Bad numbers at the ML level, no one has ever heard of him - He's not a soft-tossing lefty, but I still smell Barownage on the horizon.

Geovany Soto can slam a revolving door.

 

anyway, I'm going to ignore this game and hope for the best.

Kind of like Chuck from Happy Days?

[Sammy Sofa]

I was totally confident about last night's game and the Cubs ended up looking like neutered chumps.

 

I am totally depressed and nervous about tonight's game, so hopefully that means they'll completely dominate and look like world-beaters.

RHP throws 90-91, will touch 93, locates his FB ok. His second pitch is a cutter, doesn't have a good breaking or off-speed pitch.

So pretty much nothing but fastballs? The Cubs should really feast on this guy.

[CubmanPi]

If the Brewers manage to close in one more game tonight, I may look around and see if any single seats for game 3 pop up a little closer to face value.

He throw some just to keep hitters off balance, but definitely not out pitches.

It would have been much more believable if you started Ward at 1b.

Floyd batting fourth! Righty lefty righty, dude!

[USSoccer]

I loathe the fact that Lou is doing the Dusty RLR thing.

I loathe the fact that Lou is doing the Dusty RLR thing.

 

I loathe the fact that people still mock the practice. It's good lineup construction (although admittedly less so in September when teams have 9 pitchers in the bullpen).

[killthegoat06]

Just win, stupid cubs.

[Rusch33]

Dear Cubs,

 

Take care of business.. Mmm, kay?

 

Signed,

This guy

the only thing i like about switching the righty to left thing is if you have a bunch of righties in a row, you give the pitcher the chance to get zoned in on that outside corner of the plate and we can hit a damn thing off him, and weve seen it happen this year.alternating righty and lefty makes him hit both sides of the plate and change his location alot

[jjgman21]

Cubs are 2-8 in the last 10 games in which Reilly has called balls and strikes.

Marquis' teams are 0-5 in games in which Reilly has called balls and strikes.

 

 

go MLB.

It's quite simple really. When you string lefties and/or righties together, you make it really easy for the other manager to maximize platoon splits. It used to drive me crazy when Baker would bat Patterson and Walker (sometimes the only two lefties in the lineup) 1-2 because it absolutely guaranteed that for each of their final two at-bats, they'd both see left-handed pitchers.
