4/26 Marlins (Olsen) @ Cubs (Guzman) 1:20 PM WGN TV

[LoneStarCubFan]

It's the top of the sixth, why is the infield in?

[Choonch]

if they are going to misplay...at least keep the ball in front of you. We could have lived w/a single.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Our two useless outfielders may have just allowed the game-winning run.

 

what happened???

[E.J.]

Pierre gets on base for what seems like the first time in a year and then gets thrown out stealing 2nd on the very next pitch. :x

 

you realize the difference between his OBP and a respectable OBP of .350 is about 1 hit every 4 games and 2 walks over the season so far, right?

 

Yeah, I think you said that in the Pierre thread in Baseball Discussions. Doesn't make it any better. Less than .300 OBP is not good.

 

Nope, it still sucks, but what you notice isn't the best indicator of performance.

 

And what so far has indicated that Pierre has been good so far this season? What is a good indicator of performance? I'm pretty sure most will say OBP is a good indicator of performance, especially for a leadoff man.

[Jon]

Pierre cut down stealing. Good throw.

 

Darn cold weather...

 

moran.

 

not nice to call posters names

 

and pointing that out wasn't directed at a certain poster? get real.

Stop it.

You do realize that same excuse can be used for just about every player with crappy stats? It doesn't mean a thing.

 

And? I wasn't excusing his stats, just pointing out that "for what seems like the first time in a year" is a ridiculous statement.

Big difference between insulting someone and pointing out the member guidelines.

[KatJ]

Did they collide?

 

No, they just politely waited for the other one to call for it - ball fell right in between them and away for a (edited by the poster) TRIPLE. :x :x :x

This outing by Gooz really makes me appreciate what Marshall has done thus far.

 

Compare to Carlos Zambrano's MLB debut, Gooz's outing looks like an All Star.

 

Doesn't lessen my point however.

 

 

your point doesn't make any sense...

 

marshall gave up four runs in four and a third against the cards in his first start...and now guzman gives up three in five innings...and you appreciate marshall more than guzman?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Treanor struck out swinging

[Blueheart05]

Big strike out for Novoa.

Now children, play nice.

[E.J.]

Novoa with a big K there.

[ToupeeOnFire]

what happened???

Flyball to right center. Pierre and Jock look at one another (about 5 feet apart) as the ball drops between them. Should have been an easy out.

[soccer10k]

That K was huge.

He has less than 100 AB. he's 7/8 stealing with no errors in the field. Ease up. some players just don't start out hot. let's string aramis up while we're at it.

Don't make me come back there!

[Coach C]

Come on Nova! Strike this clown out!

[soccer10k]

I still can't believe that we have 1 hit through 5 innings.

[BeerHere]

Get em Novoa! Pick up your teammates.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Novoa~! Way to recover.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Nice job Novoa!

[Coach C]

*whew*

[Andy]

Novoa gets out of it! Nice work. 2-3-4 due up.
