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

Why is Eyre warming after a double switch?

[BeerHere]

Come on JP not a good time for a groundout to second. Need you to get on base without an out being recorded.

[Coach C]

At least they didn't put JoBo in ............................. he's money.

 

Williamson does almost look like JoBo, just a skinnier one.

[LoneStarCubFan]

And Mabry singles to start the inning. Which he could have done as a PH.

 

I don't have a problem with Dusty playing Jock and I don't complain when he's in the line-up.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Every time I watch Dusty use another useless double switch I come that much closer to wanting to see the DH in the National League.

 

Pitcher's spot up right now. Double switch totally not useless.

 

It is when you are pretty much guaranteed to go around the order again if you are going to win the game. Leave Jones in there, pinch hit with Mabry, then make the decision on whether or not to leave Mabry in the field, or to put him somewhere else depending on how far we get in the lineup. There was no reason for Dusty to put Mabry in the game that soon.

Because Dusty's an idiot. I said earlier Howry would only finish that inning.

Exactly.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Alright here we go!

[Chocolate Milk]

Yay.

[Coach C]

Hmm 2 men on base now.

 

Let's cash this oppiturnity, plz.

[Blueheart05]

Howry's been giving up too many hits lately.

 

Most outfielders would have caught the ball to RF which would have made the out to Pierre the 3rd in the inning.

 

But a run would have score on the first flyout either way

 

That's the not so bad considering the bases were loaded when he came into the game. Williamson is to blame.

 

I don't think that either pitcher did a good job.

 

You're expecting a lot with the bases loaded. Howry gets more fly ball outs anyway.

 

That ball should have been caught and no more than one run should have scored.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierrre walked, Mabry to second

[Andy]

Tying run to the plate with Cedeno-Walker-Ramirez-Murt coming up :)

[BeerHere]

*puts on the rally cap*

[swordsman]

YEAH!!!

 

Good eye JP!

 

Come on Ronnie!

 

WOO HOO!!!

 

LET'S GO CUBS!!!

LET'S GO CUBS!!!

LET'S GO CUBS!!!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Did Pierre just get on base? :shock:

[BeerHere]

Is that former Iowa manager Rick Kranitz?

[Jon]

Did Dick Pole just nod and agree on that one? How is that not pointed out?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

This dude looks like Alf 2.0

[ToupeeOnFire]

Be patient!

He gets paid a lot of money. So for me to say he did a good job, he needed to come in and get a ground ball or a strike out. He didn't necessarily do bad...but he didn't do good either.

[Coach C]

Be paitent Cub hitters. German wasn't close to the strike zone as of lately.

 

Take walks.

 

Generous strike there ump!
