08/10 CUBS (Prior) @ Milwaukee (Davis) 1:05 CDT, WGN-TV

[Mizzou]

Ready for the double play?

[PrimeTime]

Ready for a strike out

[illiniguy]

nice ab phil.

[Bruno7481]

who didn't see that coming?

[cheapseats]

Thierot seems to have a good approach at the plate.

 

Patient and waits for his pitch. Clearly not Chicago Cubs material. :wink:

 

Yep. His minor league numbers show that his OBP isn't closely tied to his batting average, and in some years he has walked more than he has struck out.

[PrimeTime]

OMG he swung at a ball that was over his head...what a freaking bum...

Nevin struck out swinging

[CubColtPacer]

This is one situation where both that attempt of a double steal and a walk have actually not been all that great for the team because it took the bat out of Ramirez hands..let's hope Jones can do something.

[Bruno7481]

just wow, you have to at least get 1 run in with the bases loaded, 1 out and your 4-5 hitters up.

Brewers announcers said the same thing.

[Soriano12]

Nevin is such a freakin bum.

 

All he cares about is trying to hit a HR.

 

Murton should move to 1st until D. Lee gets back and put Pagan in LF every

day.

 

scew Nevin, another dumpster dive move by Hendry

[Laura]

nice work, boys!

[illiniguy]

Maybe Murton should be playing for Jones today.

freakin Nevin and Jockstrap....GARBAGE!

[cheapseats]

Maybe Murton should be playing for Jones today.

 

Or Pagan.

Oh well a nosedive probably gets rid of Dusty.

[JonnyRed]

Pathetic....

 

that our 4 and 5 hitters can't even make contact with the baseball

 

that our multiple Cy-Young-winner-in-waiting is either a injured and/or mental wasteland right now.

 

My only joy as a Cubs fan right now is seeing our young pitchers develop. The rest is a big pile of steaming dung...

You can't refer to the walk as having taken the bat out of his hand. What about if a guy singles, steals 2nd and 3rd, and still doesn't score. Just because he didn't score doesn't mean it was bad to single, steal, steal. You take a walk if the pitcher is giving it to you because otherwise you're just swinging at bad balls.

That's isolationist and defeatist. If you are satisfied with a nosedive, then you're clearly not a true Cubs fan. :twisted:

[Bruno7481]

Fro watching the game today, the only offspeed pitch Prior can get anywhere close to a strike is his 84-86 mph changeup.

 

Not going to win any games with just that and a 91-92 mph fastball.

I like to think about how the best two years of talent we have had in my lifetime was blown, by the most incompetent twit you can find for a manager.
