here's the lineup from Mlb.com Soriano, Izturis, Pagan, Ramirez, Ward, Barrett, Derosa, Coats, Lilly Pagan in RF, Coats in LF... Rockies have their "A" lineup... Taveras, Carroll, Atkins, Helton, Holliday, Hawpe, Tulowitzki, Torrealba, Lawrence

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:56 pm

Soriano, CF Izturis, SS Pagan, RF Ramirez, 3B Ward, 1B Barrett, C DeRosa, 2B Coats, LF lineup for COL is as-expected starters (with the possible exception of tulowitzki at SS and carroll at 2nd...which is also highly possible they'll be starters, too).

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:58 pm

I guess matsui is their starter at 2b, isn't tulowitzki their SS? or is still being decided between him and Barmes?

Submitted by The E-Man on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:03 pm

ROB G: How'd you make out w/Cubs/Dodgers tix this year? I'm going to be @ the Saturday game. I hope they get some better food stuff going besides "Garlic Fries 'n Grease" Man - I tasted thise for 2 weeks!

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:06 pm

haven't even looked yet, never had a problem getting day of game or a few weeks before once I figure out what I can go to... I'm still trying to figure out a way though to not pay McCourt for parking there. If he's going to keep raising prices, he could at least try and improve the horrid configuration.

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:09 pm

on another note, shouldn't MLB.com give free access to MLB.tv during the pre-season? Wouldn't that be a good way to promote their product and get people interested?

Submitted by legelsegel on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:10 pm

Definitely a 'make the squad' day with Murton, Floyd, and Jones sitting. Coats, Pagan, and Ward are playing for a spot today. SORIANO DEEEEEEEEEP.. I can get used to that!

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:10 pm

carrol is supposed to be their starter at 2nd, but he's having a horrid spring. numbers aside, he's just not making good contact and they already might displace mr. dear meat at SS and move him to 2nd. they got 3 similarly tallented, but no-slam-dunk options for 2nd right now.

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:11 pm

Ward's not playing for a spot, he's got a million dollar guaranteed contract...

Submitted by The E-Man on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:15 pm

"I’m still trying to figure out a way though to not pay McCourt for parking there." I've been to quite a few parks. Parking there is absolutely atrocious.

Submitted by Wes on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:16 pm

Rob, for clarification, Tulo's the guy at short for Colorado. It'll probably be Matsui at second, but he'll split some time with Jamey Carroll. I don't think Barmes is going to play that much at all unless Tulo totally sucks. If this group gets something out of their young guys, they might be dramatically improved this year. Tulowitzsky and Ianetta both need to hit well. Still gotta find a way to get guys out at the back end of the rotation and in middle relief. LaTroy Hawkins looks like he's firmly the setup man to get to Fuentes.

Submitted by BTO on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:25 pm

Are any of the Cubs among the ST leaders in RBI, extra base hits, or total bases or ERA?

There was a post a while back about Cubs runs scored and runs allowed for last season. The Cubs scored a lot of runs in the early innings last year.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:33 pm

If this is tryout day, Izturis with his 3 outs in 2 PA's batting 2nd must be locking down the 8th slot.

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:38 pm

Jacque has 12 RBI's, tied for 4th with a bunch of guys... if that was Soriano's fourth, he's tied for 3rd right now..

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:40 pm

Ward with a single and RBI in his AB, seems to have picked it up. Pagan scored that run after his double. Is Pagan hitting from the left-side?

Submitted by Jace on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:41 pm

Yeah, they scored a lot of runs early last year, then often would go completely comatose for the rest of the game. I just would like to see this continue.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:44 pm

Pretty sure Pagan batted left handed in the first. Lily just pitched out of a bases loaded no-outs jam, pretty impressively though it was 8,9,1 due up.

Submitted by Jace on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:55 pm

Yeah, along with the Home Runs against division rivals. Didn't Arroyo hit like 3 or 4 off the Cubs last year?

Submitted by jacos on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:59 pm

Who was the Cubs career minor league 3b who hit like 8 ST homers a couple of years back? I believe he went to Japan.

Submitted by BTO on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:01 pm

Does anyone know why mlb.com will show a game on mlb.tv (audio + video), but not carry the audio feed for Gameday subscribers?

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:04 pm

McClain is either with the A's or Giants right now, tore up the PCL last year. probably no radio broadcast.....

Submitted by dave on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:07 pm

I’m still trying to figure out a way though to not pay McCourt for parking there. Here is your tip. Don't drive. Take a bus.

Rob G.: "on another note, shouldn’t MLB.com give free access to MLB.tv during the pre-season? Wouldn’t that be a good way to promote their product and get people interested?" HA HA HA Are you serious? This is MLB and Selig we are talking about. Remember they are trying to do things that limit the people who can buy their product.

Submitted by mannytrillo on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:12 pm

But in all seriousness. I agree, it would make sense to "tease" MLBtv to try and attract more subscribers.

Submitted by Jace on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:13 pm

I feel like I was able to do that at one point, either last year or the year before for 1 game in ST...

Submitted by sorryaño on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:14 pm

Last year they gave free video feed for the world baseball classic dealy...

Submitted by BTO on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:16 pm

Radio broadcast or not. How about just the audio feed from mlb.tv when there are no other sources?

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:16 pm

oops...my bad...the inning turned over...gagne only gave up 1 homer...sorry, semi-distracted.

Submitted by Wes on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:17 pm

Thus far, it's another good outing for Lilly. He's got a 4 hitter going into the 4th. I just realized his spring ERA is under 2.

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:25 pm

barry bonds is still good at hitting homers, btw...just took whatshisface asian dude closer-guy-type from texas out.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:27 pm

Oh the Rockies announcers declared Barrett is one of the best two-way catchers in the game...I didn't know men could be two-way catchers, but it does go to show the 'he hits good, he must field good' mindset that baseball people seem to fall into.

Submitted by Jace on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:31 pm

Lawrence owned us for the last 4 inning he pitched too... Offense has gone to sleep....

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:35 pm

GUZMAN!!!! 1 IP, 1 K, 0 BB, 0 H at least we busted a few singles off Lawrence. We did draw 3 walks against Jimenez, one measly hit.

Submitted by Wes on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:37 pm

The U-Ball! Kid has some really electric stuff. Saw him pitch a couple of times on a trip out west. He'll be a good one in the next year or two for the Rockies. They'll be on to something with U-Ball on Fuentes at the end. He's also doing this against what is certainly our B group of Pie, Cedeno, Pagan, Perez, Hill, DeRosa, Coats, and Hoffpauir.

Submitted by cubswinthepennant on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:42 pm

NOTEWORTHY: Piniella utilized GUZMAN in relief in the 8th PIE was brought in late (why he was brought in at all, I dunno) and struck out both plate appearances. Maybe he was told to unflatten his swing.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 03:47 pm

Guzman a K on a high curveball, a flyout to the warning track in center and a groundout to second.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

  • Eric S (view)

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
