Overflow Thread 3: Cubs vs. Braves, Wednesday 8/13, 12:10 CT

Yelloncard_tiny by Al on in Game Threads

FYI: This will serve as the between-games thread, too. I'll post the "first pitch" thread -- which you'd normally see as the pregame thread with the pitcher boxes, etc. -- shortly before gametime for game two.

Quick inning for Samardzija...

if he can have another quick inning, there’s no reason he couldn’t still be in line to start Sunday.

by SouthernCub on Aug 13, 2008 2:49 PM CDT   0 recs

lieber as a starter?

but to do that, we’d have to put ward on the dl

or dfa howry

You mean as a starter on Sunday?

Or in general? Cuz I think Lieber will come up when the roster expands.

Something tells me...

...Lou doesn’t trust Lieber as a starter. I’d expect to see Marshall given first dibs. Starting Samardzija is a worrisome move…

I would guess Marshall as well...

and yes, I would be surprised if Lieber got the call before September.

Wow - only 10 hits for da Cubs today?

I’m not complaining, just surprised – with 8 runs, etc.

by drewishdrewid on Aug 13, 2008 2:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well

Then you’re watching the wrong game. I would guess that by today’s standards, more than 90% of all players jog to first on routine ground balls, jog to first or routine fly balls, jog to first on singles to the OF and generally loaf around the bases with regularity. With no fear of being demoted, that’s just the way it is. Nothing you can do about it.

Who needs a stinkin' tag line? What are they for anyway?

Not today but if

doesn this when a game is on the line he should get his ass kicked by Lou

Vine Line asked some

Send in Reed Johnson to pinch run.
