5/1 D'Backs (Haren) vs Cubs (Silva) 12:05 PM WGN

[Guest]

Way to let Haren off the hook the last two innings. It is getting really old watching the Cubs not hustle. Ramirez, Fontenot and Silva all in one inning.

 

All three of them hustled.

[Andy]

Dan Haren is going to hit .500 this season.

[webjim25]

Jesus when was the last time Haren was retired at the dish?

I admittedly did not see what the situation was with Fotenot so I don't know, but Aramis certainly did not hustle. He sat in the box and watched a bit before he took off.

Seriously? Aramis was out because the ball bounced right to the RFer and he's not fast to begin with, Fontenot has the 2B basically on top of him and Silva is fat and slow. None of that had to do with "not hustling."

Whatever.

[Careless]

Has Theriot even seen 5 pitches through his first three ABs today?

No. 1, 1, and 2 in them

[Sammy Sofa]

Dammit.

[Andy]

Kaplan used Twitter to take an unprovoked shot at Soriano while whining about not hustling.

 

BTW, I knew the millisecond that Len mentioned that Upton and Reynolds were both homerless in their career vs the Cubs that they were both going yard today.

The frustrating thing is Arizona has a terrible bullpen and you would think the players would understand being patient would be the plan for everyone.

 

Way to have a shutdown inning Carlos.

[Schwarber Fan]

might as well have everyone yell at the ump; we'll never get a borderline strike the rest of the day

Aramis didn't put his head down and sprint, but he also didn't stand and watch. Parra playing the ball perfectly off the wall and throwing a perfect strike to the base were much, much more important in Ramirez being out.

 

Fontenot had Kelly Johnson on top of him, so he couldn't advance. Even then, it might've been difficult because he's sprinting to second with a mind to break up the double play. By the time he gets to his feet and/or sees the ball got away, it might not be enough to get him to 3rd.

Why are you following Kaplan? Who gives a [expletive] what that twit has to say.

[Schwarber Fan]

clearly in the basket

 

open your eyes, Len

Carlos Silva has arrived a month late in Chicago.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hopefully this is just a bad outing and not the real Carlos Silva joining the team.

[Ballgame64]

Carlos Silva has arrived a month late in Chicago.

Failure to retire the opposing pitcher has caused most of his problems.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Carlos Silva has arrived a month late in Chicago.

 

Carlos Zambrano certainly hopes so.

[TruffleShuffle]

silva's command was lousy all day. 60 strikes, 41 balls isn't good enough for him, and 3 walks in 5 innings is a lot worse than normal. obviously with his mediocre stuff he can't be missing his spots like he did today.

Yep. A couple wind blown home runs didn't do much to help his final stat line either.

[Schwarber Fan]

Lets go Aram... Waveland ave here baby

[Andy]

Great, Aramis is up with the wind blowing out and a homer ties it!

[TruffleShuffle]

well i guess if you're going to swing at bad pitches mineaswell bloop them into right field

[A-Cal]

Silva has a problem with his wrist though, right?

[Derwood]

well, that's one run back
