I agree, somewhat...but I think it also depends on the catcher and pitcher.
Last year, I felt that Cooper challenged the best catchers, as well as lefthanded pitchers, when it wasn’t a good percentage….even with good runners.

Tejada strikes out
inevitably, someone is going to say that situational hitting is killing the Astros. To some degree, that’s true. But I’d say it’s more true that the Astros NEED to capitalize on these situations only because they get so few of them.

I'd like a better look
but I think pudge got it when it was barely fair.
I think it’s not where the player’s BODY was when he touches it in fair territory, but where the ball is when it’s touched. Once he touches it anywhere in fair territory, it’s a fair ball.

weird conundrum
I’ve had this feeling a couple times already this season when Michaels or whoever that utility infielder comes up to pinch hit.
I miss Orlando Palmeiro.
It’s completely irrational and I don’t want him back, but there’s this thought when Jason Michaels is announced as the pinch hitter and you just say, “who?”. I’m actually all in favor of cheap(er) guys who can play in favor of overpriced veterans, but I have to admit, there’s something there. I imagine that’s one reason managers/GM’s hang on to those type guys as much as they do.
anyway, the game is depressing so I thought I’d throw that out and let y’all tear it apart
by lnewcomer on Apr 11, 2009 5:16 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Palmeiro was a good reserve player for a number of years as an Astros.
But the Astros kept him for too long….after he had outlived his usefulness. The Astros did the same with Jose Vizcaino…and I was a big fan of Viz. But he was a great role player for several years, then fell off a cliff.
