Just to clarify for everyone...
I saw this once before. Because a manager does not have to pull a pitcher on his first visit, he can double-switch after talking to his pitcher IF he signals a double-switch to the HP ump before waving to the bullpen.

Here's what happened...
1. Lou went to the mound. Jason appeared to agree that he was done.
2. Lou turned to the HP ump to signal for a double-switch.
3. The ump acknowledged it.
4. Lou signaled to the bullpen.
5. Lou and the ump met half-way to record the changes.
6. Lou signaled to Edmonds to come out.

sounds right...
...but on the 2nd visit he needs to signal before crossing into the field of play, because the 2nd visit requires the manager to remove the pitcher.

Yup. Another reason there's no reason to worry if
this team trails in the early innings. They will score.

And we're doing it with only one regular hitting over .300...
and that guy only hits scrappy singles and plays below average defense at the most important defensive position on the field!
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

those BA numbers
are going to change, I think…
’’If somebody had told me we were going to lose Soriano for eight weeks, lose [Carlos] Zambrano and Kerry Wood for a couple of weeks apiece, and then at the same time lose [Reed] Johnson, and then when we played the American League not have a DH [then-injured Daryle Ward], and be in first place by two games, I’d tell you we were pretty fortunate.’’ Lou Piniella (7/23/08)

Yup. Soriano was briefly over .300 until his last AB.
Amazing, given his early season slump.

They don't matter, as long as our team OPS remains as high as it is.

True, but they have good starting pitching and a lights out bullpen

My question...
Is it that their offense doesn’t score a lot?
Or that their pitching gives up a lot?
by hmlee on Aug 6, 2008 4:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
My take is...their offense is middle of the road in the AL...
their pitching is quite solid. Just glancing at the Angles team page in baseball-reference.

My scorecard...
yes 1. Sori will have at least 1 XBH.

half 2. Jason will have a QS and at least 1 hit.

yes 3. DeRo will reach base at least twice.

half 4. The Cubs will make at least 2 great defensive plays.

no 5. Jim Edmonds will have at least 1 RBI.

yes 6. The Cubs will win.
Three plus 2 halves…
I’ll try to do better on Friday!
