Carlos Zambrano and Rich Harden. Now that's a pair of Aces.
that would make the third thread a good time.

hopefully they’ll wait him out and score some runs

I'm not Theriot's biggest fan,
but he has definitely improved at charging the ball and throwing on the run.

There’s no way that a guy like Hawkins is going to give the Astros the seven or so marginal wins they need to get back into contention. Why are they bothering?
They are in terrible shape.
They are old, expensive, bad and have a barren farm system.

Remember, you're looking at it from an odd angle.
Because of paralax, you physically cannot be 100% of the location of any pitch you see on TV. So border calls can look funny and yet be correct.
it looked lower than
the pitch that Lou yelled about earlier in the game.

Colin,
How are “infield hits” defined? Don’t get to the grass? Fielded by an IF?
I wonder about bloopers that land in the OF grass, but are picked up by the SS…
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
I don't think that "infield hit" is an official category.
Is it showing up in Gameday as an infield hit, or is it just something you heard Len say?
It shows up in the Press Pass game notes. I've also heard various announcers reference it.
Are bunt hits counted? Because some announcers differentiate between infield hits (which includes bunts) and bunt hits.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Bunt hits are tracked seperately, I'm pretty sure.
Anything that isn’t defined in the rules for the official scorer is at the discretion of the individual data provider, and most of the time Elias Sports Bureau seems to think that the point of having information is to keep the common people from having it. So I don’t know how they figure it.

Me neither
The DPs are frustrating, but he’s a very good hitter. He had an OPS of above 900 last year, and he could do it again this year.

Hmm
Just an off-topic thought that I have mentioned before, but is no secret…
Watching highlights of other games, that Adam Dunn does not get cheated on his swings. He hits some dadgum bombs.
And now, back to the Brewer thrashing…

This team just totally
turned things around. Usually the pitching will be great and the offense not so great or the offense is great and the pitching is suspect but this seires both have been fantastic. Hope it stays this way.
Carlos Zambrano and Rich Harden. Now that's a pair of Aces.
