4-5 Cubs (Rusch) v. Reds (Arroyo) 11:35 CT ESPN

[AI]

Sorry TT, that was a crappy job of holding the runner by Cedeno.

[Blueheart05]

Bone head move my Ronny.

 

Don't blame Cedeno. Freel shouldn't have been at third in the first place.

 

Of course this probably means Neifi starts on Friday.

 

That was on Ronny. You have to pickup your teammates.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Cedeno definitely could have looked him back a bit longer, but why was Barrett not in position to block the plate? Especially after making a bad throw to allow the runner to advance to 3b in the first place.

 

Because Lee's throw was well short of the plate.

Weathers in to pitch for Cincinnati

Jones grounded out to first, 3-1

[Fro]

Jockstrap is due to do something productive.

[Blueheart05]

Jones grounds out to 1B.

[C.C.]

If we can't score 2 off of Weathers we got problems!

[BigbadB]

hooray for benching freel on my fantasy team

 

Gotcha beat. I cut him after he didn't play Monday and I read he wasn't going to be a starter.

 

 

Bow down, for I am soapy, lord of the idiots.

 

Nah, lord of the idiots is the Reds manager, who is starting Womack over Freel. Thank you, may I have another.

[Chris]

Quick out

[Blueheart05]

If we can't score 2 off of Weathers we got problems!

 

Weathers isn't that bad.

What more do you want him to do? The replay showed Freel wasn't more than a couple steps away from the base, and had to move back to get there. Ronny's throw was a bullet too.

What?!

[Banedon]

Well we need a baserunner for Murton, and since Jones probably won't do it, we need Barrett to make up for his throw.

[ToupeeOnFire]

That was badly played all around. Cedeno had plenty of time to look him back to make sure he stayed, Barrett should have done a better job of blocking the plate, and, frankly, that throw from Lee could have been better.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett flied out to left center field

[Blueheart05]

Barrett with a long flyout

[soccer10k]

we do need somebody on base so murton can tie the game.

[Chris]

Ugh

What?!

 

Barrett played the short hop, and he was in front of the plate on the first base line.

It all starts with Ronny not holding him at 3B!

[soccer10k]

so much for that.

[C.C.]

I hate to say it but these past two games have been really sloppy. We look like last years club all over again.

[sethuel1]

Gah.
