that Miami is about the worst area to place a major league baseball team. It’s even dumber they’re putting in a new stadium, for all the fans that don’t go now, and probably still won’t go in the future.
It doesnt make sense when I first heard it BUT they play in a football stadium, they dont do crap for their fans and their team has been consistent since he beginning of their franchise. So maybe a new stadium will acommodate their fans better and show the respect that that team deserves
Well by what mechanism is lineup protection supposed to work, exactly?
Jeff Kent’s OBP on the season is .327, and it’s .472 over the past 14 days. Am I supposed to believe that pitchers, managers and teams are so braindead that they’ll put Kent on base more often when they’re trying to put him on base less often and just not realize it?
Joe Torre thinks it works. Joe Torre thinks a lot of stupid things. If Joe Torre didn’t have George Steinbrenner’s money backing him up for so many years he’d probably be doing Dan Plesac’s job these days. Your point?
that lineup protection has no bearing on Kent’s resurgence (not to mention he has no right to be an ass when a hall of famer makes such a suggestion).
While Manny’s presence might not be the only factor contributing to Kent’s boost, I find it a bit obtuse to dismiss is as having no impact.
You say:
Am I supposed to believe that pitchers, managers and teams are so braindead that they’ll put Kent on base more often when they’re trying to put him on base less often and just not realize it?
No one is asking you to believe the other team is braindead. But it is certainly a possibility that Manny’s ominous presence behind Kent has put pressure on pitchers to not walk Kent and to that end throw him more pitches in the strike zone.
This set of circumstances certainly could contribute to Kent’s recent success. It definitely could.
And Kent is dead wrong to call out Scully for saying it.
proves your point. But like I said, Manny may not be the reason for Kent’s success. Although I obviously think it has at least contributed in the short term.
But he reveals himself to be a low-quality human being to speak so disrespectfully of Vin Scully. That was my main argument.
But you should start by asking questions like, “How likely is it that a good hitter hits .439 for two weeks?” And, “What’s the effect of protection on major league players in general?”
“I think it’s helped him,” Torre said, while aware this might draw a steely glare from Kent. “Jeff is a good enough hitter in his own right, and being a good hitter he has the patience to take advantage of a pitcher who doesn’t want to walk the guy who bats ahead of Manny.”
Maybe I won’t miss much of today’s game. I mean, I hope it isn’t cancelled, but hopefull I can catch half of it when my overtime is done in a few hours.
But I have a family cookout to attend, and I know the game will be going there, which will make things all the better…That is, as long as they’re winning or being competitive.
My grandma from my father’s side passed away from complications caused by it, my mom is diabetic, a couple of my uncles too. I try to do what I can for as far as donations go to research a cure.
Hot-lanta and Miami. Who would want to go to those cities in August? I think it was a smart decision on his part. Save his energy for the stretch drive. We need him!!
If this guy talking on WGN is driving south on I55,
he should probably be paying attention to the road. That is by far the hardest strip of interstate to navigate out of all the ones I have been on around Chicago.
speaking of living with diabetes being rough, see conversations above
I am doing a run for the cure of diabetes in Indianapolis in October (more details to come) and am raising money for it.. the minimum to raise is only 100$ but I want to raise around 2000$, so within the week I will have a website set up for donations, and a facebook group that has information on how to donate for the cause and what not… so when I do that I will let all you know, if you are interested in donating for the cure to diabetes… if not, thats ok, just thought I would share that news
I am very involved in my local Relay for Life to find a cure for cancer. It is good to find something you are passionate about and helps so many people.
I’m fairly terrified of tornados. Few weeks ago, the storm that hit Chicago, hit us too, and the first time in forever my fiancee and I head into our basement.

Amazing

Blaze22 - August 17, 2008
And yet
They’re going to be building an entirely new stadium, at least I thought they were. Or was that for the Rays?
Craig in South Bend - August 17, 2008
Yeah they are getting a new stadium as far as I know
Blaze22 - August 17, 2008
I still think
that Miami is about the worst area to place a major league baseball team. It’s even dumber they’re putting in a new stadium, for all the fans that don’t go now, and probably still won’t go in the future.

SouthsideCUBSfan - August 17, 2008
OT: more reason to hate Jeff Kent
He’s badmouthing Vin Scully.
Link
Reddevil - August 17, 2008
Kent's an ass, but he has a point.
And in an contest between Kent and Simmers, I pick Kent. Simmer’s such a useless hack that I’ve felt compelled to defend Juan Pierre from his screeds.
cwyers - August 17, 2008
Could you elaborate?
I’m having a hard time finding Kent’s point.
BlueSox - August 17, 2008
Lineup protection is vastly overrated.
cwyers - August 17, 2008
Interesting.
I don’t suppose there is a simple reason for that that I (not good with stats) would understand.
BlueSox - August 17, 2008
Well by what mechanism is lineup protection supposed to work, exactly?
Jeff Kent’s OBP on the season is .327, and it’s .472 over the past 14 days. Am I supposed to believe that pitchers, managers and teams are so braindead that they’ll put Kent on base more often when they’re trying to put him on base less often and just not realize it?
cwyers - August 17, 2008
You're vastly over simplifying
to make your point.
See the Torre quote below.
Reddevil - August 17, 2008
What complexities and nuances am I missing?
Joe Torre thinks it works. Joe Torre thinks a lot of stupid things. If Joe Torre didn’t have George Steinbrenner’s money backing him up for so many years he’d probably be doing Dan Plesac’s job these days. Your point?
cwyers - August 17, 2008
You're just taking a hard line stance
that lineup protection has no bearing on Kent’s resurgence (not to mention he has no right to be an ass when a hall of famer makes such a suggestion).
While Manny’s presence might not be the only factor contributing to Kent’s boost, I find it a bit obtuse to dismiss is as having no impact.

This set of circumstances certainly could contribute to Kent’s recent success. It definitely could.
And Kent is dead wrong to call out Scully for saying it.
Reddevil - August 17, 2008
Well it didn’t work for David Ortiz. Ortiz actually hit better (not dramatically so, but just a little bit) when Manny Ramirez wasn’t playing.
cwyers - August 17, 2008
And here’s a more generalized study on lineup protection. There’s no measured effect of lineup protection on hits on balls in play.
cwyers - August 17, 2008
Not sure your exception
proves your point. But like I said, Manny may not be the reason for Kent’s success. Although I obviously think it has at least contributed in the short term.
But he reveals himself to be a low-quality human being to speak so disrespectfully of Vin Scully. That was my main argument.
Reddevil - August 17, 2008
I never argued that Kent was a decent human being.
In fact I think I called him an ass… yep, just checked, I called him an ass.
That doesn’t change the fact that Kent is correct and Scully is wrong on the merits.
cwyers - August 17, 2008
Uncle
Reddevil - August 17, 2008
Should no one
question why Kent’s hitting .500 since he started hitting behind Manny?
Maybe lineup protection isn’t the answer, but its the obvious change in circumstances.
There’s no way Kent gets a pass for speaking out of turn against Scully.
Reddevil - August 17, 2008
Sure you should question it!
But you should start by asking questions like, “How likely is it that a good hitter hits .439 for two weeks?” And, “What’s the effect of protection on major league players in general?”
cwyers - August 17, 2008
Also...
“Manager Joe Torre also disagrees with Kent.”
“I think it’s helped him,” Torre said, while aware this might draw a steely glare from Kent. “Jeff is a good enough hitter in his own right, and being a good hitter he has the patience to take advantage of a pitcher who doesn’t want to walk the guy who bats ahead of Manny.”
Reddevil - August 17, 2008
I don't think the rain delay
will be very long. The radar out of Miami just shows a few pop up showers here and there.

Where’s Ron? Since he hasn’t been on the broadcasts, I’ve been hoping he’s OK. What happened to him? Sorry if I missed that bit of info.
Craig in South Bend - August 17, 2008
Ron doesnt make every road trip these days
I do worry about the man’s health tho. Living with diabetes is rough, particularly after he’s lost both his legs.
DWChaney - August 17, 2008
Sadly enough
My grandma from my father’s side passed away from complications caused by it, my mom is diabetic, a couple of my uncles too. I try to do what I can for as far as donations go to research a cure.

sue369 - August 17, 2008
I am sure the SpongeBob sponsors
want that image for the product. :-)
Is that why they call it “product placement?”
LAcarl519 - August 17, 2008

SouthsideCUBSfan - August 17, 2008
Good eye, Geo. Hope the patience at the plate keeps up.
Then we’ll get that guy.
BOB, A SPONGE IN YOUR PANTS OR ARE YOU JUST GLAD TO SEE ME?

Not as good as homer
But again, way to work the pitcher, and hopefully we can eventually put 2 or 3 up.
Craig in South Bend - August 17, 2008

LAcarl519 - August 17, 2008

Blaze22 - August 17, 2008

He was referring to it as a way to keep cool there today.

Let me start over. Don't want to freak out just yet but...
if we don’t score this inning, it’ll start to feel a lot like last night.

LAcarl519 - August 17, 2008
Need to cash in on these runners
Cant let this guy off the hook
Basman - August 17, 2008
pun intended?
Blaze22 - August 17, 2008
Good catch.
Clutch16 - August 17, 2008
But was THAT pun intended?
zm1217 - August 17, 2008
Indeed, a fine kettle of fish!
cwyers - August 17, 2008

nolacubbiegirl - August 17, 2008
bah
that was a prime opportunity.
drewishdrewid - August 17, 2008
Terrible at bat Soriano
Too many LOBs
FXDregs - August 17, 2008
Just like last night so far....
We’ve stranded three runners in scoring position in the first two innings.
We’re facing a pitcher who is wild (like last night), and we’re letting him hang in the game.
Cubfansince1957 - August 17, 2008
For a good time go here-

sue369 - August 17, 2008
Great
And this is why I hate it when they play in Miami. Something about that team makes it impossible for the Cubs to score runs.
Craig in South Bend - August 17, 2008
Hey guys just lurkking today
Let’s get the series today!
