Jake Fox doubles off the left center field wall.

[Schwarber Fan]

Koyie Hill was with the Cubs over Fox why?

[Bruce Miles]

Koyie Hill was with the Cubs over Fox why?

 

Because the Cubs feel Hill is a catcher and Fox isn't.

That's right, you explained that to me last season. ;)

But Fox can flat-out rake. If he keeps this up, he'll play in the big leagues, either with the Cubs or maybe with an AL team.

What channel of Sopcast is this on

I'm guessing an AL team

[CubsGM]

Samardzija did a great job today =D>

[Ryno is God 23]

Bruce what did you think of Samardzija today?

Bruce what did you think of Samardzija today?

 

He looked good and sharp on the mound today. A lot of it is a matter of refinement with him.

[RammyFanny]

I'm guessing an AL team

 

Might that team be Baltimore?

It seems like the Northside 9 have put some runs on the board. Edited March 3, 2008 by UMFan83

But can he handle the offspeed stuff (that's been his big weakness)?

Did he throw many secondary pitches? How did they look?

 

More groundouts than flyouts are always good for Samardzija. :)

[UMFan83]

Howry is nicely putting the game in a save situation so that he can prove that he can close games.

[UMFan83]

After Howry gives up 3 runs in the ninth....

 

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!
