Game 44 Thread / Cubs @ Padres (2 of 3)

Game Chat Sean Marshall vs. David Wells

Comments

The - Riot on the bench tonight... Soriano, Pagan, DLee, ARam, Barrett, Orange Guy, Derosa, Izzy & Marshall vs. Giles, Cruz, Cameron, Gonzalez, Greene, Baird, Kouzmanoff, Sledge & Wells

In the last 2 weeks Theriot is hitting .254 with 6 runs scored, 3 RBIs, and 2 SBs. Let him sit.

Neil Cotts started and pitched the first 3 inings for the I-Cubs tonight. 1 hit, no runs, no walks and 2K's. Sounds good, but he problem wasn't getting out AAA hitters...

on the pregame radio interview with Santo, Lou said it was hard incorporating the three lefty's that were in the bullpen into action. translation: they all sucked so much it was tough to figure out which to demote, so the last guy to screw up got to go to Iowa.

DAVE: I heard Murton stole a base tonight??? Maybe he does have above average speed?

Murton doubled off 2nd on a bloop to RF...apparently, he's not speedy enough to make up for lousy baserunning.

That base was stolen on Wells. Murton was able to read the high leg kick. But that orange hair sure makes him look fast.

The guy's created 5 outs in 3 at-bats tonight! Perhaps his little mini-hit-streak was a deceptive illusion...PLEASE pinch-hit Riot for Marshall next inning and get Izzy out of there in case his spot comes around again in an important situation!

Ugh, why not pinch hit The Riot in that basesloaded situation. All Neifi, er, IzTurdis, does is slap at the ball. Outfield plays at coed softball girl depth for him. Booooooo.

i mean talk about that HR being fait accompli right on the heels of suckturis's awesome AB.

yes. "ARE piece of shortstop" Or - you can do the right thing and blame HENDRY for the "Gold Glover!"

Or - you can do the right thing and blame HENDRY for the “Gold Glover!” I thought Maddux approved that trade to "help" the Cubs...

Hey, it's Lou playing Izzy every day no matter what. I better hear that Theriot was hurt tonight.

I was following on Gameday and want to make sure: did Jacque Jones REALLY try to pull an outside pitch on 3-2 with the game on the line? Really? We're paying this guy actual money to put our jersey on? (The loss isn't necessarily his fault, but this is just another example of Jacque not knowing how to play the game right)

Also, when the game is on the line, you bring in someone like Ward who has proven he can PH vs Jones, who is in a major slump.

Hey CT Steve: Soriano 6/38, .158 avg Barrett 7/37, .189 avg DeRosa: 3/19, .158 avg It's not like this team has been tearing the cover off the ball the last 2 weeks.

    steele leaves the game with a hamstring or knee injury.  sigh.

    ...and a madrigal "non-error" leads to a sac fly for a tie game.  nice.

    having a ball clank off your glove, but still getting it count as a hit because it was hit hard is a nice stats gift.

    For sure. This lineup isn’t exactly stacked as is, and subbing out a Cooper or even a Tauchman for Madrigal won’t do it any favors.

    the ESPN bottom graphic taking up 1/8th of the screen sucks.

    i only use ESPN during baseball season and i'm forced to watch a baseball broadcast designed to be broadcast in sports bars and betting parlors where the news/scores of other games is as important as what you're actually tuned in to watch.

    morel triple to start the season....yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    LHP Blake Weiman appears to have been the last cut from the AAA Iowa roster. He is with the Tennessee group at Minor League Camp.

    bruce bochy is hobbling rather badly for a guy who's had 2 hip replacements.  his gait is extremely wonky taking the lineup card to the ump.

  • crunch (view)

    yeah, for me this isn't about who's better at 3rd.  it's madrigal, period.  for me it's about who's not hitting in the lineup because madrigal is in the lineup.

    occasional play at 3rd for madrigal, okay.  going with the steele/ground-ball matchup...meh, but okay, whatever.

    seeing madrigal get significant starting time...no thanks.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Yeah I am very disappointed Madrigal is starting. He has no business as a starter. He is AAA insurance, a back up at best. Sure his defense looks fine because he plays far enough in that his noodle arm isn’t totally exposed. It comes at the cost of 3B range.

    He’s garbage, and a team serious about winning would NOT have him starting opening day.

    in other news, it took 3 PA before a.rizzo got his 1st HBP of the season.
