Week of 3/14 to 3/20 ST Thread

[TruffleShuffle]

like cashner??? he probably pitched to him like 4 times last year. i know she has to toe the company line, but come on, that's insulting.

[A New Era]

What if Koyie Hill doesn't get a hit the rest of the spring, has 55 past balls, 0 out of 45 caught stolen with 28 of them wild throws to allow an extra base. Calls Quade Fredie Kreuger and poops in his dugout spot every day. And. . . . um. Gives Quade Herpes. Will he still get the job?

As long as he doesn't airmail all 45 throws, I think he's still the leader in the clubhouse.

Could today's lineup please be the actual lineup?

[CubColtPacer]

Could today's lineup please be the actual lineup?

 

Any particular reason? Today's lineup puts potentially the 3 worst OPS players 1-2-3 in the lineup.

Would you really have a problem with Castro in the 2 spot? I'm more pleased with the structure of the middle of the lineup than anything.

No, but Baker in the 1 spot and Byrd in the 3 spot are both putrid. It's certainly agruable that those two should be batting 7-8 (Byrd 7, Baker 8).

I have no problem with baker leading off if there is a left on the mound(not sure if that was case today or not)

That's a good point and it is a left-handed pitcher today. I would be ok with this lineup as a normal lineup against just left-handers.

[ctcf]

In other news, Geovany Soto.

[pitchcs]

Any updates today?

[TruffleShuffle]

only the cobs

[MWV]

Colvin 9

Castro 6

Byrd 8

Ramirez 5

Pena 3

Soto 2

Soriano 7

DeWitt DH

Barney 4

 

I'd swap Colvin for Fukudome and place DeWitt at 2B, otherwise that 1-8 is pretty decent.

 

Cincy's lineup:

 

Stubbs 8

Phillips 4

Votto 3

Rolen 5

Bruce 9

Gomes 7

Hanigan 2

Janish 6

LeCure 1

[otis89]

I'm shocked that they're using the DH with Zambrano pitching.

[Hall7810]

His left wrist is sore.

[mookie]

i can't believe we are going to bat Byrd in the 3 hole. *sigh*

[CUBZ99]

Apparently Silva will be the first pitcher to come out of the pen today. Seems to indicate that he is losing the #5 starter battle.

[otis89]

Pena's looking good today. Colvin and Soriano have both mashed the ball, just missing homers. This is what we like to see!

[ctcf]

Pena is actually up to .286. Wow.

[otis89]

Pena is actually up to .286. Wow.

 

Make that .306.

[ctcf]

Pena is actually up to .286. Wow.

 

Make that .306.

 

He's almost TOO good.

[ctcf]

What are the chances Barney wins the designation of primary 2B?

 

EDIT: Starlin Castro - Power hitter.

[MWV]

Blastro.

[bukie]

Looks like Silva is already in midseason form.

Seriously, this guy is DONE.
