4/15 Cubs (Williams) vs Pirates (Duke) 6:05 WGN

[cubweiser03]

theyre going to get to this guy.

 

any reasons to back that up?

 

Im going to take this back. They need to do it NOW.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Murton's walk is wasted because he's batting at the back of the line-up. Get it through your thick skull Dusty and move the kid up.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I would send Ronny. The catcher is only 2 for 9 throwing people out and a PH might lead off the 6th if he fails.

 

Interesting thought, but Williams is only at 71 pitches, I'd think he's got more than one inning left in him

yep, plus our pen has been worked pretty good so it's important that Williams can go as long as possible tonight.

[cubweiser03]

duke's getting close to 100 pitches, thank God.

 

ooh thats good.

[Omar]

And Bynum is out in right.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

BB was right. Bynum in RF.

[MPrior]

Duke will probably go at least into the seventh at this rate. This is not good.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Why would they stay away from Mabry?

[Omar]

Good play by Cedeno. 1 down.

[Outshined_One]

Why would they stay away from Mabry?

 

Still sore from yesterday's collision.

[Jon]

Why would they stay away from Mabry?

Stiff neck from the collision last night.

[Andy]

Len apparently completely oblivious to the fact that Hairston can play RF in reeling off all possible solutions to the substitution dilemma. Even mentions Walker in right but not Jerry.

[Omar]

I would've put Walker at second (with the lack of offense tonight) and Hairston in RF.

[Flames24Rulz]

I would've put Walker at second (with the lack of offense tonight) and Hairston in RF.

 

i'm pretty sure all of us would. I really don't understand why Baker didn't do this.

Bynums gotta play, dude.

[Omar]

Who is due up?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Who is due up?

 

top of the order

[Flames24Rulz]

Who is due up?

Pierre-Hairston-Lee

[Andy]

Top of the order due up in 6th

Speed kills! Hairston + Bynum is faster than Hairston + Walker, dude.

[Omar]

Just when we thought we'd see a 1-2-3, Bay Walks.

[Flames24Rulz]

2 out walk to Bay, he's reached all 3 times on 2 walks and a HBP.

[Vinestal]

what was wrong with the 3-1 pitch? looked right down the middle

[JGalt73]

Ronny's last in the league in pitches/PA...and without a walk. I'm not sure his eventual BA is going to carry him to a respectable OBP.
