Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-28-2008
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Pie is hitting .385 in about 100 July PA's. I think that's pretty good even for the PCL. -
Yeah, especially with Kosuke on deck and no RH pinch hitters on the bench(we weren't going to use Blanco), I thought that was a pretty bad move on his part. It's not like Ward is a threat. He hasn't done much the past month, and he's done very little against RHP this year. Riske has a huge platoon split though(.614 OPS against RH, .856 against LH). Ward hasn't killed RHP this year, but his .790 OPS isn't exactly struggling against them either.

Lou Pinella, What the hell are you doing?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Shocking. Do you have something to contribute? Unless you're contributing to the topic at hand, we're probably better off without the sarcastic interjection that you think somebody is being irrational. -
Lou Pinella, What the hell are you doing?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The problem Lou has right now is that the back of his bullpen is getting used pretty hard, and the rest of it is left handers and Howry. With a RH dominated lineup, you can't bring in Cotts or Eyre for a full inning. Now, one of them absolutely should've pitched to Branyan, don't get me wrong, but it's an unfortunate circumstance that forced Lou to go to Howry last night. Hopefully Zambrano and Dempster can give us about 15 innings of good work between them to let Gaudin and Samardzija get on some normal rest, and hopefully we see more of Durham, Counsell, and Branyan to allow us to get away with Eyre, Cotts, or Marshall for a full inning if we need to. -
Soriano with honorable mention to Gaudin. Not only did he get through the heart of the Brewer order, he humiliated Hardy, Braun, and Hart. Big lift going into the 9th.

Wuertz and Ascanio have both been getting torched pretty good in Iowa. Ascanio has given up runs in 7 of his last 10 outings, and Wuertz in 2 of his last 3(including a 3 walk inning). You could add Ceda I guess, but he's given up 3 hits and a walk, 2 walks, and 3 hits respectively in his most recent AA outings. There's no clear replacement for Howry's job, unless Lieber is healthy.

My instinct when the ball was hit was "he reached for it, fly out", then the stupid zoomed out camera angle and the overexcited brewers announcers thinking "he hammered it" freaked me out for a minute. Cubs win, good Marmol is back, huzzah
-
call it, unbelievable
-
It's the right move. These Brewer announcers are awful.
-
I hope not. With Samardzija unavailable and Marshall being a stretch, I'd rather Gaudin face Fielder then Hart and the RH than Cotts face Hart and the RH or burn him.

This makes 4 games out of 5
-
Brewers fans love them some Rickie Weeks
-
Can't make it three hitters Bob? Unreal.
-
Routine double play ball that Weeks threw in the dugout, the slide had nothing at all to do with the play as Weeks had released the ball before the baserunner got there. It didn't impact the throw physically, but he rushed it because Johnson was about to slide tackle him.
-
He was probably locked in his study brainstorming that home/away 5 starter platoon.
-
ring him up
-
At best it would've been close. Of course, it was really close at 3rd too.
-
Maybe Quade should've gotten himself suspended.

Ted Lilly and the inside changeup

I would've had to, but I decided I didn't care enough. -
Catch the ball Does anyone botch more pickoffs than us?
