It was most likely dirt? A guy just likes touching a dirt spot on his hat for no reason in particular? I don't get it. If he really was going to his hat multiple times, and in the same spot, I have to believe that it wasn't dirt he was playing touchy feely with. The thing is, it didn't look THAT dark. At least not as dark as the spot that Rogers had. My thinking is maybe that it's just what he does on the mound. Z grabs his balls, Webb grabs his hat...you know..whatever works for you. And if he continually touched the same spot it would start to get discolored. However, I still really wish someone would have called him on it just to make sue.

NLDS Gm 2: Cubs (Lilly) at D'Backs (Davis) 9 PM TBS, 720
Roast replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I like Dero batting second, but I'd take your lineup as well. -
I saw him go to it multiple times. There was one time in particular i pointed out in the game thread which he went to that spot twice before throwing a pitch. Again, it was most likely just dirt but there was definitely something on his had and he was definitely touching that spot.

I agree, I usually HATE it when a manager trots his starter out there to start an inning with his trigger finger ready to pull him at the slightest sign of trouble. HOWEVER, usually that is because the starter has been struggling. Z, was getting much better as the night went on (I thought he was walking on a cliff the first few innings). I understand wanting to get him out with as few pitches as possible, but he was at 85. In the 6th he threw 15 pitches, and the 5th/6th/7th hitters were due up (who he had not let up a hit against) so he had a good chance of pitching the 7th and still coming out of the game with less than 100 pitches. I would have left him. But then again, I would have pinch hit DWard for Theriot in the 6th with the bases loaded. I would have pinch hit with Ward for Zambrano with the bases loaded. That would have been going to the pen early, and Zambrano had gotten a hit, but I saw that as a chance to blow the game open and I would have put the best hitter I could up there and hope for the best from the bullpen. That was my first thought, too. But then I realized Z had hit th ball well the first time up so you might as well leave him in and take your chances. And really, it almost paid off. Stupid freaking midget....

As demoralizing as the game 1 loss was, I think most of us thought that if we lost any game, it would be the one against Webb. So, as much as last night sucked, it kinda fell in line with our predictions.

Certainly right, gotta make your move now. and what sucks is, that means that each of the next three are must wins, to avoid facing Webb. -
Hell, he only threw 85 pitches his last time out, he should be fine :roll:

I was so furious when I went to bed last night. To be honest, at this exact moment I don't give a flying soapdrop about this team. Give me till about noon or 1pm and I'll be back to my over-anxious self. And yes, this is a must-win. How can anyone think it's not? If we lose today then we have to win three in a row, the final of which coming against Webb. Just beat the crap out of davis, please. -
Yes! I mentioned it in the game thread once but I think it got passed over in the massive amounts of posts that were being made.

Does your mom smoke pot? also, this line just about made me spit out the orange juice i was drinking:

Oh come on, thats ridiculous. How is it a hitters fault that he nails a ball, but the defender is either directly in front of where he hit it, or makes an outstanding play to save it from being hit.

Do you completely forget the 03 NLCS?
