7/4 CUBS (Hill) vs. Nats (Chico), 11:05am CT, WGN-TV, XM 183

[TruffleShuffle]

There will be no walk here.

 

Even if he were able to work a walk, Rich was on deck.

 

At least then Rich wouldn't start the 3rd.

 

he'll probably be knocked out of the game this inning

\Nah, he'll get through 4.

[Chocolate Milk]

Glad we maximized Barrett's value so we could get a stud like Bowen. Solid trade right there.

 

At least the Cubs got Kyler Burke and his .038 BA at short season A-ball.

 

That's VALUE.

Lopez singles to LF

[killthegoat06]

Lopez singles to left.

[killthegoat06]

Let's trade Burke and Bowen for Barrett, see if they bite. :roll:

[killthegoat06]

Barrett could have done that.

[Chocolate Milk]

Defensive Catchers for the win!

[soccer10k]

Well done Cubs.

[Keener98]

Well so where is Bowens value? Cant hit, and cant throw

Bowen throws the ball into CF trying to catch Lopez stealing. Runner to 3B

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm glad we traded our good hitting catcher for one who plays defense.

[98navigator]

Flores K's, runner stranded

[killthegoat06]

Barrett would have batted 6th and at least moved the runners over.

[Coach C]

Finally...

[killthegoat06]

Nice K Rich.

Soto > Hill > Blanco > Bowen

Barrett has done nothing for the Padres since that trade. He has bascially done nothing all year.

[TruffleShuffle]

if rich doesn't get a hit here, he has nobody to blame but himself for the zero runs the cubs will score today

Soto > Hill > Blanco > Bowen

 

How is Hill better than Henry? He's the best defensive catcher on the roster. I'd like to see Soto but until he does something in the MLs he isn't better in my mind.

Something has to be done with our catchers. The Cubs starting catchers are hitting 4-43 (.093) since Barrett has been traded. I'd guess our pitchers are hitting higher then that Edited July 4, 2007 by UMFan83

Rich K's swinging

hill is the worst of that motley crew.

Rich K's.

Meathook catching throws in the infield reminds me a little of Fonzie cathcing flies in the outfield. Every one is an adventure.
