    Wuertz gets out of it with a lineout to center and a groundout. 7-5 Omaha, middle 9.
  2. Jon
    Rapada puts on two and Wuertz is coming in with one out. Here's the recreated Pie chart from his last AB: http://www.jonmdavis.net/piechartrecreated.jpg
  3. Jon
    Pie called out on strikes after getting ahead in the count 2-0.
  4. Jon
    Aardsma pitched two perfect innings in relief for Iowa, striking out one.

    Just a reminder that the Futures game is on tomorrow at 3 PM central on ESPN2. Hopefully EPatt starts and the World Cup is over by then.

    Maybe it's time to make Guzman a closer candidate.Because of a poor performance by a guy who has thrown approximately 50 pitches in the 21 or 22 days before this game?
  7. Jon
    Guzman gives up 3 more in the 4th on 2 singles and 2 doubles.
  8. Jon
    Guzman gives up 2 runs after getting the first two batters: 3 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 47-27 (29 pitches in the 3rd)

    That thing exploded towards the far post.

    Portugal deserved that one.
  11. Jon
    Great shot.
  12. Jon
    I'm disappointed that dive didn't get a yellow card. And then he had the nerve to whine about it to the ref.
  13. Jon
    Portugal will be lucky to go in tied.

    Does Rage Against the Machine have a great album named after a great Marx Brothers movie?

    Yeah, I think so. It'll be a process for everyone this season, but I think this is the best for the program now and for the future. I haven't seen it yet, but he supposedly gave a very good press conference earlier this afternoon.

    Wow, looks like they did (according to rivals.com). I'm pretty surprised with Murphy on this one. It's quite a bold move. I probably speak for most NU fans when I say that a large part of me wanted Fitz to be named the head coach. I don't know if it's the best move, but according to at least one column, Murphy made it pretty clear that he thought having an interim coach for an entire season would have very negative consequences on the program for several years (in terms of both recruiting and the possibility of assistant coaches leaving). I can't disagree with that. There's also been a lot of worry about losing Fitzgerald for good when he would have left for head coaching experience. We'll have to be patient with Fitz and the team, but I'm sure the players are thrilled with it. He seems like the guy that Walker would have wanted. I think the pick will be meaningful to everyone and he's one heck of a recruiter already. It'll be a very tough spot for him, but have no doubts about whether or not he has it in him. With McGee (33) becoming offensive coordinator this season after Dunbar's departure, this is one young coaching staff. http://www.jonmdavis.net/fitzgerald1.jpg

    Northwestern will be naming Randy Walker's successor today at 12:15. There are some rumors that it'll be Pat Fitzgerald, which would be a pretty surprising move, although a little less so considering it is believed that Murphy will not use an interim tag. Most people want him to be the future of the program, but he's only 31. I believe he'd be the youngest coach in college football by 5 years. Unfortunately I'll be on campus working out during the press conference, most likely, but I hope to hear something while I'm there.

    Did Megadeath have George Harrison? Didn't think so. At least they're going to lose to the eventual winners.
  20. Jon
    Yup. You don't keep quiet for years and turn down a managerial spot to return to the team if strongly disagree with how the pitchers are being used (which a good pitching coach would). The abuse and bullpen mismanagement tell us all we need to know about Larry. Either he is incompetent or he just won't speak up. Having one of those qualities is enough to be canned.

    Ligtenberg should have some value to some team. He'll be 36 next year and four years removed from his last effective season. Considering he's not on the 40-man roster, he probably doesn't have much value to the Cubs right now. I do like those 4 walks in 31.1 IP, though.
  22. Jon
    He's only been doing this for a month or so, though. In a month with New Hampshire (AA) earlier this year, he hit .215/.266/.300. For his career coming into this season, he was hitting .259/.320/.360. He's not old for AA, but he will turn 24 next month. He's repeating AA and put up a .691 OPS in 489 ABs least year. He needs more than a month to show that he's living up to his draft spot. He also sounds very similar to Pagan. Throughout their careers, neither has shown much power, they don't walk enough, they strike out a ton, and they don't steal effectively despite being fast.

    So long as it's interim, who cares. I guess I just don't really see it as much of a change from Dusty. "Hey, Dusty, Big Z is up to 130 pitches. Should we do something?" "Dusty?" "Hellooooo?" "Oh, right, he was canned." .......... "Well, he can throw 140. But maybe I'll start to get the 'pen up just in case."

    I was under the impression that ESPN had no control over the camera shots and that it was strictly the world feed (replays included). Is that correct? Covering up the guy with the ball with large graphics while stuff is happening isn't a good idea. And the half-time and post-game shows, while getting a bit better, have really been disappointing.
