    Mike Lincoln is a righty. Agree to disagree.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Dusty brings in the LH to face a surefire PH RH and 3 straight right handers before Kosuke. Well done.

    One week ago, what was Fontenot hitting then as compared to Cedeno? Believe me, I'm not trying to keep Cedeno from getting at bats. But you asked why Fontenot is in there tonight, and the answer is he's white hot at the plate. Thing is, between Theriot getting thrown out every time he's on the bases, Johnson being awful against RHP, Ramirez being hurt, and DeRosa slumping hard, there's plenty of room for both to be in the lineup right now.

    So the blame should go to Larry Rothschild for Rich Hill's suckiness? Yes, he's the one who screwed with Hill's mechanics at the beginning of the year when there was no need to.
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    Pitching coaches exist for a reason, and that's because it's extremely difficult to fix mechanical issues by yourself, especially the fine differences that make a difference at the highest level like MLB.
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yeah because everyone else has been hammering Cueto for us. How about we give him a month straight to play instead of only playing him against right handers with electric stuff. Lou is setting him up to fail. Normally I would agree with you......but cmon, he has been horsecrap the last 5 games he's played He went 2 for 4 with a double in the Cardinals series.
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    About .360
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    And cause Ronny Cedeno's last 2 weeks have been a fluke. If only he were left handed.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    Fontenot is playing because in the last week he's hitting .636/.765/1.000/1.765.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Dempster pitched well that inning, all 3 runs are unearned. Yahoo has one of the runs being earned.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Meh. Lohse did the same thing last April then got torched the rest of the year. Looper had a similar start last year as well and wilted under the workload. Wellemeyer's given up 6 HR already, and should fall off if everyone realizes that he can't throw anything besides his straight-as-an-arrow fastball for a strike(I swear I yelled this at the TV a dozen times last night). Also, on the whole I think their opponents have helped their numbers as well, we were the first team they'd played over 32 games that was in the upper half of the NL in OPS.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Lineup from The Cub Reporter: Soriano Theriot Lee Kosuke Soto DeRosa Fontenot Pie Dempster Some good things there. Good to see Pie in the lineup and Soto finally moved up in the order. Still no Cedeno to be found.

    BA had Kyle Gibson near the top of their Best Sophomores list prior to this season. In his first year as a starter he's put up a 3.84 ERA, 74/18 K/BB, 1.27 WHIP in 70.1 IP. Nick Tepesch was at the top of the Best Freshman list, he's been in the bullpen like Gibson was last year, although without the same success thus far. 5.24 ERA, 13/8 K/BB, 1.43 WHIP in 22.1 IP
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Thats the problem all the damn walks. He couldnt retire the 2 journeymen before Pujols, and that was game. Seriously, he let Izturis and Kennedy beat him. They got on base 5 of 6 times against him, the one out coming in the last batter of his outing.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Theriot has more CS than everyone else on the Cubs. Combined. For funsies, if you remove the CS from his OBP, it's at .333 for the season.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    The DBacks fans are doing the wave, the game is tied in the 8th inning. Embarrassing.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Cedeno may need to photoshop some pictures of the Cajun twins in order to get some playing time at this rate.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    If you do trade Pie for Greene, just call up Fuld to be the platoon partner with Johnson. Fontenot will have to go down, but with Cedeno, Theriot, and DeRosa all on the roster vying for 2B time he's redundant. Or just use Cedeno in CF full time if he wasn't included for Greene.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Ty Wright with a homer for Daytona today. Is he good enough defensively to play CF?
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    If Dempster falls off we have exactly 1 good starting pitcher left Which is just about on par with the rest of the league. It's rare to see any team with a bonafide 1-2 punch these days. Diamondbacks say hi, and raise you a -3. Yep. They are one of the "rare" teams. who's the diamondbacks' really good #3? Owings isn't "really good", but he's got solid peripherals. Scherzer could be that guy as well.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Apparently the number of consecutive plate appearances without being retired needed to get Cedeno in the lineup is greater than 5. Unreal. And Gallagher to the pen? Just call up Cotts or Pignatiello and move Marshall to long relief.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Because he's walked 18 guys in 19 innings. Carlos Zambrano walked 19 guys in 5 starts to begin the year last year and gave up 21 earned runs in the process, but they never talked about skipping his rotation spot or putting him in the pen. It was 6 starts and 36 innings. To compare, Hill 2008: 8.24 BB/9; Zambrano April 2007: 4.66 BB/9.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    I didn't see any of the game, but to see that LeBron sent the Wizards home with 27/13/13 is just swell.
