[da bears]

I just noticed that some dude named Joe Smith was pitching. Most generic name in the history of the world.

We should call him Joey Joe-Joe Junior Shabadoo.

[E.J.]

That was a complete waste of D. Ward.

[Banghart]

DeRo move sup 90 feet on the wp. Soto now pinch hitting for Ward with lefty Smith on.

Hey! Joey Joe-Joe!

that's the stupidest name i've ever heard.

[AlwaysaCub]

Um, so we just burned Ward, have used Fontenot, have The Riot with back spasms, so who hits for Howry? Or does he get to bat?

[haubrich91]

Nice baserunning and awareness by DeRo.

 

Let's go Murton!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Matt Murton sighting.

[Guest]

Murton is going deep here. I can feel it.

[E.J.]

Come on Murton. Gotta get the ball in the air for once. No ground balls.

[illiniguy]

Good lord Willie and Lou are writing the book on how to overmanage here.

[Jon]

No swinging at the first pitch, Matt. Apparently the coaching staff actually wants people to be patient now.

just hit the ball hard somewhere.

[Garage Party]

The pinch hitter...number 41...Braden...Looper.

[Guest]

Nevermind. That was assuming the Mets would stay with the righty. Now he's going to "settle" for a single.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Outcome odds of Murton at-bat:

 

Walk: 40%

Ground ball RBI FC: 20%

GIDP: 39.9%

Other: .1%

[Banghart]

NYM pitching change for the right handed Matt Murton. Only batter left on the bench is The Riot. If Murton comes through with a single here for two more runs, I hope Lou sits Marmol down and gets Wuertz up. Would be nice to not have to use Marmol and Wood back to back in games that ultimately were not that close.

 

*Note-not arguing with the usage yesterday since the game was close until the bottom of the eighth. Just would be nice to have both rested for the road trip.

Bunch of nutcases, those guys.

[E.J.]

nice eye murton. make him throw strikes.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

If Murton comes through, we'll probably see Hart.

[erik316wttn]

I love how everyone was clamoring for Murton over EPatt, and he's been up for less than a week and everyone thinks he sucks.

[Banghart]

Hart has joined Marmol warming up now.
