4/13 Cubs (Zambrano) v.s. Reds (Milton) 1:20 WGNTV and Radio

[C.C.]

Damn it. This looks like one of those days where the Cubs decide not to score runs for their Cy Young contender. (see: Prior, Mark: 2003 and Zambrano, Carlos: 2005)

 

It's only the third inning? I still stand by my prediction that the Cubs score 6 today.

Can someone tell me this: what is the point of having fast guys that can steal bases if you're going to sacrifice them over?

 

You stole my post. I was just going to say, if you're going to bunt him over, take a couple pitches and see if the fast, basestealing specialist can steal 2nd before you do it.

[moorecg]

So we sacrafice with our best average hitter (to date this year) so that the all time worst offensive player in the history of baseball could get a chance to drive Pagan in....yeah...that makes sense.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Nief! saved us there......

 

he hit it hard. chill.

 

naaa. I've had the week of all doomed things, perhaps its coming out, but I'm just trying to have a little fun with this game..

 

 

no harm done

 

:lol:

 

Sorry to hear that. Nothing like a Cubs win to take the edge off. :wink:

 

that would be wonderful

ask Dusty. he's a major league manager, so he obviously knows more than we do. :roll:

 

Are you WATCHING the game?

 

:roll:

 

Are any of you who are assuming Dusty called the sacrifice watching the game?

[da bears]

I hate walks to crappy hitters.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ross walked

[Andy]

Good play by Z.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Milton bunted into a FC, 1-6, Ross out at second

Worst offensive player ever is an overstatement. Worst offensive starting position player, probably, but I think Macias was probably worse, and I'm sure some others can be found.

he is the worst offensive player that has gotten that many opportunities to be putrid.

I was posting while you said that. I'm watching on MLV.TV and Brenly said it looked like cedeno did it on his own. Sorry i had to post it 3 times but everyone keeps posting that dusty called a sacrifice.

Here comes the collapse. Z balks, then plunks Freel.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Milton awarded second base on a balk

[Blueheart05]

Come on Z, get it together now!

[YearofDaCubs]

I love Z. Only he would plunk a hitter after a balk.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Freel hit by pitch

I was just going from that list that everyone was talking about the other day...I think it was cited in the Sports Guy's column...something like that...maybe on baseball prospectus...either way...it had Neifi as the worst active player and 3rd on the list for worst all time...mayb there was a "starting position player" qualification....either way...you never bunt somone over to rely on neifi to get them in.

[badger1679666666]

Brenly talking about "clogging" bases. It's contagious.

That's pretty much what I was saying.

[Andy]

Ump now squeezing Z. I love how they start baiting him at any sign of a collapse.

[sweetpeteman]

great time for a meltdown, Z...
