5/26: Cubs (Zambrano) VS: Braves (Hudson) - 1:20 P.M.- WGN

[Fred Hornkohl]

can we PLEASE move Ramirez back up to cleanup?

 

I would be happy to leave Barrett there for a while.

 

Percentage of baserunners driven in

 

thru 24 May   BDI    LOB       PCT

Barrett        15     50     0.231
Ramirez        14     64     0.179

Team          121    551     0.180

 

Ramirez is hot now, he's overwhelmingly likely to exceed those numbers. Plus, Barrett is soon to be suspended.

 

When he starts driving in baserunners, I'll be the first one on the bandwagon.

Freddie's gameday photo tells me one thing:

 

He's happy as heck and completely shocked that he's on a major league roster.

 

He looks like Ronnie Woo Woo.

It may be awhile.

 

Don't you need baserunners to drive them in. At least he's doing an above average job of driving in himself.

10 pitches??? Is that right? 37 for the first, 16 for the next 2.

maybe they got the optimist's heart started again. And here I had left him for dead....

[Fred Hornkohl]

You figure he can do that better from the 4th spot than the 6th, eh?

Maybe someone in the dugout stumbled onto this site.

More at bats. There only needs to be 3 additional baserunners to get him up there a 4th time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno grounded out to first, unassisted

[Derwood]

let's see Z go yard here. Or at least double

 

EDIT: he was trying on that swing. woo!

I'd settle for him not killing himself.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Zambrano struck out swinging

[CubinNY]

You have to love Z's hacks at the plate

 

He dosen't get cheated. He doesn't make contact much, but at least he doesn't get cheated.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre singled to center field

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'd settle for him not killing himself.

 

I'll take that K.

[Derwood]

hey Pierre, you missed the second baseman by about 10 feet. Try harder next time

[Mark Priors Calves]

here come .221 OBP in the 2 spot.

[Sammy Sofa]

Get ready for an epic bunt...

[Ding Dong Johnson]

:shock: :shock: :shock:

 

Slappy McCantHit just got a hit???

[Derwood]

I just don't have a problem giving that one extra at bat per week to Barrett.
