4/28 Cubs (Maddux) vs Beermakers (Bush) 1:20 PM CSN/WGN

[Jon]

Here's a question for the statheads...should he get credit for successfully stealing the base? He technically was safe at 2nd for an instance, successfully swiping the bag. It was what happened after he successfully reached 2nd base that got him out. I think it's offcially scored caught stealing, but I think he did meet the qualifications for getting credit for stealing the base.

I'm fine with it getting ruled a CS because being able to slide effectively is part of the base stealing attempt. It's not a real CS for the catcher, but the runner doesn't deserve credit for the SB.

I don't think we should be stealing here.

Dont send Ronny

[Fred Hornkohl]

Shaky but effective.

 

Insurance runs, please.

 

Can anyone confirm that Ohman is indeed still alive? He's gone a week without pitching.

 

Glendon ate him.

The last time I recall seein Ohman was when Ponson was pitching...

 

Ohman's last appearance was last Friday in St. Louis.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno took second base on a wild pitch

[AI]

"good time for cedeno to go" - Ron... has he been watching the game?

 

And when he gets caught, Ronnie will provide this insight...

 

"Gah...jeeez...oh boy...sheeeeeez"

 

That's are brilliant color man.

[soccer10k]

There we go, he got to second anyway.

[Andy]

Wacky thought: Ronny leading off?

[BeerHere]

Walker was taking 3-0

I don't think he'd be a bad option next year, might as well stick with JP for now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker walked

[Flames24Rulz]

Walker lives up to his name :)

 

1st and 2nd for ARam.

[Brian]

let's go aram!

Shaky but effective.

With the workhorse Eyre around to face lefties, I doubt he'll be around much longer.

Eyre's the setup man, though. We'd still need a LOOGY.

I'll take a very good righthanded pitcher to face lefties over Will Ohman to face anybody. No specific names in mind, but it warrants mentioning.

Ohman may not have looked good so far, but he's only thrown 5 IP. He had a 2.91 ERA last season and a .590 OPS against lefties. It's way to soon to give up on him.

Right now, I like Ronny in the 2 hole until Lee gets back, and maybe after. We'll see how he does.

An Aramasingle would be nice right here. Edited April 28, 2006 by ToupeeOnFire

[BeerHere]

Come on ARAM!!!! Need a hit here.

 

Another double would be nice

[soccer10k]

Double to left center is my prediction for ARam.

Until he starts taking more walks, I don't think he should be a permanent fixture at the top of the order - he's on fire right now, and I love the kid, but he could stand to be a little more selective, as he won't always be on a hot streak.

How 'bout an Aramalamadingdog ????

[BeerHere]

Give him the green light 3-1

[frostwyrm]

What do you do with Pierre in the meantime? He's absolutely worthless if he's not leading off.

[Flames24Rulz]

ARam walks. Bases loaded for Murt.

[Jon]

Very nice AB. Love the patience.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez walked, Cedeno to third, Walker to second
