So why is Bruce Chen pitching today instead of Greinke?

there was an off day between their starts last time through

Ok, my turn to ask a question.
Why are they wearing Negro League uniforms again tonight?

at the point that MLB or the teams sell them for $50 in the team shops.

so i was reading a scouting report on chen
fastball 84-88 (if he really really exerts some effort), plus change, big slow curveball, and a slider
realistically speaking
I dont see how you can get picked off by him though...
when throwing to first he had a much higher leg kick than pitching out of the stretch

I looked up "grit" in the dictionary
And saw Willie Bloomquist’s picture after scoring that run
Grit
1 a: sand, gravel b: a hard sharp granule (as of sand) ; also : material (as many abrasives) composed of such granules
2: any of several sandstones
3 a: the structure of a stone that adapts it to grinding b: the size of abrasive particles usually expressed as their mesh
4: firmness of mind or spirit : unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger
5 (capitalized) : a Liberal in Canadian politics
6: Willie Bloomquist

How do the umps justify taking away that double to Trey?

If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
I may be 100% wrong for what I'm about to type (there's my disclaimer)
It really seems like we have more calls overturned or go against us and Trey goes out and just nods and shakes his head. It’s like the umps know he isn’t going to say anything and have zero respect for him.
Just a feeling I get from watching.

I guess Big Willie and Little Billy have had a decent night.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
I'll take you guys' word on that
but four runs on seven hits says he wasn’t much better than “average,” if that.
Could’ve been worse I suppose.
Ugh. Losing to the Pirates is such a waste.

The prize had to be appropriately small.

Yeah
I just get so frustrated at our lack of scoring runs. Just not sure why we all see it but GMDM and Hillman doesn’t see it
Well you have to keep him fresh.
You get stale when you don’t play often.
or the T-Bones.
He isn’t ever going to be a contributor. Especially if TPJ is going to be around.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
I definitely won't.
Defense is a shitty argument if TPJ is on the roster. I agree with you 100% on this.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
his defense isn't even great...
if he played D like Ozzie Smith, then maybe.

Good
So why are all of us in here the only common sense people out there? GMDM does watch these games don’t he? I am sure he sees this crap every day and thinks to himself, “hey I got the next Ozzie out there.”
why is BP's job in jeopardy
and TPJ’s job isn’t?

I'll copy and paste my response to Gatsby's questions.
Why so many questions? You’re already making my head hurt. Just trust Dayton and Trey and it will be smooth sailing.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Because a back-up catcher needs to OPS 1.000
and Brayan’s only at 938.
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
We need a new defensive alignment
where we can put BP at 2nd and Bert at Short

That Bradley for Nunez deal was awesome in retrospect
the Royals would have been a lot more fun with Milton Bradley randomly beating people up
or Milton Bradley on the same team as Jose Guillen

Carl Everett + belief in Dinosaurs = Milton Bradley
Still suffering from the greatest robbery of all time: The stealing of the 1994 AL Central title from the Royals
I think I'd take Bradley over Everett
Purely from a “can he hit a baseball” perspective.
Jurassic Carl sure was a gem.

good thing we had a good defensive center fielder like Willie Bloomquist

Maier can catch.
Cheer for the comeback, I’d love to see this.

Check swing at a slider in the dirt and then get tossed!
At least he’s alive.

If he bumped him,
Brayan has to play. Small positive.

Phil Cuzzi is a total moron
samples from his Wikipedia
Cuzzi has been at the center of several recent controversies. In the eighth inning of Game 4 of the 2005 National League Championship Series between the Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals, Cuzzi, working as the home plate umpire, ejected Cardinals star outfielder Jim Edmonds for allegedly arguing balls and strikes. With Edmonds batting and the count 3-1, Astros pitcher Dan Wheeler threw a fastball that Edmonds thought was ball four. As he started to walk down to first base, Edmonds was shocked to find that Cuzzi had called the pitch strike two. Edmonds turned around to ask where the pitch was, and was promptly tossed from the game. (…) Earlier in the game, Cuzzi had ejected Cardinals manager Tony La Russa for disputing balls and strikes from the dugout .
(…)
Cuzzi also has a controversial history with the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2003, with Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay pitching in his second to last game of the season and going for his team-record 22nd win, Cuzzi ejected the star pitcher for hitting Tampa Bay Devil Rays outfielder Rocco Baldelli with a pitch. Few people, not even Baldelli himself, believed the beaning was intentional. Furthermore, MLB rules dictate that when warnings have been issued (as Cuzzi had done prior to the start of the game), the manager of the ejected pitcher’s team must also be thrown out, something Cuzzi failed to do.
(…)
A year earlier, Cuzzi was severely criticized by then-Blue Jays slugger Carlos Delgado, after Delgado was called out on strikes with the June 14 game against the Chicago Cubs on the line. Delgado, who thought the pitch was nearly a foot outside, later referred to Cuzzi as “amateurish” and said it was the “worst call I’ve seen in a long, long time.”
(..)
Cuzzi was once again mired in controversy when White Sox manager Ozzie Guillén claimed Cuzzi had a vendetta against him and that “He don’t like me, I don’t like him.”3 Guillen’s comments were in regard to Cuzzi ejecting him after arguing balls and strikes, the second time in as many years Cuzzi has ejected Guillen for said offense.
