5/13 Padres (Young) @ Cubs (Maddux) 1:20 CSN/XM188

[cheapseats]

What else did you expect from Pierre?

 

4-3.

[Banedon]

Win or not, I'm infuriated about this lineup.

 

Its like Dusty Baker ran headfirst into a brick wall, picked himself up, and did it again.

 

Why does he continue to field a batting order that he knows is ineffective? He switched in Cedeno at lead off in our first win in like 8 games....and then switched him to 3rd in the batting order?!

 

He's bumped down Murton (arguably our most effective hitter this season) further and further down the lineup and the last 2 games has benched him. I don't even know why thats going on.

 

He has this idea in his head that having Blanco and Perez in will help Maddux defensively, but i think the loss in run production more than outweighs whatever minimal gain in defense.

 

I hate this man.

 

Murton played yesterday.

 

Off the bench.

 

No...he started...he was 2-4 and scored twice.

Maddux and Pierre have the same RBI total.

 

[irrelevant]They also have the same number of World Series Rings.[/irrelevant]

It just shows you how pathetic Pierre has been for us.

[JC]

Pierre is Fred's favorite player. He can just cut an paste the results of his ABs much of the time.

[CubinNY]

What else did you expect from Pierre?

 

Ground out to the second baseman. Or bunt attempt pop out to the third baseman. Definately not a walk.

:lol:

[sigh]

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barfield grounded an IF single to second

Len needs to try polarized lenses before getting on Castilla for wearing the shades. I think they help clear things up on hazey, overcast days. Perhaps Vinny receives the same benefit.

 

I had a pair of these and would wear them driving no matter if it was hazy or sunny because they do clear things up A LOT...not that its important

[JC]

Neifi is a moron. Does he ever process who the hell is at bat before he fields a ball?

[cheapseats]

Neifi fields the ball, throws to first, NOT in time, does not adjust groin area.

[YearofDaCubs]

Young, is a big dude. He looks like he's 6'6.

[Banedon]

I'm really glad we've found a way to get 3 2nd basemen in the game at the same time.

[YearofDaCubs]

Young, is a big dude. He looks like he's 6'6.

Damn, he's 6'10.

[Careless]

Chris young lumbers.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Young sacrificed to the pitcher, 1-4, Barfield to second

[JC]

Neifi fields the ball, throws to first, NOT in time, does not adjust groin area.

 

Well, make no mistake. He adjusted someone's groin.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 5-11 when the opponent executes a sac bunt.... 10-9 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Roberts grounded out to short, 6-3, Barfield to third

[Banedon]

CUBS are 5-11 when the opponent executes a sac bunt.... 10-9 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

How about when the Cubs execute a sac bunt? Just curious.

[cheapseats]

I'd ask for the Cubs record in games in which they don't execute a sac bunt, but I'm sure there aren't any.

[YearofDaCubs]

Cedeno has a lot of range at SS.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-5 when they execute a sac bunt.... 9-15 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[cheapseats]

Why do they always show the guy who sells foam claws and blankets at least once per home broadcast?

[CubinNY]

CUBS are 5-11 when the opponent executes a sac bunt.... 10-9 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Fred, Your work is amazing. One of these days one of those states will correlate to something.
