Abuck,

 

Get ready to be pissed.

[stitchface]

and neifi fails in the one situation where he is actually potentially useful,

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco has driven in 2 of 12 baserunners this year (0.167)

 

Go CUBS !!

CUBS          2 0 0 0 0 1 0 0      3 7 1 

[Sarcastic]

Just when Neifi's patented weak grouder would have actually helped...

[ToupeeOnFire]

MORE BUNTING!!! YES!

 

:roll:

 

Why must we do this.

 

FWIW, while that bunt will decrease the odds of scoring more than one run this inning, it will increase the chances of scoring one run.

 

With Neifi and Blanco coming up, that might be the right move.

 

Of course, Dusty was calling for the bunt when Jones was at first, which was the wrong move.

The problem isn't the bunt, it's letting Neifi and Blanco hit behind him.

Go CUBS !!

 

He's Clutch. More than .100 points higher than his total average.

[CubinNY]

I would have pinch hit for Blanco there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-0 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[BigSlick]

HAHA so many bunts.

 

Even simple animals know that when you try to get some cheese and get shocked, you stop trying to get the cheese.

 

But goddarnit, variable rewards systems, like gambling, tend to grab people. So Dusty sees some good results from bunting , you know what he's gonna do? BUNT SOME MORE.

 

 

Of course spread over the course of a season its gonna have a very negative effect, but he wont worry about that.

[brinoch]

I love bunting so Perez and Blanco have a chance to drive in a run. So helpful....

 

Zero outs and a man on second with Jerry, Neifi and Henry coming to the plate. Or one out, a man on third, and Neifi and Henry coming to the plate?

 

I know... PH with Murton!

Written like a true behavior analyst. I am proud.

i'm curious to see what these "good results" are. It seems like whenever we bunt, that run never scores.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS

Cameron blooped a single to shallow center field

[Flames24Rulz]

1st and 3rd with no outs. Great.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Giles singled to right field, Cameron to third

Basically a successful sacrifice.

 

We've been so bad at bunting that just to move the runner over qualifies.

[Monco]

Time to worry

[Flames24Rulz]

thanks Dempster.

[cubweiser03]

wow.

[BigSlick]

thanks Dempster.

 

Firebombing time. :twisted:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Piazza homered to left field, Cameron & Giles scored

[Careless]

I think it's official: everything is going wrong

There are complicated inter-related contingencies operating. Not the least of which is the private verbal behavior one engages in with relation to the social contingencis in operation.

And the Cubs find a new and more hurtful way to blow a game.
