Kevin Brown could pitch, though.  Let's see Joe Cowley, Ken Howell and Omar Daal do that!

omar daal was actually acquired in the curt schilling trade!

just for a refresher, that trade was: nelson figueroa, daal, travis lee and liquor sweat vicente padilla for a borderline hall of fame pitcher at age 34. yikes.

I'm reading the Macho Row book (good read) and just read this chapter yesterday.

That was a great clip.  Damn, haven't thought about those guys in years, Pete Incaviglia, Hollins, Eisenreich.

[QB Eagles]

The whole pitching staff finally has as many wins as Steve Carlton had in 1972.

But that book macho row on amazon

You won't regret it. A great flashback

lol wait until you get to the chapter about moneyball

the book is ok...not a ton of fresh stuff but he scoured every last ounce of information. a few minor inaccuracies here and there. did not need to rehash play by play of the nlcs and world series. we know what happened. we can watch the games on youtube. tell me something i dont know.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I read it today and thought of you

And let's be clear...I don't hate walks and high OBP. I hate the continued new stats made up. farg yo UZR and xFIP shtein

[MDS]

i hate things i dont understand too

[Geowhizzer]

Nola's been looking good since coming back from the injury.  Hope he can build on that.

[MDS]

Amazing.

hoskins ops by month: 1.063-1.040-.928-.522. still should be up for joseph

cuzzo has 304 at bats and 108 strikeouts. 19 homers though!

alfaro: 689 ops. 86 k. 15 bb. 6 hr. he stinks.

jp: last 3 games - 3/11. 2 homers. 2 walks. 2 strikeouts. obp at 328. there might be some hope here. hes still just 22.

kingery: 311/313/935. 4 hr. 3 sb. this is great. but here's your issue: 13 k, 1 bb in 45 ab. this needs to be much better.

therrien: last 8.1 innings: 0 runs, 8 hits, 8 k. overall: 17.2 innings, 16 k, 1.02 whip. hes not far away
