4/16 Dusty Baker's Reds (Fogg) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 CSN

[C.C.]

I see a Strikeout coming.

[Bruce Miles]

According to ESPN radio, Felix was complaining last night in the locker room about injuring his left hand on that catch. According to them, he was feeling pretty rough. My guess is that this has a lot more to do with that.

 

I wonder if this has something to do with why it looked like he couldn't catch up with any of Harang's pitches?

 

That would be more like it. The hand has nothing to do with it. Lou said he was going to spend 2-3 days working with Pie to shorten his swing. The two worked together Wednesday, with Piniella engaging in some pretty animated discussion with Pie.

 

I pray that isn't a diplomatic way of saying Lou was yelling at Pie.

I don't know why Piniella would think that Pie needs yet another voice telling him what he should be doing at the plate, let alone that he could single-handedly shorten Pie's swing in 2-3 days.

 

I don't think Lou believes mission will be accomplished in 2-3 days. It's probably going to be an ongoing process and that perhaps in 2-3 days, you can pu him back in there and see how things are looking. And Lou has experience as a hitting coach.

With Soriano on the DL, and Theriot actually playing well we may need a new scapegoat when Ted Lilly isnt pitching.

don't boo when the opposing pitcher hits our batter with an 0-2 pitch with runners on first and third.

3-1 to Fuku with the bases loaded.

[WilcoFan]

I know Theriot is the official whipping boy and therefore it is forbidden to say anything good about him, but since his mini-benching, his OBP is over .400. He's been playing well.
