7/16 CUBS (Hill) vs. Giants (Lincecum), 6:05 PM CT WCIU/ESPN

Koyie Hill's OPS since the trade and Michael Barrett's OPS since the trade are now just about exactly the same :D

 

Ouch. That hurts.

If we can't keep someone that wants to stay here so badly, I'll be pretty bummed.

 

Don't just about all players say "I want to stay in (city?)" That's just a PR move, I think. He'd say that even if he was itching to get out.

 

I hope I'm wrong, though.

Barrett's BA is the same as his OBP. Nope, no walks.

 

53 ABs.

I hope he takes a hometown discount to stay. Not necessarily a huge one but just a couple mil a year.

Chicago and Big Z are a match made in heaven. Could you imagine the amount of attention his emotions would get in NY?

[UMFan83]

How was that first pitch not a strike? ump fooled by the curve again

Yep. Like CCP's been saying - the trade was terrible for both teams. Neither side has gotten a good player.

[Flames24Rulz]

RIOT!

[Omar]

Theriot gets his web gem!

[Butterscup1679666578]

RIOT

[inari]

Have a taste of your own medicine, Omar.

[YearofDaCubs]

And we need Izturis for? ha ha

[Jon]

I'd rather listen to Joe Morgan than Rick Sutcliffe. This is really painful.

RIOT!

 

Beautiful play. :D

We've got another player you can DFA, Jimbo.

[inari]

Rich doesn't look as good this inning. Hopefully he gets his good stuff back.

Sutcliffe angrily criticizing the Cubs farm system when talking about Theriot.

 

What's he saying about it?

[BigSlick]

God I hate ESPN coverage of Cubs games. They refuse to show me OBP, and the color guys are HORRIBLE

[Bruno7481]

Sutcliffe angrily criticizing the Cubs farm system when talking about Theriot.

 

I don;t know if I would go as far to sat he was criticizing. He said the Cubs management admitted they made a mistake with Theriot by trying to get him to switch hit and play other positions rather than his naturall SS.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Sutt is clearly a Theriot fan..

[Andy]

Sutcliffe angrily criticizing the Cubs farm system when talking about Theriot.

 

What's he saying about it?

"They said, you have to play other positions than SS and you have to switch-hit because you can't hit RH. Wrong on both counts!"

[Omar]

Sutcliffe angrily criticizing the Cubs farm system when talking about Theriot.

 

What's he saying about it?

 

How they were wrong about telling Theriot that he wont go far hitting from the right side, so he should learn to hit from both sides. He also should try playing 2B, & OF because his SS defense is not good enough.

[dew1679666265]

Sutcliffe angrily criticizing the Cubs farm system when talking about Theriot.

 

What's he saying about it?

 

They made (and admitted to) mistakes in his development - such as trying him as a switch hitter and making him play multiple positions instead of just short.
