Off Day NL West Thread 7/26

PrintCurrently the Phillies are in Colorado in the 7th and losing to Philadelphia 5-2 in the bottom of the 7th. A sweep of Colorado puts them 8 games behind the Padres and 5 games behind San Francisco in the NL Wild Card. Later tonight, the Giants play the Florida Marlins at 7:15. Barry Zito (8-5, 3.45) goes up against Ricky Nolasco (10-7, 4.50) Nolasco is 1-2 lifetime vs. San Fran with a 2.05 ERA with a .215 opponent batting average. Unfortunately, Zito has has the Marlins no. - he's 5-0 lifetime against Florida with a 2.15 ERA, and the teams opposing hitters are batting below the mendoza line of .197. Here's hoping the Marlins break this syle of domince by Zito and the Phillies knock the Rox down another notch.
Go Phillies and Marlins!

Phillies about to win over the Rockies. Purple Dinosaurs will be 8 (!) games back in the NL West race. What a difference 2 weeks makes.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
If we somehow sweep the Dodgers
we can put them 9 games back with 62 left to go. The Rockies would have to sweep the Bucs to keep pace. Still a lot of games left but it’s getting closer and closer to a two team sprint to the finish between the Pads and Giants.

That's a big "IF"
If the Padres do sweep the Dodgers and either split of win the series at Chavez Ravine, then it’ll be safe to say that the Dodgers are out of the picture.
I’m still not counting out the Rockies, eventhough they were swept by the Phillies.
The NL Wild Card between the Giants, Phillies, Reds, Rockies could be a photo-finish.

Apparently the Marlins make Giants fans irritated with the Padres
When I look at the Marlins roster, it just makes me irritated at the Padres. Seriously.

FTW. Also For The Confusion.
Marlins suck at it. We rock at it. Also, Bullpen FTW. The Marlins bullpen is Leo Nunez and a bunch of nobodies (sorry Clay).
Also, our team OBP at Petco Park is .342. So, the fact that we only have one hitter with an OBP over .330 on the season doesn’t seen to hurt us too bad at home.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
That is a shocker
Ubaldo struggling after the All-Star Break…their offense isn’t firing on all cylinders…Troy is still on the DL…I don’t think they’re compltely screwed, but they’re in a deep hole right now, and won’t help matters if the Padres win the series against the Dodgers.

So Jayson Werth nearly became a Padre today.
And could still before Saturday. Someone’s gonna have to be on standby to talk Dex down if that happens.

I don't know what he's talking about either
A bunch of internet rumors cropped up because Werth wasn’t in the lineup today and then he came into the game later on. I hardly count that as “nearly became a Padre today.”

There were some rumors
the Padres made a deal to send two top prospects to Philadelphia in exchange for Jayson Werth. Darren Smith dismissed the rumors within the first ten minutes of opeing his show.

Am I in the minority when I say that if we shed two top prospects then we better get a player with much more than half a season of team control left on their contract?

Well if that's true, Werth being placed in the game later could have been the product of a failed trade.

And as much as we all hate Werth
He would be the solid protection that Adrian needs at cleanup. Plus, the Philies want to make a play for Oswalt and they may have to dump Werth’s 2010 salary of $7 million+ to make t happen.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
The Phillies' salary is $138 million
They’re closing in on the Braves in the East, and getting Oswalt would put them over the top.
I think they’d be willing to eat most of his contract if it assured them that Oswalt would be playing in a Phillies uniform.

How would eating his contract help them get Oswalt?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Oswalt probably wants his $16 million contract picked up through 2012
If the Phillies were to agree to those terms, someone in the clubhouse would have to take a paycut, and since Werth is a free agent in the offseason, the thinking may be to send him off now and get some prospects for him.

Why not keep Werth and try to win now?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Probably becasue the Phillies
need a proven arm in the rotation. Hamels has struggled this year and last year, Halliday is the only person in the rotation that has shown some sort of consistency despite the 11-8 record, and between Joe Blanton and Kyle Kendrik, their combined ERA is over 5. something you probably don’t want as you’re trying to make a playoff run. Plus, the thinking would be that they’re putting their fatih in Polanco, Rollins, Ibanez and Victorino, along with your star slugger Howard, that they will help carry your team to a potential Wild Card berth.

A word on Lidge
Brad Lidge had his best seasons in 2006 and in 2007. The last two starts, he had almost blown back-to-back save opportunites against the Rockies. If i’m the Phillies GM, and i’m trying to trade Werth, I’d ask for a reliver that could become an effective closer in place for Lidge.

Lidge's best seasons
Were 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008. Not that it changes what you are saying, but its just statistically more accurate. I’m not sure why you think 2006 and 2007 were better.

Come to think of it, I’m not sure how I’ve ever been able to handle the offseason. I don’t remember those months very well. They’re all fuzzy to me.

Speaking of Merriman
Why was he at the NFL meeting in Entourage last night?
Players cannot own a team and I know that he didn’t have the $200 million that Ari was asking for from everyone. I think he has always wanted to be on the show and they finally let him get some facetime, but it was a stupid role. Now maybe if he ends up getting a team and then needs a player he could call on Merriman to show up and play a decent role. Also Merriman said something about “I’m a free agent durr…” I’m starting to hate that guy.

The NBA might be more interesting if it had that
But, instead its fully of a bunch of lazy millionaires that refuse to play defense, can’t dribble very well, don’t know how to shoot except for when they are two feet away from the basket.
Also, any given shot, no matter how crazy means next to nothing. Its still worth two points and barely improves your chance of winning. You might as well televise some street hoops in NYC if you want to see that type of craziness.
I don’t get why they even have a regular season. They should just play the thing like the World Cup or Champions League in soccer so that its a playoff from start to finish.

Dan Haren getting knocked around....
….just because he’s in new uniform doesn’t mean he’s all of the sudden gonna know how to pitch well in the second half of the season.
He pitches about the same in the second half as in the first.
The only difference is his luck on balls in play.

Are you talking about the "It's time we stop using BABIP" article?
If so, that was about for hitters, not pitchers. It’s still a decent measure of luck for pitchers, because they don’t have control over their BABIP beyond ground ball vs fly ball.

I think the same criticisms can be used for pitchers too
Like sinker pitchers get a lot more grounders and some of those are going to be hits even though that’s what they were trying to do.
by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Jul 26, 2010 7:53 PM PDT up reply actions
Which is why I said groundball vs flyball is within their control.
But historically you see wild variations in BABIP from the same pitcher even if their batted ball profile stays the same.

Well I would think ground ball pitchers would have a much higher babip than flyball pitchers
So you’d have to compare flyball and groundball pitcher’s babips separately against each other.
by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Jul 26, 2010 7:58 PM PDT up reply actions
Peavy from 2004-2007 is a good example of what I'm talking about.
In 2004 his GB% was 42.4% and BABIP was .310. Then in 2005 he got more ground balls, 44%, yet his BABIP dropped to .288, despite a LD% that was essentially the same, rose actually from 20.4% to 20.5%. Then in 2006, his GB% went way down to 38% and his LD% dropped to 18.4%, yet his BABIP went back up .316.Then in 2007 the GB rate went back up to 44%, yet the BABIP dropped back down to .286.
We know that ground balls and line drives go for hits at a higher rate than fly balls, so the fact that his BABIP did opposite of what it should have done shows the influence of luck. You can measure xBABIP based on batted ball profile, and if there are significant differences between the pitcher’s xBABIP and his actual BABIP, that’s luck involved.

Pitchers who dominate the three two outcomes
will have low ERAs. Just as Pitchers who walk the world and give up home runs will have ERAs that go through the roof. Where ERA falls apart is defining the middle ground.
I still think
the Rangers pretty much have the AL West locked up.

Flags fly forever.
Guestimating that Hairston will be worth like 0.6 WAR or so, you’re looking at a significant upgrade. Considering that he’s usually a good defender and his UZR this year seems out of line with his true talent, we could probably put him in LF and see no loss in defense and a significant upgrade on offense.
Plus he’ll be a Type A FA, so we’d get a pair of draft picks as compensation when he walks at the end of the season. That would help make up for him being only a rental.

Batting average and RBIs aren't good measure of offensive capability.
His wRC+ is 106 and he’s been worth 1.1 WAR on the year.
Scot Hairston’s wRC+ is 103 and he’s been worth 1.0 WAR on the year.
At best, if Podsednik continued his current pace he’d give us like 0.1 wins more than Hairston, and we’d have to give up something to get him.
