Cmon Soto GS, then just leave Lieber in. -
Fukudome on base 5 times today.
-
Pie swung at 3 balls in a row after the pitcher walked the previous two guys. :confused:
-
So help me God, Felix better have a take sign until there's a strike.
-
Theriot is so gritty, he is one with the ground. Since the ground touches second base, by proxy, he is also touching second base, and is thus safe.
-
I'll go with 4-pitch walk, followed by a hit-and-run call on the next pitch with Felix that ends up being an inning-ending lineout-triple play.
-
Lieber has pretty strong lefty/righty splits. But Bautista is a lefty too. And better than Malphabet.
-
I got a feeling Pie is going to come up with a game winner.
-
Why IBB the mighty Mientkiewicz with 2 outs?
-
They were more concerned about Fukudome on base than the batter. No chance to steal. Bunt for what, so Lieber could drive him in? Lieber batted because the Cubs are out of extra players.
-
Leave Lieber in, since the Cubs are out of pitchers, too.
-
New proposed rule: You get 3 pickoff chances per AB. After that, it's a balk.
-
"Next time"? What was the last time, running out to Howry during the Rockies game to shoot the breeze? :)
-
I'd use Lieber a good 4-5 innings if the Cubs continue to not score. After that, go with Wednesday's proposed starter, since there's a day off anyway.
-
Technically, only one of the errors really affected the score. Both Cedeno's and Ramirez's throws were on IF singles, so if anything they both just made the runs score faster. Lilly was awful, though, especially with the walks, given a 7-run lead.
-
So, did the outside corner recently move 6 inches?
-
See, now you've done it.
-
On the bright side, Soriano's overdue for good contact.
-
Theriot, Soriano, Johnson in the 10th. Maybe they'll get to the 11th.
-
Pirates get that insurance run into scoring position with 2 outs...I guess...
-
Lieber in, at least walks won't be a problem.
-
For a lot of players. But given Cedeno's makeup and skills, they probably aren't the best indicator for him. I addressed this a few pages ago. I would argue 500 AAA ABs in 2007 are a better indicator than 70 MLB ABs. I also addressed this a few pages ago. That's a funny way to skew the stats. What skewing? Those are his 2007 stats. No funny business involved.

I'd say push the lead to four to prevent Marmol from having to throw, but...let's push the lead to 10, because if Marmol isn't throwing, Howry will.
-
Decent, perhaps. The major obstacle to that at this point is that he's likely 9th in the pecking order for a starter this year, behind the current rotation and Lieber, Marshall and Gallagher. Basically, I don't see it happening this year, barring some huge transactions involving 3 of the guys above him.
