5/9 Cubs (Hill) @ San Fran. (Schmidt) 9:15 WGN/INHD/XM189

Seriously...I don't see the point of this. Couldn't Eyre have started this inning?!

 

nah, dusty likes walking out there and doing his double switch. it's his trademark.

 

I really don't think Dusty understands that he can bring in another pitcher without double switching.

[CubfaninCA]

game's over anyway. would have been nice to see the kid go 7.

[abuck1220]

now hill can go from giving up 3 er to 5. nothing like sending a guy out there for the fourth time through the order when he's thrown more pitches than he ever has in the bigs.

[Chris]

Should've put in The Riot

 

He can't handle the pressure situation like this. I mean...he might cost us a game!

 

Agreed. Besides, it makes much more sense to call him up to ride the pine.

Niekro homered to right field, Vizquel scored

[Banedon]

8 in a row folks.

[Flames24Rulz]

DAGGER.

Freakin' Eyre!

 

 

This team sucks!

[XZero771679666304]

I LOVE IT.

[CubfaninCA]

oooooooooo my.

 

if eyre gives up a leadoff homer, baker catches hell for pulling hill.

i certainly would have liked to see him go seven. and i may have been ok w/ it if it was matheny/vizcaino/pitcher, but not against the top of the order.

 

and hill gives up five runs.

[Outshined_One]

I'm hoping for a bloodbath when this team gets back to Chicago.

 

This team is clueless.

[Flames24Rulz]

8 in a row folks.

 

How there hasn't been a change yet is absolutely beyond me.

[CubinNY]

Will the last person in this thread please turn out the lights on the way out?

[UMFan83]

Whats our outscored tally over the last how many games?

[Chris]

No way Eyre gives up back-to-back

[badger1679666666]

DAGGER.

 

I thought the second run was the dagger.

[CubfaninCA]

so hill keeps the 9+ career era intact?

if he's going to hit 714, this would be the time to do it.

[dalgreen]

Great, now we have Jones batting instead of Murton. Good Move Dusty.

 

Fire Dusty. Fire Jones. Fire Neifi.

 

tommorrow.

 

This crapola of a team needs some overhauling.

 

I no longer understand the criticism of Perez and Jones and Pierre. These guys were not stellar players immediately before their arrival to the Cubs so why would we think they'd be better? I understand criticizing good players who are playing subpar like Ramirez, Walker (of late) and Zambrano, but why criticize sucky players? If anything, Hendry should get severe criticism for signing these guys. What percent of people on here were in favor or re-signing Perez and signing Pierre and Jones? If I remember correctly, it was low.

[Banedon]

oooooooooo my.

He should've been pulled sooner. Let Eyre come in with the bases clear. No reason to tag extra runs on the kid.

not really. that's long gone in any other stadium.

Anyone who would have given Baker hell for pulling Hill would have been stupid. Hill was pretty good in this outing and all, but against the top of the order the fourth time through while getting behind in the count a bit too often, putting Eyre in from the get-go would have been justified, no matter the result.
