4/26 Marlins (Olsen) @ Cubs (Guzman) 1:20 PM WGN TV

[Balsa]

Barrett is unavailable and Mabry will be the last bat off the bench since he's the emergency catcher. Letting Guzman bat here is the right move whether he's being taken out or not.

 

Ah, that's it. But not use Restovich? *shrug*

[Chris]

Ron doesn't like the mascara or the lipstick FWIW

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Blanco popped out (foul) to the catcher

 

On a 3-0 count no less. Who in the heck told him he had a green light to swing???

 

It was 3-1.

[Beligol]

Don't tell me that Dusty is going to let Guzman hit and then put in Novoa.

 

Ok I won't tell you. :lol:

[goonys evil twin]

would not be the first time.

Limited bench options this early in the game!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco popped out (foul) to the catcher

 

On a 3-0 count no less. Who in the heck told him he had a green light to swing???

 

I think it was actually 3-1.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre hit by pitch

[E.J.]

I hate when Dusty does that. Why let the pitcher hit if you're going to take him out before the start of the inning.

 

short bench

 

At least wait until I edit my post before you quote me. :D

[KatJ]

I think it's safe to say that Gooz was rattled in his first start against a weak hitting club. His defense saved him twice.

 

Angel is hitting for himself?????

 

Dusty taking a page from his apprentice manager, Jerry "press your luck" Hairston, Jr. :x

Not with 1 out in the 5th. And if Blanco did reach, Guzman would have tried to lay one down.

 

Save the bats for when it counts.

[Balsa]

Stolen base time.

Good point but he has Restovich and Neifi as well.

 

Pierre gets hit.

[Chocolate Milk]

Put it in the seats Ronny!!!

[Chris]

Takes one for the team!

understandable, but Restovich is struggling big time.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

that'll help the OBP!!!

[erik316wttn]

Pierre cut down stealing. Good throw.

[Chris]

ugh

[Butterscup1679666578]

Don't suck Novoa.

[E.J.]

Pierre gets on base for what seems like the first time in a year and then gets thrown out stealing 2nd on the very next pitch. :x

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Unlucky, fastball that rode high made it almost like a pitchout.

[goonys evil twin]

Can stats capture that caught stealing?

[louisvillecub]

Pierre cut down stealing. Good throw.

 

Darn cold weather...
