BrandoFan Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 The last 3-4 years, this guy has been a living proof that OBP while very nice isn't everthing - walks don't drive in runs. Hits an oppositte field gap 2-run jack off Farnsworth to tie the game at 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSF Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Cubs got a 5-4 lead in the top of the 11th (and also left the bags full), but with 2 outs and the tying run on 3rd, Vlad just lined a single to tie it up. 5-5 to the 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Best OF in the majors, hands down - Guillen, Anderson, and Vlad. And Raul Mondesi as a backup. However - ours could be just as good, if Beltran becomes a White Sox. But like Hawk says: "Don't tell me how much you hit, tell me when you hit it."

He missed a walk-off 3-run shot off Hawkins as well. If the pitch is 93 mph instead of 95, that ball is a double/HR instead of a towering FO.

Flash Tizzle Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Over dramatized catch (at the warning track) by Hollandsworth sends this game into the 13th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSF Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hate to give pub to a Cub player, but Hollandsworth just made a nice grab to rob Kotchman of extra bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hate to give pub to a Cub player, but Hollandsworth just made a nice grab to rob Kotchman of extra bases. I thought it was a nice catch, he went into the wall actually pretty hard. Good play IMHO. Also, RECKLESS REX HUDLER!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it was a nice grab, but I agree with Flash. Chip Caray is treating it like Willie Mays vs the Indians in '54. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 And Raul Mondesi as a backup Mondesi is hurt, but still one hell of an outfield. I'm regreting dropping Anderson in fantasy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree they made it seem like it was more than it was, but it was still a very good grab by Hollandsworth, one which their normal RF would have probably played off the wall.

Flash Tizzle Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 First base umpire makes a GREAT call at 1B to end the 13th for the Cubs. If they lose, this will be their excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandoFan Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 I think it's pretty pathetic that Vlad wasn't given a (2-run) error on a routine pop-fly in the 7th. There is such a low standard for fielding it's not even funny. A fielder can lose the ball in the lights with bases loaded and not get an error because, you see, fielding is.just.so.damn.hard....... I'd love to see a batter strike out (or a pitcher give up a HR on a mistake pitch or a baserunner get caught stealing, etc) and then asking the official scorer not to count the AB because he lost the ball in the background or was simply too late to react....... :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is IMPOSIBLE when the ball is in the right spot, and all the fielder can do is hope that it falls in his glove because you cannot see it. It is simply imposible, and shouldn't be an error. If a pitcher makes a mistake, it's not because he couldn't see the catcher, and when a batter strikes out, it's not because he couldn't see the ball.

Flash Tizzle Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Again, Angels choke against a scrub Cub reliever. Cubs unfortantely understand the concept of clutch hitting. Cubs lead 6-5 bottom of the 15th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandoFan Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 When is the last time you fielded a mile high fly out with the sun in your eyes? When was the last time a point flew right over your head and you made a stupid reply? I mean, not counting the above. You think it's easier to hit a 95 fastball or throw a 2-0 breaking ball than it is to f***NIG CATCH A f***ING POP UP OR GET A GOOD READ ON A SOFT LINER THAT SEEMINGLY HANGS FOREVER???!! Moron.
