Cardinal pitchers versus the stolen base

... average total stolen base percentage for all Cardinal teams across 1996-2008, there are disconnects with, say, guys like Carpenter who have only been with the team since 2004. Since I have a definite amount of time in which to research and write this piece, I chose to accept this as an inherent flaw in my presentation, although I maintain that the premise and results are solid. Carp might look a little more human were he only compared against the catchers he has thrown to, where a Matt Morris or ...

Matt's Yankee Stadium Memories: Part II

... next several years I attended more and more games, until eventually our family had season tickets. They were in the section behind home plate, in the last row of the top section of reserved seats. Behind us was a railing, and I brought the tradition of hanging K's to Skylands Park. A number of the pitchers told me they looked up to see how many they had, and I was even interviewed for local TV once. Not many players made it to the majors from those teams- Adam Kennedy, Matt Morris, Chris Richard, and Coco Crisp (who went by "Covelli" ...

Matt Morris and Sunk Costs
Published 4/29/2008 by JC at Sabernomics
On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Pirates released veteran right-handed pitcher Matt Morris. This closes a book on one of the hardest-to-understand deals that I can remember. Just before last season’s trade deadline the Pirates sent reserve outfielder Rajai Davis to San Francisco for Morris, leaving the Pirates on the hook for Morris’s remaining salary: a prorated portion of his 2007 $9.5 million salary, $9.5 million in 2008, and a $1 million buyout of 2009. When the trade occurred Morris was a few days from turning 33 and his best days were clearly ...

Rocky start puzzles Pirates’ Matt Morris

... “A bull, a stud, a tiger, a bulldog, a stallion--a whole zoo in one pitcher! Our Matty, always a Cardinal in our hearts.” ( hilaripusiness from the Matt Morris page) Every time Matt Morris takes the mound, he’s hoping to discover why he has struggled so much this year. Three starts into the season, and all he and the Pirates’ coaching staff have are more questions. ..."It’s not puzzling. It doesn’t matter what pitch you throw, it’s just location and how sharp it is,” Morris said. “The second time around and the third time around, my location has been off, so that’s where ...

... - Hill gave up two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings in his first start of the season, and he pitched well. The problem was one of those walks came with two outs and J.R. Towles followed with a two-run homer. It’s all part of growing pains for Hill. He didn’t get much run support, something he had to deal with last year as well. The lefty ranked second in the Majors in lowest run support in 2007. Maybe he needs to take his teammates out to dinner. Matt Morris - Morris wasn’t fooling the Marlins offense in his first start of the season, as the veteran ...

Trade Deadline: What Should the Sox Do? (Starters)
Published 7/18/2007 by Allen Chace <info@overthemonster.com> at Over the Monster
... Matt Morris: He could certainly be available for a corner player with power potential, like WMP, Brandon Moss or similar. Not worth a Lars Anderson, and young SPs are not really a need (Lincecum, Lowry, Cain, Zito, and no, Zito's not young, but they're stuck with him anyway).For: He's almost the definition of a League Average Innings Muncher (LAIMer), holding opponents to exactly a 100 OPS+ through his last start and averaging almost 6 2/3 IP per game. His performance and peripherals haven't matched well until recently. (read: corrected by two pretty poor starts in a row) He's not exactly a rental, as he'd be under contract for next season with a reasonable-for-this-market team option worth 9M-11M (based upon reaching ...
