Skip to comments.F1 - GP (General Purpose)
Posted on 08/05/2009 7:57:45 PM PDT by Chode
This will be a general purpose thread for F1 news and pings that really don't require a thread of their own.
These are still "shake down" numbers. I'll wait to see what the engineers come up with today after they digest the data and make adjustments.
Lower nose for crashing into other cars, noses were getting too high and may not of impacted the other car, but something higher such as the driver.
Most F1 teams went with a 'high' chassis, now the F1 has nose heigth regulations for 2012. McLaren had a low chassis thus does not have
the same distance to drop their nose to meet regulations.
Racing center displays historic McLaren
WATKINS GLENA McLaren M23 with one of the longest and most illustrious histories of the series is now on display at the International Motor Racing Research Center. Hosting this spectacular car is a fitting cap to the Centers 2011 yearlong celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first Formula One race at Watkins Glen. It will be on display through April. Owned by Governing Council member Gregory G. Galdi, the M23/09 took the checkered flag as winner in its very first outing, in the Argentinian Grand Prix in January 1975 with Emerson Fittipaldi at the helm. In July of that year, Fittipaldi drove the car to victory in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The M23/09 competed in 25 Grand Prix races - 29 races overall - and had podium finishes in the hands of Fittipaldi, James Hunt and Jochen Mass. It has had only two owners: McLaren executive Leo Wybrott and Galdi. A full 25 years from its last race, the car had been residing in the Brooklands Museum. With Mass at the wheel, the car finished fourth at the 1976 U.S. Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, its only running at the Glen. The cars most recent appearance at Watkins Glen was in a vintage event in 2006. Read More ...
I think they have an App for that.

Gran Prix: The Killer Years .. Tonight March 4 .. 8 PM Eastern
Teaser - HERE
The BBC documentary charts the dangers and accepted death toll of F1 during the 60s /70s, and how drivers like Jackie Stewart, who grew sick of their closest friends being killed on racetracks, took control of their destiny. Looking at the sport today its amazing to see the uphill battle Jackie and his peers seemed to face.
The scene at 55 minutes - David Purley at Zandvoort in 1973, trying to save a mans life while everyone else simply stands around watching - is incredibly harrowing....
It did two things for me:
1) Gave me a hell of a lot more respect for Jackie Stewart
2) Made me wonder if Colin Chapman, though clearly a genius who did value his drivers, was dangerously cavalier...?
post #857...yeah bet I bet she never had glasses slip off her nose...*smiles*
lol...it is
Red Bull Racing has dismissed talk that its new exhaust configuration is pushing the limits of Formula 1's technical regulations, despite suggestions from rival teams that the FIA may need to look at it.
Michael Schumacher says the new Mercedes is "promising" but has said the team are not yet in a position to win a race. "Victory to me is unlikely, I see Red Bull in front. Behind them it will be tight, and you can be either hero or zero very quickly."
Full story: Michael Schumacher's official website
Williams driver Bruno Senna has tipped Caterham to surprise this year but expects all the midfield teams to make a leap forward.
David Coulthard has warned Lewis Hamilton against traveling around the world to see friends between races. "I don't think it's going to be good if you are clocking up lots of miles in between the events," said the Scot. "If he is doing the LA trips a lot he may think sleeping in an aircraft is sufficient."
F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has indicated that the Bahrain Grand Prix will go ahead as planned. "The teams are all committed to be there, and will be there, and want to be there and like to be in Bahrain," he said. "Up until now we've never had any problems in Bahrain and we sincerely hope when we get there this year there won't be any problems. Is it good for the country? Personally, I believe yes. I really believe yes."
Vitaly Petrov has expressed relief at being given a chance with Caterham this season after spending the winter without a drive. He said: "It was obviously a pretty tough winter. But even though it was difficult at times, I never lost the belief that it would come good and that's what has happened."
F1 tyre supplier Pirelli will make use of a 2010 Renault R30 for testing purposes this year, with the test driver likely to be appointed later in March.
The European Grand Prix in Valencia is in doubt this year because the organisers have not yet paid the race fee.
Full story: El Pais (in Spanish)
The 2012 Formula 1 season will be significantly closer than the one just gone, according to Formula 1 team bosses.
McLaren has played down the significance of the recent engine mapping clampdown by the FIA that has closed off a loophole in the regulations.
The Australian Grand Prix is the ''least viable'' of all the Formula One races and unless Melbourne introduces a night race it will be scrubbed from the calendar after the contract expires, according to F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone.
Nick Heidfeld and Adrian Sutil are determined to return to Formula 1 in the near future.
Mercedes will not target a tilt at the World Championship until 2014. Germany's DPA news agency quotes motorsport director Norbert Haug as saying that, after finishing fourth in the constructors' standings in 2010 and 2011, the leap to first place is not possible in a single step. You don't just jump from fourth to first, so we want to do the countdown: four, three, two, one," he said.
Former F1 driver Riccardo Patrese has urged Ferrari to take action over the lack of Italian drivers in the sport following Jarno Trulli's split with Caterham. "Maybe Ferrari, if they wanted, could have an Italian driver as the second driver in the team particularly as Massa hasn't looked particularly good in the last couple of seasons. They could take a small risk to take a young Italian driver but this hasn't happened since the time of Michele Alboreto [in the 1980s]. I think there are good young Italian drivers but they need to be given the opportunity to prove their ability."
Full story: Riccardopatrese.com
Fernando Alonso says there is no reason why Ferrari won't be ready for the first race of the season on 18 March despite admitting to the team taking only "small steps" with their new car so far.
The HRT team have reportedly passed all the mandatory FIA crash tests, but face a race against time to have their car ready for the final days of pre-season testing in Barcelona, starting on Thursday.
Caterham's Formula 1 test and reserve driver Giedo van der Garde will be the team's driver for the new GP2 Championship season which starts in Kuala Lumpur on 23 March.
Red Bull's Mark Webber was satisfied with the team's practice sessions in Barcelona last week, saying: "We tested a lot of elements and everything worked well, especially since we had such a big programme. That can mean not a lot of laps and a lot of garage time, but we gathered a lot of good information today and that's a pleasing way to finish the week."
for those, like me, that never got to see the movie Senna...
Mine just got here Saturday.
Very nice piece. Went into a lot of the stuff about him that I remember, the early years in the JPS, the rain, Senna/Prost at Suzuka two years in a row and the events surrounding all that, him and Balestre, Dr. Watkins, Lauda and Stewart. A very poignant bit of cinema.
And his end was handled so well, no commentary, just video of the start, the crash, the docs getting him out of the car, and the helicopter heading off over the horizon.
Well worth the $16 I spent on Amazon, I'll watch it again.
Olé Senna. Obrigado, adeus, bravo. I don't cheer the bull, I cheer the matador.
Yeah, but some of the captions are in Spanish or Portugese. It is all clear enough I could follow. I'll watch it with my glasses on next time ;)
As I have stated before, I always thought I hated that bastard, but it was at the San Marino GP in 1994 I realized I loved and respected the man.
I'll always be on Senna's wing, going into Tamburello.
nicely done, Thanks
I take a few things away from this film, mainly that Ayrton was really a good guy, and Prost is a prick.
You don't see Prost out there after his fellow Frenchman Alesi has eated shat, laying there on the tarmac with his legs all twisted up after he tore his car into little pieces.
I'd pay a million bux to watch Senna and Prost in a cage match, my money is on the Brazilian. He'd pull the frog's arms off and stuff them up his big Gallic nostrils.
But I'm not bitter ;)
OK, I'm a dumbass, the crashed racer I refer to was Martin Donnely, not Alesi.
My bad.
You can download Senna on Netflix.
I saw it in the theater last year. Excellent movie on the big screen, even if some of the film quality is a bit "grainy." And I had the same impression of Prost.
We'll give it a round of wedge and two turns up on the trackbar. ;- )
Good one, but do we tell Massa?
The real answer is apparent wind
Actually I just saw the thread come alive and wanted to stop by and bump one of FR's most esoteric outposts.
Enjoy the season!
p.s. i just bought a 2012 Elantra work car that is keeping 40mpg
Looking at the new rules, I see they have learned about the "wave around".
"Before the safety car returns to the pits all lapped cars will be allowed to unlap themselves and then join the back of the pack, ensuring a clean re-start without slower cars impeding those racing for the leading positions."
But this web site has the calculation
Horner said he had not seen the letter or been asked to sign it but added that he believed the RRA had "fundamental flaws within it" - specifically that it is too easy for teams that are subsidiaries of car manufacturers, such as Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren, to hide work actually being done for F1 within the road-car department.
Several of the smaller teams in F1 are known to be struggling to make ends meet, and Horner believes allowing them to buy year-old cars from the leading teams would help them survive.
This has long met resistance from other teams, who believe F1 teams should make their own cars, currently a requirement.
F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has recently been pushing the idea of allowing so-called 'customer cars'.
Horner said: "[The customer car] eradicates your R&D costs and you effectively would acquire a rolling chassis or the basis of a chassis, which would be an awful lot more competitive than where some of those teams are."

The effect of foreign partner network embeddedness on international joint venture failure: Evidence from European firms' investments in emerging economies
Access to trusted information about potential local partners is a critical factor for international joint venture (IJV) stability and success in emerging economies. We build on social network theory and examine how foreign investors can benefit from their alliance networks in accessing reliable information on the availability, resources, and behavior of potential local IJV partners. More specifically, we examine positional embeddedness in networks and network density and how these factors help foreign firms mitigate behavioral uncertainty in IJVs and thus reduce the likelihood of failure. We use data on 349 IJVs formed by 132 European firms in emerging economies during the 1995–1997 period and event history analysis to test our hypotheses. Our findings indicate that having an alliance network is a necessary but insufficient condition to mitigate behavioral uncertainty of local partners. We find that only densely tied networks offer benefits of reliable information on potential local partners that ensure the longevity of IJVs and that a central position in an alliance network translates into lower IJV failure.

BayHawks host Fort Wayne in morning game
The Erie BayHawks' best stretch of basketball this season ended with a 116-98 loss to Fort Wayne nearly three weeks ago.
The BayHawks, who had won five of seven to push their record to 6-13, haven't been the same team since losing seven of nine to drop to fifth place in the D-League's East Division.
Fort Wayne (16-11) returns to Erie Insurance Arena today for an 11 a.m. tip-off to face a BayHawks team that has lost three straight, all on the road.
While the Mad Ants, 5-3 since beating the BayHawks on Jan. 16, are in the thick of the D-League playoff hunt tied for the league's fourth-best record, the BayHawks (8-20) are fighting to stay out of last place in the East.
The BayHawks won their last home game, beating Iowa 111-110 Jan. 26 on Lewis Jackson's last-second shot.
But they then dropped consecutive road games to Springfield, Maine and Springfield again, and will head back out for a three-game road trip after today.

Female athletes get concussions at higher rates than males. The CDC is establishing a database to track all concussions.
Learning CPR helped save this granddaughter's life.
Yes, my parents actually let me marry the guy who burned me. We were in high school and my future husband, John (the sweet guy he is), was cooking fried okra. The oil in the pan became too hot too fast. It went up in flames in a matter of seconds. I was standing back against the wall and could not get out of harm's way quick enough. My right foot and leg caught on fire.
I hope my story encourages parents to always buckle up their kids regardless of the situation. You don't want to feel the pain or grief I am going through. The sadness is overwhelming, even after a year.
Moving to D.C. and having to walk everywhere was a huge adjustment. My worries coming out centered around running out of data on my phone from using Google Maps, getting lost, or the blisters I might get on my feet from walking so much. What I should have been concerned with is my safety as a pedestrian.
As I write this with shaking hands, I know that shot that will haunt me for the rest of my life. But that's OK. Because that shot also reminds me of my teammates, the importance of sticking together no matter what and the amazing feeling you get when you're part of a team. It's the same feeling I recognized in the faces of the U.S. women's soccer team. And it's a feeling that I hope every athlete – boy or girl – can experience.
If you're one of those parents who insists on yelling at the officials during your kid's sporting event, let me start by saying, you're right. OK? The kid probably did travel. That was a total strike. It was definitely icing. Obvious pass interference. But that doesn't make up for all the ways we're wrong.
Just because I'm fearless on the court doesn't mean that I'm fearless in my everyday life. In fact, even something fun and seemingly harmless like a swimming pool can scare me. The truth is—I never learned to swim as a child. I may be able to score a career playoff high of 27 points for the Boston Celtics, but if you threw me into the ocean, I'd drown.
I love the dog park.
I love it because Halea, my dog (a very rare breed of mutt), loves it. She runs and plays and sniffs, and for 30 minutes every day, I feel like I'm actually giving her the attention she deserves.
I love it because of what I see when I'm there. All different kinds, shapes, and sizes of dogs playing together. They don't worry or judge or take things too seriously.
I never imagined the level of deception that would be involved in parenting. I knew my husband and I would fully support Santa, the Easter bunny, and the tooth fairy.
What I didn't expect were the small dishonesties that help us get through the day.
60% of parents don't fill out the registration card that comes with their child's car seat.

I wonder what the total expected runs that were subtracted solely by Dusty making dumb decisions. I bet it'd be more than 10, which probably cost us one win over the course of the season. Add to that the dumb shit like double switching Todd Walker in the 5th inning and pinching Mabry for Theriot, I bet you could come close to quantifying Dusty's net negative impact on the team. It'd be bad, but I guess the truth remains that this team sucks with or without Dusty.
And double switching Jones
And double switching Jones out of RF for no reason (could've just PH the pitcher the next inning) only to have Mabry muff the flyball to right to lose the game. And on and on.
By the way, anyone watching on TV hear that idiots totally lane explanation of the Cubs organizational philosophy of swinging at the first pitch? As if any more evidence was necessary that this is the most pathetic franchise in baseball.

I thought that the team with the worse record in either league gets the first pick.
YES! Last place has been
YES! Last place has been achieved -- and who better to put us there than Dempster, who allowed the winning run to score because of 2 walks and 2 wild pitches!!! Dempster has now lost 3 straight games to the previously last-place Pirates, by giving up 2, 3 and now 1 run with the game on the line. What in the world are they going to do with him for 2 more years? He is now in LaTroy-land, and he ain't coming back. What starting pitcher FA is going to come here if he knows Dempster will be blowing numerous W's?
Still liking Theriot -- a triple (although I didn't see it - legit or cheapie?) and 2 walks. He has put up a lot of XBH (although not HRs) in his brief time, and now has more BB than K's, I think, plus a great SB success ratio. I know it's a small sample size, but his Iowa numbers look pretty similar.
3 more hits for Murton, which must mean he's due to sit tomorrow so Pagan can go 0-4.
that stadium needs more hot midget action.

"a triple (although I didn't see it - legit or cheapie?)"

BILLYBUCKS: "...and who
BILLYBUCKS: "...and who better to put us there than Dempster, who allowed the winning run to score because of 2 walks and 2 wild pitches!!!"
This is the whole nutshell concept of the Dusty NOT holding players accountable.
The post-game conference that I saw a snippet from had Dusty pointing to great Pirates plays in the field saving runs, and he also remarks about the little infield hit in the 9th off Demp and they should have been out of the inning with Blanco's throw to 2nd (saying nothing about his ball four).
He mentioned nothing specific about Dempster stealing 15.5 million dollars, how he walks the bases loaded, can't find the plate, and wild-pitched us to a loss. From a freaking CLOSER. He DID say "he's had a tough time lately..." or something like this.
This is the problem I have with him is that in my eyes, he shields his players from any criticism and will not publicly hold them accountable.
I think as fans, many of us who see players stealing money, would like them to be publicly called out. They should be able to handle it for being a fucking overpaid, underperforming player that causes US frustration.
I think with this team in last place now, many of us may have been delusional in thinking that even 4th place would have been realistic. At least I was thinking 3rd or 4th. But LAST place? In the NL? I didn't envision it.
I wish that the Tribune would sell this team.
mannytrillo: "Congrats to
mannytrillo: "Congrats to Jim Hendry for officially running this organization into the ground."
That's cute, manny, but there's plenty of blame to go around, IMO.
Anyone else unexcited about the draft pick if the Cubs end up finishing in last place? I have this vision of the Cubs blowing their first pick on some guy ranked #113 by the experts, some 19-year old left-handed pitcher who has a history of elbow problems. Tell me you can't see that happening.
I could be mistaken but I
I could be mistaken but I believe the National league team with the worst record gets the first overall pick in next year's draft. Kansas City had the first overall pick in the amateur draft this year and I am pretty sure the leagues rotate the first pick on alternating years.

We moved up a draft pick at the moment, far more important than whether we finish 5th or 6th in our division.
From what I read, the high school crop is quite promising this year although the college crew is a bit down. That could all change between now and June of course.

I assume you're alluding to Colvin who mashed the ball in his first taste of the pros. The Cubs managed a 1st/3rd round talent (some say Colvin would have gone in the sandwich round or the 2nd) out of a 1st/5th. Seems like a good gamble. Colvin was ranked rather low by BA but what does that mean? Samard???? was a mid-1st pick if he didn't play football.
Yeah, we could draft the next Matt Bush or Brien Taylor, but it's better to have the chance to pick up the next A-rod than someone else getting the opportunity first.
Ryno: "That's cute, manny,
"That's cute, manny, but there's plenty of blame to go around, IMO."
That is why I do blamed the players, the manager, the coaches, but mostly the GM.
Prolonged excellence would
Prolonged excellence would be much preferred, but if you're not going to qualify for the post-season or at least come close, it's better to just lose 100+ games and maybe finish with the worst record in baseball and get the best HS or college player next June.
The Diamondbacksa, Tigers, and Marlins, have done that, and I like that approach. Why just be mediocre and finish in 4th place in the N. L. Central when you can REALLY stink and get the best player in the draft the following June?

From today's Tribune: Pie
From today's Tribune:
Pie peeved
Felix Pie will report to Arizona after the season to work out with Triple-A hitting coach Von Joshua. Pie, the Cubs' top-rated prospect, was upset that he was one of the few players on the 40-man roster not to be called up.
"Sure he was mad," said Oneiri Fleita, the Cubs' director of player development. "I told him before the game, and he went out and had three hits, then called me after the game and said, 'What do I have to do to get better?'"
Fleita said Pie needs to work on his baserunning, bunting and his overaggressiveness at the plate.
"Sometimes he swings early in the count, like he knows we don't like to see," Fleita said. "But a lot of that is [lack of] experience."
Bunting skills? Once again, lets try to put the square peg into the round hole. Since when is laying off pitches early in the count the Cub's approach? That approach certainly has not been preached to their major league team since ... well forever? I'd be pissed too if I was Pie.
This is NUTS: "Honestly,
This is NUTS:
"Honestly, I'd like to see him get his head together, take some time off and have a great winter. Fleita said Pie ''probably is'' disappointed not to be among the September call-ups. ''But he's a good kid and he can turn it into a positive. He's going to work with Bob Dernier on his bunting and base running and then he'll spend the winter working with Von Joshua."
Pie is not a leadoff man. The Cubs(Hendry) said they were batting him first at Iowa in order to get him more plate appearances after missing half a season at West Tennessee. But that apparently was a lie because now he's being judged a failure as a leadoff man and needs more work on his @#$!BUNTING@#%! and baserunning??!
Whats more, he's getting the full Corey Patterson treatment. Pie is now officially a "headcase" who Fleita "hopes" will take the winter off (and how's he gonna do that when you have him playing in the AFL and Winter leagues?) and "get his head together."
If I'm Pie and I read that quote from Fleita I'm thinking WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!
Pie led Iowa and was 14th in the PCL in runs scored. Juan Pierre is 47th in the NL and dead last (http://tinyurl.com/qp3mf) among leadoff men in runs scored. Pie hit 15 home runs and drove in 52. Pierre has hit 2 home runs and has driven in 34.
Pie OBP .341
Pierre .335
Pie Slug .451
Pierre .392
Pie Avg .283
Pierre .290
Pie's strikeout/AB ratio the previous four years 22%
Pie's strikeout/AB ratio this year
I should add that it's clear
I should add that it's clear Pie isn't being brought up because Dusty wants to "reward" his number one boy Juan Pierre who must play every game. I've never seen more selfish baseball, more unnecessary base stealing attempts at inopportune times, than Pierre has been displaying the last couple weeks. Last night he treated us to another pointless failed attempt to steal third as he pads his season numbers while managing to run us out of rallies
And of course Pie can't be brought up to play RF because Dusty must reward JJ with totally pointless at bats as well.
Inside scoop -- Cubs plan to

CWTP: Please don't compare
Please don't compare "stats" between a bona fide MLB leadoff player with a .300 career average and a World Series ring with a minor leaguer who has not started a game in the Majors.
I know you are frustrated, but you're embarrassing yourself.
Pierre made an f'd play last night, and he has made outs stealing bases this year in boneheaded attempts, but in Dusty's world, I am guessing with his work ethic and solid numbers, he is earning his playing time.
This manager is a goner and I only wish the GM would resign.
This is why our team is
This is why our team is dysfunctional.
August 23rd when Ryan Theriot tried to steal 3rd base and got caught...
"That shocked us all," said Cubs manager Dusty Baker, whose team fell to 53-72. "Maybe he was overplaying. That wasnít a good play. That was a bad play, especially with 3-4-5 coming up there. I guess he was trying to be aggressive."
"That was a young, a very young, mistake right there."
Theriot took the heat.
"Obviously, looking at it now, it wasnít a very good play in that situation," he said. "I was trying to make something happen right there and get everything going a little bit, but looking back on it, it wasnít the best move."
Juan Pierre gets caught stealing last night in an identical situation, via Bruce Miles...
Baker carried on for two days criticizing rookie Ryan Theriot about a similar play Aug. 22. However, he seemed to defend the veteran Pierre.
"Well, I mean, Juan is on his own," Baker offered. "He has a pretty good idea when to run. He didnít get a real good jump on that ball. On that one he usually gets an outstanding jump. Just a tough night."
But it doesn't end there as Derrek Lee hops on the defend Pierre band wagon while Theriot got thrown under the bus...
"I want him running right there every time," Lee said. "I thought it was the right play. The way we're swinging the bats and struggling to score runs, he's trying to make it easier for the hitters, especially with Aramis out. I thought it was a great play. He just got thrown out."
Can't the same be said about Theriot? Or does the situation only change based off service time and the color of your skin?
If your gonna throw the rookie under the bus for the play, fine. But if your veteran does the same thing, you better light his ass up in the papers also. You can't imagine the message that sends to every young player through your organization when rookie players are held to much higher standards than the veterans.
And to finish all of this off, the Pirates go out and try to get better while the Cubs sit on their ass...
Hours before their game against the Cubs, the Pirates commandeered Wrigley Field to take extra batting, infield and outfield practice, something the home team has done precious little of this season.
We didn't get to last place by accident. We earned it.
Mike you are being a bit
Mike you are being a bit hard on Dusty. How was Dusty to know that Pierre's play was a bad one when Darin didn't call to tell him.
Strong stuff; truth hurts.
Strong stuff; truth hurts. Cite the source of the content and this should go on the front TCR page as guest commentary. FWIW, IMHO
"Sometimes he swings early
"Sometimes he swings early in the count, like he knows we don't like to see," Fleita said.
Oh my.
Tough stat to get, but --
Tough stat to get, but -- does Dempster now lead relief pitchers with 9 losses?
The first rule of managing
The first rule of managing people, whether in baseball or in business, is to praise publicly, and criticize privately. That doesn't mean that you don't hold people accountable, it simply means that you don't rip them in public. You deal with it privately, and take appropriate steps if the actions are not corrected.
Dusty gets 50% of this right. He refuses to criticize his players (at least his veteran players) in the pres, no matter how indefensible their actions might be. Because nothing is gained by publicly humiliating a player who already knows that he has goofed. That's how a manager loses a team and gets fired.
However, I really question whether he addresses the baserunning gaffes and other fundamental breakdowns in priavte meetings with his players, and he certainly seems reluctant to hold them accountable when they repeatedly make the same mistakes.
Dempster has 8 losses (1-8),
Dempster has 8 losses (1-8), good for a tie with Elmer Dessens (5-8) for second place in reliever losses. Derrick Turnbow is the leader in that category (4-9).
"I want him running right
"I want him running right there every time," Lee said. "I thought it was the right play"
Now this is when a real manager would say "No dumbasses, this is not the right play! I don't care how fast you are and if you won the batting title its dumb baseball!"
The Cubs are scoring some runs with Lee back and one more bat the offense will be fine in 2007. The pitching will need Christ himself in the rotation next year to be even decent. Its the pitching stupid.
"He refuses to criticize his
"He refuses to criticize his players (at least his veteran players) in the press"
This is correct, we saw what he did to Cedeno in the dugout earlier this year.
Solid numbers E-man??!!
Solid numbers E-man??!! Pierre is dead last in scoring runs batting #1. 30th in Major League Baseball by a wide margin - Ten Runs worse than #29 St. Louis.
"Please don't compare "stats" between a bona fide MLB leadoff player with a .300 career average and a World Series ring with a minor leaguer who has not started a game in the Majors.I know you are frustrated, but you're embarrassing yourself."
Try to get up to speed. If I'm embarrassing myself then what about BILL JAMES, it's his idea. He's shown that minor league statistics are as good a predictor of major league performance as major league statistics are. And Pie has an extensive minor league career. Six hundred more plate appearances than his manager Dusty Baker... the same Dusty Baker who claims he spent a long time in the minors getting prepared.
Nope, Pie knows he's been screwed, but then what else is new. He deserves a September call-up. Nice Job Hendry!
He refuses to criticize his
He refuses to criticize his players (at least his veteran players) in the press
He definitely doesn't mind criticizing the kids, and he didn't have a problem beating Walker around from time to time.
I guess the pitchers didn't
I guess the pitchers didn't rely on the greenies as much as the hitters-
First of all, if I read the
First of all, if I read the situation correctly (didn't see the game), Pierre tried stealing 3B with one out. Theriot tried it with two outs, which is stupid. If Pierre did indeed do it with two, then he's equally stupid. But it's not an identical situation if he didn't.
Secondly, take a wild guess as to why Pierre hasn't scored that many runs. I guess it has nothing to do with how the guys behind him have hit.
*Anyone else unexcited about
*Anyone else unexcited about the draft pick if the Cubs end up finishing in last place? I have this vision of the Cubs blowing their first pick on some guy ranked #113 by the experts, some 19-year old left-handed pitcher who has a history of elbow problems. Tell me you can't see that happening.*
No, but I can see them taking yet another probable steroid abusing young pitcher who will spend 1/2 of his first 6 years or more on the DL.
More irony: remember when people used to pity the poor Twins for not being able to afford Prior and "having to pick" Mauer.
Ha freakin' ha. Boo freakin' hoo.
CWTP: "I should add that
"I should add that it's clear Pie isn't being brought up because Dusty wants to "reward" his number one boy Juan Pierre who must play every game."
TCR conspiracy theories at their best.
"Secondly, take a wild guess
"Secondly, take a wild guess as to why Pierre hasn't scored that many runs. I guess it has nothing to do with how the guys behind him have hit."
It also probably has nothing to do with the fact that Pierre was never on base for the first 2 1/2 months of the season.
That's a side-effect of not clogging the bases... you don't score runs.
CWTP- From Cubs.com: Will
From Cubs.com:
Will outfielder Felix Pie be called up to the big-league roster?
"That's not on me," Baker said. "That's on our development people and Jim. We do wish he'd done better. He's got a few things to learn, according to our scouts, about playing the game. Everybody's clamoring for him, but it's not up to me."
"We do wish he'd done
"We do wish he'd done better"
Ok...so next year, if he hits .320, with 25 HR's, 70 walks and 40K's, will he get to play here?
Pie had a solid season...not spectacular, but solid.
He deserved a call up, especially with Mabry's back/Jones's tear duct condition.
I really hope that they do not try to make him a leadoff hitter.....
It's best that Pie didn't
It's best that Pie didn't get called up. He'd have a bad case of splinter-ass in a week or so.
MIKEC: "Juan Pierre gets
"Juan Pierre gets caught stealing last night in an identical situation, via Bruce Miles..."
Pierre got thrown out with his team in the bottom of the 8th, 1 out, game tied.
Theriot got thrown out with his team down 3 runs, in the bottom of the 7th, with 2 outs.
There is a HUGE difference in the two situations. First being 1 out vs. 2 out and secondly, tied game vs. down 3 runs.
And trust me I am NOT calling you or Jacos a racist, by there really is no need bringing up the color of skin into the debate. I know you both really despise Baker, but by bringing in the color of skin, it only makes those racist letters and the national view of Cubs fans look more and more true.

Why start the clock on Pie just to give us something to watch in September? I can wait.

There is a HUGE difference in the two situations. First being 1 out vs. 2 out and secondly, tied game vs. down 3 runs.
Wait for it....I am gonna agree with this. I don't know what side your taking on this issue though Manny.
But I will say this, Pierre's gaffe was worse. Tie game he is on 2nd base only 1 out, a simple single scores him easily. Cubs likely in position to win.
You need to take some risks down 3 runs, but you got to play smarter in tight games. Neither situation worked out for either player, and the same comments leveled at Theriot apply to Pierre. Got one of the Cubs hottest hitters in Theriot up next and then you have Derrek Lee.
Both were ill-advised attempts. But you would think Pierre would be a tad smarter and know the risk reward in a close game situation like that. So that is worse to me.
Look at me....i am debating a play on a team in dead last in the NL Central like its the middle of a pennant race and cost as a chance at the playoffs. This is all the Cubs have left me with......its sad its so sad.
Manny- Where did I say that
Where did I say that Pierre and Theriot were being treated different because of race?
Random thoughts on this
Random thoughts on this thread:
1) You CANNOT just compare minor league and major league numbers - you have to calculate major league equivalents to factor in the obvious differences in pitchers at the two levels. I kinow that Pie's 2005 AA MLEs were very good, especially for his age. I don't know what his 2006 stats would translate to as MLEs, but they can't be nearly as good as last year's.
2) Regardless - there is no real point in bringing up Pie for a few weeks now in light of the service time risk. Plus, why is it a bad thing that Pie is told you need to work on some basic fundamentals before you are rewarded? Regardless of whether Pie is being groomed as a leadoff hitter or not, (and none of know for sure), any guy brought up from the minors needs to be able to run the bases well, lay down bunts, increase strike zone judgment, etc. These are theprecise types of skills that the CUbs organization has not (seemingly) stressed with young players and whether it is new or not, the individualized instruction for Pie seems precisely what is in order for him.
Mike, you couldn't be
you couldn't be anymore wrong about the stolen bases. Little leaguers know that you don't make the first or last out at third base. (which is what theriot did)
Getting to third with one out is a good thing, you can come home without the benefit of the hit. It didn't work out and I'm not sure if you should ever run in front of Derrek Lee, but theriot's play was far more boneheaded than Pierre's.
Please explain what "groomed
Please explain what "groomed for a leadoff hitter" is supposed to mean. Do leadoff hitters have to hit an elliptical ball while everyone else hits a round one??
It's your opinion Rob. But I
It's your opinion Rob. But I think your totally wrong.
We pay Derrek Lee a king's ransom to knock in RISP. If Pierre is on 2nd base, you need to ensure Lee steps to the plate. If Pierre gets thrown out at 3rd (which is a much higher probability than stealing 2nd), Lee likely will not come up with a RISP.
Theriot walked after Pierre was caught stealing. With Lee and Jones next up at AB. If you absolutely needed to steal, then you do it in that situation. Double Steal, atleast if Pierre is thrown out at 3rd you still got a person in scoring position with DLee stepping to the plate. But we never got that chance.
Situations require different strategies. You need to be a little more conservative in a tie game and your the winning run. You got to give the hitters behind you a chance to hit a simple single. Especially the guy you pay a shit load of money to do that kind of job.
baseball isnt a video
baseball isnt a video game...different role players have different expectations.
players really are asked to do things other than going up there and giving it their best shot.
no one would need a complicated series of signs, options, and plays if everyone went up there to hit the B button to swing and the A button with direction pad to steal.
There was no guarantee Lee
There was no guarantee Lee would come up, he was 2 batters away and you don't know if Theriot would walk. Soto pinch-hit next.
I'm sure the RSox were glad they were conservative in Game 4 of the ALCS 2 years ago in a close game. A successful steal by Pierre in that situation would put the team in a better situation to score, there was nothing wrong with the decision. And it pales compared to Theriot's last 2 baserunning blunders.
"Secondly, take a wild guess
"Secondly, take a wild guess as to why Pierre hasn't scored that many runs. I guess it has nothing to do with how the guys behind him have hit."
It also probably has nothing to do with the fact that Pierre was never on base for the first 2 1/2 months of the season.
That's a side-effect of not clogging the bases... you don't score runs.
In April, Pierre scored 17 runs, his highest monthly total. His OBP? .289
Slighly lower OBP in May, .267..runs? 11
June, raised his OBP to .352...runs? 9
Last two months, .380 and .346, runs each month: 15
Tells me that in April, he was driven in the relatively few times he was on base and in June, when he was getting on base at a good clip, no one could get him home. And he had more runs in April while getting on less often than during his current hot streak.
But yeah, go ahead and blame it all on him.
What a bunch of twisted
What a bunch of twisted horseshit. I didn't blame it all on Pierre. You mentioned the guys batting behind him and it's only fair to mention that Pierre has the worst OBP of any leadoff hitter in the NL. The team has absolutely missed D-Lee, but Pierre's lack of runs scored has more to do with him having such a weak OBP than it does the guys hitting behind him.
His runs scored in April was a total fluke.
Not to mention Walker was also playing way above his head in April and batting behind Pierre every day. 5 of Pierre's RS in April came in the first week when they pounded the Reds, 2 runs scored on passed balls in 1 game. There was a great deal of luck involved in him scoring 17 times with a .289 OBP.
BJS: "it's only fair to
"it's only fair to mention that Pierre has the worst OBP of any leadoff hitter in the NL."
Just so we can talk factually, Pierre does not have the worst OBP of NL leadoff men. Pierre has an OBP of .339 (tied with Marcus Giles), and Randy Winn has an OBP of .319.
"It also probably has
"It also probably has nothing to do with the fact that Pierre was never on base for the first 2 1/2 months of the season.
That's a side-effect of not clogging the bases... you don't score runs."
I guess you're just a master of subtext. Because I see nothing there that doesn't blame Pierre.

Do you start him Sunday or not?
@jonmorosi Pitchers w/ sub-2.00 ERA in year of 185+ IP this century: Pedro '00, Clemens '05, Kershaw '13/'14, Arrieta '15, Greinke '15, Hendricks '16.
Yeah -- that would be rough for him. But, Monty is getting people out, he's a lefty and he has experience working out of the bullpen. Hammel? None of the above.
even if he's not starting, abandoning hammel would be a bit of a 'screw you.' i think it might be -monty +hammel, but it's speculation.
either way, someone's gonna be disappointed.
Joe said he is leaning towards 11 pitchers and 14 position players.
- 4 starters, Chapman, Rondon, Strop, CJ, Wood, Grimm, Monty. No dice for Cahill or Smith.
- 3 catchers, Rizz, Zo, Addy, KB, Javy, Heyward, Fowler, Soler, Coghlan, TLS and then Sczcur over Almora?
Cubs 3B Jason Vosler made two really bad throws on consecutive AB in the 8th. Fortunately the game was no longer in doubt at the time
The first one was a one-hop lob that allowed the batter to reach base on an infield single, and the second was air-mailed so far over the first-baseman's head that it went over the fence and landed in Field #4.
E-MAN: Despite the HR, Donnie Dewees is really more of a slash hitter (the HR was an opposite-field line-drive) who can accumulate lots of doubles & triples. He's also a good bunter and can get on base that way, too. Although he was thrown out trying to steal in the game, he's actually a good base-stealer and baserunner.
Defensively he has plus-range and tracks fly balls OK, so he can play CF, but he has a rag arm that requires the middle infielders to go out further into CF to make relays.
I don't know how many of you remember Bobby Knoop, who played 2B for the Angels, White Sox, and Royals back in the day, but he is a coach-emeritus for the Angels, and works with the infielders at Minor League Camp, Extended Spring Training, and Instructs. He's pretty spry for a 77-year old, and he really knows his shit.
With a big lead, Chapman was throwing sliders and changeups, something he's reluctant to do in a save situation. (Len and Jim covered this.)
Maybe they have a bad owner, I don't know, but they still have players and fans and a franchise, all devastated by this loss of life. Plus, everybody who follows baseball is a fan of a guy like this. It's why I used the word tragedy, which other people throw around but I try to be careful with.
I'm at an age where I remember old incidents better than recent ones, but I have to go back to Herb Score for something as disturbing.
That was Dee Gordon's only HR this year. Wow.
Thank you PHIL.
Glad you avoided temps in the 100s.
I remember you mentioning Dewees needng plenty of work in th IF. How are his OF instincts?
Also, did see much of Satchel McElroy? Only Satchel I have heard about other than the "orignal" and one of Woody Allen's kids.
Hate to give the Mets credit, but they did everything right tonight in what had to be a very tough game for them to play. As Hollandsworth said on the Cubs post-game -- if you watched the game, you saw Mets players consoling Marlins players who were in tears during the game. Between that and the way Molina handled the Ross farewell -- maybe the Mets and Cardinal players aren't pure evil. Just the fans.
New York Mets @Mets
Dee Gordon lead-off home run. #AintEvenMad #BiggerThanBaseball 1-0 Miami.

Amazing effort by Gordon -- truly remarkable.
Cubs get 100, KB gets 100, Hendricks gets below 2.00, Cards get absolutely destroyed by the Reds -- all good, other than some Rondon concern. Hopefully, he can get a few outings in this week and find his groove. Also, I guess Soler is still struggling with his right side. Hmmmm. Too bad Joe didn't let Addy bat with the bases loaded in the 7th -- great RBI opportunity.
I assume all the relievers are on a set schedule this week, but it seems strange Chapman pitched back-to-back.
Barry Rozner article interviewing Greg Maddux (with comments on Kyle Hendricks).
"I like watching him pitch," Maddux said of Hendricks. "I like guys that rely on movement and location. I can relate to him. That's what I had to do. "I'd rather watch him pitch than some lefty throwing 95 mph."

Ganglion Cyst Removal
Q: I had surgery to remove a ganglion cyst a year ago. I am still experiencing extreme stiffness and pain. What should I do? After surgery I went to physical therapy, but I still cannot do anything with my wrist (push-ups, yoga, anything involving bending or flexing my wrist)
A: Your present problems with your wrist could be related to your previous surgery or not. A likely scenario is the formation of scar tissue after removal of the ganglion. Scar tissue formation is normal, however there is the possibility that the scar tissue has affected a nerve or nerves in the wrist resulting in your pain and stiffness. You could have developed some new condition in your wrist such as arthritis though thus is less likely. I suggest you visit your orthopedic surgeon for an examination.
