hill to be skipped; injured in 5/16 AAA start
Transmogrified Tiger replied to abuck1220's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hill can't continue to pitch like this, and if going to Iowa for a couple turns is what's necessary for him to get right, then that needs to happen. However, ignoring the organization's treatment of him as a possible cause for this Ankieldom would be foolish. They tried changing what works, a dumb dumb dumb thing considering Hill used to be Rick Vaughn before they straightened him out, sees a sport psychologist(aka if you don't need to fix him, then don't poke the bear), and there's no benefit to be gained from the tinkering(Hill already had a deceptive delivery, great peripherals, and has zero injury history). -
I want to fight Soriano right now.
-
Well, if he sucks then the experiment will be over quickly and it will get Ascanio to Chicago quicker.
-
Also, Prince Fielder is the person to blame/thank/feed(vegetables only ps get it it's funny) for this injury. Why he decided to tag Johnson instead of giving the ball to Gallardo is beyond me.
-
When I saw Gallardo walking back to the mound on his own power, I flashed back to Corey Patterson. I think his knee tweaked the exact same direction too.

Why is Ryan Theriot in the NL Top 10 Hitters?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Abe Frohman's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He's the starter, man. You can't bench the starter. if we're doing this, then put ronny cedeno in LF, theriot at SS and soriano on the bench. and continue giving reed johnson the lion's share of the playing time in CF. Actually, it works any way you want to spin it, because Cedeno has superior minor league history, better tools, is more highly regarded as a prospect, etc. -
Fun with stats, 2008 edition
Transmogrified Tiger replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in General Baseball Talk
Well he did just hit a PH 2 run game winning HR the other day. Yeah, but can he play a position? i'm guessing he played first base during his non-pitching days at georgia tech and tulane Looks like his last year at Tulane he played 36 games at 1B, 19 at DH, and 5 in LF. -
haha, outstanding
-
I didn't know they made Joe Dillon a pitcher.
-
What's his numbers if you take out balls that OFs should have caught had they taken better routes to the ball? Better.

The Eric Gagne Appreciation Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CubsGM's topic in General Baseball Talk
Enormous sigs are irritating enough, you don't think it's going to irritate people when he adds a sig(after yesterday's game) that's a huge pic of Braun? -
To repeat what others have said, Wood is fine. Even after yesterday, his WHIP sits at 0.929, he has a stellar 4.33 K/BB ratio(a still fine 2.17 including HBP), he has a great 0.64 HR/9. He's pitching fine. And for anyone worried that despite the peripherals he's still costing us wins, yesterday was the first blown save of his that we eventually lost. Wood is not the problem, or even close really. The real concern for the pitching rotation is Lilly, Marquis, and Hill and all the baserunners they're giving up.
-
hahahahahahaha OPPO
-
Strike 2 was in the same location but a bit higher Wow, I turned it on just in time to see strike 3. At least it seems Z is getting that same obscene corner.
-
That wasn't an illusion, strike 3 to Soto was a solid foot outside, and it tailed towards the plate to get that close. There's a reason Soto stood there for a minute.

Lou fed up with mid-relief
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Dallas Green's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wow, my brain is broken. I meant Cotts. -

Ascanio and Ohman for Marshall and Hart -
Not sure. When the ground ball puts a fielder and the baserunner hitting the same spot at the same time, whose responsibility is it to avoid a collision? The runner is entitled to the basepaths. Weeks was RIGHT ON the basepath when he fielded that ball. It's his fault and he's lucky he didn't get called for interference. I brought that up the other day during a game and apparently if you're making a play on the ball you cannot be called for interference. Exactly, Pie can get called for interference for not getting out of Weeks' way. The fielder has the right to be anywhere if he's trying to field the ball.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-29-2008
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Good outing from Chen. Nice to see Donaldson with an XBH and a walk too. -
If anything, Greene is better when you consider ballpark. Young's never done anything away from Arlington.
-
You aren't really going to use this year's numbers to tell if a player's good or not, are you? I thought you were better than that. But I guess if you want to play that game, I have a question for you. There's another SS putting up these numbers: .152/.226/.238 Do you think it would be dumb to trade for him? Well if so, you just turned down a trade for Troy Tulowitzki, wtg dude. Tulowitzki as a rookie put up superior production to anything Greene's ever done. And he's not hitting FA next year asking for 8 figures per year. Tulowitzki plays in Coors 81 times, he hit .256/.327/.393/.719 away from home. home games don't count anymore? i guess i havent been keeping up with all these rule changes. damn that bud selig. Context matters if you're going to say "Tulowitzki put up superior production to anything Greene's ever done". And the insinuation that Greene can simply bump his average significantly by "playing to the park" or something like that is absurd. Petco has been in the bottom five ballparks for hits for the last 5 years. This isn't some phenomenon that's exclusive to Greene. Dave Roberts hit .233 there in 2005, and he's the prototypical slap the ball guy.

It's like he was entering his prime or something.
-
Finally got to an agreement. Sherrill, Chipper, and Victorino for Braun, Granderson, and Cueto
-
You know who would make a good platoon partner for Johnson? Josh Kroeger. It certainly wouldn't be super defensively, but with Wrigley's shallow alleys and plus defenders on either side, the offense would be worth it.
