4/13 Reds (Harang) @ Cubs (Big Z!) 1:20 CSN / XM188

What was MB doing? Why wasn't he legging it out on that play?

 

Didn't know BP was going to bobble the ball; he wanted to avoid the tag-and-throw double play.

Thats what they were saying, but I think he was too far towards the mound for that to happen.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Good hustle, Ronny.

[Jazz]

another weird play. Should be out of the inning, but bad fielding keeps us alive

[bc2k]

Ron's making it sound like Barrett mistakenly held up to avoid being tagged out, only to see the ball come in on the SS side of the base.

 

Right, Bob said the same. I don't buy it though since the Reds 2B obviously wasn't in position to tag Barrett out; his only play was for a quick flip to the SS covering the 2b bag.

Ok, seriously, we need to get Cedeno off this team, Red's defensive blunders or not.

 

Guys. It's only a couple of at-bats.

[illiniguy]

Nice arm

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno stole second base

[BigSlick]

Wooo, Cedeno at second, that STILL DOESN'T MAKE UP FOR YOUR POOR HITTING

[soccer10k]

those of you on mlb.tv....did you have a problem logging in, or did it take you straight to the game no problem?

 

When I first logged in I got a quick ad but other than that, I got in no problem.

And a career in the minors...and last year...

[Roast]

Cubs are running wild today.

Probably right, but Barrett did what he did for a reason, whether it was the correct choice or not.

 

IIRC, Mabry helped the Cubs avoid a DP last year by doing the same thing.

I had a problem. It kept taking me to the premium upgrade page when I clicked on the non-premium link. Well, it worked, because I gave in and bought the upgrade.

[Sammy Sofa]

Why are people pissed at Barrett trying to avoid the tag? That's what these guys are taught to do.

Damn you Adam Dunn. I thought that was down.

Correct me if i'm wrong...but didnt he do really well in the minors? He was hitting .374 in AAA last year when they called him up IIRC

[RichHillIsABeast]

I want to punch Dunn in the mouth.

I'm not going to say this very often but Dunn made the best defensive play this inning.

[bc2k]

Cubs are running wild today.

 

And all 3 attempts have been successful and iirc, with 2 outs. I like Lou's philosophy of running on the battery of Harang and Valentin.

[illiniguy]

I want to punch Dunn in the mouth.

Good luck with that. But, can I watch?

You're over-reacting to every little single thing. It's one game of 162. It's a couple of AB's over the course of a season. Yes, it's annoying. But calling for his release is a pretty serious over-reaction, don't you think? He's a back-up SS/2B. It's not like he's starting.

Yes, but they all tell a story. Impatient hitter, dependent on average, he still hasn't looked like he's learned anything this year.

Well today he is starting.
