[MeatampPotatoesMan]

If we'd have just batted Z 5th like I wanted, we might have won, but nooooooooooo, someone had the crazy idea of batting him last.

Wellemeyer still on this team? :shock: :wink:

[fishbulb]

I thought Wellemeyer was traded yesterday, how did he give up a home run?

Yeah, gotta be a mistake.

 

edit: I wonder if this Watson guy was wearing Wellemeyer's number ???

[fishbulb]

it is just like ex-Cub pitchers to come in and give up a homer. sheesh.

Yeah, he must have because Watson gave it up.

sorry if this is a stupid question, but why did Zambrano hit if it was a Angels home game and the Angels used a DH?

It's not stupid. They changed the rules this ST. The Cubs were playing under NL rules because they want their pitchers to get hits this close to Opening Day.

{The Angles used the DH) They used the DH earlier in the Spring.

[fishbulb]

oh...okay.

 

I haven't been paying as much attention as I usually do. Thanks.

Because Z is one of our top offensive threats.

[jjgman21]

with his performance today, Mark Watson has overtaken Bran Corey for worst ERA on the team.
