Only thing I can figure is that you could watch tape, see that he selected '2' for instance and then moved expecting, i dunno, a curveball and then the pitch ended up a sinker. And so he looked crossed up because he didn't realize he'd called for the pitcher to throw a sinker instead of a curve.

It could also explain some of the baffling pitch selection issues/questions we were seeing when none of us could figure out why he was calling some of the pitches he was.

Maybe he WASN'T calling those - he just didn't realize what it was he WAS calling. Don't get me wrong - that's not any better at all - but it's an answer I suppose.

Mr Dewitt, we really need this software for scouting but I think we can get away with only buying one license and everyone sharing it. It's going to be great.

The idea of DeWitt having a pirated version of Windows XP w/ a sticky note on the CD with the 'office password' on it rings just a little too close to the truth...

Password is “Fredbird”.

No matter how bad it is or gets, Mo ain’t going anywhere

“We thought at this point we would obviously be much better than we’ve been. We haven’t played well in the first half to get up where we thought we would be. It’s surprising. Not only did we feel like we had a very competitive club, and I think third parties thought so, too. We were right up there at the top of our division. And it hasn’t worked out that way.

I’d like to see the team have a very strong second half and play up to its capabilities. There is a lot of talent on the Cardinals.

I think the trade deadline always activates teams to look to finish strong or build to the future. However you chose to look at it, it is an opportunity. What ways do we think we can improve our club?

I do think we have the right leadership in place. We’ve had a good run of success over the years with the current leadership group, and we’re going to work hard to continue that.”

- St. Louis Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr.

Billy, this is Tommy Pham. With his blend of power and speed and his redassed behavior in the clubhouse, he was one of the most undervalued players in all of baseball. His defect is that he has a degenerative eye condition, and a tendency to slap a bitch. I believe that if you are a stupid mother****er, you could trade him for two negative WAR relievers, and an idiot OF that accumulates nearly as many broken bones in his hand from punching televisions as he does major league homers.

I'd be pissed if i actually paid money for MLB.tv, sice they randomly like to black out games and move them to AppleTV for arbitrary reasons.

I just saw Motter was back up and all is saved.

The Yankees traded with us successfully before. Surely they have top shelf players that are ready next year. They need pitching. How about…..
Montgomery
Hicks
Flaherty

What can we get for them?

I’m prepared for some half measures that are much too focused on the shorter term with some “we were almost there…if you only knew” reports sprinkled in. Hoping it’s something different but not expecting Mo to deviate from his norm.

Didn't we get Montgomery from them for Bader?
