from Will Carroll's latest.. It's not often that I have to wonder whether I can actually describe an injury on the radio. When I was talking to Dave Kaplan on WGN the other night, I actually had to ask "Can I say 'twisted testicle' on the air?" Answer? Yes. Do I ever want to? No. Pie has a problem that is, as you'd expect, exceptionally painful, but not a long-term concern. How it happened is unclear, but it's luckily an uncommon problem in men. Usually, the problem will correct itself, but sometimes, it has to be--you guessed it--untwisted with "surgical or manual methods." Try not to imagine it and know that Pie isn't going to miss much time. This little twist in his spring training shouldn't decide whether or not he gets the starting nod in center field

"We're not going to leave resources that would go into the payroll and go into our restoration plans on the table to appease people who say, 'I don't think you should do it.'" Jesus fuck, that makes me want to strangle Crane Kenney. The Trib selling the naming rights has fuck all to do with payroll or restoration plans; they'll be long out of the picture when any restoration begins and they'll probably be gone before another payroll is set. This is PURELY about pumping up the volume of Wrigley Field so they can coerce a higher price from the State in a rigged frigging deal that those of us in Illinois are going to have to pay for. FUCK.

"and to make matters worse he was a left fielder, delivering meager run production from a position that really can't afford that luxury." sigh... its so not 1960 anymore. we have SS and CF who hit for power and C's who hit for ob%/avg. the sum of your team is worth more than looking at any position and its batting strength. reminds me of an "argument" i had with someone who was claiming Ichiro in RF is useless while Ichiro in CF was a plus...based on things that have absolutely nothing to do with his glove, what his teammates were doing, or the fact that what some other RF does with a bat has nothing to do with what Ichiro does with a bat. its time to let that argument die a long overdue death.

Well, the argument is correct, but the application of it in this case isn't very good. Not even counting non-stolen base baserunning, Coleman had a better years in Left than Manny Ramirez put up last year, according to BP. Coleman batted leadoff and played left field for the '85 Cards. He wasn't a very good OBP guy, but he was an outstanding defender (ET McGhee played center) and he was a terror on he basepaths. That Cards team had about 60 fewer errors than their competition. He had a bad season in 1994, but the next season he rebounded to a respectable .348 OBP. One of the things that this type of statistical review trivializes is the manager's decision process. It's not what Coleman did for the first half of 1994 that made a difference to the manager on July 6th when he was filling out his lineup card. It's what the manager expected Coleman to do on July 6th.

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Amen to that last point!
