5/29 Marlins (Willis) vs. Cubs (Marquis) 7:05PM CT CSN

[Monco]

So who stole the real Lou? He would have exploded by now, probably more than once.

 

Big contract,day baseball,full house everyday,beautiful Wrigley Field.Whats to be upset about?

[JeffH]

hopefully Hendry finds a way to awaken these guys soon with a shake up.

 

Why would he do that? We're just snakebit!

[Soul]

Double for Fonz.

 

Vegas posts a line of 50% he gets picked off.

[Electron Blue]

Comcast leading back in from commercial with Lou talking about baserunning.

 

I think even the producers of the TV coverage are sick of this crap.

 

yep. gotta give len, bob, and the producers credit for not sugarcoating this ridiculous problem. Not that it'd be easy to ignore, but I could see a broadcast team doing just that. Keep up the good work, Len!

[Monco]

Wasn't Lou gonna change this ,stress fundamentals and all?

 

At this point this isnt on Lou. Believe me Lou is to blame for some things, but the baserunning isnt one of them. These guys are making little league mistakes. I just think we have a team of dumbasses.

If he gets the credit when they win...

[Keener98]

There is that non clutch Lee once again. JeffH is he still woeful?

[Soul]

Lee is the only damn ballplayer on this team. How do you wear that Cub uniform, watch Lee play every day, and not realize how pathetically poor you are playing?

 

Come on dammit, have some standards.

Oh he'll definitely get the blame if they don't stop acting like 5 year olds on the basepads.

 

But as for whether it's really his fault, that's open to question.

[Electron Blue]

holy crap, if d-lee ran into willis and missed any time I would be so mad. :evil: *nightmares of marcus giles* Edited May 30, 2007 by Electron Blue

Of course! He's a Cub!

[Shilzzz]

how was that a ground rule double?

Huh? these guys are pros they should know by know when u are on 2nd base and a ball is hit in front of you you dont advance. If Lou or any manager in the game was to try continually going over this, the players wouldnt be paying a bit of attention. They would all be thinking "we know this dumbass come on we are pros".

It seems like the only player he calls out is Murton.

[Electron Blue]

how was that a ground rule double?

 

it wasn't ground rule. DOntrelle obstructed the basepath

Actually, they'd all be listening to very bad music on their iPods.

When has he called out Murton really? The only time I remember Lou calling anybody out so far this year was Ohman, when he was talking about having a pitcher out there throwing 40 foot curveballs lol.

How about benching them?Other than Lee or Aram,the replacement players production wouldn't be much different,possibly even better.

Benching who though? Off the top of my head, murton, jones, barret, theriot, derosa, lee, soriano have all made bad base running mistakes. You calling up AAA to play?

[Monco]

That should be E4,not a single.

[Shilzzz]

in case any one wants to know... this is from yahoo, so it's behind:

 

cabrera struck out,

willingham walked,

hermida singled.

 

1 & 3rd one out

 

cubs up 2-0

[OleMissCub]

Not gonna bitch at DeRo for that. It was an absolute rocket. Those are hard to scoop sometimes on those rocket in between hops.
