Bruce Miles speculates that it is 50-50 that Dusty comes back and the thread dies.

 

I would try to say something encouraging right now, but I'm too depressed.

 

Ditto.

 

OK, it's 50-50 that he's NOT coming back.

 

It'll come down to whatever Hendry's gut tells him to do.

So the Cubs are going to sign a cheeseburger in the offseason?

I'm on gameday. What happened?

 

Corey Hart was about 2 feet away from a PH grand slam. Jacque caught it against the wall.

The bad ohman almost gave up a HR by a few feet.

 

Jones caught it on the warning track.

Izturis has been a more patient hitter than I expected him to be. He seems to either hit a strike in play in the first 2-3 pitches or have a pretty deep count, at least so far.

 

He's seeing 3.39 pitches per plate appearance, so he's the least patient Cub besides Neifi Perez.

 

Just sayin.

 

Well, that's what I'm saying. I was expecting a very impatient hitter because of his low P/PA. However, he tends to either hit a lot of strikes early in the count-but if he gets past a couple pitches, he tends to work the count very well. For a person with a low P/PA, he seems to have a pretty good command of the strike zone, and uses that as he gets deeper in the count.

 

So he's a very patient hitter, except in the at bats that he's not patient.

But, no matter what, everyone needs to know that this is JIM HENDRY'S decision-he wants that to be very clear. This is his decision. And his decision only.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its his decision. Just so we're clear.

FWIW, he's at 3.51 if you include today.

Even though I think you are being sarcastic, I will answer. He seems to have the old pinch hitter strategy-hit the first fastball you get, and if you don't hit that, then work the count, be patient, and wait for another good pitch. Izturis seems to have this philosophy all the time.
