FIRST LOL
biggest series in history?
ESPN says yes! and they know everything!
Since we took two out of three
in the last biggest series in team history, I feel pretty good about today.
On Topic: Ben Yost got shitcanned today.
I hope the next time he sends Longo to bunt when he’s leading off an inning that this resonates in the back of his head.

Take a look at our depth chart at WR
1. Deion Branch (out till next week at earliest)
2. Bobby Engram (out till next week at earliest)
3. Nate Burleson (out for season after first game ACL injury)
4. Logan Payne (out for season after knee injury yesterday)
5. Seneca Wallace (out for 4-6 weeks after calf strain before yesterday’s game, is also our backup QB)
6. Jordan Kent (cut, signed to practice squad)
7. Courtney Taylor (drafted 4th round or something last year, has potential but isn’t there yet)
8. Michael Bumpus (now starting, undrafted free agent from Washington State that was on practice squad to start season)
9. Billy McMullen (hasn’t played in the NFL in like 3 years, signed last week and is now starting for us, fumbled the ball when we would’ve gotten at least 3 points and we would’ve won, avoiding OT)
Our defense got 8 sacks, a defensive TD, and had three or four more pressures that just had the QB scrambling. Julius Jones ran for 127 yards. And yet somehow our WRs and “Free Safety” Brian Russell lost it for us. (Also, one of Hasselbeck’s picks was dropped by our receiver then SF caught it)
It’s been a dark since the Hawks lost in February to Green Bay for me.

You know they have to have some kind of study that tells them where their attendance is coming from and where it's not.

Probalby not. TJ is likely next year though. That's just a guess and opinion. I have no grounds for this.
Tools Whore
Sign Bonds!
That's reaching pretty far.
Then again, BJ’s shoulder was perfectly fine and his power numbers were just a down year for him.
This is possible.
It’s also possible that he’s afraid of hurting his elbow so he doesn’t throw his slider and doesn’t put as much movement on his fastball. I also wonder if his FB velocity is down this year.
His fastball still moves plenty. It's why he's been so freaking good without his slider. When he's on, his fastball is almost unhittable. It moves all over the place. Pitch f/x had some of his fastballs moving 6 inches, which is essentially a cutter.
That’s insane movement.
Tools Whore
Sign Bonds!
I should have read what I typed
What I meant to say was “It’s also possible that he’s afraid of hurting his elbow so he doesn’t throw his slider and when he does he has a hard time targeting it. I also wonder if his FB velocity is down this year.”
Kazmir's season has been odd.
Bendix pointed out to me when I mentioned I hoped we got the good Kazmir. His numbers aren’t bad, but in some ways he’s like Carl. We’ve known for a few years that he needed to use his other pitches and avoid long innings, yet he’s shown very little progress in either regard.
He is a good pitcher this year and overall yet it’s not a stretch to say he can’t be and shouldn’t be better at this point. Unless of course he is hurt, then I would ask why he’s being allowed to throw.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, based on what I've seen
Kaz not only has inferior stuff to Price, he doesn’t have near his command or poise, either. And I’m one of those who ripped people earlier in the year for saying Price would be better than Kaz. His velocity never got back to the mid-90s second half form of last season and his command is worse than ever.
www.raysbb.com
Yes, we really do have fans.
Kazmir's fastball is every bit as good. Despite not throwing as hard. And when it's on, what I've seen, Kazmirs slider and Change-up is better.

Price is the better pitcher now.

Changeup is better
The slider is debatable. Price’s is harder and when on, has close to as much movement. I’m just concerned with Kaz, period. He was throwing 93-96 the entire second half last season, and hasn’t gotten close to that form at all this year. He has to be injured, he is not this bad of a pitcher.
www.raysbb.com
Yes, we really do have fans.
The average velocity is the same.
But he only topped out at ~94 tonight. That doesn’t seem very Kazmir-ish.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 9:00 PM EDT up reply actions
My arguement for Kazmir's slider:
Price does throw his harder, but it doesn’t have the insane tight, sharp, late break. Price’s really good, but I just think Kazmirs is more deceptive.

You don't need a tight break when you're throwing a slider 90 MPH.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 9:03 PM EDT up reply actions
Tight late break makes it more deceptive though. And it's more likely to fool the hitter.
Tools Whore
Sign Bonds!
It makes it more deceptive, sure.
But at the same time the hitter is going from 94+ FB to 88+ SL with a slight break in towards righties, that’s no cake walk.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 9:07 PM EDT up reply actions
Additionally
Price is more of a groundball pitcher than Kaz. I am Kaz’s biggest fan and still think he’s going to be great, but I underestimated Price earlier in the season. He’s going to be a really, really good MLB pitcher for a long time. There’s what, 2, maybe 3 LH starting pitchers that throw as hard as consistently as Price?

He had dropped to 92-93 in the 7th
and then got it back and blew Giambi away on nothing but 95 MPH heaters to end the frame. The fact that Price’s fastball at its worst is still better than most lefties’ heaters speaks to how good that pitch is.

It's sad that I have more faith in a rookie
with 5.1 IP behind his belt at this point than Kazmir. Even when he pitches well this year, he can’t make it past 5 innings with any consistency.

But it seemed
that my changing my sig brought immediate results….immediate bad results ( I did it right before the series at home against NYY)

Countdown till' the

His slider has stunk all year
certainly not the vintage Kaz take out pitch we’ve all become accustomed to.

Yes, we really do have fans.
he needs to get it back for next year
he won’t be a great starter without his secondary pitches, its holding him back a lot.
Still watching, hoping for some wacky roster hijinx
Maybe Michel Hernandez in LF and/or Jonny Gomes on the mound.
You can save power for that far in advance?
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions
I love that he had the foresight to start saving up in June.

He made the last out of big Z's no-no.

I think Gommes will pitch
and bean Coco for us, and then a beanch clearing brawl will happen and we cango to sleep knowing Coco just got bean by Gomes
During his peak perhaps.
He doesn’t hit righties well.

well good night to everyone as I am off to bed
hopefully I can listen on the radio to the rays coming back…
the one issue with Aybar
is he’s not a great athlete and is limited to the corner positions. He is a decent hitter so he could have some value.
Unfortunately the Nats have corners. Just nothing else.

they need a first baseman
Garko sucks and is lazy

He's fallen so far.
I couldn’t see us landing much for him though. Shapiro is smart.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions
Shapiro smart?
he committed big money for a guy who can’t field a position!!
by sofladude77 on Sep 15, 2008 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions
Shapiro is a one hit wonder
the Bartolo Colon trade. If the Rays signed Travis Hafner to that kind of money it would cripple us.

Oakland could probably use him too,
but dealing with Beane isn’t fun.
Nomar and Blake are free agents, LA might be interested in taking him back.
We're relying too much on Colletti's incompetence.
But Friedman hasn’t dealt with him for a while.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't see why we couldn't work out a win/win with LA.
Sorta like we did with Minnesota. There’s just too much that makes sense for both teams.
I liked the quote that came out around the deadline.
“The Delmon deal made Minnesota lose their guts.” Or something like that.
Delmon is fat and bad.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 10:10 PM EDT up reply actions
That was a crazy few weeks.
New stadium and Delmon gone. Just insane.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 10:17 PM EDT up reply actions
We have a lot of pieces that need moving.
Well not really a lot, but everyone that needs to be moved should net a decent return.
Friedman is crafty.
I’m curious how high payroll will be expanded.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions
I doubt it'll be much.
I think it all depends on whether or not he feels the need to replace Floyd and Percival.
I'm up in Minneapolis tonight wearing my Rays gear.
I got at least 5 “thanks for that no good piece of shit Delmon Young” from at least 5 separate groups of Twins fans in the sports bar tonight :)
by Jason Collette on Sep 15, 2008 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions
But I see what you're saying.
Getting rid of Peirre/Jones and letting Kemp/Ethier play every day would be the best thing for the Dodgers.
Blake or Ibanez
either would be good for this team

Beane deals are generally fair for both sides. I don't see why he's that scary.

Hinske's replacement??

John Burketts year in Atlanta was so much fun to watch. His fastball moved 6 inches and he located it like a champ.
So much fun to watch hitter jump out of the way Jeter style and have strike 3 called on the inside corner.

Jeter sticks his butt out like a female cat in heat
On inside pitches.

Yes, we really do have fans.
Fernando's friends call him "Nando"... Fernie sounds gay.
Just to throwing that out there……I just put that further up in the thread but i figured no one saw it up there.
Fernie doesn't sound gay, he sounds white.

Nando is better than Fernie.
We’re not that creative.

I motion for a change to Nando. I like it better.

Fernie is too close to Furby.
I wonder if Nando ever owned a Furby?
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 15, 2008 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions
he used to have hair like a furby.
then he had a mohawk for a while. then he shaved it off. the mohawk was tight.
You are doing a great service. Our love of Perez is growing.

what happens in durham.....
doesn’t stay in durham as long as i’m here.
He also has fantastic taste in music.
Give Nando $5 and point him towards the jukebox.
If you say Abba so help me....

Another thing to point out
Why does Houston need to fix their stadium roof when Dallas never managed to fix theirs!!
Switch game with night and I've heard that many a time.

There were a few positived.
DanJo, Jaso, and Ruggiano for instance.
Also, Hinske failing is a moral victory for me.
