Good to see Sheets throw 21 pitches in the first.

[synergy]

yea they're shifting against all batters.

Warning Track Power

 

Not watching today - but with the wind blowing in at about 15 mph, wouldn't that mean it'd have been gone on a normal day?

 

 

the wind looks more left to right than straight in. he didn't really hit it well - he was late on two straight pitches and lifted them to right. good contact but not really driven.

[Andy]

Sure hope DLee and ARam were taking notes... good things can happen if apply a bit of hustle on the basepaths.

 

either of them would have been out by five feet. they would be more likely to get hurt than get a hit there.

 

Its beyond obvious that DLee/ARam wouldn't have beaten a play like that out, but as recent examples, that single of DLee's that landed right by the OOB padding in RF last night... most likely should have been a 2B.

 

But again... I didn't bring it up to cause thread-consuming debate/argument.

DLee didn't run that ball out last night because it was foul.

 

At least, I thought it was.

It's blowing sorta left to right and out to RF

 

Drat.

Ugh.

 

Well at least we worked Sheets a little that inning.

 

He's thrown 21 pitches.

 

Almost all of them fastballs. Is he saving his breaking pitches, or is his finger preventing him from throwing a lot of them?

The way ryan braun looks pisses me off. I know thats completely irrational, but he looks so cocky without even trying. Stupid braun.

I didn't see last night's game. I wonder if Derrek has a nagging leg injury?

[Guancous]

I predict that Chris Capuano comes in during the third inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Braun struck out swinging

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I hope Zambrano can keep this up for six or seven more innings.

Derek Jeter syndrome. except Jeter really is cocky.

I guess I grew up differently... I was always taught to go hard - or at least as hard as my body/injuries would allow - until the ump told me otherwise.

why not eight?

Dude. WTF that was a strike.

I don't think it has anything to do with how he was raised.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Who is this ump?

You do know Rammy isn't healthy, right?

Well, maybe cocky isnt the right word. Prince Fielder is cocky, and I respect the guy for some reason, he just really wants to win. Braun strikes me as the condescending type, and thats probably a better adjective to describe him with. And he has beady, beady eyes.

Who is this ump?

 

I don't know, but is he ever horrible.

I doubt you ever played 162 games in a year.

 

The ARam thing is the worst. He's got knee problems, he's got quad problems. I cringe when he hustles.

Jenkins grounded out to first, unassisted

Corey Hart is a tool.

Hart bunted for an IF single to the pitcher
