How has Negron done tonight besides the double? He seems to be on fire since coming over to the Cubs.

[Outshined_One]

Now we do the happy dance.

 

OY OY OY!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Woohoo, yay Moore!

 

P.S. I think Nathan is checking this thread over the broadcast, because he's really quick with the updates on the West Tenn game. :P

[Chris]

They're to the bottom of the 9th. Jaxx up 6-4, Rapada in the nail it down.

[Chris]

I believe Negron is 2-4 with a pair of doubles. If so, his average is around .400.

[Chris]

Rapada looking for his 21st save

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Leadoff single for Dope!

 

On a side note, has anyone else been pleasantly surprised by his OBP this season?

 

Yes. But disappointed with his SLG so far.

[Chris]

Rapada with a sweeping curve for the K for the first out

[Outshined_One]

Yes. But disappointed with his SLG so far.

 

I think it'll come around. If his plate discipline really has improved this much, he will eventually start getting those XBHs we've come to know and love from him. :D

[Chris]

Strike 3 called for the 2nd out

 

If the Jaxx win, it will be their first win when trailing after 8 (Ron)

[TXCubsFan]

Leadoff single for Dope!

 

On a side note, has anyone else been pleasantly surprised by his OBP this season?

 

Seems to be a trend among Cub propects. Pie, Patterson, and Dope have improve their OBP-BA spread this year. Perhaps Cubs management understands the issue but is unwilling to acknowledge their (subtle) shift in public.
