  1. They are using Go Cubs Go again on the radio. :D
  2. The radar gun was off. I don't think he actually topped 90. doh, they need to fix those radar readings.. :? Actually, they did fix it during the game. :)
  3. I see Ronny is getting another test today. Hopefully, he is patient and gets good pitches to hit (or takes some walks).
  4. Only if you actually meant Kimmy Gibbler. Then you'd just be weird. I'm almost embarrassed to say I know who that is! :lol:
  5. In general, that has been his problem but that really wasn't evident today. Frandsen got a bloop hit ahead of the homer. It can happen to any pitcher. He finished off more hitters today than recent memory. 3.1 IP/ 4H / 2R / 2 ER/ 4SO/1 HR Yes, more hitters than in recent memory. But he's still not at 03 levels. He may never be again but that doesn't mean he can't be very effective.

  7. Ohman might be used as more than a LOOGY this year.
  8. Lou is probably playing a matchup while trying to get Ohman some work against a lefty.
  9. A changeup is not hard on your arm. Not much different from a fastball except for the grip. Not like a curve or slider that you have to "cut". Fair enough. He must have lost confidence in it--in games at least.
  10. I highly doubt that is the reason. Why not? It's that or he doesn't feel he needs to use it/is uncomfortable using it. Like I said, it doesn't look like he's missing a pitch. If we didn't know his previous scouting report it wouldn't be an issue.
  11. Maybe they told him not to throw it to keep him healthy. Looks like he can make them miss without it.
  12. I wouldn't say his stuff has looked "really, really good". He throws hard and that's about it. When they hit him, they hit him pretty hard. He's made some very nice adjustments to his mechanics as well as to his go-to pitch. He his getting them to miss more often than not now.
  13. Guzman used to pitch on the right side of the rubber--he said it was Maddux that recommend he make the change...
