Bogusevic - 18 rbi in 200 plus abs. He is a huge drag on the offense. He needs to go to OKC permanently.

Jeez, pretty damn harsh.  I saw it.  He said something about not wanting to comment on batting eight, but "the farthest boundary of stupidity"?

I love his story, I am amazed at what a great athlete he is, love that arm in RF, but he has been almost relentlessly stinky at the plate this year. There's no way around it.

Headley (Lamarr) grounds out 6-3 to end a quick top of the first. Six righthanded batters and three switchhitters in the Friars lineup tonight.

I too want to believe in Bogusevic. But he's trying my patience. He's got very little to show for the number of AB's that he's had. He's given us way too many 4-3's.

Rrrrrreal fucking smooth play there.

Wandy fields a bunt up the 1B line, elects to not go home even though that was the play, so he pirouettes to throw to first but...no one is covering. Fine work.

Go crazy, Schafer. Charge the mound.

I think I might think about plunking Shreefer if I was on the mound as well.  Dude whines more than anyone on the team about calls made against him...
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

Does U-Verse have mlb extra innings package like DirecTV?

Every cable company has extra innings.  Only the NFL has an exclusive carrier in DirecTV.

Folty gave up 12 hits and a BB including 2 doubles and a triple and gave up only 2 runs in 6 innings. That's tough to do.

That's what I heard as well.  Though I haven't seen anything noted, I'd guess they'll be signing/announcing Rd. 2 pick Nolan Fontana (Florida).  And if they've signed Fontana, they could very well also sign Rd. 7 pick Preston Tucker (also from Florida, which was eliminated from the College World Series last week).  HOU signed Rd. 8 pick Tyler Heineman (UCLA) over the weekend (or it was announced over the weekend by Brownie & on Astros.com), and they could be introducing him, but I'd wager $1 or so that it'll be Rd. 2 and Rd. 7 picks Fontana / Tucker.  That's my $0.02 anyway...

if i did the math, using osf's numbers, right, there is 1,012,430 left from the 11,177,700 to use plus whatever that cushion is. 

Per my math HOU has $942,500 (pre 5% cushion, which is $558,885) to sign Rd. 2 Fontana, Rd. 7 Tucker, and Rd. 8 Heineman (who has already been signed but I haven't seen bonus info on).  This puts HOU $193,400 over its slot allotments for the 8 (of 11) signed picks through Rds 1-10 ('signed picks' for this response does not include Heineman, since I don't have bonus info for him yet). 

So... in summary... HOU can spend up to $1.5M without pick penalty to sign Rd. 2 Fontana, Rd. 7 Tucker, and Rd. 8 Heineman.  I'd imagine that all 3 of those can be signed for less than the $942,500 that HOU has left within their total $11,177,700 bonus pool allotment.

The bigger question is whether HOU may still sign some of the rd 11-40 HS'ers still 'on the board' - primarily rd. 11 pick Hunter Virant (LHP) or rd. 26 pick C.J. Hinojosa (SS, local kid).  [And in case you're trying to do the math, only amounts >$100K count against the pool for draftees signed from the 11th-40th round.  E.g., Rd. 2 Fontana, Rd. 7 Tucker, and Rd. 8 Heineman were signed for a total of $1M, then HOU would have $600K to sign either Virant or Hinojosa ($100K plus up to $500K).  That said, its generally thought that Hinojosa is simply going to UT regardless of the offer, and that Virant probably isn't going to sign for $600K].

Bet you're sorry you asked now, eh?!?

IOW, we're not signing Virant.

Count me in the minority perhaps, but I've never been strongly in the 'Virant is a $1M-worthy' draftee.  He may very well be '$1M-worthy', but I'm not sold on it so far...

$870 if they'd gone to the AL.

$730M, but yes, I see what you're sayin'...  [Sorry, budgirl's "draftee math'esque" question has gotten 'math on my brain'...  It is 'attorney math' though, so who the hell knows if it is actually correct...].

Meanwhile, over in the CWS, South Carolina is down three in the bottom of the ninth but has the bases loaded with one out.

So how was the big riot?

You know, it rained like crazy most of the afternoon and by the time I made it down there all I saw was a handful of wet people wandering around. The storm, not at all unusual in its strength, did manage to knock out the runway lights at Tocumen and astoundingly they don't have any sort of generator or back-up plan for such an event. Between 7:30 and 8:30 they had to divert all incoming flights either to an old US air force base on the other side of the canal or to Cartagena Colombia. Apparently there was quite a stir in Cartagena when an AA flight from Miami landed since AA does not have service to Cartagena and everyone on the ground was wondering what the hell was going on.

Man, this was not a pretty game. At all.

NO, it wasn't. The loss is on Millsie. Why bring in the Angel of Doom in a close game? Millsie wants that hard thrower out there, but he's choking consistently in the clutch. It's like he's trying to shove a square peg into a round hole. The kid's not an eighth inning guy yet. Lyon, or better yet, Myers should have been out there. I'm not opposed to two inning saves.

Yeah, Lyon was SO effective. Wish we'dve gotten him in the game to walk the eventual winning run on base earlier!

I agree with you that Lyon shit the bed tonight. Both of the walks scored tonight. However, Lyon's been in that role before, unlike the Angel of Doom, who seems to find a way to lose close games when he gets in them. He's not 1-7 by accident. My point is that Millsie wants the kid to achieve, but he's just not doing it right now and should be treated just like Carpenter.
