Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-12-2008
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Wow, Jose Pina is a name I haven't seen in a long time. What happened to him? -
Well it only took 8 pitches for Acosta to get through that, so he'll probably pitch the 11th. That's good news for us.
-
They brought in Acosta? That dude's given up runs like 8 appearances in a row.
-
Are you sure he was? Len said he was announced. So does Gameday.
-
Are you kidding me Lou? You're one out from extra innings, you can't burn a bench guy.
-
He's on pace for over 100 innings. It's going to take more than 8 days of slightly less than average use to pull him back from the shredded arm ledge. So are we going to panic every time he's brought in unless we don't use him for a week and a half? He's now thrown only 4.2 IP this month, and 3 of his last 4 outings have been less than 10 pitches.
-
Marmol's thrown 50 pitches in the last 8 days, he's fine.
-
you'd think so, but it is
-
Mike Wuertz hasn't pitched since the jerseys they are in were fashionable and we're sending Z and Dempster out there to throw 120 pitches. Knock it off, Lou.

Eric Patterson called up
Transmogrified Tiger replied to inari's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Either that, or I wouldn't have minded seeing Theriot lead off and Fuku hit second. EPatt is not a good choice to lead off for us, I don't expect him to post an OBP over .300 while he's up here, if that. What leads you to that conclusion? -
He'll have a good deal of chances. He'll definitely be involved in the 6 DH games, and that's half of our next 12 without him getting any OF time. My reasoning for my linup was to maximize our OBP in the 1-2 spot since we are losing the power out of the 1 spot. Whats EPatts career OBP? .365, .361 this year. To compare, last year was the first time Hoffpauir had ever been above .360, and he was a 27 year old in AAA.

Yeah, DeRosa looked pretty shaky tracking fly balls last night. Not that I wouldn't put him out there because of it, but he's probably a better 2B than Patterson, so you stay stronger all around even if Patterson is shaky as well.
-
At what? Everything involving the game of baseball besides defense at first base.
-
Because Patterson is better than Hoffpauir.
-
That wouldn't really make much sense. Dubois has played 1B at Iowa too, and the OF has Murton, Pie, Torres. I don't really want to consider the possibility of Broussard on the Major League team.

Patterson Theriot Lee Ramirez Kosuke Soto Edmonds DeRosa Zambrano Patterson is in LF. Escobar Johnson Chipper Teixeira McCann Francoeur Norton Blanco Hudson

Croatia scores first on the Germans. Too bad Poland couldn't keep it closer against them or they'd have a shot at advancement.
-
I like EPatt as a player, and he's been hot lately, but he's redundant on this roster. Our RH pinch hitting options are Johnson and Cedeno, Murton would fit that role perfectly.

Soriano to DL-fracture of the left metacarpal
Transmogrified Tiger replied to snoodmonger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
No. -
By my selective memory, we've had a fair number of one run games where we've added one or two in the last couple innings. I imagine our record in games where it was 1 run in the 7th has quite a few more wins.

Soriano to DL-fracture of the left metacarpal
Transmogrified Tiger replied to snoodmonger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
To elaborate on what I'd like to see: Fontenot v. RHP 2008: .253/.352/.418/.769 Career: .281/.358/.418/.776 Murton v. LHP 2008 (AAA): .396/.482/.500/.982 Career: .317/.391/.497/.888 Combined I think you could see an .800 OPS with a .370 OBP. Now that I look at it Soriano has hit for more power than I thought, but I think Fontenot is a better bet than Hoffpauir to produce nearly everyday for 6+ weeks. -
6/11 other games
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Hairyducked Idiot's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
The night following the day where Rich Hill continues to forget where home plate is. -
What's the pitch count? 104 I think. Dempster hasn't thrown this many innings in a season in half a decade. This game is well in hand and we have bullpen pitchers who need work, use them and try to keep Dempster from getting a dead arm.

Murton OPSing .982 against LHP in Iowa.
