    Come on Ramirez, let's wake up.

    How so? And Marquis barely misses a hr. How so what? Cesar doing anything more than a 1 pitch out is an accomplishment. Pirates radio guys are talking about doing promos and stuff. One guy has said, "Did I read the wrong thing?" about 5 times so far.

    Cesar taking 5 pitches before making an out is pretty impressive. These Pirates radio guys on XM are very confused.

    Ramirez and Barrett have really cooled off just as Jones, Soriano and Floyd woke up from their slumber.

    I don't think so. I don't believe that he has enough power to be "very good" among leftfielders. I think he can be a little above average at the position. There were 11 teams that had an OPS over 800 out of LF last year. 9 who were over 850 and 6 over 900. 850 is probably on the low end for Murton's future OPS. But as we all know, OBP is the more important of the stats in OPS, and Murton is OBP heavy. That's a good thing. He's already above average, he could easily be very good. He'll probably never be great, but he could do what Matsui was doing at his best, 125 or higher OPS+.

    Are you suggesting they could/should trade one of them?
  8. jersey cubs fan
    Ramirez is in a seriously funk right now. I think his OPS in the last 7 is about 300.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    Because he's playing the least amount.

    When Soriano moved to LF, Murton became a bench player. Jones is the starter in right, with Murton and Floyd getting a good amount of time there as well. Murton is not getting a good amount of time in right. If you believe the back injury kept him out of the games before the off day last week, then since Soriano moved to LF Murton has started twice in right over a 5 game period. If you believe that, well, have fun. I believe in facts and the fact is Murton is getting screwed.

    Murton is better than Pie right now and more deserving of a starting job. Although I'm not any less annoyed that Pie is sitting, he has been getting a ton more playing time than Murton.

    Hopefully starting in Iowa soon. This is getting ridiculous.

    I believe it was this past year. I think the old rule would have awarded this game to Pitts, since they led the last complete inning.

    Assuming Wade Miller's injury was just a "mystery" to buy the Cubs some time on trying to figure out what to do with him, I am wondering if Hendry might make a call to Brian Cashman. If he talked to him right after Cashman's press conference last night, he might have fooled him into such a move. But I don't see the Yankees biting on such a worthless pitcher who can't even compete against NL lineups. The Yanks are stearing clear of NL pitchers since feeling they got burned by Pavano, Johnson and Wright, all coming off nice seasons in the NL. I could see them going after some second rate guys right now, but I can't see them taking Miller. That's especially true since what they need more than anything is a pitcher who can throw 6 innings. They should go get Kevin Millwood.

    better go grab lunch or get some work done

    I agree that you have to do what you have to do to win the first. I just think it's pretty clear this will affect Dempster, and kind of ridiculous to suggest there is no difference. I don't understand how it's ridiculous to think 5 more pitches is gonna make that big of a difference. If he could have gotten out of the 9th with 15-17 pitches, I don't think there would have been any problem going in game 2. Warmup pitches are overrated. He'll be warm having already pitched, and doesn't need to throw actual game pitches to get warm again. A: The fact that he had to pitch in the 8th just increased the odds that he'd struggle more in the 9th. Dempster is a 1 inning pitcher, throwing him off that routine throws off everything. B: Warm up pitchers are not overrated. A manager who routinely gets guys up and sits them down before finally bringing them in taxes those arms, see Dusty Baker. It's tough enough to ask a closer to go more than 1 inning, or to pitch in more than one game in the same day. Asking for both would be pressing things quite a bit. It's absurd to think there is no difference.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Had he started the game in the 9th, warming up only once, and got through it unscathed. He's probably still available for game 2. Starting the first game in the 8, even if it was just 1 more out, completely changes that.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Now go win this series.

  22. jersey cubs fan
    Or, the closer is due up next.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Shoot. They're never going to learn.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Is there really a significant difference between asking him to get three outs or four? Magic 8-ball says not likely. Actually yes. Dempster had to warm up to pitch this inning. He threw 5 pitches. He will warm up again next inning, then throw how ever many pitches. Considering that the vast majority of the time Dempster will warm up and throw one time a day. I don't see him being expected to come back 3-4 hours from now and pitching again.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Is Dempster really in now? You're pretty much going to burn him up for today if you ask him to get 4 outs right now.
