  1. They aren't usually. The minors go to 7 IP for each game when they are playing a doubleheader.
  2. Yeah-his OPS is third worst among all qualified players (Omar Visquel and Jason Kendall are the only worse right now). Unfortunately, two Cubs are in the bottom 15-Jacque Jones and Ryan Theriot.
  3. Who in the world was he able to throw out? :shock: Nick Markakis-it was on a 3-1 count, so it might have been a hit and run (similar to how Lee got thrown out either today or yesterday).
  4. The draft is a week from tonight, June 28th.
  5. Barrett flies out to center. He finishes 0-4 with 3 K and a PB. (1 of 2 runners thrown out)
  6. there's nothing to take notice of or adjust to. he does not have the talent to be a starter in the major leagues. he was riding a massive hot streak at the beginning of the year, nothing more, nothing less. Time to bring up EPatt and ride that hot streak. Right now, bringing up another guy who plays 2B won't help very much-they need somebody who can bring some offense to the SS position.
  7. Gagne hasn't gone more than 1 inning in a game all season-so if the Cubs can get to the 10th, it will likely be with a different pitcher on the mound.
  8. 104. There's still a small chance at that number that Lou sends him out there another inning, although it's not as likely as if it were Z or Marquis.
  9. Thank you Lilly for at least after your terrible start coming back and pitching 4 shutout innings, retiring the last 10 guys you faced, and striking out 10 on the day.
  10. The Cubs have had 19 baserunners through 7 innings. The Rangers have had 7 baserunners through 6 innings.
  11. To follow up my last post....he is still on schedule to be back tomorrow right? Lou said in the pregame show that they would be glad to get him back tomorrow, so yes, it looks like he's on schedule.
  12. ? He has been having a rough time with 3B of late. Is this really accurate? I'm asking this to anyone...I've seen him bobble a couple of plays, but he's had at the very least twice as many stellar grabs and saves. I think he's looked pretty good and has made some really nice plays. He did have 2 errors but considering he hasn't been there full time you can't expect much more. Also, if you read the story in the papers that error last night wasn't his fault. His eye had a flare up and he literally couldn't see the ball coming. I think his 4-5 fantastic plays have outweighed his 1 error that he's made. I think he'd do fine at SS still.
  13. Just to give Lee a day off while keeping his bat in the lineup.
  14. I don't understand why Lou would try and use any of them every day. Theriot has been as bad as any Cubs hitter has been for the past two weeks. He can't play everyday. He's still better than Isturiz... Not anytime lately. I think Izturis has actually been better since about May 3rd. You might as well play Izturis for a few days, let Theriot get rested and then get him back in and maybe find a way to have another hot streak, because he's doing absolutely nothing to help the team right now.
  15. I think it's only 8 baserunners, and 7 left on base (2/2 in the first, 3/3 in the second, 2/3 in the third).
  16. Is it really Hoye behind the plate? That is awful-he made a terrible call at one of the bases last night too. Yes, he was the guy who had the horrible strikezone early in the season and was nicknamed "Boyd".
  17. two DL stints because of a hamstring issue, and one because of a calf issue. I wouldn't bother with him. The chances that he will remain healthy are low, and when Lou doesn't play him everyday he will be upset.
  18. Not much in the slugging dept, but OBP high as always. Why did Beane release him? Bradley was pretty upset about not coming back and being a starter. He also has been on the DL 3 different times this season and has only played 7 games in between stints (4 games after his first DL stint then went back on the DL for the second time, then came back and played 3 more before getting put on the DL for the third time, and now has come back and played 1 game).
  19. 1. Floyd not in lineup 2. Lee was scheduled to SH today Oops, meant Pagan over Floyd. As for the second thing, I know that he was scheduled to DH, the question is why? Managers seem to think that it's a way of giving a guy a day off without losing his bat from the lineup.
  20. That doesn't sound right. There's no reason to put Floyd at first unless Lee is hurt or Lou is overreacting to last night's error. Lee was supposed to DH today with Ward at 1st. Maybe Ward is slightly hurt, and rather than change his plans for Lee DH'ing Piniella just stuck Floyd at 1st instead.
  21. BTW, Gameday has Floyd at first and Lee at DH.
  22. Makes you wonder if Ward is feeling all right-he was supposed to play 1B today. That's 6 games in a row for Theriot at SS now-not that it really matters, whoever the team throws out at SS is awful anyway.
  23. I would agree with this. At this point, I don't mind seeing Eyre in close games, but those 4 relievers should be the ones who should be counted on. Eyre can come in when one of the setup men have worked multiple days in order to give them a rest.
  24. Just take the word Premium out of the link-it will take you to the same thread in the regular forum.
