3/9ST: s/s Cubs @ TX & SD @ Cubs, 2:05CT, CSN Chicago

[98navigator]

No problem

Howry has looked real good this spring, no?

 

He's been decent but I expect him to be ON when the season starts.

[CubColtPacer]

Cedeno with the only hit of the top of the third for the Cubs against Texas-Ben Howard is in to pitch in the bottom of the 3rd. Still 5-4 Cubs.

 

Did Cotts make it two whole innnings? I am hoping that Lou doesn't have his heart set on Cotts making the team. He has looked horrible this spring.

 

Yeah, his line was

2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 0 BB, 1 K

 

I bet he makes the team, but only because the team needs a long reliever-it's probably better to stick Cotts there than waste Guzman in that spot.

7H/4ER in 2IP, they were all over him!

[UMFan83]

Go Sosa! Nice that he got a hit. Crappy that it was against the Cubs.

[CubColtPacer]

Howard set them down 1-2-3 (including Sosa). 5-4 Cubs over Texas at the end of 3.

[Guancous]

I look at Cotts as a reliever or a guaranteed 5.00 ERA starter. That's a huge improvement over the 7s and 9s we saw last year.

[salukifudd]

Howry 1-2-3 inning

Flyout

Groundout

Flyout to warning track

[Laura]

 

7H/4ER in 2IP, they were all over him!

 

The runs are unearned due to a Cedeno error.

Is it me or will our Iowa lineup look very similar to any 2006 lineup after May 1st?

[salukifudd]

Izzy with another walk, nice.

[salukifudd]

Lee with a High fly to center, Cameron loses it in the sun, second and third 0 outs

2 runs score

Aram on second

I think he's talking straight more right now that any other interview I've ever heard. quite critical, quite honest.

[salukifudd]

Jock goes 3-1

Walks

first and second

0 outs

What is he saying?

[salukifudd]

Barrett fly ball to left

no movement

1 out

[CubColtPacer]

Pie having a tough day-he's 0 for 3, and when he got on because of a fielder's choice, he gets picked off. It's 5-4 Cubs, middle of 4-Texas game.

[sethuel1]

3 walks in an inning for the cubs?

[Rob]

Coats:

 

Ball low and away (1-0)

Ball low (2-0)

Watches a strike low (2-1)

Ball low (3-1)

Strike outside (3-2)

Ball outside

 

Bases juiced, 1 out.

 

Is anybody else considering offering their firstborn to Gerald Perry yet?

 

Cameron out, Rakers (RHP) in.

[Rob]

3 walks in an inning for the cubs?

 

We did that in the 3rd, too.

 

Edit:

 

I seem to recall we pulled in 2.8 BB per game last year... just for contrast.

Walks

Bases loaded, 1 out

What is he saying?

 

Saying he understands Prior's hesitancy but he needs to let loose on the mound and show everyone at least a glimpse, of the pitcher he's been in his career.
