That had nothing to do with it. Novoa was slow to the plate with a slider, the base was stolen long before Bynum was involved. -
OOC, I was only half watching the game, who else was available? Wuertz Aardsma Ohman Dempster Not exactly a murderers row of pitchers there. All are better than Novoa. And it's not just today, Dusty's philosophy is completely backwards with how to handle 9th inning ties/extra inning games on the road.
-
Is Dusty the only manager in the majors that goes from his worst reliever on up when his team gets into "give up a run and lose" situations?
-
"right now meaning RIGHT NOW"
-
haha, Novoa over Wuertz? kill me please
-
Rosenthal said calf cramps
-
Why would LaRussa bat the .132 Carpenter and then pull him before pitching the next half inning. It doesn't have anything to do with Rosental. :? Why would he send him to the mound the next inning? Why wouldn't he pinch run with him, especially when he's the go ahead run?
-
I still don't buy it. Rosenthal is a stooge.
-
Now what did he do? Took the trainer with him so he could talk to Carpenter at first base. There was zero indication there was anything close to wrong with him, even McCarver picked up on the ploy.
-
Bush league nonsense by LaRussa there.
-
What the heck Dusty, stop trying to play manager and just take Hill out of the game(if that's what you want). You don't gain any leverage by waiting until Bennett is announced.

wtg Hill

So who's getting dumped from the 40 man? O'Malley?

Why can't the Des Moines Register spell Walrond's name? -
Pretty funny qoute from Espn Chat with\Neyer...
Transmogrified Tiger replied to C.C.'s topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He played nearly 450 games in CF in his career. Where'd you get that number? Baseball Reference lists 57 games in CF, out of 2850 games played. BP says 446. Baseball Reference lists him as an "OF" for over 2000 of those games. -
I don't know anything about Fregosi other than he used to manage the Phils. Anyone got the lowdown on him?
-
According to Baseball Reference he never made the big leagues, and there's no mention of him in the baseball cube(although I doubt that TBC is comprehensive all the way back to Leyland's days).

2006 NSBB Minor League Player of the Year
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
A brilliant mastermind, you are. -
I've thought about this a little bit, and this seems to be a good spot for it. If we go with Pie next year, should we find a platoon partner for him? A quick scan of Cot's FA list doesn't give much hope for RH CFers, and then there's still Jones and Murton who we may want to platoon as well. Maybe someone in Rule 5 would fit the bill? Pagan has been horrible against LHP this year, and there's some question to whether he can handle CF, so I don't think he'd work.

2006 NSBB Minor League Player of the Year

Nonsense. Let's send Pie down to Peoria or Boise for the year, he'd dwarf what Fox did. -
2006 NSBB Minor League Player of the Year
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I can't believe Pie is still losing to Fox, this is unacceptable people. I won't stand for this, it won't do at all. -
Pie will never be a leadoff hitter. If he gets the production you want out of a leadoff hitter, then he's going to be doing it with enough power that you want him deeper in the order.
-
Pie in a landslide. He wouldn't be damaged by staying in AAA to start next year, but he's clearly made an adjustment and is just raking there right now. He strikes out a bit, but it's no higher than last year(which was better than the year before), and he's walking more than he ever has. Don't put him in a corner OF spot, just put him in CF and leave him there until at least 2011 or so unless he goes through a Pattersonian struggle.

Wow, I undershot the Pie projection. .784 after last night's action. -
Which '06 Rookies make the cut in '07?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Knyption's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
not really a big deal, but why the strong wording here? Not really intentional. O'Malley isn't good, and with as many options as we have at our disposal, we're in trouble if we're forced to give him any more time on the major league level.
