Transmogrified Tiger

Because Lee's throw was well short of the plate.

Shutup Stone and Phillips. We just saw the replay, Freel almost went all the way back to the base and had his weight on the other foot.

ungood

They were both awful, although myself I didn't see any of Williams's outing.

Scotty 4 ROOGY

details plz

nm

good to see him with extra bases. I'm worried about him being a singles hitter when he does get hits. That too.

Good to see Cedeno get a couple hits.

What class? Spanish 1200 :? Is that 1, 2, or 3? I'm in 3 and it's a task.

What class?

That's the worst idea I've ever heard.

Who are the wolves? It's a game thread man.

When Steve Phillips can grasp that you aren't being patient....

I just now realized Cedeno is #5 this year instead of #11.

Good thing we don't have Williams in the rotation...

That's terrible Rusch, that SB is on you.

Let's see another DP, Elijah.

At least you didn't make a pun about his nickname.

wtg Rusch 0-2?!?!?!?!

Freel with the worst teaser of all time.

Derrek Lee saved error #1

I figure it'll be anywhere between the 6th and the 8th.

Word.

That is actually not what he wrote at all: I think he did say it makes things more difficult... Anyway, I'm not trying to nitpick. I understand what he's saying. The OF won't supply a lot of power (and will actually be below average when compared to other OF). Point well taken. My argument is with the assertion that they will be a "complete disaster." All I'm trying to do is illustrate how they can be productive minus the plethora of XBH. Kind of suprised to be reading this from TT (CPatt20). Of all people he seemed the less likely to argue about, a single stat, mainly OPS being a large factor in the success of the OF. TT - do your statements on the OF take into account the power potential in the infield? Lee, Ramirez, Walker and Barrett are all capable of putting up some decent/great power numbers for their respective positions. *edited for poor english I use OPS and OPS+ because they are quick(albeit dirty) and easily accessible metrics of overall production. That's the point I'm trying to get across, that our total offensive output from the OF is not going to be very good, and it would take much more time to use RC or XR. The infield's production is largely irrelevant for the purposes of this thread. With the resources at his disposal, Hendry should not have to settle for a poor outfield. Part of that problem is an (over)emphasis on defense(Jones signing), partly an (over)emphasis on lineup position over actual production(Pierre trade), and some bad luck/poor planning in this offseason's moves(losing out on Furcal/Lugo/Giles/etc. leads to having both Murton and Cedeno in the starting lineup). Individually you can make a case for those moves, but when they add up as a whole to the outfield that we have, it's unacceptable for a team with the Cubs payroll.
