Part of the problem in evaluating someone like Sandberg is that the higher ups in the organizations are likely giving him specific orders about things like who pitches on a given day, pitch counts, what they want certain players to work on, and so on. While the Cubs might give him some leeway with certain decisions, I can't imagine they give him free rein on how to use a player. That said, he seems to have no trouble letting his guys attempt stolen bases and lay down squeeze plays, from the games I've watched.

Colt Brennan, meet Ty Detmer.

He was moving his arms as he was carted off the field. Probably was knocked unconscious or ordered not to move anything.

Of course not. If Tim Lincecum threw a 22 K perfect game, it wouldn't have led off Sportscenter.

Haha, the Buchholz no-no is leading off Sportscenter.

They did?!?!?!?!?!

There should have been 236, but the game scorer in the Wood Game decided otherwise. :x

Haha. What a horrible, horrible day for the Big Ten. GO BADGERS!

Yep.

Wood outing. 20K games are more impressive regardless. Not only that, but most metrics say that it's the most dominant starting pitching performance in modern history.

ESPN showed the last out. He had a nasty breaking ball and an ump happy to help him out.

=D>

I was happy with Pawelek and I knew there was no chance Bowden was going to make it to the Cubs' second rounder, despite my hopes. The guy I really wanted in the first round was C Brandon Snyder. Hasn't he been hurt his whole career? Pretty much, but hindsight is 20/20, you know?

I am just glad Hendry and the boys picked up Pawelek in that first round. All things considered, it's so bizarre that Pawelek's done as badly as he has. He was highly-touted and signed at around slot, which is rare for a Boras client, let alone one in HS. It's not like Brownlie, where there was cause for concern due to injuries, since Pawelek had a clean bill of health. Buchholz dropped due to character concerns. I think he was involved in some laptop stealing scandal or something along those lines.

92 pitches through 7 and, uh, other stuff. /JINX!

They'll be the grittiest team ever. Nobody will be able to tell any of the White Sox apart because of all the dirt on everyone's faces and jerseys.

Batting 6th, has yet to have an AB. I'll post his Boise stats after the game.

Both have been taken, so Roethlisberger it is.

INI Sucks!

lol @ Michigan

It's a better idea than making Dempster a starter, that's for sure. Here's what it boils down to... 1) If you think that Marmol is a lock to be a better starter next season than anyone in the rotation right now, you move him to the rotation and trade someone off for a bat. 2) If you don't think Marmol is a lock to be a better starter next season than anyone in the rotation right now, do you think the return a trade involving one of the starters would net would offset or even tip the scales in favor of making that move? I think the Cubs would be best served letting things play out this offseason. They can keep their options open with Marmol as a guy who could end up in the rotation or bullpen, but nothing is set in stone. All of the guys in the rotation are under contract for next season, but if a good deal presents itself for one of those guys, Marmol could make a good replacement.

Yeah, right. Raisin gave us boxes. This noob isn't living up to the hype. It's called a placeholder. I'll have these up after I shower and get ready for bed. :P
