Once you hit the dirt to make a play... Standing up and throwing would be considered an extroidanary effort to continue on make the out.

 

If that's an error... He would have been best for Carroll to just hold the ball and don't try.

 

Errors shouldn't be used to discourage effort.

Especially since he and Morneau actually made the play. Error on the Ump.

You woulda had to.

 

Nah, she's always been a great kid. Just a little lippy in her mid teens, but that's expected. It sure was fun coaching her until she quit playing softball though.

Well, congrats...you must be pretty proud. Not every parent who gets to watch their kid play on a national team.

Thanks, I am. Hell I almost cried when I saw her in Maroon and Gold for the first time.

According to BRef, that's only the 11th time all season Mauer has put a 1-0 or 2-0 pitch in play the entire 2013 season to date.

 

That's a pretty amazing thing, IMO.

And he just missed it.

You know, I want to blame Pelfrey for everything that goes wrong in his starts, but his stats aren't always historically dreadful (just really bad). He's had some decent starts, though they haven't been long starts. It's just the sense of impending doom, that everything could fall off a cliff in a heartbeat, combined with the sense that even his outs are hard-hit balls.

 

I also like Jamey Carroll. That doesn't prevent me from hoping that when Plouffe comes back from Rochester he brings Gibson (or, honestly, any other pitcher) with him, and both Pelfrey and Carroll head off toward the horizon.

Carroll's days of being able to play the left side of the infield are rapidly coming to a close, IMO. His arm has gotten pretty weak. The one time they tried him at SS this year it was embarrassing.

That vesting option on Carroll might keep him on the bench later this season.

If he had pitched like he had the past few games... He'd be secure... The problem is that he didn't and now he's got Gibson on his tail.

I just can't imagine a future for the team that features Carroll and Pelfrey, and I'd rather give young guys a chance. I'm not quite there yet on Willingham, partly because we'd be selling low. I don't think the market for C&P is much anyway. Nice guys, but we gotta look toward the future. Especially if Pelf is going to keep killing the bullpen with these 5+ inning starts.
