    i can't tell you how john patterson is going to pitch tonight, but i can tell you that i like his beard!

    it led to one run. the home runs accounted for four. your point is...?
  3. abuck1220
    you're right...he scored on his homerun b/c he was fast! :D
  4. abuck1220
    Pretty bad when defending someone you can't even defend him and go WAY off topic. Game would've been tied if not for Barrett's 2 bonehead plays. This was only the 2nd game folks, get used to seeing this all year. it's not off topic at all. you said 'chalk this one up to barrett' as if he was the lone reason the cubs lost. that obviously wasn't the case, as evidenced by the walks and home runs.
  5. abuck1220
    yeah, that really pissed me off when he gave up all those walks and home runs.
  6. abuck1220
    10 of the 14 runs scored on homers today.

    speed has gotten the cubs back in this game!

    Guzman was on the hill in Des Moines last night in an exhibition game against the University of Iowa. How did he do? Can't find a box score but the I-Cubs won 20-0. Guzman and Hill both pitched according to the story on the U of I baseball website but nothing on who else threw. The Hawkeyes only had four hits. three of them were off guzman.
  9. abuck1220
    hill or guzman, please.

    i liked it better when the minor league pitchers that should be in the rotation instead of rusch pitched on the same day as him, so it was easier to see how ridiculous it was that the cubs kept rusch in there.

    santos was traded to toronto, by the way.

    i think the reds, royals, pirates, rockies and marlins have the best team chemistry. i guess we'll see how they end up!
  13. abuck1220
    i think speed is more important than chemistry, if that makes anybody feel better.
  14. abuck1220
    wow. i strongly disagree. Well, if you can put together a team with great OBP, power and speed, I'd like it more than if you put together an equivalent team minus the speed. If that's the point, then yeah, okay, I can agree with that. If the argument is the listed "speed team" back a few pages, I think the only reason that team would not finish last is because of Lee and Abreu, where speed is just the finishing touch on what makes them such great players. the part i disagree with is the idea that the speed team will win more games even if the power team scores more runs (assuming pitching is equal). he seems to be saying that if both teams have the same pitching, the fast team (scoring, let's say, 4 runs a game) will win more games than the higher scoring power team (scoring 5 runs a game).
  15. abuck1220
    wow. i strongly disagree.

    Not attempting a pass in football is dumb (unless you have the most unstoppable running game out there), not attempting a SB is not dumb. yeah, the 'two out of three outcomes are bad' theory is ridiculous. the two bad outcomes apply to running the ball as well.
  17. abuck1220
    i saw valdez in mesa, but i didn't see him (or anybody for that matter) throwing. guzman starts tonight for the i-cubs in an exhibition against the univ of iowa.
  18. abuck1220
    that's not the point of this conversation at all. The point is that on a large scale, home runs are better, like with a club that hits over 300 of them. My argument was that, and I'm just using these numbers as an example: a team with 175 home runs and speed is better than a 225 home run team with little speed/baserunning ability. as long we're making proclamations w/ nothing to back them up...a team that has 104 sac bunts is better than a team that has 34 wild pitches.

    Giambi's OBP doesn't count, though, since he's slow. i thought the same thing, but he didn't have any problems scoring on matsui's homer. :D
  20. abuck1220
    who cares if he sucks in the outfield? you gonna bench his .400 obp and 50 homers and put tom goodwin out there? the speed and defense bender that everyone is on is insane.
  21. abuck1220
    same thing happened last year on opening day, and people were saying the same thing. yeah, it'd be great if the cubs could single their way to 17 hits every game, but it ain't gonna happen.

    normally, i would be disappointed that matsui is hitting sixth. but i think he'll have plenty of rbi chances batting behind two .400+ OBP guys. :shock: i may have to change my mvp prediction...
  23. abuck1220
    why is our best (supposedly) set up guy throwing 30+ pitches in a six run game? thankfully tomorrow is an off day.
  24. abuck1220
    i'd have to check on it, but i don't think you can walk across the plate.
