he trusts his bullpen enough where he believes that's all he needs, but I would have let your hottest hitter swing away is all. I was certainly less upset about Alexei bunting Pierre over to third than I would have been at bunting him to second.

It's not like we haven't seen it before with Ozzie bunting Pierre to second. Just because something works doesn't mean it was the right move.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 03:22 PM) 7th inning, Pierre is on 2nd, no outs, tie game. How can you seriously complain about that? Ozzie was going to bunt Pierre to second.

At least with Alexei batting 7th Ozzie won't have him bunting the AB after he hit a HR.

Man, Carlos Lee really kills the Cubs.

That's already one more run than I was expecting tonight.

Okay, best of both worlds now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) Sounds like T. Skaggs will be the PTBNL Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. I should have said in the game thread that Conger just made the most sense to me because he's on the DL. It was purely speculation on my part.

It seems that Hank Conger is likely to be the PTBNL, he's on the DL right now.

Daniel Haigwood (sp?)

It's good for us because the Angels still probably won't make the playoffs and if the Yankees got Haren we'd have no chance to beat them even in a short series.

The player to be named could be Mike Trout. Not likely by any means, but it is possible.

8 pitch inning Where was that all afternoon?

Hudson really needs to never throw his curve.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) Wasn't most of that early in the year though, when he was already struggling? Hudson right now is reminding me of almost every rookie we see come up...he's trying to make the perfect pitch every time. In his last 10 starts in AAA he went 5, 8, 5, 5, 7, 6, 5, 6, 6, and 5 innings. Not exactly Roy Halladay.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 03:26 PM) He throws a lot like Peavy. I think his motion is closer to Jered Weaver.

Cust has a really sweet stroke for a guy who only tries to hit HRs.
