Len says, "how about a 2 run homer"? 1 microsecond later, Soriano BOMB (with Marshall aboard) Bob says,"we're going over to the riverboat tonight, partner."

major divot in RF by Cliff Floyd on the popup by Ryan to DeRosa to end the 2nd inning. Those were big skid marks...DeRosa was laughing pretty hard

That was a horribly, dumb, lazy error by kendall. 2 thrown out at plate 1 left at 3rd with 1 out 1 lazy error probably leading to multiple runs. nothing easy I guess.

Submitted by dave on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:17 pm

That is the second time in two days (i think) that Kendall has made an awful, lazy throw to 1st on a dropped third strike. The first time he did it didn't hurt hurt the Cubs. The second time probably cost the Cubs tonights game. Physical errors happen. Mental errors even happen sometimes. But lazy mental errors should be unacceptable. There is absolutely no reason Kendall should be bouncing throws to first in that situation.

Submitted by Green Lantern on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:50 pm

speaking of mental errors...... sending lee on the sac fly i have no problem with.....that was one of the weirdest plays ever with molina tagging lee from behind him however, to send theriot on marshall's hit with soriano coming up and when it was hit right at taguchi was dumb. this one was a mistake by quade, and i said it before theriot rounded third. quade's been pretty good, but this one hurts bc you lost the game by 1 and the next guy hits a homer. oh well. win tomorrow. come on marquis.

Submitted by rokfish on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:57 pm

so when we make the playoffs the question is blanco or soto? marshall or trachsel? cedeno or monroe ? those are the 3 issues i came uup with.

Submitted by MJ Miller on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:58 pm

When asked what Ramirez was upset about post-game, Pinella said he asked the first base coach and apparently Springer had said something to Ramirez. I missed this part of the game. Any insights?

Submitted by Andy on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:59 pm

Bah. What a crappy inning the third was. Marshall seemed visibly upset about that boner by Kendall, and I think he just couldn't recover. Overall though, a pretty encouraging day from the pitching perspective. Wood looked solid, Hart looked sharp, Dempster was very good in Game 1. I guess the offense is still the wild card. Will Lee find his clutch stroke? Will Theriot start reaching base again? Will Jacque Jones quit imitating First-Half Jacque Jones and quit rolling his wrists on and grounding out to second on every at-bat? If the answer to even one of these is "yes", I like the Cubs' chances.

Submitted by Wes on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:01 pm

I'll tell you why I agree, dave. When you've got a kid out there who needs everything he's got to wiggle himself off the hook every inning, you can't make him 4 outs. That's going to be a disaster. And that's what happened. Maybe it was mental, maybe it was just rust. Regardless, I've got to think the game unfolds differently if it's 2 out with 0 in that inning on as opposed to 1 out with 1 on.

Submitted by dave on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:01 pm

this one was a mistake by quade, and i said it before theriot rounded third. Very much agreed. I was pissed at that play - it wasn't even close, and it was clear that even a decent throw was going to be get the runner. Not a play you should have sent him on.

Submitted by Andy on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:03 pm

MJ Miller--Cards announcers thought that Springer was upset that Ramirez flipped his bat after popping up. This seems silly; clearly Ramirez was pissed that he hadn't gotten the job done. He wasn't trying to show up Springer. But they did show Ramirez and Springer exchanging words as ARam trotted up the first base line and Springer was walking off towards the dugout.

Submitted by dave on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:07 pm

Will Jacque Jones quit imitating First-Half Jacque Jones and quit rolling his wrists on and grounding out to second on every at-bat? Ummm... Jock was 11 for his last 27 (.407 BA) with four walks (.484 OBP) before today. After today he is 13 for his last 35 (.371) with four walks (.436 OBP). Pretty sure that Jones "rolling his wrists and grounding out to second" hasn't really been the problem with the Cubs' offense lately.

We're still okay, right? The what-have-you-done-for me-lately doesn't necessarily apply to the second game of a double header, does it? **** me skatin'! Everything counts now.

Submitted by dc60124 on Sun, 09/16/2007 - 09:19 am

1. it's one thing for kendall to be unable to throw out base-runners. (or air-mail his 2b-man); it is another thing entirely to not be able to reach 1b with a throw after a strike-out in the dirt. with 3 catchers on the roster, is ure hope kendall gets a couple of days off to "recuperate". 2. i may be the only guy in town who thought lee was safe at home in the 1st; lee didn't beef about it, nor did len and bob say anything. just looked to me like lee's lead leg/foot/toe hit the plate before the tag got lee. 3. the send of theriot made me clutch my chest in agony, and wonder how i missed the press release to "welcome back wavin' wendell". perhaps lou will give quade the day off today also, and make kendall the 3b coach while soto catches. 4. having 2 outs taken away at home (again, only my opinion on lee), and giving away a 4th out in the 3rd, means the cubs had to play one more inning than the cards. and the cubs just aren't good enough for that. here's hoping they get rid of all their poor luck and/or stupidity in september, so the decks are clear for october. 5. i kind of hope both theriot and derosa sit today. no big cedeno fan here, but t & d look gassed. and maybe even a ward for lee switch at 1b. 6. go cubs.

got this from this mornings sun-times: About a half hour after Saturday's first game, stadium paramedics wheeled a young man on a stretcher off of an elevator. He was alert and chatty but had some blood on his shirt and shoes. Immediately behind them, Cubs broadcaster Ron Santo stepped off the elevator and walked past a handful of reporters. ''I decked him,'' Santo deadpanned. ''Cardinals fan.'' http://tinyurl.com/2dq4kt

Rokfish, Answers: Soto, Marshall, and Monroe. I'm not sure Blanco is healthy, Trachsel is done with the job he was brought in to do, and they need a better RH bat then a middle infielder.

Swanny: "We’re still okay, right? The what-have-you-done-for me-lately doesn’t necessarily apply to the second game of a double header, does it?" We control our own destiny as of right now, so yeah, we are still okay. Unfortunately, the Brewers are too. Tied in the loss column with 13 games to go. Go Cubs!!!

Submitted by Johann on Sun, 09/16/2007 - 09:04 am

While Marshall was off, I didn't think he pitched as badly as the results showed. Two of the hits were cheapy infield hits, there was the Kendall error and some other pretty poor defense including a really bad throw from Jones to home that could have gotten the runner and a poor route from Jones on a fly to center that maybe could have been caught. I wasn't very happy with the quick pull Lou had today of pitchers after defensive mistakes. If he should have pulled anyone, it'd the guys who made the mistakes.

Submitted by carmenfanzone on Sun, 09/16/2007 - 09:33 am

I'm a little concerned that Lou is pulling a Durocher. Some of these guys could sure use a day off-Jones, Theriot and even DeRosa. They look tired. This game was very much like the loss to the Dodgers when Zambrano tried to score. The team started pressing so bad they couldn't execute. I recommend a Craig Monroe start today against Mulder.

Submitted by jessemerz on Sun, 09/16/2007 - 09:12 am

You ask for Monroe and you got him. And Murton. And Soto. I'd REALLY like to see Monroe get 2 or 3 hits. Oy. He hasn't done much yet for us! Hopefully Soto will remain hot.

    Childersb3: Miguel Cruz walked six in 1.2 IP in his last start, so I guess he is improving. Wilme Mora also walked six in one of his appearances a week or two ago, and one or two others have walked five. I don't know what would be the most I have ever seen a pitcher throw in a game out here, because the manager / pitching coach usually gets the pitcher out of the game if it gets too ridiculous. 

    As for the attendance, probably about 20 of the 25 were early arrivals for the Savannah Bananas game who came over to Field # 1 to see what was going on, and once they saw all the bases on balls (12 walks by Cubs pitchers and four by Angels pitchers) they ran away screaming. I'm used to it so it didn't bother me that much.

    Jed has added Teheran, Tyranski, Kissaki, and now Straily and Nico Zeglin today.

    Zeglin is 24 yrs old. Pitched well at Long Beach St in '23 and well in some Indy Ball.

    They also added Reilly and Viets in late ST.

    Have to search for MiLB arm depth anywhere you can and at all times!!!

    25 in Attendance!!!

    Phil, is that a backfield record?

    Also, 6 BBs for Cruz in 2 IP. What's the most walks you've seen in one EXT ST outing that you can recall?

    He has a pulse. Apparently that’s the only requirement at this point.

    cubs sign dan straily...for some reason.  minor league deal.

    welcome back.

    zac rosscup is down in mexico trying to make it happen...maybe they could throw him a contract, too.  junior lake is his teammate.  shore up a bunch of holes with some washups.

    The great thing about going to live sports events is you don't know if you're going to see something historic. Today I went to the Cub game, after putting the liner back in my coat and fishing my Cubs knit hat out of the closet. I needed all that- my seats are in the upper deck, left, so the east wind was in my face. Both teams failed to capitalize on good situations, but both starters did a good job to accomplish this. So, we go to the bottom of the sixth inning. The Cubs tie it up, and then Pete Crow-Armstrong comes up. We all know he would still be in AAA if not for injuries, and future Hall-of-Famer Justin Verlander absolutely carved up the young fellow up in his first two plate appearances. So this time he hits a fly ball. The wind was blowing in and had suppressed several strong fly balls- including a rocket off Altuve's bat that Canario hauled in (does anybody else remind me of Jorge Soler?) , but the ball kept carrying and carrying. 107mph, legit angle and carry. The crowd went nuts, the dugout went nuts. Maybe, just maybe, I saw the first homer from a long-term Cub.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Which was my original premise. They won the trades but lost their souls. They no longer employ the Cardinal way which had been so successful for so long.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.
