4/8 Cubs/Dead Birds 1:20 CSN, Z!/Carp

[rawaction]

error by Cedeno = 2 runs for Cards.

 

Defense matters.

 

error by Lee = only reason Cedeno made an error in the inning.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Inning should be long over. I can see how that would take a lot out of a pitcher.

Unfortunately, it is so predictable. More often than not, Zambrano lets that stuff get to him.

[Vinestal]

game over

 

I really never can understand comments like these with 4 more offensive innings coming up.

 

What have we done with the previous 5 that would give you any hint that we would score in the next 4?

Defense matters.

 

errors by Cedeno and LEE = 2 runs for the Cards.

 

Let's cut the Bums. Both of em.

 

(Convenient to only single out Ronny).

 

I'm sorry. Has Lee proven that he's an elite defense 1B over the years? Ronny hasn't. Lee's errors are a fluke. Cedeno's are not.

[Jon]

What did Z do? All he did after the error on Lee was get a ground ball, give up a walk, give up a bloop single, walk a batter intentionally, and then strike out a guy. That's not exactly losing control.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Thank-kent that inning is over.

But Carpenter will not be pitching a compete game. And the Cubs offense has been pretty good over the first 3 games.

If you're going to do that, can we acknowledge that Cedeno's error is a result of a bad call(albeit one forced by a poor throw)?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Z should be pissed.

Lee's error put the runner in scoring position. Cedeno's error wouldn't have led to a run, and possibly wouldn't have led to Zambrano losing it.

[Outshined_One]

Took Z long enough to get Carpenter...

 

Lee-Rammy-Jones are due up. Time to get those runs back.

It wasn't a bad call. I wish it was.

[Guancous]

The Cardinals bullpen is the weakest it has been in years. There is plenty of time left and Carpenter has thrown plenty of pitches. Let's not give him another notch on his Cy Young resume.

true, but his ERROR certainly also led to the 2 runs. We aren't talking about which one is a better defensive player. You singled out one error in that inning and said that led to 2 runs. That's disingenious. BOTH errors led to the two runs. In fact if Lee doesn't make the error, Cedeno's doesn't lead to a run, and the hit doesn't score rolen from 1st.

Well the previous 3 games have shown me we CAN score 2 runs.

[soccer10k]

I'm calling a home run by Jacque this inning. I don't know why. I just am.

Lee struck out swinging

You're enjoying riling them up...

 

Don't deny it. :wink:

[UMFan83]

Jeckell and Hyde Cubs. Great one day, bad the next.

[Outshined_One]

In other news, Lee has 2 errors on the season. That's not the best of ways to start things out.

What the hell kind of comment is that? Are you calling me a loser?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez popped out to second base

Lee will be fine as the season progresses.

[Guancous]

People, settle down. It's only two runs. It's not like the top of the 9th already.
