Gameday Open Thread / Brewers @ Cubs

The Cubs final game in Arizona this spring, as they'll hop on a plane to Vegas to finish off the spring training schedule this weekend versus the Mariners. With the Brewers and Cubs set to play next week, both managers go with minor league pitchers, Cory Bailey versus Mark DiFelice.

Comments

that we got from Detroit at the end of 2004? Wasn't he a catcher, though?

I've never seen Cory Bailey pitch before, but I won't be driving to Des Moines anytime soon. ARam really dogged it on an off-line throw, too. Mil 6 - 1 Cubs Top 2nd. Cameron just homered. All 6 runs with 2 out.

Hendry on Len and Bob. - last LHRP still in air - felt bad for tough IF and OF decisions (DeRosa crushes a triple) - worked on 5-6 trades but thinks Reed Johnson and Felix Pie are the best scenario that could've happened - "The trade that people have been talking about for 2-3 months, obviously we would've liked to add a player like that, but we're very happy with what we have." - BRob deal wasn't holding Cubs up from other deals. Coming back for another half-inning.

- Hendry said Murton will play in Iowa before he would be "given away." - Very happy with the bullpen situation, the defense, Pie and Reed Johnson. - Waiting out Lahey situation, didn't say but sounded like they want him in the Cubs system - To Len's query biggest concern, Hendry talks a little about the rotation and the competition and candidates the Cubs have had there. - Wants to see more NCAA scholarships to help develop US player pool

would be wise to get some power tips from the youngsters.

Cubs and Murton catch a break... man on third, 1 out, Murton chops it to the third. Pinch-runner Andres Blanco doesn't go of course but strays from the bag. The shortstop sneaks behind him and the 3bman tries to get Blanco at third but he gets back in. Should have just looked him back and thrown to first...

"I don't know what the resolution is -- I haven't heard anything except what somebody told me," Roberts said Thursday. "[Andy and I] talked for two minutes here yesterday. 'Highly unlikely' doesn't seem like a resolution to me." Even Roberts is annoyed by Macphail...

Fontenot or the shortstop just screwed up badly...probably Fontenot since it was a righty up to bat. man on first was stealing, but neither covered second and Mcgehee's throw went into center sending the go-ahead run to third with 1 out... and Walrond with a wild pitch or passed ball to give brewers the lead..

Ugly tie today. The top of the tenth inning was a horrible demonstration of baseball by the Cubs. Fontenot, McGeehee and Campusano looked lost on the field. Good game overall, though. On to Vegas! And btw, the new Mediaplayer powered by Silverlight is awesome. No buffer underruns and pretty cool new features.

You are correct, Rob G. With a RH batter and the runner stealing 2B, it is the second baseman's responsibility to take the throw. Only exception would be if the SS and 2B verbally agreed to something different (e.g. RH hitter consistently hits to opposite field). In other words, Fontenot had his head up his ass.

    I worry that Morel will lose starts at 3B as long as this roster lacks a compelling DH.

    I think if you had ranked players by how much the team could ill afford to have them miss significant time, Steele would be right at the top of the list.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it).

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.
