Yeah, that comment seemed questionable. If anything, he may not be comfortable throwing from 3B yet.

* - if healthy.

The 2006 Cardinals think this is a World Series contender.

I think he mentioned something like that earlier in the game. Something was mentioned about Marisnick following ball spin which was probably moreso following where the bat path was when the ball was hit. Hands on the inside of a hit pitch meant basically a slice effect. I like this kind of analysis (even if I did have this bit of understanding before).

Overall I liked his appearance in the booth. It broke up the monotony and he had some nuggets worth listening to.

I get the frustration, but dude, please, do not throw out your shoulder in the dugout.

A 4 game series is tough to sweep.

This is a worthwhile move to have a veteran of Burks' skill set in the backcourt to start the season.

I don't think I new this technicality. NBA transactions have a degree of timing and/or fine print such as this that can get me confused at times. Like, when is Chris Paul going to actually dress up and play for the Lakers?

I'll gladly take something for Cisnero. Maybe the return is Olson. Maybe the return is Maton. If they don't trade Cisnero, the return is nothing, except maybe Cisnero next season.

So, let me see if I get this straight. The Tigers can actually win a game in which Rogers hits a HR. But two pitchers need to be sacrificed in the process? I don't know if that's a worthwhile long term strategy.

Pssst. Rich Aurilia says hello. The funny thing is Seattle signed him and dealt away Guillen in that same offseason.

Hasn’t Malloy been playing LF rather than 3B lately? Maton and Keith might flip flop a bit, but Malloy won’t necessarily be a part of that. I wonder if Maton is better off in the middle IF. My worthless scouting report is that it seems like his issues at 3B seem highly affected by reaction time. I don’t know if playing back a bit further would help his defense. I don’t know if he’d have the range for it. Heck, they’re putting Ibanez in the OF and we’re likely to see Nevin out there at some point. Might as well try that with Maton, too?

Yes he was. I used his picture in a game thread specifically because of that.

He’s not in the lineup tonight vs the LHP.

Speaking of cruddy relievers, I was highly against bringing back Jose Cisnero. But he has pitched pretty well this season.

There’s probably no need to rush MeadowsP if the outfield is healthy. Greene will be playing everyday. Hopefully they try Carpenter everyday. Baddoo/Vierling in the other spot. They could split DH with Carpenter vs RHPs and Cabrera vs LHPs, that might open up playing time for MeadowsP vs RHPs in Detroit’s OF. Tough to see a trade involving any of those guys, but you never know.

Same with a half dozen other Tigers.

I like Brown, but yeah, it’s easy to see how might get overpaid given the ring and the lack of free agents.

Kinda gotta see if there's anything there at some point, right? Or maybe they already know and it ain't good. But even if that's the case, he's still on the 40. so what's the point of keeping him on the 40 if they know it ain't good?

I know. I just want the head bands.
