In theory his #s won't transfer over
But Montgomery is a pitcher’s park, so that’s a bit encouraging. Although he’s becoming a three true outcomes player.

He's not hitting as many line drives

Well, it looks like he's doing a bit better on the first part
But people are overrating how good he was during his few years here. He had a great second half of 2006, but his career totals are pretty average—except against lefties.

Strangely, I'd think that's who'd I expect to see.
If Howell didn’t pitch (ineffectively) yesterday, he might have gotten the call, but I think Maddon will gamble with Howell.
I was hoping BERA would have him lower than 4.55, but instead he's 5.16. Shit.

Via BP
- The Rays keep coming up just short on trade talks. One team they were in discussions with are complaining about their deliberate pace and their insistence on taking several names completely out of the discussion. One FOT is hearing his boss saying that "they come in thinking they’ve cracked the code, that this offer is the one that’s perfect. Maybe it is, for them." The Rays seem perfectly willing to go with what they have, especially given the progress of Rocco Baldelli. The team seems more focused on the pen and even there has options like bringing up David Price in September.

Emerson Drive is a Canadian country music band which started out in Grande Prairie, Alberta in 1995 as 12 Gauge. The band is composed of Brad Mates (lead vocals), David Pichette (fiddle), Danick Dupelle (lead guitar), Mike Melancon (drums), and Dale Wallace (keyboards). Former bass guitarist Patrick Bourque committed suicide in late 2007, and has not been replaced with an official bass guitarist.

HAY GUYZ WHAT'S GOIN ON IN THIS THREAD?
Two questions:
1.) This game seems like it’s been going on forever. Is it just an illusion perpetrated by the fact that I just saw my girlfriend for the first time in two weeks and it was MARVELOUS (and thus felt like a long time), or was there a rain delay or something?
2.) How did Trey Hillman get ejected?
I root for the two worst teams in baseball, non-ironically.
1) hour rain delay
2) I don’t recall now.

By the way, the optimal outcome for the AL East: 1.) Rays; 2.) Yanks; 3.) Sox
Think about it. As much as you might want to see the Yanks not make the postseason, they’re nowhere near as annoying and loathsome as the Sox and their fans. Furthermore, they’re easier meat than the Sox would be.
I actually sort of admire the job Joe Girardi is doing with the Yanks this season, and am rooting for Mussina too. Given how much and how long I’ve hated the Yankees, it galls me to have to admit this.

Waitasec, Carl Crawford hit TWO triples today?

That second triple - 2 out, 2RBI to go ahead - was massive. Wonder what the WE+ on that one is.

I know he's sorta sucked this season, but damn. Nice. The triple is the most exciting offensive play in baseball

This probably means Percival will give up 2 runs in the 9th b/c we always cash in on our insurance policy
9 = 8
Remember, Percy is a results-oriented closer.
Sort of like Todd Jones, except not an on-the-record homophobe redneck.

There's nothing at all wrong with being a redneck, BTW.

It makes perfect sense.
A good pitcher, who can come in with no one on gets 3 outs and doesn’t allow a run to score most of the time. Our best relievers are free to pitch in high leverage situations.

Carlos Pena won't hit 46 home runs this season, but he will hit 30 or so
And that’s fucking valuable.

He doesn't have to.
Maddon just needs to tell him the closer thing is past him. Let him pitch, but not in game saving situations. Come on, he’s better than Miller.
Does it drive anyone else insane....
That when percy sucks McGraine talks about how pissed he gets and red lines his pitches, which also suck?
