4/15 Cubs (Lilly) vs. Reds (Lohse) 1:20 CT WGN / XM188

why didn't Quade send Soriano on Riot's single??

 

he would have been out by 20 feet, and he couldn't see into the future to know that jones and lee were going to choke.

A better question would be why was Jacque batting third. He is a terrible, terrible hitter.

bring up Pie.

 

How about just playing Murton? game thread though

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wuertz in to pitch for the CUBS

Cause we had no outs and 3,4,5 coming up.

 

it was dumb. Soriano is fast enough to score

He would have been out by 20 feet. The ball was hit too hard.

 

No he would't have. The Reds were conceeding the run, Freel didn't even throw to the plate. The Reds announcers said the same thing; they were surprised he didn't score.

The rule of thumb that 3rd base coaches uses is this: If the ball gets to the OFer (in this case the CFer) before the runner even gets to third you hold the runner up. In this case Soriano was a good 3 steps away from 3rd when the ball got to Freel. Holding Soriano up there was the good call.

[Sarcastic]

This has been said, but Jesus, they couldn't score once with men on the corners and the middle of the order at bat? All they had to do was hit the ball on the ground and Jacques couldn't even do that.

Guess I'll need to start rooting for Jacque's hammy to tear....

exactly. he shouldn't be any higher than 7th.

[Chris]

Did Lilly hit anything after that half inning? He should have.

That would be a good start followed by putting JJ way down in the order where he should be.

Jockstrap still should not be hitting 3rd.

You show me a team Jacque Jones is batting third on and I will show you a team that picks in the first five of the draft the next year.

Freel had the ball by the time Soriano made it to third. If the throw home was close, Soriano is out by at least 10 feet.

 

Freel was conceeding the run--trying to keep Theriot at 1B by throwing into 2B.

[Chris]

We win

[Jazz]

this game isn't over, so quit acting like chicken littles.

Yeah, I don't think you can fault Quade for not wanting to risk a baserunner on third with nobody out and the best hitters in the lineup at bat.

2 down

Soriano would've been meat at the plate. Freel didn't throw it home because Theriot would've probably tried to take 2nd on the throw.
