    Only 2 of those you listed had more Win Shares than Barrett last year. Fine he is great, but shouldn't a big league catcher be a little better at catching the ball? Piazza never was. With catchers you generally have to pick one trait or the other. Generally, but not all the time, a great hitting catcher isn't going to be great defensively and vice versa. Then you get guys that are average at both. It just depends on your preference.

    It doesn't appear to be serious. He is listed as day to day, but should definitely miss at least one start. Though there seems to be some dispute as to when he left the game and on who's HR he was injured. :lol: Well our outfield was chasing a lot of HR's yesterday so it would be hard to say who's he was chasing.
  3. soccer10k
    Agreed. We need him to get Griffey and Dunn out late in the game.

    3rd, not home. Gamecast says that he got caught stealing twice, one at third and once at home. with two outs, Barrett was caught in a rundown b/w 1st and 2nd, so Lee broke for the plate, and was thrown out. Ah, thanks for the clarification.

    Apparently you didn't hear the time Ozzie sang it. or Ditka, or Gordon. Ozzy was downright horrible. But at least with him it wasn't a surprise. I actually laughed at how bad he was.

    DLee caught stealing home? Another missed sign?

    Yep! The Reds are lucky that the Cubs only scored 4 runs today. Wow, thats unreal. The most surprising part of that is that Adam Dunn didn't make any of them.
  9. soccer10k
    On the mlb.com gamecast it says the Reds have made 5 errors today, is this true?

    Since I haven't gotten a chance to watch the game, how did Maddux look? Do the numbers accurately represent how well he pitched?
  11. soccer10k
    Based on what I've seen, yes. Bronson Arroyo takes you deep twice and you've got some deep issues. Next thing you know Tom Glavine's going 'oppo' on you. Exactly. Giving up HR's to Griffey and Dunn is one thing. Giving up HR's to Arroyo is another. It's something to worry about.

    I've been complaining about the Cubs pathetic bullpen for a few years. I've said it on this board a few times, but I thought the best moves of the offseason were the Howry and Eyre signings. It doesn't take a former player to realize that.
  13. soccer10k
    I would have to say that giving up a home run to the same pitcher in two different games is worse.
  14. soccer10k
    I think this is the best thing the Cubs could do. Don't set a return date because then it puts pressure on the player to come back by then. Or the player may think that they can make it back before the set date and will try harder to do it and end up getting injured. Anyways, I think it's a good idea and I don't mind them doing it.

    Anybody have any information on Jones's injury other than the fact that he left the game early with a strained right hamstring or is that the only info that has been released so far?
  16. soccer10k
    I love the fact that somebody is actually spending time figuring out who is the worst hitter of all time.
  17. soccer10k
    I think it's a line that the reporters always have to ask when talking about a guy that is hasn't worked out as expected in a certain town whether that means due to injuries, on the court issues, off the court issues, etc. In Prior's case it means injuries.
  18. soccer10k
    They have a combined 14 at bats against Claussen, making a decision based on that is silly. You might make the case that Walker(recently) and Hairston don't have defined platoon splits, but Hairston hasn't started a game all year and now is a pretty decent chance to give him a look to make sure his bat stays sharp. Agreed. Hairston needs a chance to prove himself as a starter at some point early in the season.

    I hope you are starting threads for a long time.
  20. soccer10k
    I am interested in starting a game thread. I can only hope that when I get the chance, I will start a long winning streak.
  21. soccer10k
    I'm done with this game. I'm going to do my homework.
  22. soccer10k
    OMG!! Adam Dunn didn't hit a home run. It's a miracle. Oh that's right, they took Rusch out. I forgot.
  23. soccer10k
    When you give up 4 HRs, that will happen.
  24. soccer10k
    As long as Rusch is pitching they'll score.

    At least you have radio. It's MLB.com Gameday time for me...Gameday Audio's not even an option because I'm in the so called "blackout" range. How much does Gameday Audio cost?
