Cool site: Only Baseball Matters.

Over at Baseball Prospectus, Rany Jazayerli has some thoughts on The Five-Man Rotation. I haven’t had a chance to digest this yet, but it’s a different perspective.

Caught the tail end of the Cubs/Astros game last night. Silly umpiring decision. After both teams had been warned, Houston starter Roy Oswalt nailed the leadoff man in the bottom of the seventh. Instant ejection. Oh, his team was leading, 9-2 at the time. Of course, he’s trying to hit the guy. I mean, with a seven run lead and the wind blowing out at Wrigley, the obvious thing to do is put baserunners on so the opposition can get back into the game.

Adam Eaton made his second rehab start at Elsinore last night. Against Stockton, he allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits over 4 1/3 innings. Struck out six, walked two. Rusty Tucker struck out the side in the ninth en route to his 10th save.

With school and work, upcoming gigs and a recording session coming up, things are kinda crazy right now, so if I don’t post quite as regularly over the next couple weeks, that’s why…
