pitch 4: strike out swinging

 

2 outs

[Sammy Sofa]

In my ideal world Colvin is sent to Iowa to start the season and tears it up. Soriano gets traded at the break for *anything* and Colvin takes over LF in the second half. Maybe swap Byrd to LF and let Colvin play center.

 

That would be a depressing, terrifying world.

Why?

 

Well Im kinda hopin Fonsie tears it up this year....if he hits like he did in 2007 were in the playoffs

 

Why wouldn't they be if he hits like he did in 2008?

[Schwarber Fan]

Bowers vs. Ramirez

 

pitch 1: called strike

pitch 2: swinging strike

pitch 3: ball

pitch 4: flyout to RF

 

1 hit, 2 LOB

 

2-0 Cubs after 3

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm gonna stop the updates for now, hopefully someone else can pick it up

Why?

 

Because it's tremendously unrealistic and dumping Soriano for "anything" is likely a scenario that the Cubs get shafted in.

 

Not to mention that Colvin starting in LF would likely involve a prolonged stretch of Nady stinking and/or getting hurt before he'd get the chance.

[Schwarber Fan]

A's with no hits through 4

 

still 2-0

[Cubs Fan Dan]

I think Marlon Byrd is going to be well worth the contract he was given. Not just basing this on one meaningless Spring game but just a feeling.

[Foulacy]

COLVIN FOR STARTING LF!!

Single for Soto driving in Colvin (*coughs*) and Fontenot (who almost injures himself) is thrown out at third.

[GeoSoto420]

Haha. Zito hit Fielder with the first pitch today. Probably stemming from the walk-off HR celebration in Milwaukee last year, per Baseball Tonight.
