F! moves from 2nd to 8th.
What logic is this?

I have no idea
Jerry is showing no confidence in him. First by pinch hitting for him and now this.

He should have never been second to begin with
but this just shows Jerry’s lack of confidence for what ever reason, and you knew Jerry would have to go with the hot bat in Murphy.
But still, the biggest question of logic is: Why is Omir Santos in the major leagues?

David Wright is so strange. I really can’t ever remember seeing a guy more hot and cold as David has been in 2009. He goes from making the most elite pitchers in the sport look like easy work, lining base hits with ease all over the field, but then when he is going cold there is no worse hitter in the league. He has gotten into some terrible habits and every time (seemingly) that we go into a small park he starts trying to launch balls. Sometime in the last two days he got into the whole I’m going to pull everything you throw me over the LF fence approach that I hate so much. Uehara blew three 86 mph fastballs right past David, crappy located fastballs right down the middle of the plate, you would have thought it he was throwing 100. I wish somebody would just tell David he is not a home run hitter. When he starts getting that pull happy upper cut swing, he is an easy out. This isn’t meant to be a David Wright sucks rant, far from it. I just find it so curious that the kid can go 3 weeks of hitting .700 and then all the sudden he just looks absolutely lost, unable to hit mid 80’s fastballs with plate. I can’t be the only one who sees this right?

I've been seeing it for 4 years
He’s a streaky player but the hot streaks far outweight the cold streaks and that’s what makes him great. Consistency is nice, but I’ll take 8 more of him if I can get them.

My guess is, that's politely saying his defense sucks, short range.
by Michkin on Jun 18, 2009 7:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
But that's not what it means
“Livan can field his position” = “Livan is a good fielder”
So why don’t you just say that he’s a good fielder? Or say something more precise like say he has good range, or that he has soft hands, or that he charges bunts well, or something like that?
I guess maybe I’m curious about the etymology of the saying more than anything else.

Man Livan is ridiculous
He gives up ropes, then he’ll get a double play, work out of a bases loaded jam by striking out their best hitter and getting lucky on a high line drive to our smallest and worst defensive infielder. He’ll nimbly field his position by snagging line drives and making aggressive put out attempts. He’ll get good hitters fooled on trick cutters and eephus pitches. Oh and he’ll give up home runs to the other team’s worst hitter.

The regression may be inevitable
but I think your claims are in error. His LD% is def a career low but his HR/FB was higher for several seasons in the middle of his career and is not that much higher than his career avg. Also his BABIP is in line w/career norms but perhaps should be a shade lower. The strength of his game right now is plate discipline and that seems totally sustainable.

man
as long as feliciano doesn’t hang pitches he’s great. all he has to do is keep the ball away.

any chance he needs a break?
i’m not his biggest fan; maybe he’s getting used too much

Maybe?
He pitched all three against Philly, one against NYY and all three this series. That’s a lot of work lately.

We could certainly use some help vs. lefties out of the pen.
I don’t think Switzer is ever going to get a chance. The dearth of decent relief arms in our system is troubling.

if we can get an out here
it’d be really nice to see an insurance run added in the top half of the inning.

by Michkin on Jun 18, 2009 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Normally I'd agree
But if not for Castillo’s D tonight, we’d be looking at a deficit of at least 6-4.
Really, Jerry?

"productive offensive day"
Bunting produces what, exactly? An out? For one base? Yea, that’s a great deal.

Wait, don't we already have the lead?
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t assume there is some logic to the bunting.

No one has trained Manuel otherwise.

OK
So before the bunt the O’s had a 14.3% chance of winning.
After: 15.3%
HOW IS THAT PRODUCTION?
