FWIW, thecubreporter.com does not redirect to here anymore. It seems to hang up at all-baseball.com .... I thought this site was down until I got wise and came to mvn.com directly.

Nice to see: With the Giants' shading their outfield toward right, Matt Murton doubling down the left field line. Troubling: Were those all-or-nothing tries by Soriano and Jones? the ones that led to a man standing on third..Or just inept outfielding? Troubling: The "wildpitch" by Z that led to a run. It was described as outside and low. Was this yet another case of Michael Barrett's inability to stop low and away pitches from getting past him or was it really a wildpitch?

yes, meaning really all-or-nothing hard plays...according to the radio guys, anyway.

FWIW, thecubreporter.com does not redirect to here anymore. It seems to hang up at all-baseball.com …. yeah, best not to use a 2-way redirect trying to get here... I think Ruz still owns the domain and I doubt he's updated it to go here.

Has it become common place on this site for people to toss out predictions based on nothing? I'm not talking about things such as somebody saying "I think Murton may break out and hit 25 home runs this year." I'm talking about predicting major arm surgery in the next 6 weeks for Mark Prior. Or over the winter, a respected contributor writing that Cliff Floyd would sign with Baltimore. One of the best things about this sight has been thought-provoking questions and comments about the Cubs. There are too many other places where people who know very little about the game throw something against the wall without any source hoping it sticks. I hope this is just a very minority of people we shouldn't really pay any attention to.

I hope this is just a very minority of people we shouldn’t really pay any attention to. yeah pretty much...... in other news, Prior to start Wed. versus the Rockies in his final Cactus League game, should be fun telling him he's going to Iowa afterwards. "Dad" Prior is going to be pissed....

Boy, we're really gettin to Noah Lowry, eh? Ronny's earning that final roster spot. No complaints about Z, either.

Submitted by crunch on Fri, 03/23/2007 - 03:59 pm

'The “wildpitch” by Z that led to a run. It was described as outside and low. Was this yet another case of Michael Barrett’s inability to stop low and away pitches from getting past him or was it really a wildpitch? ' If it gets to him in the air within arm's reach it's a passed ball. Unless the announcers say something like 'Barrett really should have gotten that one', you probably shouldn't read too much into it.

It was scored as a wild pitch. They typically don't get those wrong. While a passed ball isn't technically an error, if the run scores on a passed ball, and the run would not have scored as the inning played out, it's an unearned run to the pitcher. They make sure they get those right since it affects ERA and stuff.

WES: The pitch in question was a slider that hit the dirt right at home plate, and Barrett tried to catch it on a short hop backhanded (he didn't move his body to try and block it), but it bounced off his glove and landed just a few feet behind home plate. Barrett retrieved the ball quickly as Zambrano covered home, but Barrett's throwed sailed over Z's head and the run scored. With a runner on third, Barrett MUST do a better job of blocking pitches like that. It was scored a Wild Pitch because it hit the dirt, but most MLB catchers would have shifted their feet, moved their bodies, fallen to their knees, and blocked the pitch, keeping it in front of them. But Barrett didn't do that.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
