Quickie Hupgood:

here

Basically, his command is immaculate and he mixes in his change in early fastball counts in order to get to better counts. If you pick either out and it doesn’t go foul, you hammer the shit out of it. If not, he’s got an average slider that plays up because of his immaculate command. He’s tough, but he can certainly be made to have miserable outings by patience and good fastball hitting. That ISO score for his fastball is as big as I’ve seen to same-side hitters.

when you’re doing your reverse magic shit tonight, how about working it in so the pitching only gives up a couple of runs. none of this sox lose 8-4 bull.

just got back from St Louis, had 5hours to think about Jr.

I read Colin’s thread, won’t try to wade through the others. My take is that KW basically did a PR move more than actually help the team.
I don’t WANT to see JR in CF or the corners. If he can’t outright replace Paulie at first, I’m just not seeing the point.
Only reason I mention this is so not be called a second-guesser later. I’ll be happy to eat crow if he contributes into October.

You don't like the 1B platoon concept?

Konerko has historically murdered lefties (though admittedly he has sucked against them this year—sample size hopefully) and Griffey remains good against righties. Seems kinda good to me, actually. Assuming they actually employ it, of course.

by The Actual El Guapo on Jul 31, 2008 6:36 PM CDT up reply actions  

and assuming griffey is closer to konerko at first than timoniel.

Takes another old fuck to be curmudgeony

I was (slightly) joking about the PR thing – though maybe part of it is only a Future HOF’er could possibly replace The Captain – but still have a tough time thinking he’s not going to get hurt in CF. I might understand spelling Thomer at DH and hitting against righties while playing 1B. Don’t we have enough guys who are hitting .245, 14 HR, 45 RBI’s with no speed and little D?

If his head is on straight he’s an upgrade over PK. I’d still rather have BA in CF and Swish at 1B, unless Swish is not going to come out of his unlucky hitting.

about PR

i trust that KW knows that winning (the division, playoffs) ultimately is going to fill the seats and bring more respect to the sox organization that having hof-bound players on the decline on the roster, but sure having griffey will probably sell few more seats in the short term.

I like what Poz said about the Royals' crew:

But only that night. Look, after a while … hey, enough already. When you constantly complain about umpires, you begin to sound petty and delusional. What happens is you first complain about a bad call, but then you start to see ghosts and shadows and Jorge Orta’s around every corner, and you start whining about VERY close calls, ones that could go either way, ones the umpire might have gotten right, and then you cross over and complain about correct calls. And that’s when you start to sound like a big ol’ loser. That’s why it drives me nuts. I say this for a reason: I’ve noticed lately that my very good buddy Ryan Lefebvre, who I believe is an excellent announcer and a wonderful guy, has been moaning way too much about umpiring lately; he’s definitely creeping into that dangerous territory where you start ripping umpires for making good calls. Wednesday’s game ended when Mike Aviles was called out on a check swing, and Ryan who had been ripping the umpires for four or five innings gave a big old, frustrated "Well, why not?" The replay showed that Aviles had DEFINITELY swung, it wasn’t close, and it was correctly called out, but it was too late to say, "OK, hey, I apologize, I went overboard, the umpire was right." Anyway, the next time I see him I will advise him as a friend to just stop the whole umpire thing. It sounds amateurish to me.

I actually played a SB game with a guy that was on the Israeli National team

I started for Division III in college, and he was about as good as me, maybe a bit worse, so Israeli must really suck at baseball.
