[A New Era]

Did you know:

 

Pagan is hitting .300/.363/.483/.846 since he returned from injury. (66 PA's)

 

EDIT: It also looks like he could benefit from abondoning the right side of the plate.

 

Woah. CARLOS BELTRAN Jr.!!!

Pat and Ron were just raving over a play made by Izturis..was it really anything to get excited about?

[ToupeeOnFire]

I'm kind of shocked that Dusty did the sensible thing and started Pagan in RF against a LHP.

It didn't look spectacular, he just moved quickly towards the second base bag to make the play. Showed some range, I guess.

[TruffleShuffle]

boooooooooooooo

[CubColtPacer]

We seem to always do that..even when we make the right move and start the runner we still hit it hard enough to get a ground ball double play.

[Sarcastic]

Prior had nothing left in the 6th. Why the hell didn't Dusty pull him when he walked the bases loaded?

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Murton goes deep. 5-3 Cubs leading.

[Laura]

yay, Murton!

He hadn't hit 100 pitches yet? Who knows...

[OBPMatters]

Dudes, I told you gingerkid should be agressive, Dudes.

[soccer10k]

Alright Murton.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wuertz is the best reliever on the team.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Digger has his TieLighter.

but man was his Spring Training horrible!!! ;) :x

So Dusty takes out a lefty, Ohman, and brings in a different lefty, Eyre, to face the left-handed hitting Duffy. And then takes him out after getting Duffy to bunt out.

 

Why not just leave in Ohman? Why potentially waste Eyre on one batter when Ohman only faced one batter the inning before?

 

Did Eyre get hurt or something?

Well, we decided to pinch-hit for Ohman the previous inning-that's why he was taken out.

Good thing he was in the minors all year, eh?

[soccer10k]

Nice, Barrett. I love it.

Plus, if you support the idea of Ohman as a LOOGY then Dusty used him correctly.

Oops. Thanks. Sorry.

 

I'm trying to follow along on Gameday today, and its really slow. It stops for several minutes and then jumps ahead. If you don't go back to read what happened, you wind up asking stupid questions like that one...

No problem..I certainly know how Gameday can be..yesterday I was happy when the Pirates had gotten a third out, and then Gameday changed its mind and the Pirates went on to score 2 or 3 runs. So it can be easily confusing sometimes.

Yeah, it just went back and showed Eyre facing Nate McLouth and giving up a HR to him. Before, it had him exiting after only facing Duffy. Strange.
