Well some of the commetators here do act like children

So maybe Kid Pitch is the perfect show for them.

He's not a duke fan.

He’s just a college basketball fan. Obsessively almost. I’m sure there is a better game on that he’s actually watching.

They can switch over in the last 2 minutes

Even though there wasn't going to be a play on that

One of his good years, I just picked one

That dude was a stud and will never get a vote for the HoF because of his attitude. It’s stupid.

Eh it didn't bother me.

I still liked him. I owned with him on MVP baseball

From Yer Scurvy Dog SRQman

by SRQman on Mar 19, 2010 8:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes

and he also had a 49 HR/48 2B year in ’98 as well.

.933 career OPS.

by FloridaownsFSU on Mar 19, 2010 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Just looked it up career wOBA of .396

Rally has him at 37.1 career WAR though because longevity wasn’t his deal. That puts him between Jason Kendall and Chili Davis about 318th all time. Part of that had to be his defense, but his bat was sick.

Sternfan could tell you anything that you want to know about those Indians team

Don’t think him being a Rays fan is the first time that he jumped on a team of young guys going somewhere.

I know it's ST and all

but can we not make Sergio Mitre look good?

PIZZA?!?

by Transplanted on Mar 19, 2010 8:01 PM EDT reply actions  

From what I've read

Mitre’s looked pretty good the entire spring.

Of course, that’s when you know it’s spring training.

Lol yeah

But Chad Gaudin was beastin last year too

It's amazing there is no huge blowout in the tourney so far

Hey, what are yall’s impressions of Shoppach so far? I know he hit a couple home runs the first week, but overall, how’s he been?

We’re loving Talbot so far.

... Paul Hoynes is a really great guy ...

I mean you still never know but a lane violation. AWFUL

by SRQman on Mar 19, 2010 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

not too mention, it was a horrible officiating decision to not review the time at the end

knowing that even an extra .1 gives NMSU an opportunity to tie. You have to make sure the clock is right, and it sure seemed like it should have been around .5/.6 instead of .3 (allowing only a tip)

by Dbullsfan on Mar 19, 2010 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agree

So lame

Gaudin certainly didn't help his cause tonight.

Maybe you guys can get him back at end of spring, then keep Sonny strectched out in AAA for depth. Could maybe use another back end pen arm with JP looking ?

Gaudin’s on an arb deal for 2.9MM, but it’s non-guaranteed. NY could release him soon and just pay termination pay – save em over 2 Mil. With Mitre, who’s out of options, looking better he could take the long pen role. Gaudin could be picked up for peanuts at season’s start. And he’d likely be pissed at NY. Just sayin’.

Not an earthshaking move, but it wouldn’t be a bad thing to do.

by nyyfaninlaaland on Mar 20, 2010 3:06 AM EDT reply actions  

Apparently the talk in NY is they will try to trade one or the other

and Mitre because of current ST cache and a much smaller contract is probably more easily moved.

by nyyfaninlaaland on Mar 20, 2010 3:59 AM EDT up reply actions  

Why in the world would we want Chad Gaudin

Peddle your wares elsewhere.
