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

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Grissom does what he does best and makes an out. Side retired. Mid 4, Cubs 6, Royals 2.

[Jon]

It'll sure be nice when he rediscovers his control.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Hairston singles. Perez doubles. Hairston holds at third.

 

Runners on second and third, one out.

 

That Perez guy is 3-3 ?? :shock: He should start, eh?

 

Around 140 times Fred.

 

I boldly predict that, barring trades & injuries, Neifi doesn't strart more than 25 games.

 

That does seem pretty bold. I mean, from a quick scan of game logs, Macias had 24 starts last year.

[Outshined_One]

Ump's not giving Gooz that outside corner.

[Omar]

Pitcher's Best friend!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

another DP. love it.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Sanders gets a lead-off single.

Remember, Neifi doesn't play nearly as many positions as Gremlin.

 

edit: If memory serves, about 2/3 of Macias' starts last year only came about because at least 2 starters were out of the lineup.

Was that fastball clocked at 99 mph?!

[Jon]

Boy is it nice to be able to watch a healthy Marshall and a healthy Guzman on the same day.

[Omar]

Good inning by Gooz, as it's over.

Excellent work after the leadoff walk, Senor Guzman.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Sanders steals second.

The strikeout? I thought I saw 96. He hit 97 in that inning, I believe, but I don't think I saw anything higher than that.

missed that. i'll have to watch this game over on archived MLB.TV and make sure.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Stairs K's. One out.

[CubinNY]

Sanders steals second.

 

How many stolen bases is that for them today.

 

Barrett better hit, b/c he is a liability behind the plate.

[RammyFanny]

Guzman hitting 99 and 96 on the strikeout. Healthy at last?? :D

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Remember, Neifi doesn't play nearly as many positions as Gremlin.

 

Well, he had 18 starts on the infield last year, 8 in the outfield(the games started breakdown would have been nice to find before I went through the game log), and Neifi plays more positions in the infield.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Berroa lines a single to RF.

 

Sanders scores. Ball gets away from Barrett and Berroa goes to second.

 

6-3 Cubs.

Wow, good stuff.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Gordon flies out. 2 down.

The pitch right before strike three is the one I'm talking about. It was 96 for the K pitch.
