Game Chat : BR Preview : Game Notes Steve Trachsel vs. Matt Morris Lineups:
Soriano LF Morgan CF
Theriot SS McLouth LF
Lee 1B Sanchez 2B
Ramirez 3B LaRoche 1B
Murton RF Bautista 3B
Jones CF Pearce RF
DeRosa 2B Paulino C
Kendall C Wilson SS
Trachsel P Morris P
Notes: This is a match-up between veteran righties who started the season pitching for eventual bottom-dwellers. Trachsel left Baltimore to join a division leader; Morris left San Francisco only to land on a different part of the bottom...Morris is one of those pitchers I think of as a proverbial Cub-killer, and he has had his moments against us. Still, over his last five starts versus the Cubs, Morris is 0-5, 7.86, allowing 46 hits and 7 HR in just 26 1/3 innings, which sounds an awful lot like batting practice...Trachsel last pitched for the Cubs against the Bucs in July of '99, in a game the Pittsburghs would win 6-1. I'd say it's time for revenge. Let's win this one for Tyler Houston!

The Cub Reporter gets stiffed again. http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/chi-mxa0909magcubsfansep09,1,306… "BCB is not the only game in town. The many other Cubs blogs, with names such as Agony and Ivy, Goat Riders of the Apocalypse, Cub Fan Nation, Bleacher Hideaway and View from the Bleachers, are testaments to the fact that everybody talks about the Cubs, but unlike the weather, everyone seems to know what to do about them." Typical. Lists like that are dead giveaways that the writer doesn't know what he's talking about. Agony and Ivy, for example, has had two posts since May... Cubs Fan Nation with a total of two posts all year is part of Goatriders which is also on the list... YEESH

Joe Sheehan from Baseball Prospectus' update on the NL East from Friday: http://tinyurl.com/36kx3e his interpretation of run differential discussion is interesting, I doubt if that is universally agreed up on though. ------- "Now, I’ll be the first one to tell you that run differential is both a better indicator of team quality and a better predictor of future performance than actual record is. Other than the impact of a particularly good or bad--or well-leveraged--bullpen, teams don’t show an ability to bunch their runs scored and allowed in ways that affect their won-loss record. At the same time, while a team’s run differential is a critical indicator of quality and long-term outlook, it’s less useful in predicting short-term performance. In fact, you can take that idea one step further: a baseball team’s performance over its next 23 games is virtually unpredictable, by whatever means you'd try to make one." and his conclusion... "I liked the Cubs in February, April, June and August, and I’m sticking with them now. Sometimes, the best team wins, and the Cubs have the best team."

Thanks for nothing CINC. First 3 batters for MIL gets HR's and the first 5 guys get hits. UGH!!!!!!!

And CWTP: thanks for the support. Speaking for myself, at least, I'll take a loyal core of TCR'ers over recognition from the Tribute. (And again speaking for myself, I really do wonder if we've just done enough to irk the Tribune that they're making a point of not referencing us.... That's sort of a cooler theory than the one that says they're not even aware of our existence.)

Thanks for nothing CINC. First 3 batters for MIL gets HR’s and the first 5 guys get hits. UGH!!!!!! As it turned out I believe the Brewers went back to back HR-HR-HR-single-single-single in that inning. The starter Dumatrait was removed after pitching 0.0 innings. I was pissed at the Reds for starting a batting practice pitcher against our rival in the pennant race until I remembered that he started against us too--- and tried his best to give us a win, lasting only 2.0 innings with 5 earned runs. Lilly stunk that day and the Reds won 11-9. Just looked at his game log and he also started against St.Louis so it looks like Cincinnati has been fair to us all.

It should of Since you're back mannytrillo, could we have a moratorium on this malaprop---at least until the season is over (which may be today)? it's a contraction: SHOULD'VE Meanwhile, Kevin Hart (who was the Cubs MILB organization's suggestion to take over for Marshall) takes over for Trashel (Hendry and Lou's idea). And he strikes out two in the third....no runs.

CWTP: "Since you’re back mannytrillo, could we have a moratorium on this malaprop—at least until the season is over (which may be today)? it’s a contraction: SHOULD’VE" Thanks professor Pennant... I didn't realize the grammor police we're steel in full effect hear at TCR.

why didn't marshall come in directly after trachsel? when is he going to start again? why was he removed? what the F is going on?

Grammar police?? You're not making a grammatical or even a spelling error, mannytrillo. I could care less about grammar and spelling mistakes. What you're doing is just stupid and annoying. "Should of" is a malapropism. It sounds like what you mean, but so does "should dove." But I won't mention it again. It's just painful to read.

*“I liked the Cubs in February, April, June and August, and I’m sticking with them now. Sometimes, the best team wins, and the Cubs have the best team.”* Right, because the best team is the one stupid enough to go add Monroe & Trachsel and think "Well, that'll do it!".

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

  • crunch (view)

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
