Well I was gonna ask

Any word on when Lobstein is going to debut?

And I am sure its for Princeton right?

by joeybw on Aug 19, 2008 7:46 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No word

But I doubt he gets much action this season either way.

Scratch that

He reported to Princeton, but won’t pitch this season.

well that sucks

I doubt he will make his first ever start for Colombus so he wont even get full season ball next year.

by joeybw on Aug 19, 2008 7:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

That would have been unlikely anyway

Even when the pitcher is a stud, the AFRO has kept HS pitchers in short season for at least a full year. Don’t expect to see him make a full-season debut until 2010.

Even the old org did this though

Davis, McGee, Hellickson, Waechter, etc. The only HS pitcher I can think of who skipped short season was Houser.

Not the Mets

There are a few others as well. Some teams just universally skip their better prospects over short season, especially the ones who value prospects as trade bait more than as future pieces of the team, since a prospect’s trade value is increased if they have better ARL.

I don't think he did.

Jackson is a coin-flip when he goes out.

Still doesn’t make sense though. Neither he nor the Royals are any good.

With a name like Kip maybe they needed someone for Jose Guillen to punch in the face

There are guys they want to keep in the minors

so he’s a stopgap so they don’t rush any more prospects.

by Brickhaus on Aug 19, 2008 8:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Makes sense

And not much point in potentially starting any arbitration clocks early, either. Not in a lost season anyway. He’s a serviceable arm out of the pen I suppose.
He started for the Rockies on Opening Day somehow…

Shields isn't pitching that good at all.

The only reason why he hasn’t been shelled is because of some excellent defense. I don’t want to see him come out in the 6th. He’ll have to face Vlad again.

by kericr on Aug 19, 2008 8:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He has to face Vlad.

You mean he's not fat?

CC’s throwing a shit-ton of pitches. I don’t know what his career averages are but the Ms obviously have no intention of resigning him because they are wearing him out.

by MikeB. on Aug 19, 2008 8:46 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Never

They never get anything but a letter on file. Both the home plate ump and 1st base shithead should be held accountable. Home plate should be able to overrule that since he has the same point of view.

by Jason Collette on Aug 19, 2008 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Exactly

Absolutely no reason for that call. I thought the player had to cross back over the foul line to be tagged out for intent to run to second. Secondly Bossman turned back towards the plate. That ump needs to get off his knees and wipe his chin after he is done blowing this game.
