9/15 Game 1: Cubs (Lilly) @ Cards (Looper) 12:10 CDT WGN/720

dang dempster is coming into the game.

[Roast]

Bob already said it(though I said it first), but that was a great play by Soto, never hesitated, went right after the ball and made a great throw. Kendall probably does the same thing chasing after it right away, but he doesn't get the throw I'm thinking.

 

Nice inning Carlos.

 

Way to criticize a guy based on a hypothetical situation. That's fair.

 

He didn't criticize him; he just stated facts.

 

Fact: Kendall's arm is crap.

 

 

Based on that, it's reasonable to infer that he may not have been able to make that throw.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones singled to center field

[BigSlick]

Dempster is coming in? Lets get some more runs. :?

Soto did absolutely everything right on that play, besides obviously blocking the ball. He got after it right away, and it still took a strong throw to throw out Ankiel. Soto=Strong arm. Kendall=Not strong arm.

 

BTW...5 more runs and Piggy/Wuertz/anybody in the bottom of the 9th would be nice

It was my guess, Kendall doesn't have as strong or as accurate an arm as Soto. I don't think it's an outrageous a claim to think Kendall doesn't get the out.

[Brian]

is it just me or has been Jones been getting quite a few hits off lefty relievers lately

Why trash Kendall's arm because of a play Soto makes? Does that make any sense?

[Omar]

Geico runs, please. Edited September 15, 2007 by Omar

[Prior4CyYoung]

hopefully will score some more runs so Dumpster will be able to give up some HR and it will be ok. that and he is facing lower end of the batting order so that might help him.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

um... soriano's home run was..... well.... how do I put this?

 

orgasmic. :D

Are you being serious?

 

The catcher who is currently playing makes a great play, A poster comments that the teams catcher who would regularly be playing may likely not be able to make that same play.

 

It wasn't really off topic.

Way to ignore the whole discussion. We are saying Soto makes a play that we don't think Kendall could make. (taht is, if he let the ball go by him, which he might not have done)

 

Its like saying Soriano could make a throw Jones couldn't....its not that ridiculous.

[squally1313]

orgasmic. :D

 

Speaking of which....anybody got a picture of the Rally Girl?

 

:lol: :lol:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Springer in to pitch for St. Louis

[Omar]

I swear... One day Insurance Runs will be brought to you by the folks at MetLife or something.

Oh, I miss the days of Barrettgasms.... :lol:

To show it was an exceptional play that the normal catcher doesn't make? I don't understand why this is such an issue.

[UMFan83]

Please get some insurance here. Dempster scares me right now even with the bottom of the order up.

let's just say that soto is good and leave it at that.

 

i don't think anyone was trying to trash kendall--even though roast did say that kendall's arm "is crap", which is true.

[inari]

Stop bunting with DeRosa!

[SouthSideRyan]

Insurance runs, but no more than 2 plz.

Actually it was. All you guys who are all over Soto use anything you can trash Kendall. The fact is, we have no idea how that play would've been different had Kendall been playing. Maybe it wouldn't have gotten through him in the first place. It's completely unfair to criticize players based on plays that other guys make.

[inari]

Terrible.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones caught stealing, 2-6
