  1. He's not aggressive enough, dude.
  2. As far as you could tell, did Taylor throw many breaking balls or changeups? Did he throw curveball (easier to recognize)? If not, maybe he's a fastball/slider guy? How did Avery look? Hard to tell, and they are probably both somewhere around 90, so probably can't really tell. But if you had to guess, between Taylor and Avery, which would you guess threw harder? Does Carter look like an ordinary guy? Or does he obviously look stronger than other guys? Thanks. too bad no radar. I'm not very good at figuring out what pitches someone's throwing. I think Taylor threw some curveballs, but I really couldn't tell that well. I couldn't tell who threw harder between Taylor and Avery. Carter is 6' 3" and weighs 215 pounds, so I'd guess he probably looks stronger. I wasn't really paying attention to him. The main reason I went was to see Taylor pitch. Sorry.
  3. OK. I'm back. Notes from the Chiefs game. The radar gun wasn't working, so I have no idea what kind of arm Taylor has. What impressed me the most about his outing was no walks. It's very rare to see a Cubs pitcher not named Maddux do that. He also reminded me of Maddux when he made a nice play on a ball hit right back to him. Norwood is a big guy and he made a nice play at first on a fairly sharply hit grounder. Carter made a nice running catch in right field and flexed his muscles with a home run just to the left of straightaway center. I'd guess it went around 400 feet. That's all I can think of right now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
  4. Why is everyone so anxious to trade Jones? Sure, Hendry overpaid some, but Jones is on pace for the best season of his career and he's been basically the best player on the darn team! He just needs a platoon partner since he can't hit lefties.
  5. You'll get to see yourself pitch! Yep. That's why I chose today to go.
  6. I'm going to the Chiefs game today!
  7. Speaking of Scott Taylor, I'm going up to Peoria today to watch myself pitch.
  8. At least Eyre is actually good.
  9. Who gets to start the All-Star game thread?
  10. You can't walk across home plate.. :wink: Tell that to Nevin.
  11. That just makes the Cubs' victory even more amazing.
  12. UberGoober also has a 3-game winning streak.
  13. Not too shabby. :) Good to see the BBs down. 12 K's? Dayum.
  14. Don't get greedy. That would be like hoping for the Pirates to win the World Series.
  15. A 4-page thread. That's hilarious.
  16. Are you dyslexic? The Cubs are winning 2-1.
  17. Hopefully Pie's starting to work out of his funk. 2-4 with a BB isn't bad.
  18. That's how amazing Zambrano is. I think Zambrano does actually a little more run support, although Fred's numbers could be skewed because of the 15-run outburst against the White Sox.
  19. Did they do that in the 15-11 win over the White Sox?
  20. What? The Cubs scored a run with the bases loaded and 0 outs? That's not supposed to happen.
  21. Is Willis that good, or is Lima that bad?
  22. I think it's safe to say no one cares anymore.
  23. How in the world did Pierre hit a ball deep enough into the outfield for a ground-rule double?
