4/25 Marlins (Willis) @ Cubs (Marshall) 7:05 PM CSN Chicago

I'm only listening on the radio, but you can't expect a good throw if the runner gets a huge jump. The catcher has to just get it off as quickly as possible and accuracy becomes less of a concern. It's the only way that he has a chance of throwing the runner out.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

this is a good game to pitch in. it's pretty hard to hit it out to left and center b/c of the wind. if you get in a jam, just serve it up down the middle.

Barrett made a decent throw (Not great in any way), but the base was pretty much already stolen, only a perfect throw would have gotten him, although Hairston did pull a pretty nifty tag attempt.

 

Neifury would have used his Matrix abilities to stop time and thus stopping Hanley an inch before the bag while tagging him out.

 

8)

I'd argue that that one was on the Rookie.

 

it was. but the throw still sucked.

 

Even if Marshall would have used a slide step that throw wouldn't have gotten Rameriz.

 

Michael does that a lot. His arm gets ahead of his body and his throws rise.

 

As long as he hits like he has I don't care.

[ToupeeOnFire]

It'd be nice if we could get our speed aboard to lead off an inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre grounded out to second, 4-3

[Brian]

Nate-Dog Vasher in the house! (for the stretch)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno grounded out to short, 6-3

[badger1679666666]

How much did slapnasty's first slap miss the line by?

[CubinNY]

Rameriz is going to be a very good shortstop for a very long time.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Nate-Dog Vasher in the house! (for the stretch)

Cool!

[cubweiser03]

damn too quick

[Brian]

doh. Marshall please have an inning like that.

[Balsa]

Well, at least we're making good contact....I guess keep that up and one will drop in for a hit....

[badger1679666666]

Where is everyone? This place is dead.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

hello, earth to cubs. take some pitches.

[Fred Hornkohl]

How much did slapnasty's first slap miss the line by?

 

I'd guess about 6 to 8 inches.

[Andy]

One hit combined in this game and it was almost called an error.

[Jon]

Nate-Dog Vasher in the house! (for the stretch)

75% chance he mentions "Bear weather."

[Balsa]

hello, earth to cubs. take some pitches.

 

I disagree, Walker and Pierre both had solid contact in those at bats, Dontrelle is just throwing strikes.

[badger1679666666]

hello, earth to cubs. take some pitches.

 

Dude, that was grooved down the middle, Walker isn't going to get much better of a pitch to hit and Hanley robbed Cedeno up the middle. They weren't bad swings, just because they were early.

[Omar]

Good play by Hairston.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cabrera grounded out to second, 4-3

[Brian]

the '06 Cubs have as many '03 Marlins as the '06 Marlins.

 

the '06 Marlins have as man '03 Cubs as the '03 Cubs. (active roster)

 

(^ I'M WRONG, cubs have 2 from '03, marlins only have 1 '03 Cub.. unless you want to count Welley)
