Re: MLB 2010: Hope Springs Eternal
Jerry had to bring him in because it was a save situation. But he had to go with Dessens before that because it was not a save situation. And he had to go with Feliciano before that because it is a rule that righty relievers are not allowed to pitch to lefties, and he had to take him out because lefty relievers are not allowed to pitch to righties.

Doesn't help that he keeps on getting used because Jerry is a retard and likes to give him "innings to keep him sharp" and then have him pitch 4/5 days and then bomb.

In other news: I understand it's not the Cubs' year, but are they even trying anymore?

I'm excited to see Omar Infante on the All-Star team!!!!!
Cripes, what a stupid event all All-Star games are. I wouldn't pay a nickel to see one, and that is coming from someone who is willingly paying to see the Astros host the Pirates next month.

Royals are tossing a no hitter into the 2nd inning.
Its the Royals, so this is big news.

Re: MLB 2010: Hope Springs Eternal
Here's a stat line for ya: 19 HR, .412 OBP, .984 OPS - didn't make the NL roster.
Here's another: 1 HR, .341 OBP, .717 OPS, 156 at-bats - manager selection to the NL team.
Maybe this will be rectified with the 34th man vote, but honestly, it shouldn't come to that.
All-Star selections are a joke.

It's Votto's fault for playing First Base which is stacked in both leagues.
How bout leaving Ryan Howard at home and taking Votto instead. That was the real injustice!

Re: MLB 2010: Hope Springs Eternal
Plus with the game being in Anaheim, that means AL rules and thus a DH. Nah, the NL can't possibly find a use for a guy leading their league in one of the most important batting categories and who gets on base the 2nd most often without making an out.
Correction: 3rd most often. Willingham and Pujols are tied with a .413 OBP. Votto is at .412. Nobody else in the NL is above .391.
If you can make a plausible argument for leaving a guy off a team that leads the league in OPS, I'd love to hear it.

Re: MLB 2010: Hope Springs Eternal
First, I should say I agree Votto should be on the team.
The argument is that you can't play him in the field late in the game anywhere but 1st. Infante can play several infield spots. He is more valuable late in a game.
So if you are trying to win an all-star game because it apparently means something you need a versatile player. The best hitters only get hits 3-in-10 times, but defense is all the time.

Re: MLB 2010: Hope Springs Eternal
A light-hitting utility player with few at-bats making the AS team is a joke, plain and simple. Then again, having an exhibition game "mean something" is also a joke, but I digress.
More valuable defensively. Far less valuable offensively.
Or you could just play the best player at each position the entire game with potential substitutions involving the 2nd best player at each position.

Re: MLB 2010: Hope Springs Eternal
I said I agreed with you.
Torii has 7 RBI tonight. He must love hitting against the Royals.
He is also now 6 for 6 with the bases loaded this year.
