  1. Yeah, that sucked. Hopefully he can settle down and the ump at least manages to be consistent.
  2. Rookie mistake to a very good hitter...that's bad. CALL IT!
  3. First pitch curveball should have been a strike, imo.
  4. Morganism #1: Being a great team player is better than being a great defender or a great hitter.
  5. Joe Morgan is on the air! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
  6. Berman might sue :D Nah, with Marshall Faulk on the outs, he can just transfer his Boomerism instead of thinking up something new. ;)
  7. Stuck in a Marsh Marshall, Marshall, Marshall!
  8. Dusty's lineups are actually making a degree of sense these days. Did he get slapped over the head with Baseball Prospectus this offseason and learned via osmosis?
  9. Eric, As a second baseman, how have you dealt with changing double play partners over the years? Does it just come naturally to you, or do you have to get used to their nuances and tendencies before you're finally comfortable with them? Also, do you have any particular second baseman you try to model yourself after?
  10. Adam, What are your thoughts on this year's D-Jaxx compared to last year's team? What was it like to be with the Cubs? Did any of the veterans pull any ribs on you? Were you really as nervous as you seemed when the cameras caught you in the dugout?
  11. Great to see a new face with the Cubs, Mr. Ingram! Who are you most excited to watch on the Daytona Cubs this year? What players strike you as leaders, jokers, silent hard workers, and so on?
  12. I think another important thing to factor in will be whether the Cubs see themselves as legitimate contenders for the division by the time summer rolls around. Pie could help the team in two ways: 1) Much like Murton and Greenberg were intended to be last season, sometimes a team needs a youth infusion or a new guy in the clubhouse to help make matters a little easier on the team. A rookie with infectious energy can really help in the stretch run, ya know? 2) Pie is probably the #1 target for any team looking to trade with the Cubs. If the Cubs want to go after a top-flight player, Pie will be a valuable trading chip. If he comes up to the majors and handles himself quite well against major league quality pitching, his stock will only elevate. Granted, this line of thinking could very well backfire and it is rather premature to be talking about Pie in this way. But nevertheless, it is food for thought.
  13. http://www.progressiveboink.com/dugout/archive/dugout4-8-06.htm Mwahahahahahahahaha.
  14. Wind should be blowing out to left/left center between 5-7 mph.
  15. I'd prefer Pie gets until Sept before getting called up. If he manages to keep hitting around .500 with a 2-1 K-BB ratio, I think it'd be pretty hard to keep him down in AAA for that long. ;) But a half season stay down at Iowa to work on his SB technique, approach at the plate, and so on would be ideal. I predict he gets called up in mid-June.
  16. That's quite a nice line, all things considered.
  17. Anyone care to tune into the Peoria broadcast to see what Yepez is throwing?
