8/18 Cardinals (Reyes) @ Cubs (Marshall) 2:55 FOX

[Roast]

Kendall: take note, that's how you throw a runner out.

 

 

Plus, he got a terrible jump.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wow, don't run on Molina please.

 

My guess was a hit and run, but the pitch out ruined that.

[Roast]

How the hell was that scrappy?

 

 

Because he's small and white.

 

oh yah, silly me, i forgot.

[badger1679666666]

Wow, don't run on Molina please.

With the Riot batting, that's a good guess.

[UMFan83]

So woody hasn't pitched since the 15 and Howry pitched yesterday. Why is Howry up?

 

Wood hasn't looked all the great and this is a pivotal game.

 

They are all pivotal at this point. Are we only going to pitch him in blowouts?

[C.C.]

So woody hasn't pitched since the 15 and Howry pitched yesterday. Why is Howry up?

 

Wood hasn't looked all the great and this is a pivotal game.

 

We've got a 3 run lead. He needs to work his kinks out so he can be a valuable part of the pen coming down the stretch.

 

You say that like a 3 run lead is safe?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ugh.

 

Oh well, we have to hope for more good innings from the pen.

Plus, he got a terrible jump.

 

To be fair, Molina is on a whole other level than the vast majority of ML catchers.

At least it is a multi-run lead. There is at least some margin for error.

not entirely, but we're facing a horrible lineup (save pujols) and it's STILL a 3 run lead. You're acting like its a tie game against the '27 yankees.

I say that like we need to get woody his work, and a 3 run lead is a fine opportunity to bring him in. And yes, with our pen and how it's performed overall, I feel like a 3 run lead is relatively safe.

True, but the fact remains. I honestly dont know if Kendall could have thrown fontenot out there.

And Pujols is due up second this inning

So Woody can't face any good batters, even with a 3 run lead?

 

How's he going to get his confidence?

geez that was scary.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ward scares me.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Ward scared me there.

[C.C.]

That was interesting.

You say that like Kerry Wood is Felix Heredia.

I agree. If Woody can't come in and get work on here because the game is too close or too important, then they shouldn't have put him on the roster. (Though Lou may well have different reasons, I'm just saying.)

[CubsBears29]

Watching Daryle Ward field his position causes me heart palpitations.

Haha, I was on the opposite side of the argument a second ago. I just like to play devil's advocate

[badger1679666666]

Felix Heredia.

 

Now I'm gonna have nightmares!!

 

*Shudder*

[Schwarber Fan]

Meh, we'd be down 2-1 without Ward, so I'm OK with his awkwardness in RF.

[da bears]

wonderful.
