Cubs Beat Sabathia (orattheveryleastgettothepen) 7-28 7pmCSN

[Mizzou]

I can't remember the exact situation or even the game for that matter. I'm pretty sure it was last year though and in a fairly big spot.

The only reason I can remember it so vividly is because I was driving up to Chicago at the time with a car full of Cards fans listening to it on the radio.

Yost might leave him out there for 140 for all we know.

Maybe it would be his last start of the year then. That would be nice.

[SouthSideRyan]

Braindead Ronny grounding out. DUMB

[Little Slide Rooter]

Is this just a blip for DeRosa, or some big-time regression?

 

Its basically who DeRosa and always has been.

[bcl412]

I wish I wasn't so worked up for a stupid game in July.

He "only" threw 106 his last outing, so to Yost he's good for about 150 tonight.

Yeah, except for the past 2 and a half years.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fielder struck out swinging

[Soul]

Braindead Ronny grounding out. DUMB

 

Could just call him 63 career OPS+ Ronny if that is a better nickname.

[Outshined_One]

Fudgy the Beached Whale whiffs!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hart grounded out to third, 5-3

[VanceJergins]

You feel the rumble? That's the sound of Fielder sitting his fat arse down on the bench.

[inari]

I'm digging the pitch count.

[SouthSideRyan]

Braindead Ronny grounding out. DUMB

I'd have no problem with that. You wanna argue that Ronny isn't a good ballplayer, have at it, Lord knows you've got the major league #s to back it up.

 

If Ronny was truly as untalented as some want to believe, AND was some Ned Yost-like buffoon when it came to intelligence; He'd be a Tony Pena Jr. hitter with Jack Cust level defense.

 

I just really don't understand why things need to be made up about Ronny, when you can simply say something simple like he hasn't hit at the major league level, and other than a ~2 month stretch, he doesn't look like he has an approach that's conducive to becoming one.

[bcl412]

I hate Bill Hall right now.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

I'm digging the pitch count.

 

I'm digging Lilly's outing thus far.

I'd really dig a 4 or 5 run inning.

Here's my deal: while I don't argue that you might have a point about Cedeno getting somewhat of a bad rap defensively compared to a guy like Theriot (I haven't run the numbers mind you), I also believe strongly that if Ronny would post some kind of major league-level numbers at the plate he'd get more leeway. It might not be right, I'll acknowledge that. But Ronny's got to give this team something to hang its hat on at some point.
