How? Nobody was at 2B. neifi was in la la land.
-
take that, edmonds.
-
haha, BB making fun of Santo's dog. nice.
-
That would have been well worth it. And then Baker should ask to see the ball...and inspect Pujols's bat.
-
OK, Morgan. :lol:
-
nice. pierre's starting to fire it up when we need it.
-
So far this year he has a 4.5 ERA. how many tackles? that's the really important stat when looking at relievers.
-
who's going to play 1B for the pirates if Wilson is traded?
-
that's fine, novoa. your stats don't look pretty, but that was a good inning.
-
nice job, novoa. you managed to get Pujols out. 8)

I'm sorry if this wasn't you, but were you the one saying that Ronny is crap a couple weeks ago? Just trying to remember. yup, although that was more in reference to his vaunted D. Right, I could swear that was in a thread comparing the teams in the NL central as a whole, not just defense. It initially started in a game thread after another Cedeno airmail package to 1st. Then someone whined in the thread you remember, complaining that I'd have the audacity to call Cedeno "crap."

Baker believes that only CF, 2B and SS's can hit 1st or second. I do think Ronny could be a decen 2 though. i don't think his hitting style fits the 2 hole with Pierre leading off. he spoils a lot of pitches and doesn't take many. it's pretty hard to nab a bag when that happens. we could have had men at 3rd and 2nd. with a Cedeno double, that's 2 runs, not 1. just a little more patience early in the count. I have to admit I haven't seen a lot of Cub games lately but Ronny was fine in his pitch selection last year near the end before he got hurt. It's not really a matter of pitch selection. It's willing to put yourself behind in the count (potentially) b/c you're taking a few pitches. Ronny is not a great 2 strike hitter. He really expands the zone. Maybe he's learned to get away from that by swinging early at stuff that looks good. That's not bad, but it's not what you want in the 2 hole with a premiere basestealer on 1st. I think it depends on the situations and I think Cedeno can handle those situations. Yes, at times he needs to work a count but he has to be able to get on base too. he's been getting on base at a decent rate b/c his BA is ridiculous.

It's pretty hard for Pierre to nab a bag when Dusty has Cedeno bunting almost every AB. true dat. it just reminds me of neifi batting in the 2 hole, fouling off pitch after pitch with pierre green lighted, looking to nab a bag. not cool. There is no comparison b/n Cedeno and Neifi. One is hitting .370, the other .208. If Cedeno keeps hitting doubles and triples, I could care less if he does it on the first pitch! I like Ronny in the 2 hole. Both spoil a ton of pitches early in the count. Watch how Walker hits in the 2 hole and how Cedeno hits. Huge difference in approach.

I really believe Ronny is a better choice to bat 2nd than Neifi...by a wide margin. :D No doubt. Neifi belongs in the 8 spot or on the bench.

it's definitely a case of the best trade is the one you never made.
-
Are you thinking #3? :D nah. he's just too aggressive for a 2 hole hitter.
