It's an hour and a half into this game. I'm hoping Ryan Dempster is still pitching (and pitching well).

Four unearned runs.
Thus, I’d say he’s pitching pretty well.

Pat on the Radio is saying all 5 unearned
Wasn’t one of them a HR???

Doesn't matter.
If there’s an error during an inning, and then the 2nd out is registered, it’s assumed the inning is over. You could score ten runs after that and they’d all be unearned.

Gotcha...
Maybe I misheard him, i’m listening on the internet and its going in and out. How did Pie’s catch look?

No, he definitely just said again all 5 unearned
by GoCubbies34 on May 5, 2008 7:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Then he's wrong, because the boxscore shows 1 earned run.

I've seen it both ways
mlb.com saying one earned run, stats.com which i have open for a fantasy league, is saying all 5 runs unearned.
by circuitclout on May 5, 2008 8:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess you have to assume the first error would have been a DP
For all 5 unearned
by GoCubbies34 on May 5, 2008 8:27 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
you know, I think I'm starting to sour on the whole earned vs unearned distinction
it’s not often I agree with something Brenly says but he said “hey, they all count”. Sure if there’s no error, you get out of the inning that much faster, but if the pitcher still gives up tons of hits after that error, I’d say he’s not a very good pitcher.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
by ballhawk on May 5, 2008 7:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Point taken, but...
... it’s a way of measuring how many runs are due strictly to the pitching. If the inning should have been over after an error, then how can you say “he gives up tons of hits so he’s not a very good pitcher”?

'cause he isn't bearing down, he lets it get into his head, he must be throwing meatballs up there, etc.
I agree of the need to distinguish from a statistical perspective, but a good pitcher should be able to get the next guy out (or pretty soon thereafter), regardless of what happened on the previous play.

The announcers are also kind of
hinting towards this, but Soto, and his bat, literally came out of nowhere last year. Honestly, take a look at his minor league history before 2007. I, for one, am kind of surprised that there haven’t been any rumblings of him and a steroid/HGH allegation. I’m happy obviously, but surprised.
There was a poster who also talked about this right before the Mitchell Report was released, but I forget his/her name.

Re: brenneman is garbage
So the Cubs magic number has been 3 (as in it seems they can’t score more than 3 runs) and their last 7 losses have been by 3 runs or less…so not quite sure that watching the rest of this game is a great use of time. We can bemoan the pitching and defense all we want, but the offense has been putrid during this stretch.
By the way, on the Reds broadcast even though the replay clearly showed Lee’s foot stayed on the bag Brenneman refuses to acknowledge it was a bad call.

Dero is not hitting very far from his lifetime batting average of .277.
I sometimes think that people expect too much from him.

I for one don't think that he should be an everyday player
He will excel as a super sub, an utility player if used as such.

He does need to go back to basics: up the middle, opposite field, etc.

Frankly we should've gotten Roberts...this team needs a lead off hitter WORSE
than ANY OTHER team in the majors.
by VolPowers on May 5, 2008 8:30 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Is that the...
.266/.352/.435 Brian Roberts you speak of?
The price we would have paid for Ryan Theriot numbers was a little steep.

Agreed.
But knowing this team, Soriano would still be leading off.

Agreed on DeRosa
Looks like another 3 run offensive performance. The only silver lining is that I hope Pinella goes off on this team. 19 runs in one game – who cares. You then score 3 runs or less in 4 or next five games. I mean a lineup that has Fontenot, Pie, Pitcher and Soriano batting consecutively is in my opinion a terrible, terrible lineup. Not to mention Fontenot has been utterly abysmal in the field this year at 2B – at least Pie makes a nice catch every now and then.
That said, the Cubs have ripped a few balls tonight that have been caught and the first inning for the Reds was obviously a real joke. That’s how it goes during bad streaks. I think the problem now with getting Brian Roberts is we can’t afford to give up Sean Marshall anymore, sad to say.

Wood is literally 1/2 of what he use to be.
Honestly, take a look at him. If he turned sideways, You can’t see him anymore.

DeRo
at some point has to go the other way. It’s obvious the book on him is he tries to pull everything. He always swings and misses on that slider on the outside corner.

DeRosa, Fontenot, and Theriot...
These three are similar players in many ways. I think Lou needs to start Cedeno at SS, and pick one of these guys to be the regular 2nd baseman and stick with that lineup.
