5/27 - Cubs (Hill) @ Dodgers (Wolf) 3:10 CST WGN

[Shilzzz]

ladies and gentlemen. may i present: the inevitable.

[hawkcub]

Throw to third MB. Then no matter what the runner at worst is at 2nd.

[IowaCubsFan]

I'd rather see Blanco starting every game instead of that meathead Barrett. His defense is atrocious.

[Bruno7481]

Why not bring him in. Guzman has been a disaster this inning.

[cubfan1955]

Seriously though, why not leave Guzman in to walk Furcal and then bring Marmol in? DP home to first and then a K and we're out of the inning. See how simple that would have been?

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Throw to third MB. Then no matter what the runner at worst is at 2nd.

 

or he could have done the smart thing and run out in the infield to get the guy in a run down.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Throw to third MB. Then no matter what the runner at worst is at 2nd.

 

Except DeRosa was 15-20 feet in front of the base. He should have run at him then picked him off when he started back to second.

[rynefan]

Only the Cubs can't score a runner from third with no one out. So we're toast.

[Soul]

So now we are goin to bring in Marmol? Lou has officially lost his mind. He sucks

 

:roll:

 

First he's an idiot for even having Marmol warm up. Now he's an idiot for not bringing him in sooner.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

he should have just run at him and forced him one way or the another and had an actual chance to get him out.

[IowaCubsFan]

Seriously though, why not leave Guzman in to walk Furcal and then bring Marmol in? DP home to first and then a K and we're out of the inning. See how simple that would have been?

 

Because Guzman's control is so bad this inning he probably would have gotten it over the plate.

[hawkcub]

We probably will lose a series that we should have swept. Just sickening.

[rynefan]

That Barrett bonehead replay makes me sick.

[Brian]

WHY NOT LET GUZMAN THROWS THESE BALLS?

[Sarcastic]

I'd rather see Blanco starting every game instead of that meathead Barrett. His defense is atrocious.

 

And have Blanco up there flailing daily? That is a terrible idea. Barrett makes mistakes, but he is undoubtably more valuable than Blanco.

[IowaCubsFan]

he should have just run at him and forced him one way or the another and had an actual chance to get him out.

 

But see, that would require Barrett to be a player that has actual knowledge of the game.

[inari]

Why bring in Marmol to issue an intentional walk? I hate that.

[soccer10k]

Throw to third MB. Then no matter what the runner at worst is at 2nd.

 

I learned this when I was nine. You make sure the runner does not advance.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Bringing him in to walk the guy. I'm seriously about to drive to Chicago so I can take an ice pick to Lou when he gets there.

[Bruno7481]

Pierre wins this with a walk off grand slam!

 

:D

[Shilzzz]

this is me being a dope, but...

 

has pierre grounded out to second yet today?

 

bring in theriot, get em at home

[Brian]

going to be done in by slappy AGAIN :x

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

man...lou is no better than dusty.....f this noise :x

[witty alias]

When I was 9 years old, I learned that if a runner is halfway you either run at him or throw ahead of him. Apparently Barrett missed that day.

Michael Barrett is dumber than a 9 year old.
