4/10 Astros (Sampson) @ Cubs (Marquis) 1:20CT CSN / XM185

How does marquis get an assist...he made a crappy throw he should split the error with izturis

[Magnetic Curses]

JJones vs RHP last year:

 

396ab 120h 21hr 59rbi 33bb 83k .303avg .358obp .528slg .886ops

 

MMurton vs RHP last year:

 

319ab 94h 7hr 43rbi 27bb .295avg .356obp .426slg .782ops.

 

Food for thought..

 

I'm well aware that Jones had a good year last year, at least against RHP. That's why we should have traded him in the off-season. I'm more than happy to put Murton's .350 OBP in the 2 hole against RHP or LHP.

 

Please stop with the Murton man crushes! I like the guy too but goodness, he'll get his chance. It's not like has been killing the ball or getting on base any other way. It's game 8.

 

exactly the reason he should be playing.

 

No it isn't. Murton isn't a lock in the lineup but he will get plenty of at bats.

 

the reason he may not look great is that it's game 8, which is my point. give him time means give him some plate appearances.

 

so far, it looks like floyd is going to get most of them.

 

Why does it look like Floyd is going to get most of them? They have each started the same number of games even though they have only faced 1 left-hander. That suggests Murton will get more starts, not Floyd.

 

the trend appears to be floyd playing more and murton playing less.

 

The trend? It's gone Murton/Floyd/Murton/Floyd/Murton/Murton/Floyd/Floyd. That's not much of a trend just to have two Floyd's in a row after two Murton's in a row.

 

murton hasn't played much in the last 3 games after being inexplicably lifted in favor of theriot after jones came into play right against milwaukee.

 

can we just drop this now? i don't feel like arguing with you for the better part of the game. personally, i don't have the attention span.

[Tracer Bullet]

Please stop with the "he'll get his chance" talk! Unless you have the inside info from Lou that says Murton is going to get 500 ABs this year, how do you really know that?

 

Man I hate when people tell others what they can and can't post.

 

Hypocritical in your own post.

 

You missed the point. You conveniently cut out his post, which I was quoting, to show just how dumb it is to tell people what they can't post.

 

I didn't miss the point at all. He told you what you should or shouldn't post, and you then proceeded to tell him what he should or shouldn't post. You then followed it with a statement that basically says you hate when people tell others how they should or shouldn't post. Guilty of your own complaint.

 

I'm tired of the Murton playing time posts, but they aren't going to go away, no matter how much anyone protests. Skip them if you are not a fan of such posts.

 

No, I think you missed the point. I used the framework of his post ("stop the X posts!") to make fun of it. I wasn't seriously telling him what to post. I wouldn't actually tell someone not to post about a topic and then say I hate when people do that. I'm not an idiot.

 

And I don't know if your last paragraph is directed at me, but I'm not protesting the Murton playing time posts. I'm hoping Lou stops by, sees a lot of people complain about Murton's lack of playing time, and permanently puts him in LF and the 2-hole. :lol:

Jones grounds out to first

 

1 down

[BigSlick]

Damnit Jones, do something with your bat.

[E.J.]

I see Jones is taking Pierre's spot as the automatic ground out.

[BigbadB]

I really despise 2-0 ground outs on what would normally be ball 3.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

can someone explain what happend with the last three batters?

 

1st batter, Low throw by izturis to dlee

2nd batter, marquis lobs it to 2nd, Izturis can't handle it

3rd batter, double play

4th batter, ground out to short stop

 

Thanks Brian I couldnt wrap my noodle around the TWO errors. and gameday is slow

[BigSlick]

Twice he's been in hitters counts as well.

 

Its bizarre how he can't do anything with these pitches at all.

 

D. Lee singles. 8-)

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

I see Jones is taking Pierre's spot as the automatic ground out.

 

who do you think taught him how to hit at the top of the order and also taught him how to throw

Jones sucks this season. Good thing he's batting second.

[Brian]

DLEE base hit to center

 

Lee's hit streak continues.

[Andy]

I wonder if Derrek and Aramis know what they've signed up for for the next four years together (five for Aramis).

[RichHillIsABeast]

Yay, Lee.

[Magnetic Curses]

I'm sensing a Lou "Heart to Heart" after this game...

 

and it won't make a difference because you can't yell someone into not making fielding errors.

 

True. But if I have to watch sucky baseball then I'd prefer a few Lou blowups just for the entertainment value. I hope he doesn't keep that stuff in the locker room.

 

i don't think he'll yell at izturis like he yelled at dempster.

 

demspter is a goofball.

[Soul]

At least Lee still refuses to suck.

[BigSlick]

Can we get at least 1 this inning!

 

Of course not.

[Tracer Bullet]

Can we get at least 1 this inning!

 

Of course not.

 

I'll take a base runner getting past second. Small steps.

[Magnetic Curses]

Damnit Jones, do something with your bat.

 

he's getting into hitter's counts like he knows the next pitch will be fat and he's making up his mind early to swing. 2-1 is still a hitter's count.

[BigbadB]

No, I think you missed the point. I used the framework of his post ("stop the X posts!") to make fun of it. I wasn't seriously telling him what to post. I wouldn't actually tell someone not to post about a topic and then say I hate when people do that. I'm not an idiot.

My last paragraph was a generalization, picked up from about page 3 of this thread where I told someone else that it is somewhat pointless to complain about the "play Murton" posts, because, inevitably, they are going to happen.

[Vinestal]

Can we get at least 1 this inning!

 

Of course not.

Im not holding my breath either lol

[seanimal]

Gotta love the trademark mlb.com gameday "freeze".

 

I've just stopped using it altogether

[BigSlick]

Got under it. :x

[Brian]

quick question, Is my PBP helpful or wanted. I don't mind it, just don't want to do it if nobody needs it.

 

 

Aramis flies out

 

2 down.
