5/12 Cubs (Guzman) vs. Padres (Williams) 1:20 CSN

[goonys evil twin]

y would you sac when the other team has already scored 2 runs in 3 innings? I hate the sac bunt and really hate it when the manager doesnt know how to use it.

 

Because if you haven't noticed we haven't been exactly scoring runs lately, so dusty has to try to get runs anyway you can. I have no problem with that play.

 

They haven't been scoring runs partly because Dusty makes it harder to score by giving up runs. They've been pulling this crap throughout the whole slump, it's not going to make things different.

 

Oh c'mon! You are blaming Dusty for the Cubs not scoring runs? I'm not the biggest Baker fan, but c'mon! We can't score runs because our guys can't get a hit when it counts.

 

READ THE FREAKING POST.

 

I said partly. Sac bunting hurts your chances. Repeatedly sac bunting is just going to reduce your run totals. It's no way to get out of a slump.

Did he? That's fantastic.

And said it with his "I was a manager who wouldn't have done that" tone and laugh. Quality

There goes Glendon's scoreless inning streak out of the pen.

But when the manager keeps giving the other team outs, it lessens our chances of scoring, does it not?

Come on, IF??? This is Fat Glen we're talking about.

I'd rather not see Glendon streak out of the pen.

Did he? That's fantastic.

 

Well Giles is a 3 hitter and Cedeno isn't. Big differnce there.

 

lol...so dusty is either dumb for:

 

1) Batting Cedeno 3rd or

2) sacrificing with his #3 batter

 

Take your pick.

[CubfaninCA]

wtf pi@zza 3-3

 

there goes rusch's scoreless streak. :D

[TruffleShuffle]

I'm not the biggest Baker fan, but c'mon! We can't score runs because our guys can't get a hit when it counts.

 

Yeah that's probably the reason, rather than the 4th worst team OBP in the major leagues.

who do you bat 3rd? Walker been in a slump for 10 days...

[badger1679666666]

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! A sacrifice from our #3 hitter. Dusty is a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Let's face it he's not a 3 hitter but we don't have one and you need to get runs anyway you can. Espically with the wind blowing in.

 

Let's face it sac bunting is the dumbest move ever, unless it's the end of a game.

 

If you let Cedeno hit, and he gets a hit, Perez goes to 3rd and scores on Aram's fly ball (you can get a run on an out or a hit)

 

If you sacrfice, you HAVE to get a hit.

 

Saccing is STUPID.

 

Yeah but no matter what you need to get a hit. Either from Cedeno or ARAm.

 

Dude, it's been mathetmatically proven that saccing lowers your chance of scoring runs.

Mabry hit by pitch

Murton, Ramirez, Barrett...those 3 would've been acceptable choices.

 

Cedeno

Pierre

Ramirez

Mabry

Hairston

Yup blame me rather than the 320 lb guy who throws junk

[C.C.]

I'm not the biggest Baker fan, but c'mon! We can't score runs because our guys can't get a hit when it counts.

 

Yeah that's probably the reason, rather than the 4th worst team OBP in the major leagues.

 

I see Dusty fault because we can't get on base. When does the fault land on the players?

[goonys evil twin]

Dude, it's been mathetmatically proven that saccing lowers your chance of scoring runs.

 

But has it been baseballatically proven? I don't think so. Keep your facts to yourself please. This is a no-thinking zone.

You mean the players that Dusty requested?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton grounded into a DP, 6-4-3, Mabry out at second

You see if Murton bunted Marby over we would have a guy in scoring position and 1 out... :lol:

 

Face guys no matter what Dusty does will be wrong. This offense is terrible.

Some lies on the players, a lot on Hendry, some on the hitting coach, a little on Baker. Every one of those things I mentioned above - they all suck.

And who employ the same swing early swing often be aggressive walks are for women approach that Dusty preaches.

 

No, Dusty has nothing to do with the bad offense.
