7/17 CUBS (Marshall) vs. Giants (Zito), 7:05 PM CT, CSN

Just got home, I heard Kendall made some kind of a fielding gaffe that led to a run earlier? Can somebody fill me in on what that was?

 

I haven't been following the game thread until now, but if people are laying that on Kendall, they're being simply ridiculous.

 

short hop on a throw from Soriano.

 

Yea its stupid of us to expect a major league catcher to come up with a short hop.

 

If Soto had done it, not one word would have been uttered.

 

Riiiight, and you know this how?

It's not a difficult hop at all if Kendall is actually in position.

 

I know, he was wandering off into right field.

 

what the hell are you talking about. he was standing at the corner of the plate, right where he should have been.

Barrett would have allowed two runs on that play.

 

Soriano wouldn't have even thrown that ball because he has no confidence in Barrett.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Fearless prediction...6-3 for Kendall.

Look again, he was standing behind home plate up the left field line.

[Jazz]

kendall looks like hes flailing at bottle caps with a broom stick.

Hey, I'm not a fan of the Kendall acquisition at all, but I've been around NSBB enough to know what I said was true. There are arbitrary favorites (like Dubois when he first came up) that get alot of slack. That's all I'm saying.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Kendall flies out to right. 1 down.

[TysonCBulls423]

or F-9. Not the best debut. :cry:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

0 for 3 for Kendall and a dropped ball that led to 2 runs tonight.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pagan flies out to left. 2 down.

I have no problem with the Kendall trade, but its a play that should have been made, and I believe it would have been brought up no matter who the catcher was.

[inari]

Marmol looked terrible last inning. I love him as much as Lou apparently does, but it's silly to leave him in after that unimpressive performance.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Lord knows if Barrett had dropped that ball, his detractors would have come out of the woodwork.

[cheapseats]

or F-9. Not the best debut. :cry:

 

He's a career .298 hitter. Judging him on one game is ridiculous.

[Keener98]

Blasphemy!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marmol K's.

 

End of 7, 2-2.

I take issue with the term "arbitrary". We as a board tend to forgive mistakes by our own prospects more than those the team acquires elsewhere, especially those whose acquisitions we didn't like. I can't imagine other teams' fans are much different.

You're 100 percent correct. I take back the term arbitrary!

Seconded - don't we have anyone who can hit a PH HR?

[Keener98]

Another good job by Kendall jesus christ

[Prior4CyYoung]

Haha good Job Kendall.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Another outstanding play by our new catcher.

[elinas]

Unbelievable.

[rickrolled]

trade Kendall now
