Inning over. I hate this

[Jazz]

damnt, a little more pop on that swing and i woulda predicted that.

[soccer10k]

making the first out at home with no outs and the heart of the order coming up in a 1-0 game is about as stupid as it gets.

 

Agreed. No reason to send Soriano there.

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).

 

Force a good throw with the 3-4-5 hitters and no outs? That's Wavin' Wendel style right there.

[rickrolled]

what a [expletive] joke

[UMFan83]

Should have sent Soriano to test Freels arm

[Sarcastic]

At least Lohse probably won't pitch the 9th.

whatever...you're just mad b/c the cubs didn't score. you weren't saying crap about it until it looked like the cubs weren't going to score.

That's not true. I said it at the time. My post didn't come after the inning was over. As soon as Theriot hit the ball, I thought Soriano would tie the game.

 

There's no guarantee he would have been out. There is also nothing wrong with forcing them to make perfect throws.

They need some Cialis in the Cub bats

[illiniguy]

Nah it will be David Weathers who cuts through our offense like a a knife through hot butter.

[Flames24Rulz]

Won't matter. You can send some single A bum against us and he'd retire us on 5 pitches.

Seconded

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS

[PrimeTime]

I cant wait to see Lou's post game talk..

[cubweiser03]

weathers sucks. hes good at pitches away so this is his ump.\

The Cubs are about to lose 4 of their first 6 games at home to start the season. (Pretty sure if it wasn't for the postponed third game against the Stros, the Cubs would have been swept) Doesn't that just make you feel all tingling after what the Cubs did in the offseason.

 

The Cubs players needs to "man up" and stop playing like first yr t-ballers.

[Flames24Rulz]

weathers sucks. hes good at pitches away so this is his ump.\

 

Not to mention we can never hit him.

[Jazz]

ouch...freel got hurt.

[Post Count Padder]

Freel fouls one off his leg

[Chris]

get a bandage

Wish he coulda done that to other teams in '01 with the Cubs.

if he would have been thrown out, you would have bitched to high heaven about it. you're just frustrated with this terrible team.
