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

[tfarks]

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

 

He could of Happy Gilmore'd it and got in front of that ball.

[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...

 

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".

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?

What message does his non-action send?Stupid baseball like this made Dusty an analyst.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

barrett sucks

[Mizzou]

How did we get our second run?

No there was plenty more that made Dusty an analyst. The players should know better plain and simple. Lou cant run the bases for them. We dont know that Lou isnt saying anything to them in the clubhouse.

Lee RBI 2B

[Keener98]

How did we get our second run?

 

Lee rbi double

[JeffH]

Larry the Throwing Coach makes an appearance.

 

This will likely result in a three-run HR.

[illiniguy]

Jesus we field about as well as we run the bases.

[weis21]

barrett has been flat out aweful this year from every aspect.

[dalgreen]

Michael Barrett: the world's only living brain donor.

 

Honestly, how many times a year do you hear or hear anyone say, "That was a smart play by Barrett," or "Smart at-bat by Barrett". I know there are lots of people on the board who love him just because offensively he's been one of the better catchers in the NL. But partly because from an offensive standpoint the catcher's position isn't what it was fifteen or twenty years ago, and, think about it, catchers like Ausmus, Pagnozzi, Matheny and Molina have played in more postseason games than Barrett has. Give me a smart catcher and I'll gladly give up offense and find it at another position on the team.

I agree, he really hurts our team in a lot more ways than he helps it.

[Shilzzz]

hahahahaha cobs Sox

[Monco]

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

It was a line drive that landed a foot in front of his left foot.He did not have to move,he just plain missed it.Thats a play that should be made.

At the very least get your body in front of it. But, it has only led to 2 runs thus far.

[Soul]

Wow couple grounders we should have had and suddenly death approaches.

[Mizzou]

Man, you're just a bundle of you aren't you!

Look, that's what you get when you prefer "toolsy" players. "Toolsy" players rely on their tools vs. being smart and playing with heart.

[TruffleShuffle]

what happened with derosa?

 

boy, he just can't get used to those day games :roll:

 

huh?

 

derosa complained yesterday about how he hasn't gotten use to the day games yet... but he still sucks at night.

 

 

sucks to the tune of a .925 OPS in night games, apparently

Agreed.Give me a catcher who can handle a staff and shut down a running game.I'll sacrifice 40 points of a batting average.

[Soul]

We already know Lou's saying it......on national TV.

 

It's apparently not helping. I guess these bozo players don't feel like they have to listen.

[TruffleShuffle]

so have jorge posada and mike piazza

[bcruise]

Anyone here having trouble with Gameday audio tonight? I'm not getting any of the streams...it won't even get to where it starts buffering.
