    Iowa: RHP Jae-Kuk Ryu (0-1, 3.71 ERA, 17 IP, 13/6) vs. LHP Renyel Pinto (1-0, 3.07 ERA) West Tenn: RHP Randy Wells (1-1, 1.54 ERA, 11.2 IP, 9/3) Daytona: RHP Matt Weber (0-2, 11.74 ERA, 7.2 IP, 5/4) @ LHP Matt Merricks (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 11 IP) Peoria: RHP Mitch Atkins (0-0, 1.80 ERA, 10 IP, 11/3) @ RHP Chris Nicoll (2005: 0-3, 3.62 ERA, 27.1 IP @ SS ball) Matt Weber is making his rotation debut in Daytona, he's taking Luke Hagerty's spot. The Ryu-Pinto matchup should be fun.

    Because Hendry has been known to make moves when we need help? Ramirez, Lofton, Simon, Karros, Nomar...ring any bells? I don't doubt that Hendry is going to make a deal. Plus, he doesn't make the lineups, so don't assume that he is content with Neifi starting at 2B every day. I have full faith in Hendry. It's the man wearing the #12 that I worry about, but if Hendry gives him better players than Neifi, I'm not that worried. Hendry is deliberate and slow when it comes to trade - how long did it take to get a 3B in 03? A SS in 04 (even with Alex Gonzalez injured)? He didn't get a SS when Nomar got hurt last season.

    So who gets called up from the minors? Dope is hurt and Sing is not on the 40-man roster. Theriot or Pie come to mind. I hope it's not Felix.
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    You don't think they would do it for Prior and Pie? Thats not a crazy move, the major league team loses only the potential of what those two could do. They could both fail to meet expectations too. Dunn or Cabrera are consistent and healthy offensive forces. This team would have the best offense in the NL when Lee comes back. But the Cubs wouldn't trade Prior and Pie for Dunn.

    I don't have to fly out there. In fact, I am willing to bet I know what 4-block radius of Pasadena Furcal lives in (since all the non-full-time LA resident Dodgers live in Old Town Pasadena).
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    Try him in LF with Murton in RF. People who have seen the Royals play can correct me, but I had the feeling that Sweeney was on his way to DHing, let alone moving to a more rigorous defensive position than first base.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    How dare you come back after we banned you?
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    I hope the Cubs don't get Sweeney, not with that contract. Where do they move him when Lee does return?
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    AAA first baseman, sharing time with Brandon Sing since Sing has started the season slumping.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Can we just bean Furcal all series long when the Dodgers come to Wrigley? Hopefully with Zambrano leading the way...
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    If you want to blame someone, it'd be better to go after Furcal for running 2' inside the line.

    What the heck? I don't buy that part of the report. Be it Sullivan or Levine, neither one is the epitome of credibility, by any stretch. That's what I was thinking.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    What the heck?
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    At this point, I expect we'll hear something tomorrow.

    He was throwing it towards Long Beach/the Pacific Ocean (due south). The wind must have done some nice tricks to make it go east. It looked East on my TV screen! Heh. A HR to straight away RF would be east.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Kind of hypocritical given what you said about Corey last year. Please don't label other posters as pessimists and trolls.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    You were the first obvious Neifi post from when the discussion in the other thread shifted, that's why you started the thread.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    :( That's one way to put 7 ER in 2 innings. On the other hand, you're doing a great of announcing, though! How did Yepez look?
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Geez, Sotolongo and Rayborn have completely blown the Chiefs' 8-2 lead in the 7th. After 7, it's now 9-8, Beloit.

    You jinxed him. He popped out in the 6th with Norwood at third and one out. :( Yepez: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 2/2
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yepez getting some groundballs now - he got a GIDP to end the 4th. 4 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 1/2, 2 GIDPs, 49 pitches Peoria scores 2 more in the 5th, it's now 8-2. EDIT: 5 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2/2, 2 GIDPs
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    This is what a lot of us mean when we say the Trib owning the Cubs isn't the worst ownership possible. Ugh.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    But the Chiefs have regained the lead here in the 4th, and are still threatening. Geez, the Chiefs have broken it open now, 6-2. Still in the 4th. They're now up to the 9th batter of the inning.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    But jigman (honest question), is Rothschild calling the game from the dugout if it's Maddux, Z or Rusch? couldn't tell you with Rusch. with Maddux, it appears Michael is calling the game this year, but I recall the calls in Maddux games often came from the dugout last year. Z worked mostly with Blanco last year, but Barrett called the game the other night. I do know that last year and the year before, nearly every pitch a bullpen pitcher threw when Barrett was catching came from the dugout. edit: well the pitch didn't literally come from the dugout...you know what I mean It's not to say that I don't think Rotschild does or doesn't call the games for the veterans (I think Maddux at least would have the leeway to call his own game) - it's just that I'm not sure who is to fault (and don't want to rush to blame) at the sometimes questionable pitch selection.
