Well, the 2-2 pitch was a strike, so Rolen should be out, but you can’t really call the very next pitch, which is much lower, a strike, after calling that one a ball

Isn't this a Kuo night
I mean if you wait until tomorrow, that takes him out of at least 2 of the three games over the weekend.
Good call.
From a managerial standpoint, you can start assuming that tomorrow is a house money game

Gotta think Blake gets a rest, along with Manny of course. And I bet DeWitt is in for defense with Ely on the bump.

I don't think it was

To summarize how I feel about that story, John Ely’s dad may as well have been wearing an orange Dodger cap with a non-LA logo

For purposes of this mini-non-point
I am assuming the Braves’ primary color isn’t red. So…
Here’s how the last four series have gone against red teams:
D-Backs: sweep
D-Backs: sweep
Cards: sweep
Angels: got swept
Reds: you know the story
Red Sox: …
.471/.500/.882
Guess who in 18 PA loves to face Bronson Arroyo.
I would expect to see Garrett Anderson in LF and maybe Ellis catching.
Casey Blake does okay against Arroyo.
Also Kemp and Ethier hit well against Arroyo.
Carroll is 0-7 against him.
that Ethier clip on top is both frightening and funny
but one thing it’s not is surprising. He gets made after, like, one unlucky line drive. He’s hit into nearly a dozen since he’s gotten back from the DL, and that’s probably not an exagerration.
I like that female Reds mascot

Interesting
I remember nothing about it, but that whole thing sure seemed star-crossed.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
LOL
You know, has there ever been studies that show that pitching after a long delay is detrimental to the pitcher’s arm (or other parts, e.g., obliques) health, or is that simply the old conventional wisdom?
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
But's what is the use of warming up Kuo
if he isn’t going to face Votto.
On the otherhand – Kershaw isn’t pitching again until next Tuesday.
Then again
Belisario could finish it off, Kuo could pitch tomorrow, and perhaps he can pitch twice this weekend if needed. They have been loosening the reins on Kuo in terms of multiple innings, and I know he has offered to pitch on back-to-backs. Who knows?
by Eric Stephen on Jun 16, 2010 6:25 PM PDT up reply actions
Or Ely could pitch a complete game shutout
and make it all moot.
Broxton is probably going to pitch tomorrow (I hope not tonight) because he has only pitched once in a week.
It is possible
that the plan is for him only to fact Votto no matter what.

Scott Baker
who averages 6.6 K/9, today has struck out 8 Rockies in the first 4 innings, including Todd Helton twice in his 2 AB. Twins lead 2-0.

With Gomes up it makes sense to bring in Belisario. Kuo could come right in to face Bruce afterwards.
I think they will leave him in to face Bruce

OPS career:
vs. righties: .844
vs. lefties: .640
Torre would never pass that up.

8 innings pitched and 2 runs at Yankee Stadium. Up 6-2.

I don’t think it was necessarily the one baserunner rule here, but not letting Gomes face a LHP.

I love this quote (out of context of course) from the SI Nolan Ryan pitch count article, where the dude is impersonating his 7 year old daughter coming up with the pitch limit:
“Um, let them throw, uh, 100 pitches. Is 100 a lot?” True story, when I was 7 I said my dad weighed 100 pounds, cause that was as high as I could count. The article

there are many soccer leagues around the world, especially in Europe, that can lay claim to being the best in the world. EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundasliga. Name another basketball league in the world not based in North America. The leagues that are played in around the world are nowhere near the same level as the NBA.
pretty much it does
the NBA has the world’s best players….
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."

The NBA is basketball’s highest level. That’s why there are so many players from other parts of the world playing there. Pau Gasol for example.
