5/10 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Giants (Cain) 9:15 CSNC TV/XM 189

I am going to guess sac bunt

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno stole second base

[badger1679666666]

Cain (with the 6+ ERA) will only throw 8 pitches in the first. Book it.

 

Well.... he just wasted half of them on Cedeno, no?

 

Reverse Psychology dude.

 

:roll:

 

 

:wink:

I am going to guess sac bunt

 

Because one run is all we need!

 

Cedeno steals!

 

GO COBS!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre sacrificed to the pitcher, 1-3, Cedeno to third

[Master Shake]

:shock: :shock: :shock:

 

Did I just see some excellent execution?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

IT'S THE BLOODY FIRST INNING DUSTY AND HE WAS ALREADY AT SECOND BASE

Whatever gets the job done, man !! :wink:

[Jon]

So Pierre just conceded that he wasn't going to actually get a basehit?

[badger1679666666]

Well we all know Pierre was going to make an out, so Saccing him makes sense.

[Omar]

Walker grounds to SS... Cedeno scores.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker grounded out to short, 6-3, Cedeno scored

[Master Shake]

EARLY LEAD! WOO HOO!

[stitchface]

So Pierre just conceded that he wasn't going to actually get a basehit?

 

his standard 4-3 would have done the same thing.

[Drew Doughty]

Yeah, this pisses me off when we do this. And what pisses me off more, is when people don't realize how bad of a play this is. Joe Morgan actually said, "and he was sac'd into position to SET UP THE HOME RUN." That doesn't even make sense.

 

Come on Walk, drive him in.

[cheapseats]

So Pierre just conceded that he wasn't going to actually get a basehit?

 

his standard 4-3 would have done the same thing.

 

And there would have been a chance (however small) that Pierre would actually get a hit and save an out.

 

But anyway, we SCORED!

 

SMALL BALLS RULES!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-1 when they score in the first inning.... 6-17 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[goonys evil twin]

Well we all know Pierre was going to make an out, so Saccing him makes sense.

 

No it doesn't. Trying to hit a ground ball to the right side (his specialty) makes sense. At least that way there is a chance it'll turn into a hit.

[Drew Doughty]

Well, I spoke too late.

 

Sportsline has Restovich listed on the bench.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pulling the ball requires bat speed. Pierre ain't got it.

thank god i dont have to listen to Morgan tonight

[badger1679666666]

Wait did Dusty call that, or did Pierre do it? Either way who cares? You guys actually think Pierre was going to get a hit?

 

Sure he MIGHT have gotten a hit. But I might have won a million dollars in the lottery.

You beat me to that joke.

he is still pretty amazing at grounding out to second though.
