    I think a lot of the pitchers they have faced so far are pretty good control pitchers, and aren't going to walk a lot of guys, so they are free swinging a little bit more because they aren't going to draw many walks against these guys.

    What about Ward in RF?
  3. BigbadB
    Ramirez looking good defensively. The official scorekeeper should remove the error from yesterday's game since it wasn't an error.

    Cubs bats looking good against top pitching. Let's just hope they fare better this year against the pitchers we've never heard of.
  5. BigbadB
    Obliged!

    Pittsburgh is working Harang pretty good.

    :evil: If I miss a perfect game I'll sue FOX Now why you wanna go and say such a thing? :axe:

    this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened this year. If it happens too much more, I may come to expect it every now and then. It's so scary raising expectations of this team. We can get rid of about 4 relievers if they can keep getting it to the 8th inning. :D

    I'm going to unhijack this thread. I went out to dinner last night so I had to tape the Cubs game. There is nothing better than not knowing the outcome of a game and watching it with no commercials. Especially when the innings keep flying by and you have a guy throwing a no hitter. I was flying through that game anxiously awaiting to see how well Hill through in the next frame. That first strike out pitch to Richie Weeks was a thing of beauty. I was telling the wife when he had Weeks 0-2 "here comes the filthy nasty." Sure enough, the bottom dropped out and Weeks flailed away at thin air. She has a whole new respect for Hill's breaking ball now.

    I thought the ump was squeezing him a bit in game 1.

    We? I was perfectly fine with yesterday's line up. I thnk he is referring to the mini-meltdown that occurs everytime Murton is not in the lineup. I like Murton as much as the next guy, but Floyd is going to get some starts. Luckily, it doesn't appear as though it's going to be an absolute platoon. Murton is starting against Sheets today.

    Cedeno made sense, IMO. With Blanco back now, Murton will probably jump ahead of Cedeno for RH PH at bats now that he's no longer the emergency catcher.
  14. BigbadB
    Good enough. Just looking for some clarity in "we".

    We? I was perfectly fine with yesterday's line up.

    I do think Izturis is in the 2nd spot is because of Blanco, which should limit the number of times he actually is in the 2 spot this year. Also, if Theriot, Izturis, and Blanco play together on any days, my guess is that Theriot will be in the 2 spot by Lou's usage patterns-Izturis probably will be in the 2 spot less than 20 times this year. This might have been a good day to give Theriot a start. Sheets doesn't give up many walks, but if anyone can draw one off of him, it might just be Theriot.

    My appreciation level for Lou just dropped a notch. And it's not like Izturis has ever had success against Sheets. Hopefully, this line up concoction will be short lived. After 4 games last year, I had a long list of things that I felt Dusty did wrong. After 4 games with Lou, the only thing I've second guessed on him is taking out Marquis an inning early. Not bad. I'm second guessing him on Izturis, and I hope I end up being wrong and Izturis has a great day in the 2 hole. But, Izturis just isn't an OBP hog and he's better suited to hit at the bottom of the order.
  18. BigbadB
    If a guy is having success in a particular spot in the line up, why deviate away from it? Izturis hitting well in the 8 spot is good for Soriano. Meanwhile, DeRosa, Murton or Jones is a much better option hitting 2nd.
  19. BigbadB
    Top 5? What are you, nuts? Only the Milwaukee Brewers have ever even heard of Rich Hill. I must be nuts too, because I'm picking him for top 5 as well. The real question is whether Zambrano can get himself back in the top 5.
  20. BigbadB
    Whoops. Nevermind.
  21. BigbadB
    The State of Illinois will change their license plate slogan to: Land of Rich Hill

    I agree that DePo was let go way too soon. Very few GM's are going to get the results they are looking for in such short order. The Dodgers were in need of change and DePo was doing exactly what that team needed.
  23. BigbadB
    Top 10 isn't bold. Top 5 is. Come on. Go for it. I just might.

    Uh, why is Izturis hitting 2nd? ](*,)
