3/8ST-Cubs (Miller) v Pads (Maddux) 2:05CT, XM177

[RichHillIsABeast]

Awesome. :x

[AlwaysaCub]

Well actually, that was some< awful> luck. HBP, error, and Strikeout/WP? That's some way to load the bases.

[sweetpeteman]

Error, HBP, WP, Grand Slam... great job Woody.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Well, that certainly sucked.

No swearing please.

[sweetpeteman]

Walker AB, 2 outs, none on:

 

Strike out.

[sweetpeteman]

Bottom 4:

 

WOOD in to pitch

 

Blum: Error 6, on 1st

Kouzmanoff: HBP, Blum to 2nd

McAnulty: K

Robles: Fly out, 7

LaFore?: K, to first on WP

Sledge: Grand Slam

Walker: K

 

5 - 5 tie.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Yes it might be tough luck way to load the bases but you still get paid at this level to get out of those situations.

Watch the language. They try and keep it as "family safe" as possible around here.

[Soul]

I guess on Chicago Tribune Live tonight Woody's career will be over too.

[98navigator]

The error didn't help but he was wild too. Luckily, it's still ST.

[cheapseats]

I would just prefer to see Pie split time with Jones while Floyd or Ward act as 1st PH out of the dugout. And with Pagan in the mix someone is going to rot on the bench anyway. Since Ward plays 1b, I think he actually fits better than Pagan or Floyd.

 

If Pie split time with Jones, who would start against lefties? Pie is about as bad against lefties as Jones is. Pie's OPS was exactly 200 points higher against righties in Iowa last year.

 

I'd rather have just about anybody than Pagan, though.

Yeah, watch the language kid

[Jerry Mumphrey]

Not what you want to see out of a closer.

I mean, come on!

Not what you want to see out a reliever either.

[ToupeeOnFire]

The grand slam was disappointing, but the 3 strike outs were encouraging.

Start the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[woodchip2153]

I love it when Beer Here starts having conversations with himself.

[AlwaysaCub]

Sorry about my profanity guys. It was certainly a shi-wait-darn awful move on my part.

[sweetpeteman]

Top 5:

 

Meredith in to Pitch

 

Ward AB:

 

Pitch 1: Ball

Pitch 2: Foul

Pitch 3: Foul

Pitch 4: Ground out, 3

[C.C.]

Do you want a bench of only kids from the farm?

No. No. No. Pie needs regular ABs. His bat hasn't caught up to the rest of his game and it's not going to get better with irregular ABs in Wrigley.

 

Pie splitting time is the worst idea.

:help:

That's what I was thinking-he seemed to have pretty good stuff (if wild) and that's really the only huge thing to take out of a spring game pitching wise.
