    Also toss Hunter Wendelstedt on the list of terrible umpires. Blech. Who are the good umps that have consistent zones and don't actively antagonize players?

    The Ron Artest Experience will forever be burned into America's collective sports memory. Between the riot it caused, the sheer number of surreal moments that happened during the incident, and the fact that it completely destroyed the Pacers, there was just so much that came out of it that anything less than a year-long suspension would have seemed soft. This isn't on the same level as that. However, Young did attack an umpire. That is one of the biggest no-nos in ANY sport. Cripes, there are even times when athletes are justified in attacking fans (such as when those idiots in Detroit wandered out onto the court looking for a fight). Unless the umpire is freaking Robert De Niro in The Fan, there is NEVER justification for attacking an umpire. He threw a dangerous object at the umpire. Moreover, he threw it at a fast velocity. He hit the ump. He could have seriously injured the umpire. Anything between a 50-100 game suspension wouldn't surprise me.

    Even though he is supposed to be The Next Big Thing, he does play for the D-Rays and is still in the minors. I think MLB will come down hard on him.

    That was nice to see.
  6. Outshined_One
    Excellent inning!
  7. Outshined_One
    That strike three pitch was pretty hilarious.
  8. Outshined_One
    Did anyone else see Ronny's splits against lefties? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
  9. Outshined_One
    Ugly pitch to swing at, Slappy.
  10. Outshined_One
    Was it me or did Willingham duck into it?
  11. Outshined_One
    Ah yes, I remember when Marshall got the rookie treatment. Come on blue, knock it off already!
  12. Outshined_One
    The Cubs have an off day on Thursday anyways, so Bare might not miss much time (if any). Here's hoping he's back on Friday. :D
  13. Outshined_One
    Aw, that stinks. :( Johnston showed pretty nice patience at the plate, although it seemed like his defense needed a bit of work. It sucks to see this setback, nevertheless. Hope he gets better soon!

    The early results aren't all positive, but at the same time, there's still time for him to develop into an effective major league player. Then again, that list is rather depressing, all things considered.
  16. Outshined_One
    I'd argue that the Suicide Squeeze is one of the most exciting plays in all of sports.
  17. Outshined_One
    I agree with the first part of your post for the time being. I'll be worried if he's putting the same numbers up at the end of May. I would most definitely like to see Pierre improve upon his numbers thus far this season, but we only have a small sample size to judge him by this season. There should come a point where he will begin to improve...hopefully. However, considering Pierre started his career in Colorado, I'd think he would at least be used to this kind of weather early and late in the season. His three year splits suggest his two worst months are June (.265/.320/.342) and April (.291/.343/.369). His performance thus far has been worse than both. However, considering his IsoD is currently at .18 and his career IsoD is .50, I'd expect his numbers to improve in the coming weeks and months.

    The Cubs have faced him before. He faced off against Kerry Wood last season and had a quality start. Link However, this will be his first ever start at Wrigley.

    in june, juan pierre is going to be so fast that he'll beat out routine groundballs to second twice a game Why are you exaggerating? In 650 AB, the difference between a .280 hitter and a .300 hitter is about 13 hits. Just missing an infield single every couple of games b/c your legs are cold/cramped/tight makes a big difference for a guy like Pierre. The Cubs have played 4 games this year with a temperature below 50 degrees, only 1 below 40. That's over 20% of our games, which isn't a negligible figure. It is a figure that should be taken into account, but at the same time, this April (and winter overall) has been one of the warmest I can remember in the past few years. I mean, Sunny, Lake Mendota didn't fully freeze over this year. This is the first time it's ever happened in the time I've been up at Madison and a good number of people were making a big deal out of it. The weather has really not been that bad. Also, how many of those 5 games were played at Wrigley?

    With MLB cracking down on throwing at batters, I'm curious as to whether or not these guys would be doing these same antics if they knew an earhole pitch was coming in the next AB. Think about how fun it would be to see what would happen if Zambrano charged the mound, to boot!
  21. Outshined_One
    Note the triple K.
  22. Outshined_One
    Daytona down 4-1 heading into the bottom of the third.
  23. Outshined_One
    Lidge has never had good success against the Cubs. I can think of a few instances where he fell apart (The Jeff Gordon Game, Sammy's 10th inning walkoff) against them. His three year numbers against the Cubs aren't pretty, either.
  24. Outshined_One
    I have to say, in a way, I find Gallagher's outing encouraging. Judging from his line and from what people were saying in this thread, it didn't sound like he had his best stuff and that he wasn't getting a lot of calls. Let's face it, when you allow 11 baserunners and only strike out one guy, it's not your best day. However, he minimized the damage, got a ton of ground balls, and walked away with the W. When a pitcher has a day like that, it's a good sign. Sometimes guys just pack it up and walk home. Other times, they bear down and do the best they can. Having that ability is critical for success, ya know?
