I have to agree with Aaron Gleeman that Nyjer Morgan doesn’t have much of a future with the Washington Nationals.
Freddy Garcia left the White Sox/Indians game after four innings. Freddy Garcia has been pulled after 4 innings. He talked with Ozzie after he pitched the 4th and said he couldn’t continue. Tony Pena is in. Garcia showed good control this year, but otherwise hasn’t pitched that well, giving up lots of hits and home [...]
I’ve added batter facing pitcher to the pitching logs section of the Day by Day Database.
The California attorney general is now looking into the Dodgers charity: The attorney general’s office is investigating the compensation the Dodgers Dream Foundation made to club executive Howard Sunkin, who is an advisor / lobbyist / assistant for Frank McCourt. The investigation centers on the $400,000 in salary Sunkin received from the charitable foundation in [...]
The west offers a number of good games today, two of them early. The Phillies and Dodgers send Roy Oswalt and Clayton Kershaw to the mound. Since joining the Phillies, opponents are posting a .212/.266/.336 slash line against Roy, helping him to a 2.18 ERA with the Phillies. He’s allowed one run and one walk [...]
The duel between Dan Haren and Felix Hernandez materialized Tuesday night as both pitched seven scoreless innings. Both struck out eight batters, Haren allowing seven hits and two walks, Hernandez three hits and three walks. All three of Hernandez’s hits went for singles. The bullpens did not fare that well as Brandon League gave up [...]
Mark Reynolds is only hitting .220 against the Padres this season, but the Arizona third baseman is still doing a lot of damage. He’s drawn as many walks as hits, putting his OBP against the Padres at .361. Six of his 11 hits were home runs, giving him a .580 slugging percentage. That’s helped him [...]
The Texas Rangers traded Joaquin Arias to the Mets for Jeff Francoeur. I love this reaction to the trade: It doesn’t seem like a good trade on its face. Do the Mets really need another middling utility infielder? Yes, the Mets have too many outfielders at the moment, but couldn’t the Mets get a better [...]
The Evil Player program selected Nick Evans as Wednesday’s Evil Player. Evans is so evil, that the Mets only gave his two major league at bats this season, despite a .300/.371/.540 minor league slash line this season. Maybe now that the truly evil Jeff Francoeur is gone, Evans will get a chance to play more.
The Royals win a wild game with Texas 10-9, breaking the tie in the bottom of the ninth on an unusual play. Alexi Ogando came in to face Yuniesky Betancourt with men on first and third and two out. Ogando did not try to throw a strike to Betancourt, who has walked 12 times this [...]
The Detroit Tigers blew a 3-2 lead over the Twins in the bottom of the seventh, with the following sequence of events; walk, sacrifice, hit by pitch, hit by pitch, walk. Phil Coke was responsible for the first three batters reaching, then Ryan Perry finished the wildness. When Perry put a ball over the plate, [...]
Wandy Rodriguez struck over five Cardinals over seven innings as he allowed two hits as part of a 3-0 shutout of St. Louis. That marks consecutive 3-0 shutouts by Houston over St. Louis, and the Cardinals are hitting just .223 since they started this 1-7 skid. It should be fairly difficult to shutout a team [...]
Jordan Zimmermann showed off his new arm Tuesday night. In his second start back from Tommy John surgery, Zimmermann allowed one hit over six innings, walking none and striking out nine. If Strasburg’s surgery on Friday goes as well, Washington could be looking at a pretty scary rotation in 2012. Unfortunately for Zimmermann, Anibal Sanchez [...]
