leiberthal hit .267 with RISP and 2 outs.

that's awful for someone making 7 million dollars

leiberthal hit .267 with RISP and 2 outs.

that's awful for someone making 7 million dollars

compared to who?

RISP w/2 outs:
johnny estrada  = .200
LoDuca = .264
Piazza = .226
Ramon Hernández = .271

non catchers -
todd helton = .237
sean casey = .245

.267 is FAR from awful.

[SunMo]

ok, good to know that there are no problems at catcher.

[Wingspan]

never said that.

leiberthals liability is his defense, and calling. not his offense, that is obvious to anyone who pays attention to reality, and not what a few talk show hosts sqwak about.

way to be a parrot of the masses.

can i get a rehashed jim norton joke?

Arguing the merits of Mike Lieberthal is like arguing the merits of syphillis over gonorrhea.

He farging sucks ass, so please, shut the hell up about him.

PS: Bell is worse.  He's a gagger and should have been sent packing this winter, no questions asked.

[SunMo]

i'm not the parrott of any masses.  mike lieberthal sucks, i know this because i watch baseball and understand the game.  i don't care what stats you put out, i know that lieberthal sucks.

can i get a rehashed jim norton joke?

[Rome]

Do this, both of you...

The starting outfield had the following numbers last year (averaged per guy) I think these numbers stand up pretty well league wide. How about you guys and gals?

AB      Runs     AVG     Hits     2b   3B   HR     RBI   SB   BB    SO
576     86        .279    161     31    2    23      96    16   82   137

The SO's are high, but everything else is really strong.

Starting outfield is fine.  3B and pitching are the concerns.

And catcher. Don't forget catcher for chrissakes!

Speaking of catchers....read in the paper that Lieby is engaged. Wonder if that has something to do with NJ entering the same-sex marriage world?

Lieberthal is more of the master of the weak popup to second base.  He only had 35 Ks (in 392 ABs).

Darren Daulton is closing in on living in a padded room with a straight jacket...nut job

"I've been thrown in jail five or six times," Daulton says from his home in Tampa. "Nicole thinks I'm crazy. She blames everything on drugs and drinking. But I don't take drugs and I'm not a drunk. Nicole just doesn't understand metaphysics."

Neither do some of Daulton's buddies. "When I share my thoughts and experiences with them, I tell them there's absolutely no way their minds can comprehend what I'm trying to relate," he says. "My friends are limited to the five senses."

Daulton isn't. When he says he's attuned to Higher Powers, he's not channeling Bud Selig. "There is no good or bad," he says, explicating the Dutch Theory of Being. "We're all the same, but we're all different. The higher we ascend, the more the same we are."

At 44, Daulton is not nearly the same guy he was at 24 or even 34. "I didn't have my first out-of-body experience until I was 35," he says. Curiously, the epiphany occurred at one of baseball's holiest shrines -- Wrigley Field. "I hit a line-drive just inside the third base line to help win a game," he recalls. "The strange thing was I didn't hit that ball. I never hit balls inside the third base line!"

He left the ballpark in tears. "I told my wife, 'It wasn't me who swung that bat! It wasn't me!'" he says. "She thought I was Looney Tunes." She's not alone.

"Sure. A rosin bag is just a mirage of innumerable particles constantly speeding up or slowing down. But the Fourth and Fifth Dimensions remain unseen by most people. Their vibrations are at a lower frequency." Whether those vibrations are "good" is perhaps something only the Beach Boys can divine

What....the...farg.

Get this guy some lithium, torazine and any other psych pill cocktail.

[Seabiscuit36]

Give him a beer. 

But to be serious he's friggin lost it, my money is on the roids. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

DOn't know what it was, but he's certifiable.

Just think if he had gotten the managers job a few years back. He'd have the team  wearing tinfoil hats.

[MDS]

He's still better than Lieberthal.

Steve Carlton suffered a similar meltdown roughly a decade ago. Guess they ate a lot of paint chips when they were kids.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Man, Tom Gordon is short.
