MLB.TV complicates service, frustrates out-of-market fan
Published 4/11/2009 by Robby O'Daniel at Hot Foot
... I checked again the next day, and it was there. I ended up watching Monday’s game archived and Wednesday’s game live on television back-to-back. Two Mets wins. Nice. The only bad part of the evening was having to endure the bitter commentary of the Reds’ announcing team on television: Thom Brenneman and Jeff Brantley. Regarding Pelfrey and K-Rod when they were having problems, both of them quipped that they would be surprised if each could throw three strikes ...

Mo vs. K-Rod
Published 3/22/2009 by Travis G at Pinstripe Alley
... different than Joba, but Joba is small potatoes compared to K-Rod. He's the Manny Ramirez of pitchers (falling to his knees, screaming, throwing his hands into the air, pumping his chest, etc.). Joba at his fist-pumping-est most doesn't come close to K-Rod's 'show' when he closes out a game. Ironically, the closer most opposite K-Rod (in terms of temperament) will now be pitching across town from him.  Comparing the two closers via stats is difficult because K-Rod just turned 27 and has been pitching full-time since he was 21. Mo didn't debut as ...

Top 100 Angels: Francisco RODRIGUEZ #20
Published 3/7/2009 by Rev Halofan at Halos Heaven
... before that, he pretty much was the glue that led to the postseason dominance the Angels enjoyed in 2002. No Frankie = No ring. No arguments about that. He did not establish as much as Troy Percival in Angels history to claim the highest ranking of a relief pitcher in team history, but it is inconceivable that he could not be in the Team's All Time 25 players. If his arm had fallen off after the 2002 offseason he would still be in the Top 50 Angels on my list. CAREER STATS - Frankie's Post-2005 All Time Angels Essay.

... be post season after thoughts like the Texas Rangers of 1998 and 1999. They blew a potential game 1 victory and looked poised to cough up another late lead to the Yankees. Percival came into the game in the 8th and with the bases loaded and the tying run on second struck out Jeter looking. The Yankees would lose games 2, 3 and 4. Percival would close out the Division Series, the LCS and finally the World Series. No other Angels pitcher can claim that!

Derek Lowe, Oliver Perez and the $150M Budget

... If so, what would it take? Think about that rotation, together, for the next 3+ years. Can the Mets afford to add another $25M to the payroll? Didn't they have a ton of money come off the books from the $138M they spent last year? Haven't they lost the services of Pedro Martinez and his $12M a year? Moises Alou at $7.5M a year? El Duque at $7M a year? Jorge Sosa and his $2M a year? Scott Schoeneweis and his $3.6M a year? Sure they locked down KRod and JJ Putz , and that cost $18M a year, but is there not room for more?

This Is Getting Ridiculous

... . Kerry Wood was a more valuable pitcher ($5.72 million) than Francisco Rodriguez ($4.62 million) in 2008, but he was limited by injuries during the four previous seasons. Assuming that Wood pitches exactly as he pitched in 2008, I estimate he will be worth approximately $6.5 million per season for the next two years. I reiterate: this assumes that one of the most injury-prone players in the league performs as he did last year.. He made $4.2 million pitching for the Cubs last season, and the Cubs didn’t even offer him arbitration. Given his injury history, I ...

Free Agent Fodder - December 8 Update
Published 12/8/2008 by Dave Zimmerman at National Pastime
... The fourth big-name free agent is Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez, the Angels closer who just broke the major league single season save record with 62 saves during 2008.  K-Rod was more impressive retiring batters earlier in his career, but he'll be just 27-years old when the 2009 seasons starts.  Despite all that K-Rod has done for the Angels, I expect them to let him move on, with either Scot Shields or Jose Arrendondo taking over as closer.  The Mets, having lost their veteran closer Billy Wagner through next season and ...

... When it comes down to it, I think that saves are as much of a team statistic as they are an individual’s statistic. Frankie Rodriguez set a record by recording 62 (and counting) saves this year. But he’s also set a record for more save opportunites. He’s blown 6 saves thus far this year, which is very good—but not the greatest ever. "It's unbelievable," ...
