remember, the worse of a ballclub we are today, the better we'll be in 15 years.

 

Right. That's what we'll go with.

It only happens to Sulley's teams.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Although he just hit the ball one foot, Starlin has been having better at bats the last two games. If he keeps this up, the walks and a hot streak will come.

 

Why do you think the walks will come?

 

The more he works the count and gets to three balls, the more often the fourth one will come. He ain't going to be walking like Adam Dunn, but he'll average more than the two he's averaging per month now.

Ok, he will walk more because he will learn to, but when is the last time you saw Castro work the count?

[Careless]

Strike 2 on DJ was a joke.

He's been doing it the last two games, getting into much better hitting counts. Just tonight, I believe he was 3-0 and 2-0 in two of his at bats. That's a good sign. He has been swinging at a ton of junk as of late, and you can tell he is a lot more calm at the plate right now. In my opinion.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Koyie [expletive] Hill.

[dfnowak]

Nice throw Koyie

[Rizzo Smash]

Can Koyie chop off his arm too? He might throw better.

[Careless]

It turns out I'm way too lazy to use Uverse multi-view. Big surprise.

[Schwarber Fan]

7-0 Texas over Toronto bottom 2nd... that team is ridiculous at home (despite their somehow 11-9 record)

[Yeti]

why is campana on the bench here?

 

shouldnt he be at second for soriano?

[Careless]

WEll that sucks. Soriano trying to dodge the grounder ran over the 3b and called out

[El Duderino]

Seriously?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Only the Cubs

[Schwarber Fan]

nothing would have been called with Cobs in field

[Schwarber Fan]

Koyie hits more grounders to the right side than Juan Pierre

[Irrelevant Dude]

I just watched the Soriano play again. Did he do that on purpose to prevent the double play? I doubt they would have turned it either way, but Soriano didn't know that so it may have been a smart play.

I just thought they were really crappy pitches he took, but whatever, he will walk when there is an actual threat behind him (LaHair doesn't count, everyone thought they could get LaHair out, now they are).

[davell]

If there was ever a person born to lead off, it was Koyie Hill.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I completely forgot he was on the Pirates.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Wow. That was a terrible call, blue.

[Careless]

He keeps throwing pitches that are never, ever close to the plate against DJ that are called for strikes. Fire that man.

[davell]

I wasn't watching earlier, what did Castro do, to get Kaplan doing his best Aramis doesn't hustle routine?

[salukifudd]

Just saying, didn't work the count there.
