How can you be so eager to swing that you wail on outside sliders but let a middle in fastball go untouched?

[UMFan83]

Well I guess it would have to be Soto or Castillo to pitch, unless a pitcher plays in the field...I'd think the Cubs would rather have someone like Maholm or Volstad go rather than use a position player to pitch. Whoever is on their throwing day.

i don't think soriano has the physical capability to drive the baseball. all his hits are soft liners off the end of the bat and 600 bounce grounders that find holes.

[Guest]

And now he's calling the borderline pitches strikes. Ridiculous.

The game that drags on forever

Vinnie Chulk's last big league W was in 2007.

They could move a catcher to 1B, LaHair to the OF, and let an OF pitch if they were that desperate too. I get the inclination that DeJesus might be the pick if it gets to the 16th.

But he's a defensive specialist now. Yay.

[Fred Hornkohl]

And on that note, after the final out tonight I will finally work on fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a hobo. Packing up the knapsack as I type...

 

Excellent !!

[Rizzo Smash]

LaHair in left field

[El Duderino]

everyone's dream has come true. lahair in the OF

[Soul]

Castillo

[Guest]

LaHair to left, Wellington to first, Soto in to catch, Lendy Castillo pitching.

[JockJones]

And the LaHair in the outfield experiment begins.

[Careless]

Lahair in left! It's been so long, Adam!

[Guest]

Chulk at 33 pitches, you think he gets another inning if Castillo can make it through?

[El Duderino]

[expletive], his first three pitches were so good

[Guest]

The hand is part of the bat if you're swinging, right?

How about Volstad. Then call up a starter when Marmol is DLd and then send him back down for a reliever the next day. Eh? Eh?

[Rizzo Smash]

Maybe we'll get lucky and the Brewers will have Ryan Braun bunt?

[minnesotacubsfan]

Maybe we'll get lucky and the Brewers will have Ryan Cheater bunt?

 

mods, word filter please

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-9 when the opponent executes a sac bunt.... 12-9 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Soul]

I think we're in trouble

[Rizzo Smash]

Well that was worth it. Suck it Cheater.

[Guest]

hahaha, throw more of a tantrum Braun. Start trying to pick him off first base and have Castillo slug him with the tag every time.
