9/17 - Reds (Arroyo) @ Cubs (Hill) 7:05 CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto popped out to left center field

[weis21]

Getting to the end of the year and it seems Brenley is ripping on the cubs a little more lately. I'm glad.

[TruffleShuffle]

this team sucks

[Keener98]

Hey, it's Fontenot

 

Great.

 

I know what you are saying but there really is no reason for Ward to lead off an inning. Id rather he come up with runners on.

 

I'd rather have the guy with the 438 OBP get on for Soto and Soriano.

 

Leaving Ward on the bench for a chance to hit with people on base is Dusty managing at its finest.

 

I see your point

[Bruno7481]

Getting to the end of the year and it seems Brenley is ripping on the cubs a little more lately. I'm glad.

 

Probably because he's in the last year of his broadcasting contract and he's looking to get back into the dugout.

[da bears]

what an embarrassing game.

[SouthSideRyan]

Why the hell is Fontenot pinch hitting?

 

Perhaps it's the .400 OBP he has as a pinch-hitter?

 

Yeah those 20 PAs seem pretty rock solid for a sample.

 

EDIT: beaten

You are bad at baseball, Cubs

[Keener98]

So we are essentially behind the Brewers after tonight sweet

[Little Slide Rooter]

At least nobody got stranded.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

I can't take anymore of this, off to run

Zambrano and Lilly versus Harang and garbage.

[SouthSideRyan]

Lou could make it up to me by pinch hitting Ward for Theriot. That's about it.

[Keener98]

Why the hell is Fontenot pinch hitting?

 

Perhaps it's the .400 OBP he has as a pinch-hitter?

EDIT: beaten

 

 

Guess we should play him at SS too since hes got a 1.155 OPS while playing SS

Johnny McNoChance and Lefty Von NoRunSupport will be going for the Cubs.

[C.C.]

Another game of beating ourselves. How can our offense look like world beaters 1 inning and incompetent idiots the other 8. Blah!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Here comes Ohman vs. the heart of the Reds linup. Game. Set. Match.

[TMan92]

Ohman.....Wow. Are we giving up in the 9th?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ohman in to pitch for the CUBS

Zambrano and Lilly versus Harang and garbage.

 

Whoever that 'garbage' pitcher is, he'll notch another W to his record after facing the Cubs.
