4/17 Cubs (Miller) vs. Fathers (Maddux), 1:20 pm CT, WGN

[beowulf28]

THIS IS ON OHMAN :x :x :x :x :x :x

Don't you think it should be on whoever's bright idea it was to make room on the roster for Pie while deciding that both Ohman and Cedeno needed to stay?

 

There were so many people that should have been sent down before Guzman.

 

Yeah, why was Guzman sent down again?

 

He pitched two innings yesterday and he was sent down *presumably* to get stretched out for a newly opening spot in the rotation.

 

Thanks!

[Derwood]

I'm not going back 50 or so pages but somebody called an Ohman loss haha. Wow.

 

I believe many of us knew it was over as soon as Ohlman got up in the bullpen. With the trade of Neifi Perez, Ronny Cedeno is clearly the worst hitter in the Cubs orgainzation, I don't it close.

 

at the rate the cubs offense was going, ohman would have had to throw about 7 more shutout innings

[seanimal]

I'm calling a Rocky Cherry call-up for tomorrow. Cedeno down.

[98navigator]

Why didn't we pinch hit Z?

 

Because if the game is tied there's no one to pay SS. Izturis PH earlier.

 

Marquis, Pie, Zambrano across the outfield

 

Ramirez, Theriot, DeRosa, Jones across the infield.

 

I don't see Marquis playing OF

 

You don't? What do you think was going to happen if we tied the game?

 

Marquis, Pie, Jones

Ramirez, Cedeno, Theriot, DeRosa

 

Marquis at 1B-- maybe

[CubmanPi]

Class ended during the 12th inning, and last time I got in the car during a Cubs game was Z's 5th inning meltdown, so I stuck around to listen and make vocab flashcards until the game was over.

 

Within thirty seconds of Ohman's entry into the game, I came across the words for both useless and trash. Hardly a coincidence.

I'm calling a Rocky Cherry call-up for tomorrow. Cedeno down.

 

Cherry up Ohman down. Send him packing

[98navigator]

on The Score they just said, Lou wanted to keep Guzman andput Sori on the DL but was overruled. :x :x :x :x :x

THIS IS ON OHMAN :x :x :x :x :x :x

Don't you think it should be on whoever's bright idea it was to make room on the roster for Pie while deciding that both Ohman and Cedeno needed to stay?

 

Cedeno is the backup utility player. He's fine. Ohman just sucks!!!! I wanted him gone but I was fine with Guz going down because it sets up for him to be stretched out... In light of 14 innings and a burned through bullpen, it was the wrong move. Clearly.

 

Ohman is not endearing himself to anyone.

 

Cedeno is anything but fine. He doesn't have a bat and he routinely misplays easy groundballs at short. Fontenot would be a much better backup than Ronny is.

[seanimal]

I'm calling a Rocky Cherry call-up for tomorrow. Cedeno down.

 

Cherry up Ohman down. Send him packing

 

It seems to me that Cedeno is more of a detriment to this team's performance than Ohman's. He pitched decently. One run over two innings is not bad. Not his fault Jones can neither catch nor throw.

He's fine for what he does. ideally, you won't see him too much. He's the backup's backup

Pretty sure Jones has played 1B before. I think that Marquis would've went out in LF. Needless to say, we'll never know.

Hendry sucks. Guzman BETTER BE DOWN THERE TO GET STRETCHED OUT!

[YearofDaCubs]

on The Score they just said, Lou wanted to keep Guzman andput Sori on the DL but was overruled. :x :x :x :x :x

Why wouldnt they put Soriano on the DL? I would think they would want Soriano to rest the hammy a bit more but I guess Hnedry feels different about that.

So what exactly is he good for? His BA that is hovering around .050? His inability to take walks? His ability to take strike 3 right down the middle for the final out?

 

I defended him last year, a bunch. But he just looks so clueless at the plate.

[Brian]

It's going to feel even better when Soriano doesn't play for 15 days +

Oh christ.

If Guzman isn't starting in 10 days at the ML level, this is just another example of Hendry having no ability to properly manage the 25 man roster.

One run over 2IP is fine for a starter with more innings to go. A reliever doesn't have that luxury.

My thoughts exactly.

I can't wait until new ownership fires him.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Lou is going to kill someone. I'm absolutely convinced of that.

[CubmanPi]

Exactly. Hendry of all people should know that if 7-10 days is the initial prognosis, 15 is almost a guarantee. He may not think that Cedeno or Ohman qualify as wastes of a roster spot, but now Sori certainly does.

that angers me

Not much. I defended him as well, but at this point he has no business be on a Major League club not named the Royals.

so how many games will the cubs go with a short pen? Edited April 17, 2007 by Derwood
