Not when you look at who's behind them.

[obcubs]

I cant view the game right now. Quick scouting report on Guzman, what's he throwing? how fast?

[muntjack]

Murton special!

[rocket]

murton does what pierre tries to do in all his at bats. except murton succeeds.

[BeerHere]

MUUUUUUUUUURT!

[E.J.]

Murton with a hard shot there to lead off the inning with a single. :D

A lot of breaking stuff.

 

Nice job Murton...didn't he get a lot of those infield hits last year?

[ToupeeOnFire]

Aramis has a good approach, he's just off. I'm still optimistic he'll break out of it. It's just frustrating to watch him slump at a time we desperately need him. His OBP is still higher than Pierre's.

He has hit 97 on the fastball.

Like red lightnin'.

[BeerHere]

Did Murton bunt?

[erik316wttn]

Hey, look. Hustle! He didn't learn that from Dusty.

 

But Barrett wipes him out with the DP.

[ChiCubsFan]

Are you kidding me?!?

[sweetpeteman]

Duke is having control problems, we need to be patient.

 

 

Dang it Barrett.

[rocket]

Did Murton bunt?

 

He hit a rinky dink grounder but beat it out.

[badger1679666666]

I'm getting close to not being able to watch this offensive disaster anymore.

[erik316wttn]

Well, after Jones strikes out Guzman gets to go back out there.

[USSoccer]

Ugh, that pitch was begging to be crushed

 

He's trying to jerk every single pitch out to LF. He needs to settle down and just make contact, and he'll be fine.

[E.J.]

Our offense is horrible.

[rocket]
