nice ab, mabry.

Hendry actually said that? Sure did! Murphy mentioned how Oakland A's preaches OBP starting with the lowest levels on the minor leagues and why don't the Cubs. Hendry said if you look at the Stats Oakland is one of the worst in the league in OBP. what a perfect chance to say, "yeah, well you preach average with RISP and the cubs suck at that."
-
dusty's so gonna blame this one on young starting pitching, completely ignoring the fact that the offense was terrible.
-
heh, izturis looked legitimately confused after he got that walk.
-
That's probably a good thing. for those not watching, they showed lee and blanco talking with marmol before the third (a 1, 2, 3 inning). apparently whatever rothschild said to marmol during their multiple conversations the first two innings didn't help as much as lee and blanco's advice.
-
Is that for sure? that's what len said. How stupid can they get? oh, you just wait. it can get worse.
-
heh, dlee's doing more work with marmol than rothschild is.
-
Is that for sure? that's what len said.

so gooz only pitched one inning last night in case the cubs needed to bring him up soon...of course by pitching that one inning, he's probably not available until maybe saturday. and of course, you have the whole thing about how they couldn't get him to chicago by thursday even though he was in des moines on wednesday. well played, cubs, well played.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-2-2006
abuck1220 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
len and bob say guzman was taken out in case the cubs needed him. could the cubs have handled this entire situation any worse? he's too far away in las vegas to make it to chicago to start thursday, but he's not too far away to start in des moines on wednesday. and then he pitches one inning wednesday in case he needs to pitch soon for chicago...even though by warming up and pitching an inning, he probably won't be able to throw again until saturday (?) at the earliest. so that one inning was pretty pointless. wow. -
how is brynes not a cub? speed? check. defense? who knows. hustle? and how. hard work? apparently...he's really dirty. hendry has to be licking his chops.
-
good grief, could marmol ever use another full year in the minors. i've been saying for a while that he's due for a disaster start, so this isn't really a surprise.
-
Yeah he was playing on the track. it hasn't been just today...i think len and bob have commented on it before. i'm just mad that he's played enough for anyone to even notice it.
-
pagan plays the deepest lf i've ever seen.

Walker traded to the Padres
abuck1220 replied to Burtonbell's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
did anybody catch the bit on the colbert report about the walker trade? they were doing a bit where they take calls from "viewers" and one of the callers, who thought he was calling a sports talk show, started in about how the cubs were stupid to trade walker (though he was ok with them trading maddux). he even mentioned ceda by name and noted that walker had the second highest OBP on the team. that's right, even comedy central knows the value of OBP. -
it's shocking that someone who actually believes this would get to such a high-ranking position in baseball.
-
Prior is guranteed to start the season on the DL. Anything else you can guarantee? i don't know how many times we have to have this dicussion...if something happens once, it's a 100% probability that it will happen again. it's math, people.
-
dusty is aware of the concept of air travel, no? guzman wouldn't have to ride a mule from las vegas to chicago. maybe guzman can pick him up a glove on his walk from las vegas.
-
hell, send him out for the 8th.
-
how in the holy hell did those guys remain on the field for so long before monday took the flag away? 2 down!
-
i'm glad hill's going back out for the 7th, but i'm afraid dusty's going to leave him out there too long in the name of saving his bullpen (which is, of course, pointless) and he'll end up tiring and ending the outing on a bad note. at least he has the lower third coming up...
-
the curve to strike out easley was unhittable.
-
Not to change the topic, but isn't it incredible that his average increased this year 31 and 36 points from his previous two seasons, yet his OBP remained the same as '04 and dropped from last year? 14 walks on the season, which is obviously pathetic.
-
he hasn't thrown all that many, but when he has thrown it, he's had better command of it than last time out. fb has been 89-92.
-
big out for hill on a 3-1 pitch.
