    what did Hill do today?

    Hart was doing a press conference with his daughter sitting on his lap and the whole team came into the room with beer/champagne bottles and mauled him and sprayed him down (and his daughter) with alcohol.

    The only pitchers he had left was Harang, Volquez, and Cueto. I don't blame him for using Harang, but the problem I have with it is pitching him 3 days later. Should have called somebody up and skipped his start. Smart teams have forced position players to pitch rather than hurt their ace. One game, especially to the reds who aren't in the race, is not worth losing Harang for any period of time. Exactly. However, everyone who visits NSBB is quite aware that Dusty isn't smart. Heck, I would have put the big boy (Harang) at 1b and let whoever was playing 1st have a crack at the rotation. When a game gets to the point where you have zero bench left other than your other starters, it's time to let anyone who isn't a rotation guy pitch if they want to pitch. The outcome of one game should never take precedence over the outcome of a career. Yeah I'd throw a position guy first. Just tank it, who cares it's one game and not worth the many games Harang will probably now be out. Didn't some team just throw a position player a couple days ago too? Padres maybe? Mariners had their backup catcher pitch in a tied extra inning game. Riggleman is light years ahead of Dusty but has never had "the horses". Talk about perception not being reality in quality of managers.

    They seem generally pretty reasonable over ther with the occasional nut who thinks the Brewers got totally screwed or the Cubs gave up a bunch of nothing for Harden. Overall pretty good analysis with a few of the level headed ones realizing how much every team's fans hype their own prospects.

    Depends if you count Puerto Rico as US territory or not well it ain't English language territory I think you'd be surprised by how much english is spoken down there, or at least how many people speak it pretty well. (I have a Puerto Rican sister in law, so I'm not just completely talking out my butt)

    Rich Harden is a motherfreaking Cub!!!!!!!!!!! And I am gay for Soto, Wood, Ramirez, Lee and possibly Harden. Those are two new developments Fred. Don't you have work to do?

    Nice range by Fonty. PC for Demp?
  8. mul21
    And apparently that pitch is strike 3 to Kosuke but a ball for Demp?
  9. mul21
    Ump in the Philly game just called an ankle high slider that was 3-4 inches outside a strike that should have been ball 4 and Werth pops out on the next pitch.
  10. mul21
    Demp's getting squeezed on the inside corner to the LH hitters.

    Harang's been terrible ever since Dusty pitched him for 63 pitches out of the pen 2 days after he threw 103. Then 3 days later he got shelled throwing 73 more pitches. Imagine throwing 239 pitches in 3 outings over a 6 day span having an adverse effect on you being able to pitch effectively in future games.

    PC?
  13. mul21
    and the PH catcher hits into a DP. Awesome.
  14. mul21
    Phils with 2 on one out and a pitching change for the Cards.
  15. mul21
    Camera just showed a shot of the problem. what would that be?
  16. mul21
    does Harang look a little chunkier than he used to?
  17. mul21
    How many did he throw the other night in his 4 IP? Must have been at least 50 with all the Ks. I would think next outing you could get him to 70-75, maybe 80-85 the one after that and then 90-100 the 3rd start. I don't see a huge issue as long as he can keep throwing strikes.
  18. mul21
    I thoroughly enjoyed my view from the 1st base side about 2/3 of the way down the line. The shade was definitely a good place to be. Since I haven't read the entire thread, was there upheaval when Johnson didn't go halfway so he could score on Lee's "single"? Just curious, because I was pissed when I saw how he played that particular situation. And WTF was Quade thinking sending Ward? And what was Lou thinking leaving him in to run in the 1st place?
  19. mul21
    Pedro throwing fastballs at 86. He seems to have gotten his crap together and is mixing his pitches well and keeping the Cards on their heels a little. Most importantly, he's getting ahead in the count. And Reyes craps the bed. Vance: Is #2 Carrie Underwear or Simpson?
  20. mul21
    Ugh I know, it's brutal. I'm up late anyway with a screaming baby, so no real inconvenience for me at this point. I mean, other than the lack of sleep due to the SCREAMING BABY. I'm not sure who it was, but "News flash baby, I need sleep occasionally". Derwood maybe?

    We'll have some very important pieces back, so I don't see that happening. And the Cards have no one with stuff in the same realm as Cain's. Regardless of whom we were facing tonight, we played poorly. Too many strikeouts looking (in fairness, a big zone, but you must adjust), that steal attempt in the first should have drawn no throw from Soto but instead the Giants scored a run, no clutch hits, etc... Let's face it, that was as frustrating a game as I've seen in a little while and I'm pissed. Well, when the pitches the called 3rd strikes are on are unhittable because they're 8-10 inches off the plate, I can't complain about the hitting much. That, and the umps zone went from huge outside corner on the LH side of the plate early to huge corner on the RH side of the plate later in the game. His zone was pretty inconsistent the whole game IMO. Unfortunatley, one of the few good outings we'll probably see from Marquis the rest of the way was wasted.

    Yes, I know this has been brought up ad nauseum, but how much affect do they really have on what we perceive to actually be the strike zone when watching on TV? Last night's game was entirely frustrating to watch because of the way the strike zone was being called and I'm not sure if the ump was really that horrible or if he just had a big corner on one side of the plate. The RH batters box strike zone seemed to be gigantic and got bigger as the game went on. Marquis either wasn't getting the same calls or was just unable to take advantage of it.

    Ron: How fast was that pitch? Pat: 122 mph. We strive for accuracy here on Cubs radio. Awesome. I love Pat.
  24. mul21
    Yeah it destroyed the Hornets and Jazz franchises. In principle, I agree with you, but Paul and Williams both had at least 2 years in college and played much better competition on a regular basis than Rose just because of the conferences they were in. I do think Rose should be in there right away unless he does something to prove otherwise and Hinrich needs to be gone before camp starts.

    Thank you very kindly (in my best Morgan Freeman voice)
