Cubs Beat Sabathia (orattheveryleastgettothepen) 7-28 7pmCSN

[PrimeTime]

Lilly better not be throwing 87 MPH BP fastballs and get rocked tonight. He doesn't have good stuff really and can't get away with any mistakes. Needs to get the curve working and keep the ball down

It's about good decision-making.

 

Lilly, for example, needs to decide not to suck tonight.

 

See? It's simple. Just need to get some blood to the brain. :mrgreen:

[Hall7810]

According to YahooSports, both the lineups are correct.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/boxscore?gid=280728108

[Mizzou]

Cedeno over Fukudome? Brutal.

[Derwood]

Soto batting 5th is a program I can get with

[killthegoat06]

I like the lineup with the exception of platooning our 12 million dollar RF with cedeno

[Balsa]

The Brewers kill lefties, ESPECIALLY Braun.

 

This ain't gonna be close tonight.

[CubColtPacer]

I just got it off the comments on TCR, none of the major sites have a lineup. For the reasons CCP mentioned, I'd prefer Fukudome in and Cedeno out, so hopefully the lineup is wrong.

 

Well, it was actually Fred this time who posted that. But I would have if I had been awake then, so I can see why you thought it was me :D

 

Definitely not a fan of Cedeno starting in this spot. Fukudome has better numbers against left-handers, the Cubs are better defensively with him on the field (I'd rather have Fukudome and DeRosa at RF and 2B than DeRosa and Cedeno). Plus, Fukudome has so little confidence against left-handers normally that he is very patient against them, seeing 4.58 pitches per plate appearance compared to Cedeno's 3.80 against left-handers. Against a pitcher like Sabathia, even that little difference could help.

 

It's not really something that can be seen as winning or losing the game for the Cubs though, and it does help that the lineup is well thought out otherwise.

Good call, sorry Fred!

And Daingerfield thought HE got no respect !! :wink:

Crap I forgot they had Mike Cameron, he'll be the Hermida of this series :x

No Samardzija tonight. Marmol if it comes to a save situation.

[Bote McBoteface]

I'd be very happy if Soriano decided that he wanted to hit a leadoff homer tonight.

[swordsman]

Go Cubs!

[Outshined_One]

Someone please tell me they got all of that on TiVo and can upload it onto the internets.

[chuckywang]

Fontenot piggyback riding Z? DeRosa and Cedeno giving each other bear hugs?

 

I wouldn't be surprised if everybody in the dugout got into a big gay orgy next time.
