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

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Marshall's settling in.

 

Hendry got a haircut!!!!

 

that's the only way he can lose weight. :lol:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Perez with a ground-rule double. Hairston is forced to stay at third.

 

Runners on second and third, two out. Ramirez up.

[CuseCubFan69]

Hendry's happy now so he can now trade Marshall for a Graffenino. :D

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The Royals announcer just said, "Man, that Neifi can really hit!" :shock:

 

WTF!!!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

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

 

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

 

It is. But that's the way the old schoolers think b/c they've never bothered to read the book or keep an open mind.

Perez with a ground-rule double. Hairston is forced to stay at third.

 

Stupid Neifi :D O:)

 

J/k

Pretty much. But I guess it's a lot easier to not read that book and just say it's all about OBP.

That WGN graphic with the strikezone is a new one on me.

 

Marshall tends to miss in interesting ways, doesn't he?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ramirez pops up to retire the side.

 

Mid 2, Cubs 4, Royals 0.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

BTW, does anyone care what's happening in Surprise?

Yep! Thanks for doing the pbp Vance. :D

 

Nice hook.

Marshall is flithy today.

Yes. Thanks for the details. Nice to see williams with a 1-2-3 inning. And Barrett with a HR. And Hairston getting on base.

 

Williams is in the rotation, so getting him straightened out is big.

Nice hook.

 

No problem, but it ends in one hour when the LSU game begins.

Well, based on the announcers, that may have more to do with that Hernandez can't find the plate.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marshall ends the inning. C'mon Cubs!

 

How 'bout 4 K's and 2 IF groundouts.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Sanders leads off the second for the Royals with a walk.

[CubinNY]

Harden is dealing too.

[Outshined_One]

Apparently Harden could drop the ball on the ground and kick it towards the plate...and Jock would still swing at it.

[Omar]

Jones strikes out. 1 down.

[CuseCubFan69]

I don't like the way Jones swings. It's like he closes his eyes and swings his bat and has no idea where the ball is going.

[abuck1220]

williams needs a good outing today. wonder if he's looking over his shoulder with the youngsters pitching so well.

 

by the way, walker drives a sweet mustang.
