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

[ToupeeOnFire]

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

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

 

it was dumb. Soriano is fast enough to 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.

 

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.

 

none of those guys have gotten a hit today.

 

give me a break.

 

freel threw home and it was cut off because soriano was standing on 3rd.

 

Give me a break, they should have forced the action when runs are scare. Force them to make a good throw. Quade sent Theriot is a similar situation in MIL (the CF had the ball and if it hadn't been for a great slide he was out).

You have your 3-4-5 hitters due up with nobody out. Why risk making an out at the plate?

 

Oh yeah, this is the Chicago Cubs, should have sent him.

Wonderful offensive performance by the Cubs today.

[RichHillIsABeast]

SIT WILL OHMAN DOWN NOW.

 

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY KEEP HIM OUT OF THIS GAME.

 

:lol:

[KingCubsFan]

Ohman is warming up...looks like Lou is conceding this one

[Sarcastic]

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

 

You're a terrible fan if that's the case.

 

And yours, too.

 

Wow. Just wow.

 

Boy, that takes me back. To the days when I read Cubs.com...

 

doesn't it feel like we're getting alot of those types lately?

 

Yeah. How do most people find this place anyway? Perhaps somebody posted a link to NSBB on cubs.com recently. That would explain the influx of trolls. Or it could just be a beginning of the season kind of a thing.

Quinn looks like the typical frat guy guy with a weave on his head that wears popped collars and khakis

[Chris]

FWIW, holding Soriano at 3rd was the right play with nobody out IMHO

[cubweiser03]

Thank god. It looks like Lohse might be done for the day.

They should convert Wuertz into a starting pitcher just so we could see his awesomeness more than 1 or 2 innings a game.
