Test?

Submitted by Andrew on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:22 pm

Yet another game for Pie to sit. Snell would be a good test for him. I know we're trying to win but what's the point of having him here if he gets an AB a night?

Submitted by Andrew on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:25 pm

Yeah, I know. I'm not sure dealing JJ is such a great move either though. Arrgh. Maybe the ideal situation is if Floyd gets hurt?

Submitted by The E-Man on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:49 pm

WAKE UP! JJones is not going anywhere! He has had some terrific AB's in the last 2 wks and is playing fine in CF. Let your savior wait Andrew. He's 21 freaking years old and is overmatched in the batter's box. Do you think Lou is stupid? Do you think he was given the starter's job right away when there were as competent or more competent vets in front of him that were playing well? Don't worry Andrew - he will be the D replacement. If - and a very big IF considering other than Cliff Floyd there is no other LH bat with power - JJones gets traded, Pie will get the playing time. OR thru an injury, imo.

felipe lopez solo homer means the brewers are losing.....seems like the first time in weeks (not rickie)

Submitted by Andrew on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:43 pm

He's not my savior, E-Man. Back off. I don't even really have a problem with him being in the bigs. He's a good guy in the clubhouse apparently (per the Barrett interview) and he's making Soriano happy. Fine. It would be nice if he got a start every once in a while.

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:45 pm

been a lot of days off, Lou said he'd start resting the regulars so I'm sure Pie will get some starts.

Submitted by Matt on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:07 pm

Two guys collide in the outfield on what should have been a sure out and that's called a hit? Something tells me Pie would have had that ball in center.

Submitted by mannytrillo on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:30 pm

How long is this "test" going to be for Izturis???? I think he has failed miserably, can we FINALLY move Theriot over to SS for good...PLEASE!!!

Submitted by djchi on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:40 pm

Ron, I appreciate your dedication to JDRF, but there's no need to be giving shout-outs to people who help the cause with one out in the ninth in a one-run ballgame. Do it in the third inning for pete's sake.

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:40 pm

good night for dempster to revert to form.... some insurance runs would have helped though...

Submitted by mannytrillo on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:44 pm

Dumpster is baaaacccckkkkkkkk...

Submitted by The E-Man on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:03 pm

I'm sorry. The god awful eighth inning with DLEE @ 3rd and 0 outs was the game. Marte was lights out. I wish we had him instead of our lefties like Oh-Man! and Eyre.

Submitted by mannytrillo on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:19 pm

Wild Thing, I think you talked a bit too soon. A stupid base running error by Theriot.

Submitted by eli18 on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:22 pm

too many F-ing walks from this relief corps. waaaay too many for a supposedly elite club.

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:30 pm

can soriano be RF yet? maybe move murton-floyd back to LF? maybe...

Submitted by billybucks on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:42 pm

Michael Barrett caught stealing? Thennnnn Izzy gets his hit. Tough night for Murton -- gags in the 8th vs. a LH, can't throw out the tying run in the 9th, then crushes a line drive in the 10th that's caught and turned into a DP. Not his night.

Submitted by Jacob E. on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:46 pm

Eyre is awesome.... We would be 30 - 0 if Ohman and Eyre pitched every inning.

Submitted by billybucks on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:48 pm

Wow -- what the hell has happened to Scott Eyre? Looks like the Cubs blew too many chances to win this -- the 8th was particularly brutal, although not surprising. Rats.

Submitted by Jacob E. on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:53 pm

This game is hard to judge... on one hand it can be argued that pinella was way too aggressive tonight (e.g. using pie as a pure defensive replacement and then replacing him for murton... now, in the 12th inning we could use his bat) Then on the other hand it could be argued that pinella's aggressiveness set the Cubs up to win and they blew their chance several times...!?!? Though, with that said... the Cubs D has bailed them out tonight

Submitted by Jacob E. on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:54 pm

chifan: I was just thinking that Tracy has got to be going on wild in the clubhouse... Pirates deff. aren't getting in favors tonight by the first base ump

Submitted by chifan3887 on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:21 pm

Eyre has to have the record tonight for the highest WHIP in a game without giving up a run.

Submitted by dave on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:41 pm

chifan... what are you talking about? the runner was stealing, and barrett was throwing to izzy who was covering 3b - a-ram shouldn't have tried to field the ball

Submitted by chifan3887 on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:44 pm

Runners were on 1st and 2nd and Duke was on to pinch hit to move them over. Ramirez was in to field the bunt. The runner on 2nd goes to steal 3rd and Barrett throws over to Izturis who is covering on 3rd on the play. Barrett throws and it hits rameriez's glove.

Submitted by eli18 on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:46 pm

either way - that's a well-earned loss. plenty of blame to go around....and yet another strong start from Lilly wasted.

Submitted by Wes on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:48 pm

Completely and utterly inept at the plate. Got nothing done after a 3-2 lead. It's a head-scratcher that this team can go almost 8 innings without scoring a single run against the PIRATES BULLPEN.

MLB.COM says Lilly has made 7 starts on the season, 7 of which have been 'quality starts'. 2 wins to show for it.

Submitted by Horatio on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:39 pm

Hit and run was awful. Managers should just resist the urge to interfere. The Cubs have hit like 4 HRs all season. What the heck is going on here.

Submitted by Chad on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:41 pm

Overall, sure there is a lot of blame to go around but once again, Lou Pinella should be called Lou Pinheada. I am counting down the days til he's fired. (don't wrorry, I'm realistic, it's probably @1300) Nice use of Felix Pie. Comes in as a 'defensive replacement' in the 8th inning of a 1 run game. You just have to get Floyd out of that game right there, right? NO! It was a move that didn't need to be made at all. Complete over-managing. Nice job with the failed hit and run to fuck up the 12th. Afraid of a double play? I wonder why? Cause Jacque Jones BLOWS! FU Lou! And GODDAMMIT! Sometimes a team needs to pick each other up. And if you're not going to score runs then the DAMNED CLOSER NEEDS TO COME THROUGH. This bullpen if F*#!ED. Sure overall the numbers look good but just as I was saying in the chat room, numbers can lie!!!!! THEY CAN FUCKING LIE!!!! And 1 win from the bullpen is pathetic. This was a disgusting loss. The entire Cub team should be ashamed of themselves.

Submitted by chifan3887 on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 05:35 pm

Dave, My first impression of the play is that Barrett hit Ramirez more than Ramriez trying to catch it. Chad, I know you like your managers to eat fruit and not do anything, but every employed manager in MLB makes the Pie for Floyd move and use all their guys to win a game like on Sunday.

Submitted by Chad on Wed, 05/09/2007 - 05:01 am

chifan, not a fucking chance in hell. I looked it up, and in the last week only one time did a manager use that many players in a 10 inning game. The next highest number was 17 or 18. And no one makes that Pie for Floyd move with Floyd due up in the bottom of the inning. One run lead in the 8th is not enough of a pad to make a defensive move. You do that in the ninth.

Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 05/09/2007 - 05:05 am

MLB.COM says Lilly has made 7 starts on the season, 7 of which have been ‘quality starts’. I think MLB.com is wrong... he threw 5.1 IP and gave up 4 ER in his previous start @ Pitt.

    I have to disagree. They got not just A triple A stud but THE AAA stud of the entire PCL for a position player who hadn’t played above the AZL level and a pitcher who was rather mediocre in his first taste of pro ball at low A. I’m not saying the guys they traded haven’t shown great promise but they have a very long way to go and a whole lot to prove before they make the bigs. Especially since Busch nearly filled a defined need (whether it had been at third or first) I take this trade any day of the week and don’t bother looking back.

    matt shaw (AA) has a .381/.552/.905 line through 7 games...3 homers and a triple.  6 games at 3rd, 1 game DH (5 PO, 7 A, 0 E).

    that's somewhat fun news.

    i was blown away confused/pissed when it was announced the cubs were trading for y.almonte.

    i was thrilled when m.busch was announced as part of the trade.

    it's really weird to have the "you gotta take this payroll guy, too" (1.9m) part of the trade leak before the main piece.

    the cubs didn't get a deal given what they gave up, but i was very happy to have a guy like busch in the fold with so much club control.

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Have to admit I was initially disappointed the Cubs traded away the upside of Jackson Ferris but Busch is making a believer out of me.  If I still lived in midwest guessing we would have invented some drink special named a Busch Bomb at the local drinking establishment to celebrate his homers.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

  • crunch (view)

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.
