  1. I think that part of the point you are missing is one that UK brought out...making the pitcher throw more pitches. The getting on base part is a bonus, a big bonus but the earlier you work the starting pitching out of the game or make him less effective the better. Game situations dictate many different scenerios and moving a runner over to score a run in a tight game is fine but hurts if you need multiple runs. I'd by far rather have a guy walk and push the guy into scoring postion than to hit a grounder while making an out to do so. I'm a big fan of OBP and I dispise fanatsy baseball.
  2. Now Neifi can bat where he belongs....9th. Good luck old friend and God Speed.
  3. I wonder if the Cards are regretting letting Mateo go now with the pitching situation they have.
  4. I don't. I was so much happier when I was ignorant about the minors and what really happens with the Cubs. Calgon...take me away!
  5. Great answers.... thanks Jake!
  6. I'm trying to be nice. I'm to the point where I'm sick of bashing this team and ready to find another way to spend my time. This negative crap is getting me in too bad of a mood too often.
  7. Hinske is the kind of player the Cubs need to man the corner postions and pinch hit. Mabry has done a decent job though....not as well as I would have like but ok.
  8. That was pretty good and very entertaining.
  9. Parcells calls TO trained pig! TO counters by doing an infomercial! More to follow! Billy boy is going to have to use comedy with the press because this guy is going to drive him nuts.
  10. I've seen pitchers throw sidearm but never swing/punch sidearm.
  11. How old is Rogers.....3? One game and he changes his mind. As Baker says, you have to look at the whole picture which is 4 years of terrible decisions while in Chicago. Seriously, this team HAS to replace all the people in charge and if Hendry/MacPhail extend Baker they are more baseball ignorant than I think they already are.
  12. Hendry wants the Tigers top 4 prospects and unlike with the Dodgers this time he's going to get them!
  13. Why? Are you some kind of troublemaker? I thinks it's a good thread to have on here.
  14. With a rookie pitching for the Cubs, I don't get it. You have to assume the 1-0 game in this ballpark with these two well rested pitching staffs. Just read this 2 hours after the game was over. Thought the irony was fairly amusing. We do know our stuff!
  15. This is called addition by subtraction. Since the Cubs aren't going anywhere anyhow, tell the Nationals they can even keep Soriano. Gutsiest move I ever saw.
  16. Since the Cubs are so close to the wildcard they can trade Rusch, Perez and Bynum to Washington for Soriano!
  17. What a great moment with O'Malley hugging his dad and giving him the ball.
  18. Each circumstance is different. He did what he had too and now it's up to Ohman to blow it.
  19. Goofy Baker should have bunted Theriot this time! :wink:
  20. Nice to see Theriot get a chance to hit into a dp....ouch.
  21. Dusty is going to ride this colt as long as he can today.
  22. He's not even getting the .5! IMO the kid will be a 500 type pitcher or worse in his career but he has stepped up today.
  23. Rocket circled by Pagan....he seems to do that a lot. Great job by O'Malley today just when the Cubs really needed it!
