Is Morse unavailable? For how long? Or is it just a couple of days so he can feel better?

He's too busy in the clubhouse voting himself into the ASG to be bothered to play in this game.

I did my part.

Mattheus has been an exxcellent addition.

Is this there set-up man?

Marshall is their best reliever. By the way I hate how all I heard was CUBBIES during that 7th inning stretch.

thanks fanboy... (even though losing that bet cost me going to today's game )

? How so

hammondsnats · « **Reply #508:** July 04, 2011, 03:09:14 PM »

Desmond really needs to get going.

How about a bunt?

Mattheus has been an exxcellent addition.

He has a 4.50 SIERA... I'd be very cautious about deploying him in high-leverage situations in the future.

Nix with the pick!

Yup, as I tried to explain in another thread - catching a low throw at first that bounces is the same skill as another fielder catching a short hop hit ball.

The ball ... and the glove ... don't know how they got there.

LOL Desmond's swing on the first pitch.

spidernat · « **Reply #512:** July 04, 2011, 03:09:32 PM »

Guess the outcome of Desmond's at bat.

Weak grounder to SS.

Tyler Durden · « **Reply #513:** July 04, 2011, 03:09:47 PM »

Desmond is terrible.

UMDNats · « **Reply #514:** July 04, 2011, 03:10:10 PM »

How long will this organization accept Desmond's offense? 4 years? 10? A career's worth?

Can desmond homer here?

DPMOmaha · « **Reply #517:** July 04, 2011, 03:10:27 PM »

The stats line under Desmond's name says he has 3 HRs. For the life of me, I can't remember when he hit those...

Go go go. (Explanation please

Urgh... there is a thread somewhere here where I went into detail about it. Marquis and I had an animated discussion. Maybe the Stats thread?

SIERA is like FIP but a slightly better predictor, especially of extreme pitchers. For example, it nails guys like Clippard and Hudson a lot better than traditional metrics do.

OMG Desmond is on base!

Totally irrelevant stat that tells you nothing.

Laynce would have made that play.
