Wednesday's UMPS... and other various stuff...

CTG Regular
I really like this DirecTV K-Zone channel. I was able to see virtually all of the important plays last night in all the games - and with my network of friends who were watching different games, get a good feel about a lot of things...

Notes and observations from Tuesday...

Pitt/STL - Didn't see any of this one but evidently I had the right side. Had these 2 been able to scratch out one more run it woulda been a huge day for me.

SD/CHC - Shorty tells me that this game could have and should have easily been more high-scoring; I believe the Pads left about 17 men on base.

ATL/WASH - Chipper's homer in the 9th gave the Brave RL people the cash but the Senators had plenty of opportunities to get the cash here outright. Soriano has better stuff than anyone on Atlanta's staff, period. He should be the closer - not Wickman - and NOW. Dmitri Young had one of the best at-bats I've seen all year. He took the 13th pitch, another fastball about 96 at the letters, down the left field line before it was hauled in near the foul pole.

This goes to show something else - the scouting in baseball is either much better now than what it was, or players are actually listening. All of these shifts put into effect for certain players are really paying off. THis time, they weren't shifting Young to hit it the opposite way because he does that all the time, though. They were doing it because Soriano throws hard and you're just not gonna pull the ball on him very often.

NYM/PHI - Mets are an explosive bunch with the best 1-7 offense in baseball. This game shoulda went flying over, as men were left all over the bases in every inning. If Philly gets to Glav early, this result might have been far different.

MIL/CIN - A carbon copy, in reverse, of the opening game. THis time it was the Brewers who had all the problems on defense. The center-fielder looked lost - and not at times, but the entire fucking game. Put a tent under that circus out there. My God. If Hamilton plays every day (and he's a five-star player who has had about 20 at-bats, has 3-4 homers, 8 driven in, etc.)... then the Reds become much more dangerous offensively. Freel, Hamm, Dunner back in 3rd where he belongs, Griffey make up a fairly potent start to the lineup, and Conine has been hitting. If the wind is blowing out at GABP and the Reds are facing a righty, OVER is the only way to go - ever...

FLA/HOU - Was fairly lucky to get my Houston/U parlay as I saw Mitre left this one early. My God, can Derrek Lee hit the piss out of the ball. Astro offense, while far from potent, has to heat up at some point. Fish playing fairly disappointing ball the last week. D-Train to save the day tonight just in time, perhaps.

SFO/COL - Matt Cain is easily the most snakebit pitcher in baseball. He handcuffed the Rockies to three hits and no runs through seven. A bizarre eighth-inning rally was capped when Torrealba hit one that Linden (who had PR for Bonds in the eighth) couldn't track down a flyball tailing away from him and the bases emptied. The Giants left seven on base, including four in scoring position, so they had their chances again.

But games like last night's virtually cement my pre-season thoughts that they are headed right for the West cellar. THey are too old and if their bullpen can't hold leads, my God... not like they're going to rally much - once you get past Bonds, there just ain't much there...

Back in a bit with AL update....

LMFAO at Bill Hall..transformation looking shaky...

Dunner will hit third vs righties, second vs lefties..

Hamilton is going to play, and Freel back to utility roll..looks like Encarnacion's slow start will really bite him in the ass...but no way can u keep Hamilton's bat out of the lineup..
 
Yankee OVERS at home continue to look to be the only way to go. Still, there were only four runs scored in the final seven innings last night - looked like both teams wanted to get out of the cold once NYY went up 8-1 after playing HR Derby in the 2nd.

KC rallied but it was all for naught as the Tigers did what they've done for 180 games or so now - clawed their way back with a run in the seventh and another in the 8th. I'm still not convinced Jones should close over either of the two big black kids who pitch before him but Leyland seems to like his system. Poor Alex Gordon in an awful slump to start the year and he's not getting ANY breaks from the HP umps, either. Anything close is a strike. Guess all rookies gotta pay their dues...

Ridiculous price on the Jap last night and Chacin once again beat the BoSox. THis time he didn't get his average 10 runs of support and if it weren't for Montague there I woulda had my Tor/U parlay. Impressive indeed.

Tampa did all their damage in one inning off the O's. Didn't see much of this one but evidently Trachsel stopped hitting his spots and then you had Rays running around the bases all inning - a staple of this team lol...

Sammy hit one out last night in Chicago, with a two or three-hop move out of the batter's box on his way to rounding the bases. That one put it out of reach. Give Tejeda credit for bouncing back here; I was all over the ChiSox early but missed my price so had to pass. Surprising that they didn't get more help from that pen, which I thought wasn't supposed to be so bad.

Gaudin allowed just four Anaheim hits in a career-high 7 2/3 innings, allowing an RBI double to Maicer Izturis in the eighth for the Angels' lone run. Bobby Crosby's three-run jack in the fourth sealed the fate of young Weaver, and Anaheim has scored only six runs in its last five games - which it has lost all of... and held a short team meeting afterward.

Tough to say if an 11-2 game really could have been decided differently on one pitch, but Jeff Weaver got the short end of the stick from the HP ump in the 5th. It was still just 3-1 with the bases loaded for Torii. One pitch after Weaver thought he had struck out Hunter to end the inning on a close 0-2 pitch, Hunter tagged a looping, 78 mph slider to make it 7-1. Ballgame. Hunter hurt himself later, but might still play tonight.

Excellent post CKRex! Very informative. I watched the entire Angel Game and they look old and hurting for some reason! I don't see them winning a game until they get back home. I believe the BoSox series told the squad that they are very far from a contender!

As for the BoSox game....that was a very horrible spot for Dice-K. Hey Bostojn fans he's good, but will not go undefeated!

GL today
Budha
 
GL today Rex..

I cant agree more about Bill Hall in CF, I said this earlier this yr I think during the Dodgers series when I watched the game, he just looks lost out there. I saw the miscommunication last night, Hardy had that ball all lined up.
 
Shorty: Can't feel any worse than I did the last two days. Just took some more TheraFlu; if I am lucky I will be able to get off that shit today....

Pounding Gatorades right and left to stay hydrated....

If you want to go ahead and post ump/wind info that we already know of today in here, feel free....
 
OK bud...

Over ump, although 0-3 O/U this season.

Wind/Weather: 8mph In From LF, Cloudy 45 degrees

Notables out of the lineup:

Tigers sitting Ordonez and Irod...

Figures...I was liking the OVER. Any thoughts here Rex? Not really liking this game at all now.
 
Really liking the "OVER" in the opener today at Comerica. Royals looking to salvage a game in Detroit and they go with their "ace"...

Yes, all the Detroit pitchers have good records vs. KC the last two years, but Bondy was just 1-6 in day games last year with a 5.70 ERA (good work here SportNut)... He struck out eight in six innings earlier this season at Royals Stadium; his other day game, he also went six innings.

Meche has gone at least six innings in all three of his 2007 starts, rebounding in Baltimore after allowing six runs in seven innings in a home loss to Detroit on April 7. Meche is 5-4 with a 4.33 ERA in his career vs. the Tigers. Meche's career ERA is 1.10 LOVER in day games.

CRAWFORD (0-3 O/U in 2007) is one of the bigger "OVER" umpires there is. Gotta think with the wind blowing out a little today that OVER warrants a fairly strong look and the KC/OVER parlay also got my money, paying a little more than 4-to-1...
 
Shit, Short... Obviously seeing these lineup changes and the wind blowing "IN" and not "OUT" hurts me a little. But I still see good value in KC - and assuming Meche doesn't get through the seventh, that still gives DET seven-to-nine outs to get some runs. The Tigers won't quit and they know beating the KC's of the world consistently could give them an edge in a tight AL Central. I forsee KC getting on Bondy, maybe 5-1, then having to hope to scratch out 3 more runs in the last 3-4 inns....
 
Fucking cable is out! I'm not able to make playz since i'm on my crackberry. Tech won't be here until 2-4 cst.....

GL on your play

Hopefully I'll be up & running to catch the late games.

Good stuff and thank for the citation(sp?).


Two quickies...I like the comment about scouting what I dont get though is with the wealth of info available how these organizations do not properly implement it. An example is how you shape your roster. Reds perfect example. I understand Hamilton was a flier basically came out of nowhere but your right they need to find him atbats. Here's the problem with that. The Reds are way to LH...u cant have your 3 best hitters swinging from the LH side especially when Hamiltyon is a rookie , Griffey is in steady decline vs LH an dDUnn is a hacker who you know will struggle with tough LH. How can you not have some RH bats ?? They had Kearns and dealt him fine I dont mind the deal for some arms . Why didnt they further address the situation in the winter. They grabbed Conine but he is past his prime and not really a power hitter..serviceable YES. Something as minor as NYY grabbing Josh Phelps flies under the radar but he can be a beast vs LHP. That was Cincys flaw to balance out the lineup cause Freel and Phillips are decent and Encarnacion has upside. Actually beyond kerans was Aurilia who filled the role nicely. Now they are so unbalanced and going to struggle vs LHP....you take a team that could win mid 80's and make them a mid 70 to high 70's team especially with a lot of LHSP in the NL.....

The WSox pen is severly overrated cause they have power arms with inconsistent track records. Jenks , MAcDougal, thornton , Sisco all hard throwers with high ceilings have never found consistency in the majors and I would say they need two or three solid season strung together before I felt they were the real deal. Talent wise they are but not ML consistency wise...Really Aarsdama is the exact same as the previous mentioned exception he is turning into this seasons Bobby Jenks. By the way this wa Ken Williams plan to assemble a pen of hard throwing relievers...and really he has a bunch of failed super top prospects out there if you go back 3 years and read the reports on what these guys were supposed to be..

Of note @ DET , I was hestitant to play an UNDER based on all the facts we assembled. Then with Pudge and Maggs resting and the wind blowing in I had to nibble on the UNDER 8 when I saw ++ money...parlayed it with KC as well...Bondermans numbers were crap in day starts but if you translate them ...5.70 ERA = equals really 4runs in 6 1/3 innings...DET's pen was capable of keeping KC off the board the rest of the way...so I thought 4 runs was highly probable as a ceiling for KC....but need some prayers for KC to pull it off here...

I like the UMP angles but I still dont think they dictate plays as much . Its more about how they fit into the scenario except for the rare UMPS who are clearly biased to a small strike zone and overs..year to year these guys tend to be inconsistent...

Feel better and GL the rest of the day...like the non gambling baseball chatter in your threads...Didnt know that about Hunters GS it what is but it probably would have turned out different if it was strike three...its amazing how the missed 3rd strike so often results in HR...:drink:

Ump pretty much all over the map, although 0-3 O/U this season

Notables out of the lineup:

O's: no Huff, Gibbons or Hernandez

Drays: no Iwamura (I like this guy), Navarro

Really liking the UNDER 4 1st 5 innings
 
Good shit fellas...

One more note on the Reds; that Zipstar suggested last night, and I thought it was a good one - was to trade Dunn now, while his value is high. He seems to be popular in town, though, so I doubt they will trade him and that power stroke... but if so, then you could play Encarnacion every day and that balances the lineup - and maybe you add an arm for Dunner.

As I said earlier, I am unimpressed with Jones. The Royals were the right side today, despite being down 3-1 going into the 9th.... Bondy dealt with them all day but the only inning Detroit even got guys on base it seemed, was the one where they got all three runs... THat came on Meche's biggest mistake - the leadoff walk.... THen a Granderson swinging bunt, Gordon's throw to right field and Monroe's clutch 2-rbi hit to left and there you have it, three unearned runs....

Meche was great today - but Detroit is swinging the bats like shit, plain and simple. Until they hit it better there is no way they can be any kind of 2-dollar favorite, no matter how good their pitcher is.

Durbin goes Friday against the rookie for Chicago, Danks, who has yet to receive a run in support while on the mound. Depending on wind and UMPS, I will certainly be on the ChiSox if they are any kind of 'dog' and lean to "OVER" too...

By the way, the OVER was absolutely the wrong side in this game. If it woulda fell 8 or 9 that would have been a bad beat for the UNDER people.
 
Time to throw on the camo and hop in the bushes, as they should be emerging shortly...

In fact, DRAKE is the first one to pop out; he'll be working the Mets/Florida game...
 
Drake's first two games this year were in AL parks and they never sniffed the total. IN fact, a total of 9 runs have been scored in those games (in Arlington and Oakland)...

He was 16-13 O/U last year and 48-40 coming into this season since the start of 2004.
 
pOncinO has 1 over and 2 unders to his credit but make no mistake, he's an "OVER" guy... His 2 unders were aided by strong performance by home pitchers in their debuts (Cabrera on Opening Day in BAL and Byrd who has yet to allow a run in CLE (4 2/3 in opener and then last week in the one that counted)...

Wind is also blowing OUT in Miami as well... Checking Cincy winds as we speak...
 
Looks like they are deciding to bang the shit out of this Boston/Toronto UNDER now as we speak. No surprise, considering Wakefield never gets any run support. As for me, even though Ohka sucked last time he offers value here. Toronto owns the BoSox since the start of 2005 and Wakefield's knuckler usually doesn't have the same effect indoors...
 
I am on that OVER in D.C. OVER UMP and two garbage pitchers... I'll take a stab at it, and the weather is gonna actually be in the 50s at gametime for once, lol...
