Thursday, July 03, 2008Waiting for LirianoPosted by Bryan TsaoAs we continue our journey around the MLB divisions, I look up to find that the Twins are second place in the AL Central (behind the White Sox!) despite not getting anything from Francisco Liriano so far. Well, don't forget about him because he's apparently showing some signs of life at Triple-A. I wouldn't be surprised if he came up in August and made an impact on the pennant race, assuming the Twins are still in it. Braves throwing in the towelPosted by Bryan TsaoIt's definitely put up or shut up time around the divisions in baseball. Craig Calcaterra seems to think that the Braves are packing it in. “A magnet for suffering”Posted by Bryan TsaoIt's a tough time to be a Mets fan right now. I definitely thought they'd be one of the best teams in the NL this season, so watching them muddle through the early part of the season has been somewhat surprising. Still, they are only 4.5 games out of first, which means they are not quite out of it yet. Nonetheless, as an A's fan who just suffered through a series in which my team's bullpen coughed up two late-inning leads against our division rival, I can sympathize with Eric when he writes the following: What the hell was that crap about? I don't know why I bother sometimes, because staying up late to watch this team give it up like that as often as they do really takes a lot out of me. This loss was such a wretched, phenomenal failure, but none of us can say that we didn't expect the game to end poorly, at least a little bit. This team seems to be a magnet for suffering, and if there's a reasonable way to lose a game they can usually find it. Meet Jhoulys ChacinPosted by Bryan TsaoJohn Sickels gives us the rundown on the breakout Rockies pitching prospect. Break but not movement?Posted by Dave StudemanJon Hale has a very nice post on the difference between movement and break (at least, in PITCHf/x terms) and what it means for B.J. Ryan's fastball. Marlins on verge of a recordPosted by Dave StudemanThat record is most consecutive games played without a complete game pitched, mentioned halfway down this article. (Hat tip: Fishstripes). Would you be surprised to find out that the current record was set earlier this year? Mo likes to save gamesPosted by Dave StudemanAlex Belth, Peter Abraham and Rich Lederer join forces (sort of) for an observation about Mariano Rivera. Rich's question (and answer): how many pitchers have lost three or more games despite an ERA under 1.00? My question: is Mariano Rivera the greatest pitcher ever? How to confuse an idiotPosted by Dave StudemanDespite the headline, this post has nothing to do with baseball. I just want to confess that it took me a minute to get this. International signingsPosted by Dave StudemanFor those of you following the international signing season, Kiley McDaniel has the scoop. Twins updatePosted by Dave StudemanAaron Gleeman has a nice update on the Twins. He should try writing about baseball more often. Sickels on HochevarPosted by Dave StudemanJohn Sickels has a Luke Hochevar update. He feels that the former number one pick has made steady progress and could settle in as a number-three guy, with number-two potential. One of the commenters wonders where his old slider has gone. Buchholz coming back soonPosted by Dave StudemanAccording to Boston.com, Clay Buchholz may be returning to the Sox soon. According to the article, Buchholz is 4-1 with a 1.63 ERA in eight starts since the Sox sent him to Pawtucket to work on his fastball. In his last four starts, he is 4-0 with a 0.40 ERA, allowing just one earned run in 22 2/3 innings. Hat tip: Rob Neyer. |
