Former Cub Greg Gross? Was this one of those guys who maybe came up in September and played 5 games?

 

No, he had 670 PA in 1977 and 78.

Nice [expletive] defense Colvin

[inari]

I'll say, I didn't think Soriano was getting that one.

Nice [expletive] defense Colvin

 

Are you serious? Wind is ridiculous. That was a pop-up.

He's a major league outfielder. It should have been an out.

Colvin was twisting and turning as soon as that thing was in the air. He never had a read on it, it was bad defense

Hard to blame Colvin when the exact same thing happened to Ludwick.

Considering its Colvin's home field, its not the same. Also its not the first time Ludwick has struggled defensively in Wrigley Field.

[Schwarber Fan]

now that's a major league outfielder.

[Keener98]

Oh Ludwick caught that one, so does that mean its now ok to blame Colvin for not catching his?

Wow..

Castro's OPS is almost .800, who would have thought that 3 months ago? I didn't think he would pull that off in AA

[Keener98]

Wow..

 

Well with the rationale of it being ok that Colvin misplayed the fly ball to him because Ludwick did too, why isn't it ok to say that he should have caught it since Ludwick caught that one?

Yea he went through a little slump, but seems to have made his adjustments, and now is just raking.

Aaron Miles was hitting. Colvin was playing shallow. If a gust of wind takes an Aaron Miles pop-up to the warning track, there really isn't much he could've done about it.

No one said it's ok, just that the wind is pretty tough today. Definitley didn't warrant a nice [expletive] defense.

[UMFan83]

Jim Hendry's job is on the line in this AB by Soriano here.

[Careless]

heh

[Keener98]

Great slide Castro, way to take him out

[Tim M]

That was awesome.

i guess that was kind of the deal with him in the minors, that he adjusted well, but jesus christ, to be a 20-year old in a huge market making those kind of adjustments in the major leagues is just insane.
