1. Tony H. Posted: September 08, 2005 at 07:13 PM (#1605240)When did Matthew get the keys? Congrats, Matthew.
I've actually always had them, I just never posted anything until now.
Have you seen this man?
Sizemore
Guitierrez
Vaszquez
Hafner
Belliard
Garko
Boone
Bard
Blake
Maybe not in that order
Can't wait to see Scooter Tucker or Gregg Olson next.
Needle was doing a story on how great the '95 team was.
I'm obviously not real big on the value of Veteran Presence (otherwise I probably wouldn't be posting here) but I think Wedge is right to start Jose Hernandez today rather than give Garko or Gutierrez their first major league at bats in the middle of a madcap 3-way battle for a playoff spot.
I don't know much about him defensively, other than he doesn't have a good reputation. No idea if that's in terms of his arm, or his ability to block pitches in the dirt, or his ability yo call a game.
If Millwood isn't comfortable with the idea of starting Garko, you don't do it, but it's not as if you lose much offensively even if Garko The Destroyer is pressing.
IIRC, he was trying to come back from an arm injury, but I don't remember why it was just one appearance.
Anybody know the story with John Farrell’s one appearance in 1995?
Farrell came back from a long rehab. He ws pitching well until Greg Kosc farted and tore Farrell's labrum in the process. Damn you Greg Kosc.
Anyway, maybe we'll get to see (or in my case, listen to) him pinch hit today.
He was released in the off season and pitched breifly for the Mariners. I would venture to guess that he hurt his arm.
Please get yur head out of your ass. Thanks.

He was playing 5 games a week at first, 2 games a week at catcher, IIRC.
Maybe they should hire Rick Manning to be their baserunning coach.
Explain.
It is going to be a long day.
Explain.
Pudge on 3rd. Didn;t break for home. Mags goes to 3rd. 2 runners on the same base. lead runner gets the base. Mags out.
Explain.
On a ground ball to first, Ordonez put his head down and took off for third while Pudge stood there on third and didn't move. They both ended up standing at third.
I too am surprised to see Garko not behind the plate, but I guess Bard plays as the backup C on the "go with what has gotten you here" theory.
Good to see the Indians are being patient with the Cowboy behind the plate.
MLB, if you're still here, any word on if you'll be able to join us Monday?
Nope, I just had to take a dump and got engrossed in the new Cabela's catalog.
Is Millwood over 100 pitches yet?
Also, we are 20-30 in 1-run games. That is crazy with the bullpen we've got. The beginning of the season killed us there. Just think if the Indians had even a .500 record in 1-run games. Does it make sense to criticize Wedge for this stat? I think it does, as it seems like he's left his starters in too long a lot this year.
But that was awesome.
Freaking Jose Hernandez at first.
i said it to myself. should've posted it.
whatever casey's personal problem was, i'm glad he got over it, for his own sake and for the sake of the indians.
Anyway, this is why you don't inexplicably move your decent hitting third baseman to RF.
Yay for Coco.
If I were the Tigers, I would go home now.
Yeah, that's probably true, but even if you take this year out:
Casey '05: .759 OPS
Before '05: .770 OPS
He's still a bad-hitting and bad-fielding corner outfielder, but his season totals aren't going to be all that bad...considering the first half he had.
ECE what makes you say Blake is a bad-fielding corner OFer? I think he's pretty good out there, but I'm not much of a scout.
Teams most likely to make the postseason:
St. Louis
Chicago (A)
Atlanta
San Diego
Boston
Cleveland

I also notice that the Indians are the #2 team in baseball according to W3, only .5 behind the Cardinals.
Actually, I take that back. We're #1 in baseball according to W3 winning percentage. Ahead of even the Cardinals. Weird.
Sorry to disappear after I said that.
I think he has a really strong arm and pretty good range, but to me he looks like a guy who's never played the outfield before.
He gets some bad jumps and takes the occasional "interesting" route to the ball.
When I say he's a bad-fielding outfielder, I don't mean Manny-bad or Kevin Mitchell-bad. I just mean worse than average.
YMMV, of course.
