He's alright, but he's no Mark Buehrle. :wink:

So the Cubs have a pitcher on the ropes, and the next two batters decide to swing at the first pitches they see? Interesting approach. Come on Maddux.

Are you guys really ignoring the fact that they "got the pitcher on the ropes" in large part by swinging at his first pitch?

 

Hitters with a threat to do something swung early, that doesn't excuse guys like Neifi and Blanco being overly aggressive.

 

Were they good pitches to hit or not? That's all I care about.

 

Considering they were pitches thrown by a human, I doubt they were good ones to hit for Neifi and Blanco.

 

This suggest that either of them MAY be able to hit from a machine (ie batting cage) which is simply preposterous.

You guys are out of line. I'm sure there are a lot of T-Ball teams out there that would love to have Neifi on their team.

Lots of XBH thus far today

[Brian]

RONNY!

[goonys evil twin]

Is this dude from Mitchell & Ness (oh wait, nice hit John) reading his praise of McDonough and the Cubs off a teleprompter? His voice/tone just sounds so odd. He's like a 7th grader reading aloud in class.

[alroy88]

the brewers are finally showing why they're the brewers

[Mark_R]

Stupid Cedeno, only getting a single.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno bunted to third for a single, Pierre to third

[BeerHere]
