    HOME RUNS:  SD - GEOFF BLUM (1) OFF WADE MILLER IN THE 2ND

[cheapseats]

Ward hit .350/.438/.633/1.072 as a pinch hitter last year. That made him arguably the best pinch hitter in MLB. Cubs pinch hitters hit .216 last year.

 

 

Yeah, and Neifi hit .371/.400/.548 in 62 ABs for us in 2004. Isn't he considered the worst hitter in the majors now?

 

I fully expect Ward to regress from last year's numbers. But Ward has always hit righthanders well, and the Cubs team is very heavy on RH batters.

 

And who exactly is he blocking?

[sweetpeteman]

Dope in the ondeck circle

[BeerHere]

Brian Dop-ree-ak :D

[sweetpeteman]

Izturis, runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs:

 

Pitch 1: Ball

Pitch 2: Foul, runners going

Pitch 3: Foul

Pitch 4: Foul

Pitch 5: Fly out to right, Coats advances

He's been down there for all of Spring Training. Someone really needs to get a muzzle down there.

Is it Bill Plaschke?

...... and speaking of non sequetors.........

 

I'm just saying small-sample stats like that don't prove anything, least of all a propensity for "clutchiness". Did Ward just decide to suck on the games he started?

He's not. It's a a total non-issue.

Mike "Quayde" coaching third and "Sinatro" coaching first while Brian "Dopriak" is up and Adny Masur has been with the Cubs "last year and all the years before"...

 

:lol:

[FloridaCubbie]

Was that Woo Woo I heard? Someone get the duct tape.

hah, "we've got an enthusiastic guy here some place"

[AlwaysaCub]

Ronnie Woo Woo is giving a shout-out to himself.

[98navigator]

Now they're talking about Woo Woo's big mouth! :lol:

[Balsa]

Hahahaha, Masur doesn't much like Woo Woo.

 

Just compared him to that crazy astronaut.

Ward has a career that backs up his role as a quality pinch hitter. Neifi does not. It's not even close to being an example of sample size with Ward.

 

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