08/13 CUBS (Marmol) @ Colorado (Kim) 2:05 CDT, WGN TV, XM188

[sethuel1]

Matt Holliday tags up and goes from first to second on a fly ball to center.

 

And Holliday promptly scores on a single.

 

If defense is so important to Hendry, how does he explain away runs that Pierre's arm has cost the Cubs?

 

The one that really did it for me was the game earlier this year where Damian Miller tagged and went to second on a flyball to center that didn't even make the warning track.

 

Damian Miller.

Coming into the game he had a .879 OPS.

True, he's still not close to where I'd like him, but he's slowly moving that way. Hopefully this will continue and he'll turn out well.

Yep. Despite his wretched beginning of the season, he's about at his 40th percentile PECOTA projection, so he hasn't quite put up the numbers expected of him, but he's headed in the right direction. Even if he cools off a little bit, he should end up doing about what was expected of him before the season started.

Kim singled to center field
