No, Cedeno would not have made that play :) Theriot with the least necessary and most amusing throw I've seen in awhile. Amusing because it wasn't bad.

You don't need to editorialize it. it's just a walk. If you want a game log, I can post a link for one. If you want to tell people not to post opinions on a message board, I can direct you on how to remove your head from where it appears to be. He's been fine and if he can continue to OBP .380+ he'll deserve a spot in the first two spots of the order Somehow I doubt his patience will continue. Also he needs to stop running into outs, they are killing us Yep. He's now got over 900 PAs with a .350 OBP in the major leagues. I'm forced to admit he does not suck at baseball.

Theriot, whom I have recently been forced to agree does not suck at baseball but is still worse than Cedeno, draws a walk. Opportunity to extend his chase for the NL record in CS!

Has there ever been any evidence produced that a player is likely to follow a good day with a good day? I'm skeptical. Thus, I'm fine with sitting Soriano.

hill to be skipped; injured in 5/16 AAA start

Saying he would find starts for Cedeno then benching him for a week does. Actually, it doesn't at all. At no point did he say "I will find him starts within the next week" or give a definitive timetable. I think it's reasonable to infer that he meant soon and more regular starting than he was already getting, and not that at some indeterminate point in the future he would occasionally start. Your mileage may vary, I guess. You clearly drew your own conclusion from his quote - it does not mean he's a liar. Say you don't like him, the way he's handling the lineups, etc...but calling him a liar from one quote is unnecessary and wrong. The conclusion was reasonable given the context. Most of the information we communicate isn't explicit, it's implied, and there's nothing wrong with that. Given the context, it was clear what that statement meant, and he didn't do what he said he'd do. He lied. He's a liar. You may want to spin it differently, or you may want to be polite and not use the term, but I calls it as I sees it. -

Agreed. Which is why, going back to the original point, I don't particularly believe him when he talks about needing Hill. -
This just in: Brewers are a .500 team.
-
At the very least, break out the slurve on two strikes. Just once.
-
A single each, Cedeno's being a two-out, two-RBI single.
-
Was it just me, or did Pie do a little hop when he caught that?
-
Yes there is reason. Those guys should have used up a decades worth of goodluck winning it all in '06. Yet, here we are. They kinda had that one coming for all the years they were legit good and lost in the playoffs, I figure.
-
It goes a long way toward preventing one from being a dumb one, though.
-
When do we ever get a call? About 20 minutes ago with Lee at first?

He's now got 909 major-league PAs with a OBP over .350. Cedeno is still better, but I may have to acknowledge soon that he isn't bad.

You really have a one-track mind on this stuff. Different situations require different tools and provide for different results. He might have been wrong or lying about Cedeno, but this is a different situation. It's a situation in which Piniella is asked to identify which baseball players should get playing time in order to advance the team's goal of winning. He's not showing a real good track record in these situations. -
Should Theriot go back to leading off?
Hairyducked Idiot replied to The-Riot's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Apparently, playing the best players doesn't matter. What matters is what feels fair to the ballplayers and respecting defined roles. -
So he doesn't hit into a DP /DeRosa Obviously it depends on the quality of the hitters, and you aren't playing for one run, but first and second, no out is the one situation where the successful sacrifice improves your odds of scoring.
-
He was bunting for a hit, I think. Pretty good bunt, but just a smidge too hard.
-
Since Pie got denigrated earlier for how he looked while making outs, presumably all these warning-track fly balls should be good for him?
-
I'm not a big fan of healthy Ron.
-
Soriano MATCHED It's one of those picture puzzles, get it?
-
Understand the need to see DeRosa get a day off. But the dream of having our best starting eight out there remains elusive.
