4/21 StLouis (Reyes) @ CUBS (Marquis), 2:55, FOX & XM187

[ToupeeOnFire]

Phew, got out of the inning before having to face the meat of the line-up, Preston Wilson and Gary Bennet.

 

True fact:

 

Preston Wilson is .287/.332/.619 in his career against the Cubs.

 

Gary Bennet is .294/.378/.471 in his career against the Cubs.

 

Both represent the highest OPS for each player against teams in which they have a significant number of at-bats.

[TruffleShuffle]

38 pitches for Reyes

51 pitches for Marquis

 

not surprising, given that the cards lineup is loaded with patient hitters and the cubs are a bunch of first-pitch hackers

 

That's part of it but Marquis has had some of those ground balls sneak by the INF defenders too. It's prolonged his innings.

 

that's not the biggest issue... cubs had seen fewer pitches per AB than the cards' hitters

[texascub]

Has Pie started a game in which he didn't make a web gem yet? I'm pretty sure he's been on there every night.

[Vinestal]

Felix needs to stay in CF based on defense alone.

 

This is how I feel, he might struggle to hit at first (I believe that will come in time) but his defense/range/arm makes him extremely valueable to have in there. He could become the best defensive CF in the NL.

[Careless]

please die, fox.

[98navigator]

OMG, don't break into my game to show ARod or anyone else. COME ON!

[Rob]

WTF!!!

 

I'd rather watch Lee's at bat than ARods!

[Fro]

Felix is a defensive machine in CF. 8-)

[InconspicuousZ28]

WTF!! They're going to the Yankees/Sox game because of freaking A-Rod's AB? Freaking please.

THX FOX

Where are you posting from today, Fred?

[98navigator]

DLee out 6-3

[Beligol]

please die, fox.

 

I see that the rest of you get to "enjoy" the Yankees-Red Sox game for a bit now.

[Careless]

this is totally incomprehensible. It's the 3rd inning. What's he chasing, most HR in april? Are they insane?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lee grounded out to short, 6-3

[E.J.]

Dan Pie is fast

 

Felix = Dan in English?

 

You didn't know that?

 

Heh, I didn't.

 

Felix sounds cooler.

 

I'm kidding. :D

[TruffleShuffle]

I love Felix Pie. I'm not afraid to say it. He gets incredible jumps out there.

 

He's definitely something special in the OF.

 

i don't think anyone would argue that he's not ready defensively... he's by far the best defensive outfielder in the system

[98navigator]

This is ridiculous, I don't care about the Yankees!!!!!!

[Rob]

Anybody figure out who to email to complain to fox yet?

[Post Count Padder]

This is ridiculous, I don't care about the Yankees!!!!!!

But it's the Yankees vs the Red Sox! :roll:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez grounded out to third, 5-3

[Butterscup1679666578]

I hate Fox right now.*

 

 

right now = always.

[98navigator]

I DON'T CARE ABOUT AROD WHEN I'M WATCHING THE CUBS. FOX SUCKS

[Post Count Padder]

Gameday is frozen again :evil:

[texascub]

Anybody figure out who to email to complain to fox yet?

 

It's all Joe Buck's fault.
