No national games today, but once again I'd like to remind everyone to check out the free preview of MLBEI! Also, yesterday somebody started a post with "I know this game's not on the list, but..." That's fine! These threads are for talking about all other games! Well, baseball games, anyways. Major League Baseball games. Major League Baseball games that the Cubs aren't already playing in.

You mean I can't talk about my nephew's dixie youth game in here? What's the deal?

Only if I can talk about the Prairie State Junior College girls' softball team.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It's a deal. I'll carry my laptop to the game so I can keep you informed of whether Hanelines can beat Friendly Finance tonight.

Danks has a no-no through 5.

[Derwood]

Miggy scratched from today's Tigers game

Good! It worked!

Are the Nats planning on repeating their 2005 performance? Up 5-0 on the Phillies and threatening again..

[Clem Fandango]

Johnny Cueto is dominating the D-Backs right now. Perfect game through 4 innings with 7K's

[Clem Fandango]

Cueto now...

 

5IP 0H 0BB 8K's 58 pitches, 43 for strikes.

 

Sick

[TakeMeOutToTheBallGame]

Cueto now...

 

5IP 0H 0BB 8K's 58 pitches, 43 for strikes.

Hes got a lot better control than most pitchers with his kind of stuff.

[Clem Fandango]

Perfect game over. Justin Upton home run

[TakeMeOutToTheBallGame]

there went the no-no for Cueto

[reds44]

Cueto: 7 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 10 K

92 pitches

 

Cordero pitched a perfect 9th and the Reds won 3-2.

I wanted to pick up Cueto for my fantasy team at the beginning of the season, but Yahoo just added him yesterday, so I have to hope to pick him up off waivers on April 5.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm guessing there's going to be lots of waiver claims for Cueto in the next few days.

I wonder if you're in my league, I put a waiver claim in on him too and have to wait till the 5th as well. I'm 8th on the waiver wire in a 14 team league. It sucks, my pitching is awful, I really need a guy like Cueto, lol

[SABR Gamer]

lol i love how he said he was sure cueto would be lousy

Positional tomfoolery in the Pirates/Braves game tonight. Reliever Chris Resop enters the game in the 10th and walks two batters sandwiched around a sac bunt. He then goes out and plays left field after being relieved by Royce Ring, who registers a strikeout. Ring is then taken out, Resop returns to the mound from left field (he was replaced in left by Gregor Blanco) and surrenders the go-ahead run, becoming the first player in 15 years to pitch, move to a position and then pitch again in the same game.

 

I love this stuff.

That, actually, is beyond awesome.

[Outshined_One]

So, which career path is in the cards for Johnny Cueto?

 

Mark Prior?

Kerry Wood?

Juan Cruz?

Jason Schmidt?

Livan Hernandez?

Russ Ortiz?

 

Dusty must feed.

Check out this Dusty quote from after Cueto's performance.

 

"I told him: 'Calma, confidencia,' " Baker said. "Calm, confidence."

 

He thinks that we are as dumb as him, I guess. I am no Spanish expert, but I was even able to figure out what this numbskull was saying without his fantastic translation. More great Dusty-isms to come!
