Comments

Dr. aaron...link says "document not found". I suspect that's the same message Eyre gets when he tries to look up his portfolio online.

Dubois as a DH? Never mind that that's about all he should ever try to be in MLB. Does Lou really have noone else to stick into the lineup?

just from reading the boxscore: Theriot singles, out stealing 2nd. Johnson out. Hoffpauir and Dubois single, Soto walks.Bags loaded. Fontenot K's. ...that's how Ronald Regan did it.

and the magnificent Theodore Roosevelt Lilly on the mound... Duran K's. Third baseman Young singles. Josh Hamilton out. Andruw Jones K's. end 1st.

"Harden to face hitters on Saturday...Cubs hitters, no games yet." Ye Gods! That means at some point Harden might pitch to Bradley? That'd be the injury equivalent of the Ghostbusters crossing the streams........people in a 50-mile radius would have their right arm fall off and then they'd have to limp after it. Out to 100 miles the entire population would go on the DL.

This sore quad has got to be a fucking joke. Seriously, already? I'm a Hendry guy, but I just can't get excited about Bradley's chances of living up to his contract.

it doesn't matter, if Bradley isn't playing on opening Day of a 6-month season, the season is over...

I'm glad to see Fuld tag one with Piniella watching. I'm not sure Lou has seen Fuld hit a ball. Apparently he's not just a singles hitter. He slugged .513 in 200 at bats in Venezuela this winter. He also put up those crazy numbers in the AFL in '07. He doesn't hit for average but his OBP is always high with lots of walks. Our regular center fielder is no bargain, so Fuld is interesting.

Roquet gets rocked, Stevens and Mateo with scoreless innings... 10-4 win. Cubs own the Cactus League scrubs. B.  Webb down with a sore forearm to join Johann's sore elbow.

    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.

    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.

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...
