3/14 ST Cubs (Williams) vs Mariners (Foppert) 2 PM

[nick23]

Jerome's off to a nice start.

Bruce,

 

In another source, Walker commented that he had a 10-team no trade clause in his contract. Have you heard anything of the sort?

 

There is some sort of limited no-trade that I believe kicks in April 1, but I don't know the exact language. There seems to be little interest in Walker around the big leagues right now.

Any idea what teams Walker put on his list?

IMO, teams know that Jim wants Walker off his team and why would anyone overpay for him given that. I like what Walker brings to the offense but his mouth is more than he's worth.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Dobbs grounds out to 1st. Runners advance to 2nd and 3rd. 2 down. Morris (LF) up.

When has his mouth ever cost the team games?

[BeerHere]

BB loads the bases. Williams is struggling.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Morris walks on 4 pitches. Bases loaded, 2 down. Rivera © up.

I didn't say that it did.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

54% of the losses in the past 3 years have been due to a chemical deficiency. If they finally get rid of all the bad guys they will win, but not until then. The fun thing is we don't know who the bad guys are going to be until management draws up that offseason's must-dump list.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Williams can't spot the fastball.

 

Rivera strikes out swinging to end our misery.

 

0-2 Mariners

But our 2nd starter is ready to simulate going.

[BeerHere]

Williams was getting tagged early then he was trying to be too fine with the fb.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Pierre leads of the bottom half of the 1st inning with a slap to 3rd. The throw to first is in time. 1 down.

 

Pierre showed bunt and then tried to slap the ball past Dobbs.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Walker lines out to second on the first pitch. 2 down.

 

Take some pitches guys.

I thought I just read that team chemistry was at an all-time high?
