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

[Post Count Padder]

Hank White flies out

[Derwood]

if flipping the order is the best case scenario of jones' hit, then our expectations are dangerously low for this lineup

[ToupeeOnFire]

Ha, Cubs are 6th in runs, obp and slg.

 

 

666 :shock:

That explains a lot.

[98navigator]

Miller out 4-3

[Post Count Padder]

Inning over

With Cedeno, Blanco and Miller at the bottom of the order, that is correct.

[seanimal]

Wade Miller = Most productive player on the Padres.

[Derwood]

if wer'e going to score runs, it's going to be with the 1-5 guys

Well, he said it after the Cedeno at-bat. When you have one out and your have your backup glove first catcher and the pitcher up, there isn't much hope there.

[C.C.]

Top of the order next inning! Miller hold them! PLEASE! We'll score more runs..

[DiamondMind]

Are we ever going to hit a HR?

 

Did you see yesterday's game?

 

You're counting that game? It was against a struggling Hensley and the Pads landed in Chicago at 6 that morning, and obviously could care about as little as a professional can about that game.

 

Its the same old stuff with the Cubs. Nothing or everything.

I know he hasn't gotten a ton of AB's, but Cedeno is hitting .077?? Ouch.

Yes. And so does the record books.

counts in the stats and the standings, so yes, I do count that game

I don't get why you'd want to play 16" over the "girl" softball. It's closer to real baseball.

 

I really don't find it to be much like baseball. In fact, I'd prefer to play actual baseball over any form of softball. The 12" league down here, I'm not sure how it is anywhere else, starts each AB with a strike and a ball already against you. I hate that. I just think that 16" is way more fun. I'm biased though, I grew up playing it.

 

Well yeah, I'm not trying to say it's as good as the real thing. But choosing between 16" with no gloves and playing 12" with gloves I'll take the chance to play actual defense, as well as being able to hit the ball some distance(I'm not a power hitter so I can't fall in love with the long ball).

The lineup has 4 backups in it today, so maybe you're right

[Banedon]

Time to guess how many runs Miller gives up in the 3rd inning.

 

I'll say 2.

[98navigator]

The Padres aren't televising this game?

 

Cubs fans have it easy...

[Soriano12]

Milller gives up 3 more this inning.

[98navigator]

MILLER SUCKS. THAT BALL WAS ON A TEE

[YearofDaCubs]

Leave it to Miller to get Cameron out of his slump. This guy is terrible.

[Post Count Padder]

Oh geez, leadoff double

[Derwood]

leadoff double.

 

MILLER IS GETTING TAGGED

[Moonlight Graham]

God Miller sucks.
