Max Scherzer is absolutely blowing my mind.

Ya know what I love about those Cialis commercials?

They don’t use “men” or “Erectile Disfunction”, they use “guys” and “ED.” Makes it seem more normal, less of a big deal. E.g., ”...so for guys like me with ED…”

Very clever marketing.

Breakout year...kinda

Last season, he hit almost .300 after the first month. Not a surprise to us.

by Jim McLennan on Apr 29, 2008 11:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Probably

some of both. This is the consistency we drafted him for. He’ll probably never be a big HR guy, but he’s got potential for a very high OBP and some nice power.

Had to Do It
I’m just not convinced he is MENTALLY ready for the majors yet, despite the startling success he’s had. I’d rather get him a bit more polished and simply used to facing better hitters: four games above Double-A seems perilously rapid.

word of advice

Whenever people start speculating about people’s “mental states”, questioning a player’s composure on the mound or hitters who beat themselves up over bad at bats, just tune them out.

I do,

I just don’t think people can come to accurate conclusions about a player’s make-up through a t.v. screen.

This goes for my frustrated gripes about Byrnes, foulpole’s opinions that CoJack just doesn’t care enough, the fanbase’s decision to run BK Kim out of town in 2003 and people who think that Quentin just gets too down on himself and works himself into slumps by over-thinking.

True fact – we all don’t know jack #### about what’s going on in these player’s minds.

by dahlian on Apr 30, 2008 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

Generally agree...

Though if you saw Carlos Quentin’s at-bats last year, you didn’t need a weatherman to know which way HIS wind was blowing. And if 21 games was generally sufficient for players to reach the majors, we wouldn’t have five levels of minor-league ball…

by Jim McLennan on Apr 30, 2008 12:05 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

For college pitchers

with true star potential, 21games is sufficient to reach the majors.

See:
Lincecum, Tim
Prior, Mark
Street, Huston
Clemens, Roger
Cordero, Chad
Weaver, Jered

Okay, Weaver took 28 starts. I’m sure there’s more, but that’s just off the top of my head.

by dahlian on Apr 30, 2008 12:13 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The exception, not the rule...

Looking at our current rotation:
Webb = 72 games
Haren = 77 games
Davis = 106 games
Owings = 44 games
Johnson = ...I dunno, i don’t think they had minor-leagues. ;-)

I believe he pitched 17 games while he fought with the Union Army, before his wounding at the Battle of Gettysburg.

Of course,

but are you saying that there isn’t anything about Scherzer’s performance to date that’s exceptional.

Hell, usually nineteen year olds don’t go around starting in major league pennant chases, but sometimes there are special players that force the issue.

There are those who just have it, like those listed above. All those players were drafted as stars, starred in the minors, and had sucess in the majors. But for the other 98% of players, its a battle to make the show.

Burke up.

Bring on the heart attack.

I question the pitch hitting here

I didn’t even realize he was ph-ing for Snyder.

Burke quickly behind.

No.

Only Mark Reynolds has that kinda power.

In fact, Klingon Birds of Prey are actually powered by highly concentrated Reynolds.

Right

which is why he shouldn’t swing like that. Come on people, get with it!

While he’s there, could he start Max over Ed-is-Gon?

But, dude....

that was the 80s. The Dbacks didn’t exist, and Max was just a twinkle in Mr. and Mrs. Scherzers’ eye.

I like Burke as a utility guy

but I don’t think he’s capable of coming off the bench and hitting a 98 mph fastball.

Not a very long list for that one

Which makes the decision

to pull Snyder all the more puzzling.

Definately, especially for Burke.

He was pretty solid offensively

earlier in his short career, isn’t he?

Sort of,

he’s one of those great minor league players that has been constantly jerked around between defensive positions and starting roles.

The Astros never game him a starting job for any length of time. Now he’s on the precipice of could be and never-will be.

Surprise, Brynes has a walk-off HR!

Just kidding, he struck out.

Ah, well. A loss, but we can be pretty damn pleased with Scherzer’s debut. And tomorrow is another day…

Excellent

And thank you for the reminder- works nicely, since I’m going to a dinner tomorrow evening, I was worried I’d miss the whole game.

Sorry, I meant that as a joke

since it’s a common complaint from opposing fans when he pitches.

Concur

I too have always wanted to smash him in the back of a head with a snow shovel.

He just has no respect whatsoever for the unwritten rules of baseball.

Sadly, there is a very low number of snow shovels in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

If Jose Valverde were any good,

he would have beaned the Dbacks for swinging. You can’t let them do that.

You can lay this loss at the feet of O Hudson. What was he thinking when the slow roller was hit to third?

by kkenney on Apr 30, 2008 1:06 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

To his detriment

Drew didn’t make any moves to get closer to second either.

It's a team game

and there were lots of things that prevented a win.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

If EdGon doesn’t get pulled early, we don’t unleash Mad Max on the Astros. This is one loss that DEFINITELY stings less, thanks to Scherzer’s perfect debut.

There was a pretty big shift with O-Dawg playing deep and way over to the 1st base side. IMO, there is no way that that was O-Dawg’s fault. Either Drew should have been covering or Reynolds should have thrown that ball to 1st.
