Submitted by Rob G. on

And we do it again. Here are the lineups for Opening Day 2010. Parachat is up and running as it will throughout every game of the season(you can access it via the menu bar above). You do have to register and it is a different registration than your TCR account.

Cubs Braves
Theriot SS #Cabrera LF
*Fukudome RF Prado 2B
Lee 1b # C. Jones 3B
Ramirez 3B *McCann C
Byrd CF Glaus 3B
Soriano LF Escobar SS
*Fontenot 2B *Heyward RF
Soto C *McLouth CF
#Zambrano P Lowe P

Zambrano (2009):

9-7, 3.77 ERA, 169.1 IP, 78 BB, 152 K, 10 HR

@ Turner Field (Career): 1-0, 3.00 ERA, 3 GS, 18 IP

Danger Will Robinson! McCann 7/12 (1.250 OPS), Glaus 3/10 with 2 HR's (1.350 OPS).

Pwnage! McLouth 5/24 (.708 OPS)

 

Lowe (2009):

15-10, 4.67 ERA, 194.2 IP, 111 K, 63 BB, 16 HR

Pwnage! Soriano 14/56 (.710 OPS with 3 HR's), C. Tracy 6/30 (.542 OPS), Ramirez 2/13 (.497 OPS), Theriot 2/12 (.481 OPS)

 

This is Zambrano's 6th straight Opening Day start. Let's take a stroll through memory lane.

2005 @ Arizona: Cubs win 16-6, Z can't get through 5 innings after hitting 106 pitches finishing with 4.2 IP, 3 ER, 8 K, 4 BB

2006 @ Cincinnati: Cubs win 16-7, Z can't get through 5 innings after hitting 105 pitches finishing with 4.2 IP, 5 ER, 5 BB, 5 K

2007 @ Cincinnati: Cubs lose 5-1, Z makes it through 5 innings on 92 pitches and gets the loss. 5 IP, 5 ER, 5 BB, 2 K

2008 vs. Milwaukee: Cubs lose 4-3 in extra innings but Z pitches a shutout through 6.2 IP before being lifted at 85 pitches. 6.2 IP, 5 K, 1 BB, 0 ER.

2009 @ Houston: Cubs win 4-2 and Z beats Roy Oswalt on 97 pitches and 6 innings. 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 BB, 6 K.

But in all seriousness, I don't care for the Cub's and Cub fan's unhealthy obsession with batting average. It doesn't really matter if the guy can actually PLAY baseball in cubbieland, as long as he hits 300, sign him up. If the Cubs are done in at some point this year, I'll blame that.

Of course, Vlad breaks it the very next hitter after I post it. Ahhh, gotta love baseball superstitions.

Well, that was fun for a half inning. Damn Z, you are such a buzz-kill.

OUCH! Heyward goes yard, down 6-3 and Z has gotten only one guy out. Is this still Spring Training?

Submitted by B Rock on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 04:58 pm

No expectations for this year and its only one game but.... Man, Carlos Zambrano is really no better then an average #2 starter on a good team. Hard to blame him given the level of use over the years but really he's a shadow of the pitcher we saw in the 2004 and 2005 seasons.

Submitted by Rob G. on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 04:50 pm

man on first, McLouth all-out dive, drops ball when he hits the ground, and no one sees it except Aramis who takes 2nd base. They call him and Byrd out for a double play.

Submitted by WISCGRAD on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 04:23 pm

Zambrano sucked. Samardzija in his usual fine form. Defense has been terrible, bobbles in the outfield, bad relays, etc. It's like they are not ready yet to play.

at least the other relievers have looked ok. Russel has a nice deep cutting thingy that I don't know what is because I don't pretend to. Looks like a nasty sinker or something. When I played baseball I couldn't hit anything that even dared to drop at the plate like that. Oh, and I don't mean, like college baseball or anything, just little league. Baseball murdered my confidence until about last year.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far.

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

  • Bill (view)

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
