I really like
the moves at the top of the lineup by Maddon. It makes me feel better that it is L-R-L-R-L-R, rather than three out of the first four being left. Also, even though BJ has struggled with the bat over the last month his OBP is still great and with the dip in power makes more sense for him to be higher.

Also
Got that info from the heater and they had another post about Price pitching last night
allowing seven hits (including a homer) and three runs (two earned) over six innings. He also walked two and struck out six and didn’t get a decision as the Biscuits lost in the 10th inning.
and a comment that espn.com had reported the Bucs lowered the price for Nady.

why arent the rays interested in George Sherill, he has veteran experience and could really help our bullpen in late inning games…the O’s are looking for a shortstop and Reid Brignac would be a great give up for a quality bullpen player now

by Sky Kalkman on Jul 24, 2008 6:33 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Sherril's got a career K/BB just over two and is an extreme flyball pitcher
he’s gotten away with not giving up a lot of homers in the past because he’s faced more than his fare share of lefties. he’s been exposed this year as a full-inning guy.

Wheeler isnt the problem in our bullpen, and if we could get another guy who produces like he has we should consider ourselves lucky
by GomesSweetGomes on Jul 24, 2008 6:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
our problem is not having a bullpen ace.
the fact that we don’t have a good #4 or #5 reliever is much less pressing.
by Sky Kalkman on Jul 24, 2008 6:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
2 things
1. Yes, the need for bullpen depth is pressing. Case in point the other night while down 3-1 to Oakland, Maddon had to choose between using Howell on back-to-back nights, or ceding the loss….He chose the latter.
2. Wheeler has been very effective this year. If you’re projecting Street into the future, of course he will be better. But Wheeler has done just as well this year, and doesn’t play in a park with 9.5 miles of foul ground (Oakland has been a pitchers park for years)

Calling Wheeler #4 OR #5

by GomesSweetGomes on Jul 24, 2008 6:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i wasn't calling wheeler a 4 or 5, nor infering he was the problem (although he is a bit overrated right now)
he’s probably a 3 league-wide and currently #3 on the Rays
1/2 Howell/Balfour (still don’t know if Balfour’s for real real or just for real)
3 Wheeler
4 Percival
by Sky Kalkman on Jul 24, 2008 6:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
can you elaborate on the situation in #1? thanks.
and to get snarky about #2, I thought the editors of this site outlawed using reliever ERA or quoting half-year stats…
by Sky Kalkman on Jul 24, 2008 6:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I didn't use ERA
His WHIP is lower as well. And if you can look past a miserable ‘07 you will see Wheeler has been a highly effective reliever for years…most of it done in the Houston bandbox.
Howell was warming in the pen the inning before Miller came into the game. Not coincidentally, the Rays had runners on base. As soon as the potential to tie or bring the game within a run ended, he sat Howell and proceeded to warm up Miller. The rest is history, as he had Miller try and work in a non-loogy situation and fail miserably.
by GomesSweetGomes on Jul 24, 2008 7:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
totaly agree
with the depth of the pen…when I was watching the game I thought the same thing.
by JRays on Jul 24, 2008 7:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
"I didn't use ERA. His WHIP is lower as well." -- no thanks
in 2005/2006, Wheeler’s K/BB was about 9/3; this year (i know) it’s 6/3. he’s also giving up more flyballs which will lead to more homeruns. his BABIP this year is .180—thanks defense. his FIP and xFIP are both around 4.50. Street’s 2008 K/BB is 9/2.5 and he’s been a bit unlucky in the HR/FB department. His xFIP and FIP are about 3.50.
in that situation, you’re saying the Rays were down two or three with a couple innings left? the difference between a crappy pitcher and a really good one in that situation is not as large as the difference between a good reliever and a great one in a really important situation (couple of runners on with a one-run lead in the ninth, for example.)
by Sky Kalkman on Jul 24, 2008 7:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They were down 2
with 9 outs left.
And for the record, Percy/Howell/Wheeler/Balfour have blown a combined 3 saves between them this year (Zero for Wheeler), so it seems the Rays have more of a problem letting the game getting out of hand, than they do protecting small leads.

Ma-Ti is the most compassionate and sensitive of the Planeteers, yet also very insecure and sometimes prone to childish or impulsive actions, like when he allowed his rage to consume him when his village was almost wiped away.

I think I remember hearing that they didn't want to trade him
because they don’t really have anyone available to fill his role.

Honest opinions....you think we are going to make any trades
We have a week left and I really don’t feel like they are going to make a move. You have Price who could come up later on and pitch so they dont HAVE to do something in the pen or even the back of the rotation and it seems like the price for a bat is to high.

I think we make minor trades on 7/31

I’d rather the Rays keep the big gun prospects intact. If that means no moves, so be it. But if they don’t make a move, oh man, there will be some angry folks doing a lot of second guessing and armchair GM’ing.

Gross is more of a defensive specialist so you aren’t really replacing his role and I am no fan of Gomes but he didn’t have a bad series vs the A’s.

Yes, but the good Oakland series
didn’t make a dent in his bad year
by Albertrayon on Jul 24, 2008 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
and the bad year is still only a 97 OPS+
and the 155 PAs of a bad year shouldn’t put a ginormous dent in Gomes’ track record (which isn’t studly, I realize)

They don't even finish games before they release them
The show has so many funky bugs in it. Even a HUGE bug from last years version they don’t even bother to fix.

The Show is one of the very few reasons to buy a PS3
2k8 is a below-average gameplay experience. This is one time where I wish EA was making the game.

But again, its your only option for college football.
Also, I find dynasty mode, or any mode that matches me up against the computer, to be pretty boring. I either dominate 72-0 or it forces me to fumble every time i get the lead. If you plan on playing it with others (and its a Wii…HELLO!!!!) then its a good game.
