2009-03-07 Cubs (Zambrano) at Brewers (Suppan): 2:05pm CST [Brewers win, 2-0]

I don't think Macha was ejected, but if he was it's because he was out arguing with the home plate umpire on the check swing strike by Duffy.

[Invader3K]

Upon rewind on my DVR, Macha was audibly cursing at the ump, who swore back at him, then ejected him.

 

Edit: Sorry, he was in fact, not ejected.

I like Rickie's new look.

 

That said, it does have quite a bit of Royce Clayton to it.

[Spidey]

Without hearing/seeing the game, I think I like the fact that Macha is getting a little "firey" here in spring training. If the ump is that bad, and Macha wants quality at bats for someone like Duffy, yeah give him a piece of your mind. I like it.

[Invader3K]

Yeah, even the WGN guys were basically ripping the ump for calling that check by Duffy a strike.

[GormanHarvey]

Narveson looks pretty good

I don't know why and I don't care whatsoever, but I am always shocked the first time I actually see these prospects after hearing about them for years. I remember thinking Yo was going to be a huge guy with his bug fastball and now for some reason, I am surprised to see that Lorenzo Cain is African American. For some reason I always thought he was a skinny little white guy.

[Invader3K]

Really like hearing Selig's comments during this game, even if he isn't saying anything new or earth shattering.

[razzzorsharp]

I still think Selig is the best commish out of the four major sports.

[hawing]

Is it my imagination, or is Corey getting kind of a mullet look?

It's called off-season conditioning. Tip to the mullet power.

You need to peruse the Brewerfan player profiles. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Not too shabby for Swindle eh? 3 pitches, 3 outs. Two outs vs. righties.

[Never Outhustled]

Every Lo Cain scouting report calls him smooth, and it doesn't take long to see why. He is Mike Cameron smooth, with what might be a better approach at the plate. He is an extremely exciting prospect, with no discernible warts.

[southpaw121505]

agreed, very excited about Cain and hope he takes over for Cam next year and maybe even leads off eventually if not right away
