Yup-he pitched last week, and then he pitched on Monday after Guzman came out. He might have had one other appearance in between then, but I'm not sure.
-
Some hitters have done very well up and down the lineup today: Theriot- 5-6 Jones-4-6, and then 2 people inserted much later Pagan-1-1, with a BB Lee-2-2 Also, great for Barrett to come through-he was the only non-pitcher with more than 1 AB to not get a hit today before that single.
-
What happened there? Fred has a ground ball double play and Gameday has Theriot getting doubled off of first (although a 4-6-3 line drive they say)-which is it?
-
This one is correct. Morandini received a point in the MVP voting that year, and Beck received 5.
-
Wow-I just went and looked up the Cubs statistics from that year, and that led me to the MVP voting that year-not only did Sosa win the MVP, but 2 other Cubs were among the 24 who got at least 1 MVP point. Anyone know without looking who those two other Cubs were? Just a guess but Kerry Wood and Mark Grace Those are two good guesses, but surprisingly neither of those is right. Beck and Tapani? Beck is correct-Tapani is incorrect. Henry Rodriguez is the other one, then. You would think so-but that is incorrect also. Beck is the first one, still waiting on the second one.

Third time I've posted this. Restovich's Major League numbers against LHPs is .280/.340/.430. Perfect platoon partner for Jones. This would certainly be better than Jones hitting against lefties, but I wouldn't want those numbers going in for a guy who only is going to hit against left handers. Surely we can find a person for 2007 that can hit one side of the plate better than that.
-
Please elaborate. :lol: After pierre lazily fielded the ball, allowing Snell to go to third, Aramis threw his hands in the air and leaned his head back. He was obviously frustrated. A-Ram is pissed at someone else for dogging it? That's a hoot!!!!! I'm sorry, but until the rest of this team produces 1/4 of what Aramis does year in and year out, I'll continue to give him free pass after free pass, while I will not for someone like Pierre. Well, I just reviewed the play-believe me, with Pierre's arm, he was not getting him at third-not a chance.

I hope you're joking there..considering Bynum was on the other side of second on that play. its his job to back 2nd up on that play, and by the time he was over there, he almost could have had that, at least it looked like that, but he just lolli-gaged it and wathed the ball go into CF I didn't see him over that far. I'm just not sure how a guy playing 2B is supposed to be able to cut off an errant throw by the pitcher that is several feet wide on the shortstop side of second..that is a long way to go in a very short amount of time. naaaaaaaaaaaa....SS is ranging towards 1st, 2nd is ranging towards LF, bynum had a better angle and momentum to get to that then Theriot did... Well, in that I would agree with you. Zambrano's throw gave Theriot absolutely no chance to catch it. I just don't think Bynum could have gotten to it either, although you are right that his momentum could have possibly given him a small shot at it (I think the throw was too hard for that)-it was just the 1st of two terrible fielding plays by Z that have cost him all 4 of the runs he's given up.

I wish we could see this Cubs philosophy at the plate every game. They've taken pitches, only hit balls early in the count if they were good strikes, and have done a very good job battling late in the count today.
-
Nice to see Z get out of the 1st without a ton of pitches. The first couple innings (and the last inning he pitches) have really been where he's limiting himself by throwing too many pitches to get the outs he needs.
-
Zambrano more than any other player I have ever known has me holding his breath to make sure he's not hurting himself and laughing at the same time-a very strange sensation.

NL MVP- Breaking Down the Contenders.
CubColtPacer replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah, I was just watching that on the replay from that show. It was actually Bill Plaschke who said that Pujols had no chance-he gave it to Beltran because of his higher OPS than Howard has. I have no idea if he was going to use OPS why he didn't pick Pujols considering Pujols has the highest by far of any of them. By the way, for those who are scoring at home (just for entertainment value, not for their opinion as serious baseball experts) Blackistone voted for Howard, Mariotti firmly voted for Howard, Woody voted for Pujols, and Plaschke as I said above voted for Beltran (which is an ok choice) but of course said Pujols had no chance, which the host didn't agree with. Believe me, I don't listen to this show for serious analysis-but it is entertaining. -
Yup-a phenomenon that is happening intermittently the last 3-4 weeks, one that is actually well reasoned out. Wow, and it took Dusty how long in the season to figure it out? Well, in defense, the only time there was a person Dusty probably should have played there was the short amount of time when Restovich was up. Other then that, who were you going to put out there for most of the season?

I sure hope we do not sign a player like Guillen for the outfield. That is the exact type of player we do not need-Guillen has always hit better against right handers than left handers for some reason. We need to find a guy who can drill left handed pitching so we can platoon him with Jacque. Any opinions out there on who that guy could be (if we don't go home-grown and go with somebody like Restovich)?

Baker: Lee would've won us 10-15 games on his own
CubColtPacer replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I definitely agree with that. Because of the two infield situations we used most often (Walker at second/Mabry at first, or Neifi at second/Walker at first) Lee's at bats would essentially come at the expense of Neifi/Mabry. If replacing one of the worst hitters in the game with one of the best hitters in the game only results in 2-3 extra wins, then how is a bad team ever going to become good? -
I believe they said that he changed numbers the day after Neifi left.
-
11 walks in August for Jones..and he has been called out on strikes on a 3-2 pitch and walked twice tonight.
-
Well, a strange way to do it..but 2 runs out of a bases loaded 0 out situation is all right-not great, not terrible.

Did Dusty Baker invent the high-five?
CubColtPacer replied to Electron Blue's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Before or after the internet? :) After..he turned around and high fived his assistant when it was done :D
