[Butterscup1679666578]

Time for a Z HR!!!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Let Z swing!

[UMFan83]

Z!!!!!!!!!

[jjgman21]

this where he pulls a back muscle, out for the season?

 

I don't think I would mind to avoid the abuse from here on out.

[Jazz]

if Z hits a homer here im sending him a senior frog shirt.

[Andy]

Please hit a game winning homer, Z.

[cheapseats]

To the 14th.

 

Tonight is reminding me of this game.

 

Z is pinch hitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jjgman21]

didn't mind the ump at all til the last 6 batters or so.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Z loves this.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Why not let Guz bunt Izturis over for Ramirez?

[ToupeeOnFire]

If the Cubs take the lead here, I wonder if Dusty will leave Z in to pitch?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Why not let Guz bunt Izturis over for Ramirez?

[Jazz]

darn, buzzkil

[cheapseats]

Why not let Guz bunt Izturis over for Ramirez?

 

It would lower the chance of scoring a run this inning.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Why not let Guz bunt Izturis over for Ramirez?

 

It would lower the chance of scoring a run this inning.

 

Agreed.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Why not let Guz bunt Izturis over for Ramirez?

 

It would lower the chance of scoring a run this inning.

 

Compared to letting Z hit?

[texascub]

Z actually almost beat that out; for a big guy he can really move!

[Fred Hornkohl]

[UMFan83]

Damn

 

 

I have to be clocked in at 9am tomorrow but I already agreed to drink all night if Zambrano hit a HR there.

[Jazz]

i feel a demp thrown meatball that lands in the seats coming up.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS

[jjgman21]

Why not let Guz bunt Izturis over for Ramirez?

 

It would lower the chance of scoring a run this inning.

 

Agreed.

 

doesn't use a pitcher to bunt a guy to second with one out, but uses a guy with three hits on the night to bunt a guy to second with no outs.

 

oh magical 8 ball, what should I do next?

[texascub]

Damn

 

 

I have to be clocked in at 9am tomorrow but I already agreed to drink all night if Zambrano hit a HR there.

 

Just because you have to be clocked in doesn't mean you have to work :wink:

[CubColtPacer]

Why not let Guz bunt Izturis over for Ramirez?

 

It would lower the chance of scoring a run this inning.

 

Compared to letting Z hit?

 

Exactly-with 2 good hitters, it should lower the chance-when you get a player who hits less than .200 and is also a prime double play candidate if he puts it in play on the ground, that should change the odds.

[UMFan83]

i feel a demp thrown meatball that lands in the seats coming up.

 

I feel a 1-2-3 inning now that its not a save sit.

 

 

Whoops nevermind
