On pace for 68-94.
Were your feelings hurt?Quote:

Fun little pre-game thing, there was a group of women on the field, all former players from the women's league in the 40's and 50's, probably about twenty of them. As they introduced each, they showed a photo of each of them in their playing day. They're in town for some sort of event. Two of the players did the first pitch and it went well. I loved it.
It's funny but the ones who get nailed at home are usually the guys who are hurt or are catchers. If someone like Scooter was running it's probably a good decision.Quote:

Cozart, while not being the fastest runner presently, was running fine, except there was a slight hitch after he rounded third (didn't look like hurting, but just something that seemed to be a change in his stride. The play was bang-bang, perfect relay and perfect throw to the plate and Baez got the tag in just right ahead of Zack getting his hand on the plate. Sure you'd love to have that run and, in the end, we didn't need it, but I think even in his present condition, I'd send him. They required and absolutely perfectly executed play to get him out and the Cubs did that. Kudos to them. Glad we didn't need the run.
I agree that it was bang, bang and that Baez not only put a perfect and strong throw to home plate, his pivot was incredibly quick. He was lightning fast taking the ball from LF and throwing it to the C. So again, a perfectly executed play resulted in Cozart getting thrown out in a photo finish. If a perfect defense throws him out then he should NOT have been sent 'cause:Quote:

I was listening to the game in my car. As I heard the play develop I was thinking "they'd better not send Cozart unless he can make it easily". So I really didn't want them to send him. But when I heard he was being sent I thought "he'd better make it or else it's still another screw up for a team full of them recently."
