thanks a lot

Eh. The way Saul Good was completely stumping everyone, that question might have took two and a half days to answer.

DeezNutz 04-10-2013 03:21 PM

I don't even remember Felix Jose. Who the ****?

Tytanium 04-10-2013 03:24 PM

Another cool tidbit: Hal Mcrae started at DH from 1976-1985 for 1429 games. Mind boggling number of games at a non-fielding position...

Dye and Tartabull were both very good for their day. The Royals paid Sweeney and had to let Dye and Damon go, because they were too cheap to hold them together as a group. If the Royals were the Yankees, they'd have had a starting outfield of Damon, Dye and Beltran, with Sweeney as DH, all in their prime. But noooooooooo.....

I think Hal McRae, Edgar Martinez and Jim Thome are the best DH guys of all time. All three should be in the HOF.

Now, the playoffs are a "real" possibility, and you're advocating the team trade two of its key pieces in the pen, including the likely closer?

OK. DM might be dumb enough to fall for this shit, but a decent number of posters in this thread won't. We're not STL fans; you're not getting ****ing ovation when you exit.

Is Herrera really your likely closer?

You want it to happen. Hell, I want it to happen; Herrera is a blast to watch.

But does Yost? Don't you think it's pretty likely that Holland pitches just well enough to burn up every ounce of rope he has about 3 times this year, only to hang onto the 9th like grim death every time? Yesterday was a prime example; it proved more than any outing he's had to date just how ill-suited he is for the 9th, but I guarantee you that closing out that game bought Holland another blown opp. And if he saves 3 or 4 more, ugly or not, he'll get himself a whole week of rope.

You saw what Yost did last year with Broxton; he wasn't going to make Holland the closer, no how scary Brox made the 9th and no matter how much better Holland looked. Now you have the same situation but with a better pitcher on the hill in Holland. I just don't see Yost yanking him unless he craters for a 3-4 games in a row and Holland is a better pitcher than that.

Even if he can't spot his heat, that slider's nasty enough that he can go out there and throw 15 straight sliders and somehow get guys chasing over and over again. Brad Lidge made it for 2 more years than he should have after he lost his fastball command by doing the same thing.

I remember Matt Stairs actually hit a grand slam in the sixth inning once, and some lucky shlup won 25K.

There's no way any one person would remember the revolving right-field door for the last 22 years without looking it up.

DeezNutz 04-10-2013 03:29 PM

Herrera was getting hot last night. And I'm going to have to give Yost credit for going to him so early in the year in Philly. I know it seemed like a common-sense move (and it was), but these old-school dipshits like Yost have a hard time going against the conventional wisdom at times.

Stairs also injured himself playing hockey with the broadcast crew on a road trip.

Jon Nunnally
is the only one i couldn't get.

Demonpenz 04-10-2013 03:32 PM

Matt Stairs was so drunk and hungover after tequilla that he kept his head down on the ball. There you go professional hitter with his head down all the time. I heard stairs was pissed when tony pena jumped into the shower with is uniform after the game as well.
