oh man, just realized Pagan + that Hill is a scary thought. He can't figure out a regular outfield how's he going to handle a hill and pole

[Soul]

Are we going to set a club record for # of games against lefty starters? Seems like we are always going up against lefties!!

[TruffleShuffle]

wandy was really busting down the line there

[CUBZ99]

I don't want to hear any more stats on how guys are batting in Iowa. They are complete nonsense. Are they hitting off a tee down there?

 

well in ronny's case, he was hitting well in june and then he sucked in july

 

and April and May.

[Keener98]

Serious Padres implosion. Cards score 9 in the 5th with still no outs.

 

all because the pitcher batting 8th probably.

 

LMAO, you read my mind!

 

I seriously just got a text from a Cards fan friend being serious and it says"what were you saying about LaRussa being dumb for hitting the pitcher 8th".....lol I guess he forgot about those last 2 against the Nats.

[Soul]

Better from Rich.

[Flames24Rulz]

Get the damn guy some run support.

[Brian]

Best Rich has looked in a long time.

Beyond an injury is there any justifible reason for playing Cedeno?

What is that all about? LaRussa just proving he's smarter than everyone else or an actual reason?

 

larussa is grasping for straws. says hes trying to jumpstart the offense because hitting the pitcher 9th hasnt worked this year so he thought hed try something different

[TMan92]

Maybe the Cubs can score negative runs for Hill tonight. Maybe Murton can tip the ball out of the park on a fly ball.

[Ender]

Astros announcer said Hill has the lowest run support of any pitcher in baseball this season.

I'm guessing guys like Lee and Aramis are free to swing as they please.

we are a power hitting team man

Let me clairify, is there any reason to play him in Chicago?

Lefty on the mound

I don't mind good hitters getting a 3-0 green light, but they have to punish the pitcher on those counts... Lee got a fastball right down broadway and hit a weak fly to center

[weis21]

What??? Did you guys know that the cubs spent 300 million this past offseason??? That's the FIRST I've heard of it!
