4/12 Cubs (Maddux) v.s. Reds (Claussen) 1:20 WGNTV and Radio

[jjgman21]

Barrett seriously is the best NL offensive catcher.

Brian Mcann

 

How do you figure?

I don't really. Maybe in a year or two if Salty doesn't take his job.

 

how many runs did Paul knock in today?

Yep but Michael can't catch anyday. Will he always knock in 3?

 

I'm not watching, so I don't know what your gripe is, but will there be a short hop play at the plate every day?

Barrett is a good hitter, but how many games has he just killed us? Like with the play at Philadelphia when he threw to third when he could have reached out to tag Rollins. I would trade Barrett for a number of catchers straight up.

 

Name some.

Victor Martinez

Joe Mauer

Jason Varitek

Ramon Hernandez

Javy Lopez

 

Javy Lopez? That's reaching. He's not really a catcher anymore.

 

nor was he ever good on defense, nor is he a better hitter than Barrett right now.

I take it Williamson is coming in since Walker is pinch hitting?

 

I thought Pat said Eyre was warming up. But I'm only listening with one ear right now.

 

Eyre is warming up, I didn't see Williamson, but I could've missed him.

 

Waker gets a single, Cedeno to third.

[CubinNY]

Walk with a pinch hit single.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Walkah...Texas Ranger.

 

Come on Pierre!

Yeah. Williamson was warming up during the top of the 6th.

Maybe....I thought I saw Williamson.

[CubinNY]

Williamson was warming up in the top half. I guess Dusty decided to set him down.

Here, I made a Barrett thread.

Is Pierre capable of hitting the ball off the ground?

[illiniguy]

Is Pierre capable of hitting the ball off the ground?

Ha does he have a noninfield hit yet, besides the triple?

[CuseCubFan69]

I would rather see that then up in the air.

[Sarcastic]

Eyre in for Maddux.

[USSoccer]

Has there been any mention on the broadcast about the severity of Aramis' injury?

[ToupeeOnFire]

I love Maddux, but I hate how he isn't much good after 80 or so pitches.

[Omar]

Just came home. Great to see they're winning this time.

[Mizzou]

Why does it seem like in 2003 Pierre was on base ALL the time against us, creating havoc and NEVER grounding out to anyone, but now he weakly grounds out ALOT to everyone?

 

Because he really wasn't that big a factor in the 2003 NLCS?

Huh? He had a great series.

 

.303/.343, 1 for 4 in SBs (25%).

 

He had a good series, but the effect he had on the NLCS has been overstated.

Yeah, I guess "great" was stretching it. But still, a leadoff hitter with a 343 OBP in a championship series certainly had a good amount of impact on the series.

[Jon]

Has there been any mention on the broadcast about the severity of Aramis' injury?

It's still day-to-day. He's probably 50/50 for tomrrow.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Does Eyre have something on his hat? Besides the writing, that is.

[Sarcastic]

Has there been any mention on the broadcast about the severity of Aramis' injury?

 

Before the game there was a recording of some questioning of O'Neil, I think, and he said that Ramirez was day to day, and they'd see how he was when they went to Pittsburgh.

[CubinNY]

Has there been any mention on the broadcast about the severity of Aramis' injury?

 

Not really. They said he was day-to-day.

 

Nice pitching to Hattiburg by Eyer.

[Andy]

Has there been any mention on the broadcast about the severity of Aramis' injury?

Day-to-day.

[Omar]

Pagan catches the second out. Who gets the stretch?

[CuseCubFan69]

You and your crazy statistics!

[da bears]

Gotta love it when the WGN cameras find the hot women in the crowd. And good inning by Eyre.

So he's likely going to sit tomorrow?

 

I'm less than impressed with his offseason conditioning program. That and Mark O'Neal and the rest of the staff that can't make sure their guys stretch properly.
