4/18 Cubs (Z) at Braves (Davies) 6:35 p.m. CT CSN+

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm OK with that lineup

 

GO CUBS!!!

[BigSlick]

I'm satisfied with the lineup but can we please STOP TROTTING OUT JACQUE JONES OR CLIFF FLOYD OVER MATT MURTON

 

IT DOESN'T TAKE A BRAIN SURGEON TO REALIZE THAT MURTON NEEDS TO BE IN THIS LINEUP.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Floyd over Murton isn't a bad decision sometimes, but Jones over Murton sucks.

[CubmanPi]

Lou's philosophy regarding Ohman is that the guy needs to get more playing time so he's gonna keep handing him the ball and letting him figure it out. He's also big on going with the guys who are getting it done, which, statistically, is pretty sound in how he's approaching Murton and his playing time. I can't think of specifc examples from last season, but it seems Murton has managed to find his way on the short end of double standards since he's been up.

Floyd over Murton isn't a bad decision sometimes, but Jones over Murton sucks.

Agreed.

[CubmanPi]

Also, I definitely like the lineup. If KoJock and little Cezar can take the night off from being automatic outs, life could be good.

Lou just said in the pregame that Z may have to go longer than normal (he was talking about pitch count). Let's hope Z is efficient.

[BigSlick]

I think Murton should be in this lineup daily, either at RF or LF, but no doubt he needs to be on the field more.

I predict Zambrano begins his march toward the Cy Young and a great contract with Yankees tonight

Maybe Hendry can step n and make a decision for Lou, I.E. DESIGNATING OHMAN FOR ASSIGNMENT

Agreed.

Anyone else using gameday audio get a message saying that their subscription from '06 wasn't renewed? I just bought the package at the beginning of this season, and now it looks like they're going to try to make me pay again for the '07 season, even though that's what I bought. :evil: :evil:

That choir sure beats the heck out of an old man doing that wobbly voice thing during the entire anthem.

[DurbanJer]

ugh, braves announcers already annoy me

[Chocolate Milk]

Wow, just saw the replay of Pie's throw yesterday. That was a bullet. Nuts.

[seanimal]

I'm jealous of Vance. I hope his presence can turn Z around.

[seanimal]

Wow, just saw the replay of Pie's throw yesterday. That was a bullet. Nuts.

 

Lets hope he showed Z how to throw strikes in the meantime.

[inari]

Come on Felix, get a first inning rally going!

[mdwilla]

Pie taking Davies deep in the count.

[98navigator]

[RichHillIsABeast]
