This makes 4 straight decent to great starts from TRL, I think he's back. The lack of velocity still concerns me. Why the hell is he throwing 85-86 when he was throwing 90-91 last year? He's touching 88-91 regularly on the fastball, and it's a cool day, doesn't seem too worrisome. Ah. Pat & Otto were saying that he was working around 85-86 all game.. If what you say is true, I'm a bit less worried. -

Would be nice to turn it back around against the best team in baseball (this year).

LOL sneaks a fastball by him.
-
Yours is wrong and mine is right? :) lol

OBP by outs 0 - .367 1 - .407 2 - .332 With 2 outs RISP .344. They don't really get on a lot with 2 outs, and when they do it's more often with risp than anything else. Damn you and your facts.

You're opposed to strategy? Honestly, I'd rather see the "strategy" of the pitcher battling a better hitter in a tough spot than the cop-out of walking an actual (I guess we can call Reed that) hitter to face an easy out. You know what they say about opinions, though. LOL, the D'Backs paid anyway, though.

Sori!!!
-
HAHAHAHHAA Lilly > Johnson anyway
-
Why do we always have to get baserunners with two outs. The worst part is the people who complain that we need better two out hitting afterward.
-
At least there was some attrition to it, rather than flying out on the first pitch. Derrek Lee can do whatever the hell he wants relative to Ryan Theriot.

Re: Cuban's chances getting better than we thought?
David replied to Bobson Dugnutt's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It is beyond absurd that the organization's front office is being held up by the amount of office space inside of Wrigley Field. If true, wow. -
So, I'm guessing the ivy makes its first real appearance in today's game.
-
I'd swap Soto and Fukudome and leave the rest how it is. Pretty much what I would do. None of it makes a whole lot of difference though, presuming the right guys are actually in the lineup in the first place............
-
Can't believe it hasn't been posted. Heard the lineup on ESPN1000 on my drive in to work. LF - Soriano SS - Theriot 1B - Lee 3B - Ramirez RF - Fukudome C - Soto 2B - DeRosa CF - Johnson P - Lilly Well, not that it means much, but it's nice to see Soto has finally moved up a little higher. Anything that gets him more PAs is a good thing.

I'm calling 2/3 from Arizona. We lose the Haren game.
-
I really, really don't want Avery Johnson.
-
i think it was official once the cubs half of the fifth ended. Yep. When the home team leads, it only needs to go through the top of the 5th.
-
I disagree with this not being a 90+ win team. Not with this offense and in this division. The starting pitching does need improvement, as does the managing.
-
Well, maybe Gallagher can earn himself a rotation spot here. We all know how reactionary Lou can be. Something good could come of this crap game.
-
According to Brennaman, testing hasn't been done yet.... Did he really say that?
-
It's amazing that most of this board saw this coming and Lou didn't. I wonder if he even knows about Lieber's splits. How could you start him against a team whose best 3 hitters are all lefthanded? Especially when you consider the ridiculous juggling he did to have the Brewers not face lefties and all that. It wouldn't surprise me when you consider he had NO idea that Hill had struggled with control in the minors.
-
Didn't miss what I heard of yesterday's game. He sounded like hell then too.
-
I'm pretty sure the luxury tax only pretty much only comes into play when you're re-signing your own players and go over the tax threshold. You can't go over the cap to sign free agents coming from other teams. That's why sign and trades get worked out.
-
They're over the cap, but they seem content on paying the Luxury Tax for years and years and years. Therefore, it doesn't really matter if they're over the cap or not. According to a poster on RealGM, the sports guy on NBC 5 in the afternoon said that the Bulls were prepared to interview Avery Johnson in the coming days. It keeps them from adding free agents seeking more than the MLE, doesn't it?
