Re: 5/5 Cubs (Dempster) vs. Dusty Baker's Reds (Cueto)

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Pie is looking HORRIBLE. What was this kid batting in Iowa?

 

About .360

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cueto struck out swinging

[javy knows my name]

How anyone can say that Pie is ready to contribute in the major leagues is beyond me. Hey, we all want him to succeed, but he's just not a smart enough hitter right now.

I'd be pressing, too, if I thought that 3 PA's were going to determine whether or not I start for a week

[illiniguy]

Pie is overmatched and looking clueless. Please send him to AAA

Yeah because everyone else has been hammering Cueto for us. How about we give him a month straight to play instead of only playing him against right handers with electric stuff. Lou is setting him up to fail.

 

Normally I would agree with you......but cmon, he has been horsecrap the last 5 games he's played

Against Sheets, Wainright, and Cueto. Come on most guys don't hit them too well.

Five games? Oh my goodness! You're right! Five whole games!

[SouthSideRyan]

I'll bet money that neither Soriano or Pie puts a ball in play against Cueto tonight.

 

You're on.

 

These threads are ridiculous.

[weis21]

39 through 2 for Cueto, we should be able to get into that pen by the sixth.

He went 2 for 4 with a double in the Cardinals series.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Freel struck out swinging , 2-3

[UMFan83]

Half the lineup struck out.

 

Not half of them took cuts as ugly as Pie's

[chuckywang]

DLee is the only person to make an out that is not a strikeout.

Your stats are really killing his theory.

That's actually a good bet. I'm inclined to double the bet

[Mizzou]

Dempster is looking a lot better this inning.

Cubs fans who believe things like this deserve everything the Cubs have given them over the last 63 seasons.

[reds44]

Freel with 2 of the best AB's ever.

[CubinNY]

Anyone listening to the broadcast on XM? Marty is absolutely going off on Dusty. The guy is a real prick. I bet he use to beat Thom pretty good when Thom was a young'in.

It's amazing how often facts kill stupid fan overreactions.

I never posted a theory lol. I'm thinking he's looking just overmatched and lost at the plate. I knew he was amazing in AAA....I just find it hard to believe that he cant at least foul of some pitches and look like a major leaguer. How is it that a "stud" prospect cannot hit lefties AT ALL? That's an honest question

Soriano will hit his trademarked meaningless 9th inning solo home run with us down 5. Don't take the bet.

[Andy]

Looked pretty damn good in the first inning too.

Good, Thom probably deserved it. :lol:

He can. He has. He will continue to.

Cueto's going to go the full 9 innings tonight?

 

Well, I suppose it IS Dusty over there in the other dugout tonight....
