The Cubs, whose 29-40 record puts them on pace to finish with fewer than 70 victories, continue climbing to reach the .500 mark. But the manager Mike Quade think the goal now is to better focus on consistent play, baseball clean.
''It's the oldest thing in baseball, to "get back to .500.''He said. But''we took only three out of four of a very good team [the Milwaukee Brewers], and we did as we had good baseball. We took advantage of some of our mistakes, only to play baseball well every day. See what happens hitting-wise, and do not let go four outs in the inning.''
While the offense to improve with the help of global warming, said Quade pitching and defense are the keys.''We expect [weather] conditions improve, and some of the guys hitting out of the park see, we're going to need to see that,''he said. But''I think our pitchers can handle that part, too. We need to play well or swing the bat or pitching or defense. You want to play well. The guys relax and play. There are some things we did helped us win games, not just scoring runs. Just run more consistently in all aspects of the game''
Pitchers HittingQuade was questioned and Yankees manager Joe Girardi on their views on the designated hitter, is missing when American League teams play in National League parks.I am a guy of the National League,''dúirt''Quade. I enjoyed''Boston [when the Cubs played the Red Sox]. But I'm not a DH guy.''Quade noted that the development of AL HR managers to focus more on performance pitcher without worrying about him out for a hitter. But do you use your aon''DH bench,''he said.
Girardi, who played in leagues and managed the Florida Marlins before the Yankees as the leagues are divided on the DH.''I enjoyed [playing and management] in two,''he said. ''You should be more careful with your bullpen in the National League because you can run fast.''
Santo ideas
Girardi was among the many mourners at the wake of Ron Santo in December. His memories of a touch of depression on the series on weekends.My memories of''Ron Santo Pizza started as a little boy to come [when Santo pizzas sold in the park], then as a broadcaster when I was a player,''Girardi said. BP''And then call me in the winter in the northwest and go to dinner with [the wife of Santo] and VickiRon and my wife and in-laws. I mean, he was my friend, and he pulled me and has always been there for me. I miss it.''
Sick but strong
The parade of mourning Cubs players spent the disabled list, but new on the DL is still far Yankees 13 was set aside. The Yankees are tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers Minnesota Twins for the biggest players on the DL, with 10 currently on the board.Shortstop Derek Jeter is the more remarkable because he is always looking for six short 3000 hits. Jeter has a history of at-bat against the Cubs, he hit the grand slam but his life on that date in 2005 for closer Joe Borowski Cubs at Yankee Stadium.
