PrintPittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs, May 16, 2008 1:20 PM CDT
While the rest of baseball merrily traipses into interleague play this weekend, the Cubs are going to be playing the Pirates... again. Someone in MLB's offices needs to take whoever is programming the scheduling computers, lock the doors, look them right in the eye and say, "What are you THINKING?" This isn't the worst example of scheduling so far this year, but it's among them. I'm not talking about the Cubs not playing interleague this weekend -- every time there's interleague play, there has to be a NL series since there are 16 NL and only 14 AL teams, and this weekend the Cubs are nominated -- but why on Earth would you schedule one team to play another 12 times in its first 50 games (yes, 50, because we play them again next weekend in Pittsburgh!). And after that, it's bye-bye Pirates till August.
That said, this is a good time for the Cubs to take advantage, since they are already 6-0 vs. the Pirates this year.
Thought this would amuse you: I got the YouTube link below from BCB reader RN24 -- it's a guy in his backyard imitating batting stances from current and past Cubs. He's got 'em nailed.

For all you Edmonds-haters out there, the Pirates are starting three lefthanders this weekend, so it's likely that Reed Johnson will get the start in CF all three games (or, at least, that would make sense). The Cubs have already faced Gorzelanny twice this year and beat the heck out of him both times, scoring seven runs in less than three innings both on April 7 in Pittsburgh and on April 19 at Wrigley Field. In fact, Gorzelanny's ERA against everyone except the Cubs is 2.73.
Let's beat up on him again. After that he can go back to pitching well against other teams.
I thought Sean Gallagher threw well on short notice last Sunday; he did get charged with four earned runs in 4.1 IP, but two of those scored after he left the game, courtesy of Chad Fox. He has faced the Pirates only once, 1.1 innings of relief last July 6 in Pittsburgh; in that game, which the Cubs lost 8-4 mostly due to bad pitching by Jason Marquis, Gallagher issued a couple of walks and a double and would have gotten out of it unscored-upon if not for an error by Mike Fontenot.
And Sean? Do yourself a favor. Get another photo take. That one is scary!
Today's game is on WGN-TV, so it should be available to most of you -- unless you don't have WGN OR Extra Innings, since EI doesn't carry WGN telecasts. For more see the MLB.com Mediacenter.

Wow, early game thread.
That guy does have the batting stances down pretty well! Also, Gallagher’s smile and beard are freakishly symmetrical in that photo.

Speaking of high school
Gorzelanny went to Marist High School in Chicago on the South Side and more than likely grew up a Sox fan (that area is like Bridgeport South). I say just another reason to stick to ‘em. Although I’m hesitant to expect a sweep as I’m pretty sure the Pirates are playing some pretty good ball right now. Then again, so are we!

Prediction
I predicted an 8-2 homestand before the first AZ game. So taking 2 out of 3 from the Pirates would make that true. However, After going 6-0 against them, it just seems like the Cubs should be able to sweep them at will. I know that’s ridiculous, but anything less than 2 wins would be very deflating.
Interesting to note that outside of their games against the Cubs, the Pirates are 20-15 this year. That’s pretty dang good for them. Lately they’ve swept the Giants, taken 3 of 4 from the Braves and 2 of 3 in St. Louis. Considering all that, I’d be pretty pleased with 2 of 3.
"I'm petrified of nipple chafing. Once it starts, it's a vicious circle." Andy Bernard
They’ve won 8 of 10 as I recall… so they are hot right now. I’d be happy with 2 of 3.

Ward?
Do we know his status? Did he go to the DL? Did someone get called up?
It doesn't seem like a formal announcement has been made.
But it still looks fairly certain that Ward will go to the 15-day DL and Hoffpauier will be called up.

Stab in the dark
Maybe because they’re facing lefty starters all weekend, so there will be more lefty Cub hitters on the bench in late innings. Getting Hoffpauir here isn’t as crucial then, and a few more days for him to play everyday in AAA would serve him well, still coming off his own injury?
"Is there anything he can't do?" ~Len Kasper, 4/5/08, on Kosuke Fukudome
Makes sense
Good point. I’m actually somewhat excited to see Hoffpauir up. He’s been raking this past week in AAA.

Great video! Laughed several times.
I brought me back to my kid days doing exactly the same thing in my backyard or at the ball field with a whole different generation of players: Banks (wiggle those fingers!), Beckert, Williams, Santo, Kessinger (from BOTH sides of the plate) and other greats from the 60s- Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Stargell, Kaline and one of my personal favorites- Dick McAuliffe. Was there ever a more open stance than his????
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE! (#13031 on the Cubs season ticket waiting list...)
Tony Batista had a very open stance
I recall McAuliffe, but don’t remember his stance, so I cannot compare the two.
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
Here's a link with photos
but the batting photo doesn’t show his initial stance very well. Dick literally faced the pitcher (his belt buckle would point directly to the mound) and he held his hands and bat up over his shoulder.
http://www.108mag.com/uploads/PDFs/McAuliffeSum07.pdf

Video Is Okay
I think those guys are Red Sox fans. That was the original. Derrek Lee extends his back before he gets set. Sammy Sosa was too out of control, Sammy was much more compact and had less movement. A Moises Alou shot of him striking out would have been funny, just like Wednesday? when he got kicked out of the game.
by MerigoldBowling on May 16, 2008 9:48 AM CDT reply actions
Agreed on D-Lee
Can’t believe he missed the little back bend he does.
That video is OUTSTANDING....
With the exception, that guy NAILED each past and present member of the Cubs. His Dunston, Dawson, Matthews and Morelandare priceless.
This video should go down in the annals of Cub history. And somebody should send it to the networks. If I have to deal through that shit of Manny being Manny on ESPN, then America can deal with the batting stances of Cub players !!!!!!
Mr. Towers, tear down this wall (er, I mean give us back Greg Maddux) !
Moises
I liked his Alou imitation, he did have them down pretty well. It looked like a mix between Alou and Napolean Dynamite.
Let’s keep rolling
Lets do it Cubbies
The Moises swing sould have
had him checking his swing and then bitching at the umpire. Priceless.

The Fukudome stance is incorrect
Kosuke rests the bat on his shoulder until the pitcher is in his set position. Then he lifts the bat and does his little waggle as soon as the pitcher starts his delivery.
You can see it at the beginning of this video.
Sorry about the nitpick, but I just love his stance.
"I don't think anybody's paying attention to the Cubs." - Prince Fielder
Weak NL Central?
Not totally game related, but I was just looking at the standings and it looks as though the Central is no longer “weak.” Outside of the Central division, only two teams have winning records against the Central. These teams happen to be the Marlins and the Phillies. And Florida just recently swept the Brewers, so before that, they were two games under .500 in that column. If you look at how teams in the East and Central have done against the NL West, it’s pretty obvious which division is the weakest.
I know a lot can change over the course of a season, but as of right now, the NL Central and the AL East (no surprise here) may be the toughest and most competitive divisions in their respective leagues.
Strong NL Central
The Astros and Cardinals have been much better than expected. Despite the injury to Gallardo, I still think the Brewers will contend for a playoff spot in the end. The Cubs have even been a little bit better than I thought. The Reds and Pirates seem to the be the weak sisters of the division. 4 good teams out of 6 is a sign of a strong division.
Schedules
Al, let’s not forget the GREATEST travesty in the schedule this year. The NL Central is playing the AL East, and somehow the Cubs don’t play EITHER the Yankees OR the Red Sox?
Seriously?
Bud Selig should fire the schedule makers for that ALONE. Honestly….does baseball NOT want to make money? The three biggest fanbases in baseball, and you don’t schedule them against each other?
I’m sorry – that’s just plain unforgiveable. (And no offense to the Orioles, Rays, or Blue Jays, but casual fans would MUCH rather see Cubs-Yankees or Cubs-Red Sox in ANY of their hallowed ballparks.)
I wasn't surprised at no Yankees...
... because the Cubs have already played them twice. But this will make THREE Toronto series (2003, 2005, 2008) with no series at Fenway. That’s just plain wrong.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
Do you suppose
it’s because the schedulers/MLB figure they can make more money by spreading the big name teams over multiple ballparks? Will the Cubs/BoSox/Yankees sell out no matter where they go? Likely…or at least close. If they play each other that severely limits the potential of selling more tickets at a lighter drawing park.
"ROUS's? Rodents of Unusual Size. Don't worry, they don't exist."

Goo point. The Cubs will sellout
regardless of where they go. It would be great to have them at Fenway, but my guess is that the league would much prefer to have them at Toronto or Tampa.

AL East
As an East Coaster I’m disappointed that while the Cubs are playing the AL East they are not playing the Yankees or Red Sox, and that the Orioles game in at Wrigley. I’m about 15 minutes from Yankee Stadium, and I have a friend that lives next door to Camden Yards. It’d also make some sense from a marketing point of view to have the Cubs play the Yanks in Yankee Sadium’s final year. Alas.

The Cubs, Red Sox and Yankees
sell out wherever they go—no need to combined them to “make money” as you put it.
It would make more sense, from a pure financial aspect, to have the Yankees playing in Pittsburgh. Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium will sell out no matter who is playing.

OT: MLB to investigate maple bats
I’m very happy to hear that Selig’s talking about investigating the safety of those blasted maple bats. Every game has a cringe inducing moment when they go sailing across the field or into the stands. Impalement and baseball do not go together. Here’s hoping that they act on this one fast.

Can I just take a minute to ask

Sure it is a feel good story and no I don’t have numbers to back up this statement but…
he does not appear to be a good answer to any questions about relief pitching.
Am I alone on this?
Calm down.
No, I have been wondering
the same thing. Don’t we have any alternative to him at Iowa?

"Anything under 5 pitches is a bad at-bat."
Interesting comment from Jaysons Starks chat on ESPN
Billy (Chicago, IL): Can someone say something about Carlos Marmol? He’s a freak of nature. 10 hits in 26 innings with 35 Ks.
SportsNation Jayson Stark: (1:32 PM ET ) Devastating stuff. You know, I’m glad you brought that up. I thought Lou Piniella took an unfair hit for taking Zambrano out of Game 1 last October and bringing in Marmol. I’m not sure how many people had noticed that Marmol had been way more unhittable last year than Zambrano was. But this season proves this guy is for real, isn’t it. I remember being at Wrigley last year when somebody asked Ryan Dempster if he was mentoring Marmol on how to be a closer. He said, “I think HE’S memtoring ME.”
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
Oh crap.
QUOTE OF THE DAY. ROFL
The kid is unreal. Show of hands that thinks he’s the next Cubs closer?

Awesome video
When we were kids we used to play a game called Fastball. We’d pitch a tennis ball and hit it toward the school across the street. The sidewalk was a single, first floor a double, second floor a triple, third floor a home run. We’d imitate the stances (lefty and righty) of the Cubs and White Sox (I grew up in Hyde Park) of the time.
Where was the Jerome Walton stance?
The stream was buffering slow so I stopped it before it finished…. but you can’t do Cubs stances without at least one Jerome Walton. Right? Pretty unforgettable…hell I was 6 when he was a rookie and I remember it. lol
