9/24 Cubs (Z!) @ Mets (Perez) 6:10pm The U & ESPN, XM188
Rob replied to Joe_Cub's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Nor should he. Edmonds vs. lefties the last 3 years... 2006 - .156/.198/.281 2007 - .198/.286/.346 2008 - .152/.220/.239 -
Hey, I like Greinke as much as the next guy, but the Royals have said over and over and over and over and over that hes untouchable. There's different levels of untouchable... and Greinke falls somewhere in between Pujols-untouchable and Sam Fuld-untouchable. He can be got.
-
Runners on 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs, and Nate McClouth takes a 3-2 offering from Dave Bush and flies out to Mike Cameron. Dave Bush at 57 pitches through 2 IP.
-
Pirates just tied the Brewers.
-
I hope so. He hasn't pitched enough that I'd want him throwing more than the 75 or so he's already thrown.
-
Meh.
-
It was bad, but I wouldn't call it horrible. We'll see worse this game, I'm sure.
-
Good timing for that then My sentiments exactly.
-
I'd rather trade Marquis for peanuts and let Samardzija and Marshall duke it out for a rotation spot in spring training.
-
His upper body is still bailing, but his foot isn't going as far up the first base line... at least that's what I'm seeing.
-
Cinci is looking to render our make-up game with the Stros unnecessary.
-
I'd like to see him wait for the ball to get further into the hitting zone so he can use some more of his power... but if he can put up his April numbers hitting the ball out in front of the plate, I wont complain.
-
Unscathed.
-
Booyah!
-
That's why it's important to step towards the pitcher instead of bail out... actually have the ability to do something with pitches on the outer third of the plate. Great adjustment by Fukudome.
-
Why does Milt Pappas have to the answer to every trivia question?
-
Soto definitely needs the day off.
-
It's really interesting to compare how the ball flies off his bat with how it comes off Theriot's.
-
Finally adjusting? It would appear so. His stride had looked a bit straighter in the past few games, but it was very blatant there. Whether it stays that way or not is up in the air, but it's a good sign.
-
Facing Johan Santana, not many would look good.
-
It's less ridiculous than the claims that Theriot had gap power.
-
Fukudome's stride was almost straight towards the mound there... interesting.

Who was against the Cubs getting Piniella?

Agreed. At the time I saw him as an angrier, whiter Dusty Baker. I was all about Fredi Gonzalez. -

Guess you can say he was a pleasant surprise :) I don't know about that. He still has had problems allowing rookies to adjust to the bigs... Pie had almost no chance at all, and Fukudome getting benched with the lead we have in the division was just plain stupid. And there's no doubting that he's made plenty of stupid in-game moves... and they seem to come more often in games he deems critical, which makes me nervous about seeing Soto trying to bunt again during the playoffs. He's been better than I expected, but he hasn't been fantastic. -
With the speed they seem to be attributing to him, it seems his range would profile pretty well unless his routes are terrible. He seems to be 75% of the top end projection for Tyler Colvin, basically.
