Hairston's playing well so far this Spring.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

mabry flies out to deep center. inning over.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Hairston's playing well so far this Spring.

 

That's what I was thinking. It sounds like he wasn't playing at 100% last year b/c of some nagging injuries, but now he's healthy.

 

I'm getting less and less concerned about Walker starting.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Top of the 4th.

 

Fly ball drops in between Pierre and Hairston. Looked like poor communication. Pierre's route sucked.

[jam1975]

Our outfield isn't looking so hot today. Ball drops between Pierre and Hairston.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

LMAO. TV shows a flag hanging straight down and Len says "it's just a guess, but i don't think wind was an issue." :lol:

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Rusch runs count full with man on 2nd, 0 outs.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

grounder right side, Glendon fails to cover. 1st and 3rd, no outs.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Soto's looking good behind the plate defensively.

[Laura]

Nice to see the "no one covering first base" act is in midseason form.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Called strike 3 on black. Beautiful. We needed that.

[RyCubsFan]

grounder right side, Glendon fails to cover. 1st and 3rd, no outs.

 

 

Cubs pitchers really need to work on that this Spring Training. Make them work on it for a whole afternoon with Maddux one day!

[Laura]

Good grief.

 

That just looked BAD, Walker.

 

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

haha, Walker drops the easy fly ball in shallow RF. no IF fly rule, so Walker gets the force at 2nd. no damage done.

 

2 down, men on 1st and 3rd.

[RyCubsFan]

Soto's looking good behind the plate defensively.

 

 

Somewhat surprising, so has Fox. Good to see the young catchers looking good.

 

If Fox keeps it up though, he's on top. IMO he has the most promising bat.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Good grief.

 

That just looked BAD, Walker.

 

 

yeah, he didn't look pleased.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

lined in front of Pierre. two runs score. wow, his arm isn't too good.

 

1-3 Rockies

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

one bouncer to Mabry to end the inning.

 

It's a good thing this is ST, b/c our fundamentals are sucking.

That's part of what I enjoy about watching the Japanese and the Korean teams. They really do the fundamentals exceptionally well. The defense of Japan was sick (as in very good) last night against the U.S. Of course, so is DLee's defense! :D

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

bottom 4, cubs down 1-3

 

Walker flies out to CF...NOPE...Freeman lets it go over his head.

 

Maybe it's the sun. :?

other than the firstbaseman pulling his foot of the bag in the 9th, they were solid. they could definitely teach us some things.

Dusty isn't laughing. :lol:

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Murton Ks reaching.

[Laura]

Ends up going as a double for Walker, who has some cool blue shades.

 

Murton Ks, 1 out.
