  1. I would have told Milton to take that, hoped he drew a walk and the Brewers brought in McClung (a lefty) to face Ramirez. But then again, Aram did have reverse splits last year, so maybe that wouldn't have been the smartest thing to do.
  2. that was a ball. Yeah...would be a good take on 1-0...but on 3-2?
  3. Remember that period in 2007 when Lee struck out looking like 6 out of every 10 at bats and generally speaking it looked like he was scared to swing the bat and he just hoped he could draw some walks to help the team? Yeah...
  4. If Rich Harden can do it, I will at least leave it open as a possibility. But what you really mean is "cmon lee don't hit into a DP because we want Milton up"
  5. That wasnt Theriots fault, thats on Soriano koyie hill has cost the cubs 2 runs by not knocking in theriot both times he was on base. Well Theriot is a .975 fielder lifetime, and Koyie Hill is a .189 hitter lifetime, but yeah same thing.
  6. #$%# this game is frustrating to watch. Man he screws up that play 9 times out of 10
  7. BTW, thats now 10 pitches and 1 run that Theriot has cost his pitcher today.
  8. That's gonna be a Top 10 play on Sportscenter.
  9. Highly unscientific but Theriot has already cost his pitcher 6 pitches in this game coming into the Looper AB. A pitcher that only throws like 90 pitches all game.
  10. JHC what the hell is going on...another error on Theriot.
  11. Marquis first start for the Rockies vs. the Phillies going on right now... So far... 3.2 IP 3H 2ER 2BB 2K He's also 1-1 with a RBI single and a run scored.
  12. Some of the Brewers fans are commenting on how well Looper is doing....he has a 1.75 WHIP for the game and has thrown 75 pitches through 4 innings...can't see how that's called pitching well.
  13. Flatter breaking pitches + lower quality of pitchers + quality pitchers more concerned with trying to prepare for the season rather than pitching to win the game + ball carries better in Arizona.
  14. Yeesh....7 base runners in 4 innings and only 1 run scored on a solo HR. That's strike 4 on Hill you moron. Yeah you are so clever, you want to walk so that Harden is the one that screws up and ends the inning right?
  15. Thank God...I was going to have to start calling him Milton BADley if he waited a few more ABs to get that hit :)
  16. It sucks when the bases are empty and 2 outs and a 1-2 count on an inferior hitter. You don't expect runs to be scored that inning and it really catches you off guard when it happens.
  17. Dammit At least this is the Rich Harden we all know well. K K K K K GO K K HR K GO PO
  18. Geez, I don't even know if he's average anymore. Maybe as an overall player, but as a first baseman?
  19. 2-0 count...easy popup 3-1 count..easy popup aghhh
  20. I keep telling myself if we keep getting into good counts we'll eventually do some damage, but its frustrating waiting for that to happen.
  21. Can we sticky this thread as yet another reminder that SPRING TRAINING MEANS NOTHING AND YOU SHOULD NOT EVER DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS FROM WHAT YOU SEE THERE. THEY MAY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE JUST PLAYING A REGULAR COMPETITIVE GAME OF BASEBALL BUT THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS WHY WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS DIFFERENT FROM A REGULAR SEASON GAME
  22. OK, I take back my comments in the first inning. Now Harden looks like he's dealing like he did back in July and August.
  23. 4 base runners in 2 innings with no runs for the Cubs and a completely unearned run for the Brewers maybe?
  24. If I was a pitcher, I'd spend my entire downtime from pitching practicing hitting. But I bet there are a billion reasons why that isn't a good idea.
  25. Step into one with a non-vital body part Rich.
