8/15 AAA Pirates (Sucks) @ Cobs (Gorz) 12:05 CSN

Does anyone else not like Theriot as a leadoff hitter?

 

Fuku needs to stay in the leadoff spot

[Keener98]

Love Miltons excitement. Theriot would have been nowhere near getting Milton on that play. Hell of a try from Cedeno

I would prefer Kosuke batting leadoff but we could definitely be worse off.

He's like the anti-Fuku. Kosuke is an iceman, Milton get excited for getting as much as a walk.

Hes hitting .348 out of the leadoff spot, but hes only taken 2 walks in almost 50 at bats leading off. I guess if he keeps hitting .350 he really doesnt need to walk much, but odds of that happening are slim.

Man I love Jeff Baker.

DLee, bad slide!

[laurens]

I love first inning runs!

[Keener98]

Cubs got a break at 2nd base and took advantage of it wow. Lee looked scared to slide at home, Im guessing because of his neck issues.

That's my thing, he won't keep doing that and he isn't walking at all anymore.

[laurens]

Baker has been really, really good lately

[illiniguy]

Don't slide DLee. The last thing we need is him getting hurt.

Which really makes Aaron Miles useless.

[laurens]

3 hits in the first inning. I like our chances this game :D

Good point. I suppose I should be satisfied for the gift run

[illiniguy]

Cruz has a higher batting average than on base percentage. How is this possible?

This requires having almost no walks or HBP and having a relatively high number of sac fly's. (from Wiki:) "if a player has 2 hits in 6 at bats with a sacrifice fly, his batting average would be .333, but his on-base percentage would be .286"

[Fred Hornkohl]

I love first inning runs!

 

CUBS are 27-7 when they score in the first inning.... 32-48 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 23-8 when their pitcher gets a hit.... 36-47 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Anything is possible when you are a Pirate. Except winning. Or being individually good for multiple seasons without getting traded.

[Fred Hornkohl]

.... and the CUBS are 2-4 with RISP !! :shock:

[Fred Hornkohl]

...... and the CUBS have outscored the Pirates 24-2 in the first 2 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[illiniguy]

Was that almost a homer?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Warning track.

[laurens]

Was that almost a homer?

 

Bradley's really finding his groove

Milton has been really good for a good amount of time now.
