Re: Cuban's chances getting better than we thought?
Hairyducked Idiot replied to Bobson Dugnutt's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Agreed. I believe their site has more info if anyone is curious. I was. And I'm *reallly* glad I wikipedia'd and didn't just go to the site. :grin: -
Volquez is in his age-25 season. He's past the prime arm-injury stages. I still wouldn't have left him out there this long in a blowout, though.

Lou Pinella, What the hell are you doing?
Hairyducked Idiot replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm honestly confused. Are we talking about HRs vs. BBs, balls vs. strikes, pitches in the strike zone vs. pitches out of the strike zone, or pitches close to the strike zone vs. pitches nowhere near? -
Marshall hasn't accrued enough service time to be allowed more than 2 HRs. The bad you can be and still play is directly proportional to your service time.

Win.

No defense in walks. Missals ain't good either but if you can't even throw a strike, you have problems. We're not really arguing whether giving up a HR is better than walking someone, are we? No. I'm talking about throwing strikes vs balls. Are you? Because that involves the batter's choices as well and isn't purely on the pitcher. There is a way to get a good result out of a pitch outside the strike zone. -
That's impossible. Good minor-leaguers never become good major-leaguers.
-
If it gets washed out before the Cubs finish this at-bat, it'd be a postponement.
-
Raining. There's hope for a washout!
-
It's all about aesthetics and emotion. A batter hits a home run off of you, he beat you in honorable combat. You give a batter a walk, it's frustrating and dishonorable.
-
I'm so sick of the "win now with vets" vs. "play kids" false dynamic. Sometimes, the kids are already the best players.
-
He replaced Theriot, Cedeno moved to SS. Why was Theriot replaced? Would it be too much to hope that Piniella realized who the best player was?
-
You missed Adam Dunn, Joey Votto, Paul Bako, and Jerry Hairston hitting home runs in the 2nd inning No I heard those on XM, I didn't know that everyone who has ever played for the Reds went yard as well though. Except Corey Patterson. He struck out every time.
-
sotobomb. The bad kind.
-
Did Fontenot just replace Cedeno?

Edd Roush decided to be sporting and hit a ground-rule double.
-
Pete Rose was just temporarily reinstated, homered, then rebanned.
-
Goodbye Jon Lieber. To mopup duty with you.
-
This one's for all the fans who fell in love with Lieber's 19 good innings. Regression to the mean hurts.
-
Rich Hill was optioned for our sins. Will he be called up on the third start and save us all? That'd be sweet.
-
bakobomb. This is kinda funny.
-
dunnbomb. Would it be trolling to point out that Lieber has given up more runs than Hill did in his last start? Yeah, it would. self-ban.
-
I hope you get a job soon so I don't have to read as many of your posts. That's just my opinion though. I share your hope.

Am I the only one that thinks that ball should have been caught? I'd have to see a replay. It would have been a helluva play.
