    Defensive replacement.

    We need some kind of Designated Answerer for game threads... every question is answered by 5+ posts.
  3. Sarcastic
    Well, Yahoo sucks. They just finished the top of the 5th, 7-3 Cubs.
  4. Sarcastic
    There shouldn't be. He's been our best player for 3 years. Best position player. I'd argue Big Z as the best Cubs player though during that time period. In 2005, I think Lee has to get some credit.

    Again, I hate Bonds. We should bring Eyre in just for his next AB to throw at his head.
  6. Sarcastic
    I hate Bonds. He should throw him a few purpose pitches.

    http://www.realgm.com/boards/baseball/viewtopic.php?t=3284&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=48 You have got to be kidding. Do we have any sources for this rumor besides the message board link? I also find it hilarious that all the Brewers fans were whining about the rumor because Dunn can't hit with RISP.

    Mets had tied it up 4-4, but the Padres get a run n the bottom of the 8th. 5-4 Padres still bottom 8th.
  9. Sarcastic
    Uh... this is the fourth game of the series.

    It doesn't seem to be working on my computer. What exactly did Hendry say that led you to believe that?
  11. Sarcastic
    Not necessarily. If Kendall struggles the rest of the season and somebody else steps up then Kendall may not be re-signed even with Hendry in charge. Hill has suddenly caught fire since the trade was announced. I don't expect that to continue, but IF it does that may influence the decision. He's had a couple good games. That's not likely to last. My point is I don't see anybody in the system who could possibly emerge to change their mind. What more could Soto have done to date to earn a shot? I doubt they see Kendall as a long term acquisition. Have we seen any actual indications that they plan to re-sign him? I don't know who they want to replace him with, but unless he has a very good second half, I doubt that the new management will want to keep on a declining mid 30s catcher.

    I know the Cubs are going to win anyway, but why send out Gallagher for a fourth inning?
  13. Sarcastic
    The Giants... BTW, I'm referring to the Giants need Kendall in the Cubs lineup I thought you meant that he'd fit in with the other old guys.
  14. Sarcastic
    Either the gun is slow or Zambrano is getting tired early. A couple of mid 80s sinkers. Then a few 60 mph breaking pitches. Maybe the gun is slow, then.
  15. Sarcastic
    No. It was hit hard, but would normally have been an out.
  16. Sarcastic
    Tomorrow's headline: Hell freezes over: Two worst hitters ever get 4 RBIs.
  17. Sarcastic
    Klesko sucks!
  18. Sarcastic
    Jones with the inning ending (choose one: K, GB, FO).
  19. Sarcastic
    Is the twist that it sucks?
  20. Sarcastic
    I think it's fair to directly compare Kendall and Aramis. Both are former Pirates. Both are right-handed hitters. They're both human males.

    From my previous post: I'm not even saying it was definitely a Zambrano-Barrett issue, just that it seemed weird that 19 of 20 Zambrano starts correlate to either pitching well without Barrett back there or pitching poorly with Barrett back there. It's the weirdest pitcher-catcher correlation I've ever seen. If there indeed was an issue, though, then obviously something had to be done to fix the "staff ace". Either tell Zambrano to suck it up, work with Barrett to figure out what's up, or trade one of them. Obviously, Hendry chose option C and dumped Barrett. If there was a track record of pitchers not liking catchers leading to them sucking, then I would take this seriously. But it could easily be a coincidence. How about Zambrano just was in a slump for a myriad of other possible reasons? Or maybe his competition was tougher when Barrett was pitching. Or... you get the idea.
  22. Sarcastic
    I think it's critical because I see the first game of the Dbacks series as a throw away. You can see it as whatever you like. It is one game, and the DBacks really aren't any good. Check out their stats. Luckiest team in baseball.
  23. Sarcastic
    That I agree with. If the Cubs had to get rid of Barrett to keep Zambrano, I am all for getting rid of Barrett. Sure, but they didn't have to. That was the point. The numbers from this season are a meaningless sample size with plenty of varying factors. Checking out Barrett's overall numbers catching the staff in the time he's been here, he has been fine catching the Cubs pitchers. It's not so much a meaningless sample size, at best it's an odd coincidence that every single one of Zambrano's 8 poor starts were with Barrett catching, and 13 of his 14 other starts were with someone else catching. Is it Zambrano's problem as much as Barrett's? Absolutely, but something had to be done to fix the situation. Apparently, Hendry picked to dump Barrett. No, something did not have to be done, because there was no real problem. The numbers you showed are meaningless. Look at Barrett's numbers catching the staff over a longer period of time, and you can clearly see that there is very little variation.
  24. Sarcastic
    Cubs lose. Oh well. There will be more.
  25. Sarcastic
    It could happen, but I don't think their luck will hold up tonight, the way they have been hitting.
