ST 3/25 Cubs (Marshall) vs A's & Cubs (Williams) @ Royal

[Jon]

You know it's Spring Training when some of the players don't even have fitted hats on.

 

when we were down in mesa, my brother was pretty proud of the fact that his hat was nicer than a lot of the players'.

I'm going back to the adjustable this year. The fitted ones shrink too much if you're caught in a rain storm.

 

An impressive AB by Mabry.

[fiver]

Pierre looks like a minature Dave Chapelle.

 

What?!?

 

sorry.

[Omar]

Mabry strikes out, letting go of the bat.

[Outshined_One]

The moment Len compared Mabry to Mark Grace, the baseball gods decided to have a chuckle.

Len is off his game today, Marby looks nothing like grace at the plate.

Yeah, that wasn't very Graceful, was it?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pie grounds out. One down.

Maybe he was smoking in the dugout before his AB like Grace used to do.

[CubinNY]

Pierre looks like a minature Dave Chapelle.

 

What?!?

 

sorry.

 

What what?!?

[Chris]

Len's comment was in regards to the fact that it was a left handed batter without batting gloves wearing #17.

[Outshined_One]

That was an interesting pitch to swing at.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Dopirak grounds out to third. Two down.

[Outshined_One]

Maybe it's time he put some on so he can hold onto his bat.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Hairston gets another four pitch walk.

 

Runner on first, two out.

[Jon]

[ltb]

[Omar]

[CubinNY]

Marshall's settling in.

 

Hendry got a haircut!!!!

[David]

And Brenly continues to perpetuate the myth that Moneyball is about OBP... :roll:

[nolanwood]

I really like what I'm seeing of Marshall thus far!

I always thought it was about exploiting deficiencies in the market...
