4/20 Cards (Looper) vs. Cubs (Lilly), 1:20, CSN & XM-187

[Tracer Bullet]

If he walks, isn't a dead ball situation?

 

Hmmm, I can't see the game but surely on a walk it's a dead ball situation.

 

no it's not.

 

Why not?

 

You can advance after a wild pitch on ball 4.

 

You can keep running to 2nd base after a walk.

 

You can steal a base as a walk occurs.

 

It just isnt a dead ball.

 

Rule 7.04(b) Comment: A runner forced to advance without liability to be put out may advance past the base to which he is entitled only at his peril.

[Soul]

I've come to the conclusion that Cedeno is to Lou what Neifi was to Dusty.

 

Lou will find a way to put Ronny on a bus. Dusty did everything in his power to keep Neifi a Cub. There's a difference.

[RynoRules]

I think something we can all agree on is that Ronny Cedeno is a crappy baserunner. And a moron.

 

His ass needs to be in Double A. He's complete garbage.

 

He's become Neifi with a better glove.

No even Neifi hit above .100

hey everybody...murton went 0-1. a lot of other guys went 0-4.

 

0-1 is much better. He is on the All Star track this year, no doubt.

 

yeah, that's what i said.

 

on that note, i'll leave the game thread to you whiny babies.

 

How mature of you. Are you 28 or 8?

Probably gonna switch to the Red Sox shorlty. Can't take much more.

[Derwood]

In the past 2 days, the Cubs have scored a grand total of 4 runs off of Mark Redman and Braden Looper

and split.

 

only because of the awesomeness that is Rich Hill

 

Ted Lilly has given up a total of 3 runs in his last 2 starts and has lost both

Yeah. But, what are you gonna do? This is what we get when we sign up to be Cubs fans.

Just watch. His next start he'll give up 5 or 6 runs and get the win.

[Tracer Bullet]

MURTON IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF AND CEDENO IS JUST NOT VERY SMART ABOUT BASEBALL!!!!!!!

 

Why is Murton pissing you off?

Is it because he's been thrust only into end game situations as a young player against pitchers he's never faced in his only AB of the game?

Is it because Lou is putting him in that spot?

Is it because the Cubs system hates OBP and tries to remove that quality from his plate approach?

 

Which one is it?

 

Even when he has played and started this year he hasn't looked good. He doesn't do anyhting good besides being patient, and he hasnt even done that this year.

 

I find it incredibly odd that a player that's been historically very patient, even in 500+ ML ABs under Dusty, is suddenly swinging at so many first pitches. I don't know what's going on, but I can't believe that he suddenly abandoned his patient approach.

I don't think we will score that many runs the rest of the year. :P

[VanceJergins]

Two words.....Braden Looper

 

that is all.

fine with me

[YearofDaCubs]

Never thought I would say this but..Dusty is laughing right now enjoying not being part of this ridiculous organization.

0-4, you friggin genius.

 

I mean hoestly, let's face it, Dusty Baker ruined Matt Murton.

 

I sincerely hope thats sarcasm.....Please let that be sarcasm.

 

Actually, I agree. Dusty preached "aggressiveness" in the batters box, and Murton gradually began swinging at the first pitch.

 

Dusty caused him to regress, but how can you say he's ruined with the year he had last year?

 

I thought you were disagreeing about Dusty's impact. You're right, he's not "ruined", but he's having trouble getting back to his patient self, that's for sure.

I would say its that fact that he doesn't get to play and he's trying to be aggressive and show what he can do.

I've come to the conclusion that Cedeno is to Lou what Neifi was to Dusty.

 

Lou will find a way to put Ronny on a bus. Dusty did everything in his power to keep Neifi a Cub. There's a difference.

 

I hope so.

Ah, it's a slump and he is pressing. Nothing more. He will be himself again soon.

I don't understand why noone ever calls you out on your constant name calling.

 

What other point were you making with your statement? 0-1 or 0-4 it is all horrible.

Take me with you.
