There is one-out, the count is 1-1, and the pitcher and position players will be not as “On” where the pitcher will want to get a strike, can Harden lay one down.
Now this is the problem-—Soriano is up after Harden so he is run producer—-but my guess is if the count goes 2-1 Piniella might think about it.
Or the Cubs could go with a safety squeeze which is different than a suicide squeeze
Why would you mention small sample size, and then not look at all the data you do have? He has had exactly one at bat decided in a 3-1 count this year. “Small” doesnt even describe it.
Hit the “Since 1987” tab. 3-1 count, 1.597 OPS. 3-2 count, .801 OPS.
First?

Emelie - July 26, 2008
How did the soup turn out?
We have fresh cucumbers right now so I might try making some soup.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
excellent
it’s creamy, rich, with a hint of cucumber and a dash of dill… yummy!
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Mmmm, sounds great.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
perfect for a summer Saturday afternoon with the Cubs on :-)

Hope it helped erase some of yesterday’s bitterness.

No command, 3-0
Ouch!

Let’s get some runs!!!!!!!!!!!!
sue369 - July 26, 2008

Hmmm. He’s been on fire, but very interesting move,

sue369 - July 26, 2008
I think my TV signal is time-shifted
the comments came in a couple seconds before I saw him hit the double.
chilango2 - July 26, 2008
Score!!!
Emelie - July 26, 2008
1-0!!!
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008

preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
nice slide
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
And a dangerous one too
I thought the catcher was gonna step on his hand after he touched homebase.
chilango2 - July 26, 2008
yea, held my breath when he went in for the plate
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
Hooray. timely hitting!!
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
lets keep it going

it always feels good to be playing from in front
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
Me too
Anybody out there know our record when we score first?
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008
From NorthsideBaseball:
CUBS are 41-14 when they score first in the game…. 19-29 when they don’t
CUBS are 23-6 when they score in the first inning…. 37-37 when they don’t
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008
Thanks!
That is an encouraging stat.
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008
Nice inning now let's hold em.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Yes!
strike early, get on the board, and HOLD THEM.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
harden
looked nasty after that LO walk
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
Maybe he has that Marmol gene

preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
better go get some more cookie dough
Emelie - July 26, 2008
haha, i hope i have too
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
Yep better get some
more made now.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
oh wait that was for hits not Ks lol
Emelie - July 26, 2008
how many
weight watchers points you think im gonna go through today? thats a prediction
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
probably safe..
if he keeps on walking guys 12 will be the max. but once again he looks great.
mkcubs21 - July 26, 2008
It must be killing a certain someone
to have sworn off BCB for a while when he could be rubbing Harden all up in our faces!
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008
No doubt
sue369 - July 26, 2008
no doubt
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Wow that's weird.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
a phantom Sue?
Emelie - July 26, 2008
I dunno...
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Dominick!!
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Wasn't that great to see?
sue369 - July 26, 2008
the little kid who got beaned by Lilly threw out first ball today
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Outstanding!
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008
Such a cute little guy too.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
very very adorable
Emelie - July 26, 2008
thats a good story, to see him back
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
darnit
A non-k out… :)
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008
K K K K K!!!
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008
5 K's!!!
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
jinx
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
5 Ks
Emelie - July 26, 2008
5 k's!!!
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
boy, he's throwing a lot of pitches
what’s the count?
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
35 through 2
CHCOWNTHECENTRAL - July 26, 2008
That's the problem with Ks...
Not only are they fascist, but they also drive up pitch counts.
That said – I’m not complaining! :)
Slim1256 - July 26, 2008
if he were pitching three or four pitch Ks
I’d be less worried. It’s the 8-10 pitch Ks that are difficult.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
boy.
hope he can get some efficient innings farther on.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
I would love to see some 1-2 pitch ground outs or fly outs
in the next few innings. All these Ks may take their toll. Harden is impressive. I can’t be picky when he is missing bats. The guy is darn good.
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
Harden = Impressive
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008
pitching is king
Emelie - July 26, 2008
haha
sue369 - July 26, 2008
OT: News flash... cat did not run off with any valuable possessions today
Emelie - July 26, 2008
no earring thefts today?
Did you ever find the one from the other day?
Slim1256 - July 26, 2008
not yet
other one’s gone until I move, I fear
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Yet..... ;-)
sue369 - July 26, 2008
lol
he’s asleep on my foot so I’m safe for the near term, although goodness knows what the other one is up to
Emelie - July 26, 2008
No doubt lulling you into a false sense of security
I’m always afraid my cat is planning something…
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008
zambrano
won the poll yesterday as the best cub as a bears prospect, where you think he would play?
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
Halfback
The guy is a tank and I’d like to see somebody stop him when he gets angry
CHCOWNTHECENTRAL - July 26, 2008
i was thinking he could replace hillenmeyer...
zambrano, urlacher and briggs, theresa a linebacking core!!
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
Go Go Geo Soto!!!
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008
oh so close, SOTO with a 2B
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
Geo DPs!!!
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Ohhhhhhhh so close.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
point
stupid question…but who do the Cubs point to after a hit? batting coach? anyone know?
Spydey - July 26, 2008
I thought they were pointing at the sky to thank God
Emelie - July 26, 2008
don't think so
it’s not up, it’s toward the dugout. who knows?
Spydey - July 26, 2008
just a "heyo"
to the team…
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
tx drew
figured that was it…
go cubs! more points! lol
Spydey - July 26, 2008
Dome safe at first
Emelie - July 26, 2008
SAFE!
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008
Kosuke safe on infield hit
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
more cookie dough!!!
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
awesome...
i like cubs hits, and cookie dough!! win win
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
hooray!!! Marlins stink today!
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Runners move up!
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008
runners advance, 2nd and 3rd!
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
homeplate ump takes a ball straight to the chin of face guard
hope he’s ok
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Hope the ump is OK.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
ump is fuzzy
going to the hosp with a slight concussion…..
I fell off the rough once and sustained one…..not a good thing
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
"Fell off the rough"???
Slim1256 - July 26, 2008
golf injury? lol
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
That's what it sounds like...
Seems like I can NEVER get off the rough – falling or otherwise.
Slim1256 - July 26, 2008
Looking at Game Day...
It says injury delay. Good think I’m watching, or I’d be freaking out right now thinking it might have been a Cub…
Sucks for the Blue, though…
Slim1256 - July 26, 2008
Everyone is getting
hit in the face. Both catchers AND the Ump? Geez. That ump doesn’t look like he knows where he is. Hopes he’s ok.
MrNFL - July 26, 2008
yeah, he looks very lost at the moment
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
Yes he does.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Hell, even fans
What’s up with this organization?
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008
How is what happened
today the organizations fault?
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Absolutely isn't
sanantonecub - July 26, 2008
he really looked dazed
how well do the masks protect these guys?
Emelie - July 26, 2008
being a former HS catcher-----not a lot
the impact of a 90 MPH ball either off a bat or from the hand is like taking punch….it protects from broken bones….
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
ouch that's not good at all
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Lets blame the maple bats
Reed's Johnson - July 26, 2008
any updates on the fan from Peoria game? havent read or seen anything since this morning
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
he's suing
Emelie - July 26, 2008
injuries? at first they didnt disclose of the details
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
(insert comment of shock and surprise here)
Slim1256 - July 26, 2008
I don't remember the details
it was a squib in Cubs Bits in the Trib. I’ll see if I can find it online
Emelie - July 26, 2008
yes, we can expect the Trib to give an unbiased account
when an employee chucks a ball at the opposing team’s dugout and misses and instead throws the ball in the stands and hits a fan.
We can expect the employer to have “news” about that.
I’m holding my breath. Check the Sun-Times. :-)
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
it was there, I read it this morning
a brief sentence, granted. Unfortunately, I threw out the paper already.
Also, Trib reporters aren’t too keen on management these days ;-)
Emelie - July 26, 2008
This is completely off topic but...
but Casey Blake got dealt to the Dodgers today for
mkcubs21 - July 26, 2008
a couple of minor leaguers..
i enjoy watching right before the trade deadline.
mkcubs21 - July 26, 2008
I saw that as well
brownbuddha - July 26, 2008
Really?
I have family who know Casey and Abby. She’s a huge Cub’s fan.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
this injury is not going to help the Marlins pitcher
brownbuddha - July 26, 2008
Surprised Brenly hasn't said yet
“that’s nothing compared to taking one on the big toe!”
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008

There, I said it. Flame
chilango2 - July 26, 2008
Wow...just wow
sue369 - July 26, 2008

Emelie - July 26, 2008
like to see how you handle a fastball to the face.....
JB 23 - July 26, 2008
I suggest
Ignoring this… you can’t win. No matter what, it’s what the troll wants…
Slim1256 - July 26, 2008
Now emelie this is the time for a squeeze play
There is one-out, the count is 1-1, and the pitcher and position players will be not as “On” where the pitcher will want to get a strike, can Harden lay one down.
Now this is the problem-—Soriano is up after Harden so he is run producer—-but my guess is if the count goes 2-1 Piniella might think about it.
Or the Cubs could go with a safety squeeze which is different than a suicide squeeze
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
not sure i like a sqeeze with Geo running tho..
just my two cents worth.
mkcubs21 - July 26, 2008
+1
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
matters little if it is a suicide squeeze
now with a safety squeeze that is different…..but still the defense has to be perfect…..I don’t like it with Soriano up next.
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
you can squeeze if you want
but if your friends don’t squeeze well, their no friends of mine. doin the safety squeeze
love the ivy - July 26, 2008
Better would be the song by the Who
In and out and in and out, my mother’s got a squeeze box, Daddy doesn’t sleep at night
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008

Pretty sure some of the ladies around here would...
LOVE a squeeze with Geo running…
:)
Slim1256 - July 26, 2008
LOL!!
sue369 - July 26, 2008
sign me up!
love the ivy - July 26, 2008
ooh yeah
Emelie - July 26, 2008
whats the diff between a saefty and a suicide squeeze
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
one is a steal and one waits til the bunt gets down
Reed's Johnson - July 26, 2008
in a safety, the runner won’t break for home till the bunt is down.
On a suicide… he’s coming as soon as the pitcher commits to home with the pitch.
Slim1256 - July 26, 2008
timing....suicide the runner breaks on the pitch like a steal of home
the batter has to put the bat on the ball…..
safety is the runner waits for the ball to be bunt and try to beat the throw….home
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
I don't think it was her who suggested it yesterday though
chilango2 - July 26, 2008
and why I put it out there
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
yes it was emelie
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008

got to pay for it

more than we'd like!?

whats imo?
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
In my opinion
sue369 - July 26, 2008
IMHO....meaning in all humidity....;>)) Soriano needs about a week to get his timing back
This was the same in May
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
True.

in my opinion

In My Opinion

Nice catch by Kosuke
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
he is a professional and i expect him to make that catch
especially being the starting all star CF’er
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
Can't we make general comments
without you making smarmy comments on them?
sue369 - July 26, 2008
well, look at their signature
that should say it all
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
I know but
the condescending attitude bugs me.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
i know
wish there werent like that too
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008

i'll take our line-up anyday, the fish are mostly hackers, not all around good hitters for most part
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
Ramirez is the only fish that truely scares me..
He can hit anything and for power it seems. Uggla is either gone or a K it seems.

Soriano with 0-2 Counts
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6154/situational
Reed's Johnson - July 26, 2008
I am amazed at how poorly Soriano
does in 3-1 and 3-2 counts. I understand it is a small sample size, but those are still poor #s, it seems.
Lack of patience…nah. That is not his strength and we know it. I guess he is always a guy who wins his battles early in the count.
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
?
Why would you mention small sample size, and then not look at all the data you do have? He has had exactly one at bat decided in a 3-1 count this year. “Small” doesnt even describe it.
Hit the “Since 1987” tab. 3-1 count, 1.597 OPS. 3-2 count, .801 OPS.
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
only 19 times - would have sworn it was more
Reed's Johnson - July 26, 2008
Selective perception
If you are looking for something it seems to occur more often that it really does
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008

mkcubs21 - July 26, 2008
I think he has connections. ;-)
sue369 - July 26, 2008
RAMI!
is my man crush!
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
we all feel better when ARam is swinging well.
I hope he can get hot for a good long while!!!
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
yes
but I’d have his baby. IT’S NOT A TUMAH!
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Rami's gotta break out of this funk
El Borto - July 26, 2008
lol lucky guess guys
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
HR followed by a BB
This is how pitchers fall apart…
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008
Or not
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008
I call an ARam homer every time he is up to bat
so far I’ve been right 18 times this year
CHCOWNTHECENTRAL - July 26, 2008
Preacherman
what you gotta say about DeRo
El Borto - July 26, 2008
sorry,
my quota is one prophecy a day
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
fair enough
way to make it count though!
El Borto - July 26, 2008
i did call
12 k’s and 1 er from harden at the beginning of the thread, lets see how that holds up
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
At this rate
the K prediction may be a bit low
El Borto - July 26, 2008
lets just hope his pitch count stays down!
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
Hey guys don't look now, but
I think our guys might be getting their groove back
CHCOWNTHECENTRAL - July 26, 2008
sure looks that way :D
Emelie - July 26, 2008
alright.
now. LET’S HOLD THEM
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
another K for Harden
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
Uggla...double
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
I don't care how ripped they may be
and most of the time they are anything but… shirtless men in stands is not a pretty sight
Emelie - July 26, 2008
OT: Lollapalooza lineup
Wilco, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Love and Rockets?
I’m sorry, is this 1994?
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008
it's gotten a little gray in the beard to be sure
still… Wilco rocks until the end of time
Emelie - July 26, 2008
I'd say
they alt-country until the end of time
chilango2 - July 26, 2008
still pretty cool for people
in their mid 20’s
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
nice lineup.
right up my alley. NIN and Rage? Hot diggity.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
The schedule stinks though
Wilco and Rage play at the same time on different stages.
El Borto - July 26, 2008
I'm not a huge
Wilco fan.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
those are the two headliner I was interested in seeing
the fact that they play at the same time kept me from shellnig out for the tix
El Borto - July 26, 2008
8 K's
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
8 K's for Harden
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
I'm impressed
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
8 Ks!
what’s his pitchcount?
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
64
brownbuddha - July 26, 2008
got mine from mlb gameday
brownbuddha - July 26, 2008
and we're only in the 4th!
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
he'll be alright, get quicker outs as we go along
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
like 64....?
lost count
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
inning over
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
nice quick out, lets get some more!
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
+100
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
yes please
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Volstad - 55
brownbuddha - July 26, 2008
Hey John Baker
Thanks for helping keep Harden’s pitch count low!
Harden threw 13 pitches in that inning, with 2 Ks
El Borto - July 26, 2008
Harden will need a couple of more innings like that if Lou
wants him to go 7 today. Let’s hope so!
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
Soto pops out
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
Volstad is throwing a lot of breaking pitches
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
he's all over the place on Dome
El Borto - July 26, 2008
He's been wild....the home plate umpire can attest to that
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
Fuku takes a walk
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
Nice job by Fuku
to get behind and be patient enough to take the walk
CHCOWNTHECENTRAL - July 26, 2008
ball 4 to Kosuke
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
Dome walks
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Dome takes one of his trademarked walks
Emelie - July 26, 2008
DOME
is a walk machine!
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Now let us see if Harden can put one down and get Fuku over
maybe he might contribute getting another ump out of the game?
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
needs some spring training on the art of bunting
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
harden is one of those pitchers
who make me excited to watch pitching…not many pitchers make me feel good when we dont have our bats up
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
Next time Rich
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Dome needs to steal
brownbuddha - July 26, 2008
time for Fonzie to hit a HR
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
Well
welcome to he NL Rich, We’ll work on bat handling in the spring
El Borto - July 26, 2008
Yeah, that wasn't good at all
Reverend Jim Ignatowski - July 26, 2008
Fonzie hits a HR here and it wouldn't matter
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
For those RED HEADED Murton fans
batting .125 with 29 AB’s…...
Ivy Walls - July 26, 2008
and gallager gave up 5 er
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
4 of them un-earned
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
but he was impressive in first two starts, against Yanks and Angels
maddux1-27-07 - July 26, 2008
5 runs, 1 earned, no decision
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
oops my bad
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
Soriano fans on a breaking pitch..
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
nevermind
El Borto - July 26, 2008
I'm glad volstad is distracted by Dome
El Borto - July 26, 2008
Soriano is distracted by those pitches in the dirt
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
man
Sori has not yet got his groove back…
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
It's gonna be a little while
He’s had a few hits but nothing of consequence. I suspect by next week he’ll be better.
Not Bruce Froemming - July 26, 2008
I have a feeling that is why they brought him back when they did
Get his “guess” hacks in ASAP, so he is locking in come the Brewers series. I hope so at least.
louslovechild - July 26, 2008
sounds good to me
sue369 - July 26, 2008
whens the new thread go up?
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
9 pitches 3Ks
one can hope right?
El Borto - July 26, 2008
I'll take 5 pitches 3 grounders and move on. :-)
LAcarl519 - July 26, 2008
I don't care about the Ks
just keep his count down.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Overflow
is up
Emelie - July 26, 2008
9 K's
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
K K K K K K K K K!!!
