Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-13-2008
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Eyre was not so good for Peoria: 1.1 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2/0 K/BB Hernandez came in and stranded 2 inherited runners with a nice outing. 5.2 scoreless and hitless IP, 3/2 K/BB -
Any idea on his pitch count? 104 with 2 outs in the inning.
-
wow, strike 3 to Blanco was just dirty
-
This probably isn't the right weekend to make this statement.
-
Lincecum with a wide outside corner so far.

i think marmol is broken, you guys
Transmogrified Tiger replied to treebird's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That scouting report seems a little strange to me. When Marmol was going well his slider was his get me over pitch, and quite often he'd hit the glove exactly with it. Obviously that's when he's at his best so it's not always applicable, but still he relied on his slider because he could put it over the plate when he wanted to, not just because it's a wiffle ball pitch that gets swings and misses out of the zone. -
That means the PM is sent, the person just hasn't opened it yet.

Fontenot is a stallion
-
It's Eugenio Velez, don't try to be fine, throw it over the plate
-
The Giants know they aren't scoring off Wood in the 9th, one run is the same as six, so they give up a free baserunner to try and get a DP.
-
DON'T GIVE AWAY AN OUT
-
Hate how his was managed after the leadoff double. Should have bunted w/ Dero. Now we wasted multiple guys and Marquis is forced out. Both of those things would likely happen even if DeRosa bunted.
-
Why is Cedeno running? You're just going to replace him Fukudome anyways, let Kosuke run. EDIT: I guess Kosuke will hit for the pitcher, that makes sense.
-
Rich Aurilia really wants Marquis to pitch a complete game. He's made 3 outs on 3 pitches the last 2 times he's been up.
-
now he gets blown away with the fastball
-
There is one Giant regular with an OPS over .800, and it's Rowand at .810. That's hilariously bad.
-
Gameday is frozen with Fontenot at a full count with 1 out and Cain at 55 pitches. He's gotta be at least at 57.
-
He's out a month, so he should be pretty cheap. That long eh? Bummer. At this point we're pretty much rehashing the "people to platoon with Pie" list from the spring, but Cody Ross is killing LHP again for Florida.
-
Spilborghs replacing Johnson would be a good choice if the cost was low enough.
-
Fontenot, yes. And considering his experience there lasted what, a couple innings, last year, I doubt Lou sees him as an option. DeRosa, maybe, although one might think he'd have played there more before if Lou considers him viable there. If you do that though, you have to be prepared to say goodbye to Cedeno. He's out of options, and while he's not much right now, if Theriot falls off a cliff/gets seriously hurt, there's no one else in the system besides him that would play there for an extended stretch.
-
I thought for sure that Blake could play 2B, but he hasn't played a MLB game there. He's ideal for what we need, but the problem becomes, who does he replace? Blanco and Cedeno can't hit, but they also play defense where no one else can. Ward and Fontenot are both hitting the ball from the left side. Johnson could be replaced, but having gimpy Jimmy Baseball as your only true CF is probably a bad idea. The only truly ideal solution would be having Pie hitting well and playing CF, replacing Edmonds, while Blake takes Johnson's roster spot and we get by with Fukudome and Cedeno as backup CF. However, Blake replacing Johnson isn't a huge improvement. What would you guys do? Go to a shorter pen? Abandon a backup SS for 6 weeks? Get rid of a productive platoon bat(Fontenot or Johnson)?
-
I don't think this is a big deal. Wuertz was going to be available for Saturday and Sunday at the max, and his usage is out of whack and he's coming off an awful outing. With the All-Star break it buys several days towards the 10 until Wuertz can come back. Mike goes down to Iowa, gets regular usage for a week, and if he's doing alright he comes back up. If Hart is no good, you can always replace him with Marshall when he leaves the rotation after the break, Ascanio from Iowa, or Eyre when he comes back shortly after the break.
-
I just noticed this was an afternoon game. That'll make passing Friday afternoon a little easier.
-
Surprising that you had three on hand to sell.

Too early for a fantasy football question?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to rawaction's topic in Fantasy Sports
How many teams? Is it PPR?
