[Magnetic Curses]

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

 

tony's writing a bestseller against milwaukee today.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Murton stared down one of the juiciest fastballs he'll ever see on 2-1. Just below the waist, just to the inside side of the middle of the plate.

 

He's praying for a walk.

[Banghart]

Tough second strike call on Murton. Normally don't get that call when the catcher has to move his mitt that far.

Yeah he burnt through all his guys by the 9th. Awesome work Tony. =D>

[Magnetic Curses]

this goofball throws 2 changeups with the bases loaded and behind in the count. i wonder why he isn't a starter anymore.

[El Ridda]

What's wrong with Murton's lip? He make out with the wrong skank this weekend???

[Hairyducked Idiot]

D'oh, fielder's choice but no run. That wasn't on my outcome list :(

[E.J.]

Another ground ball from Murton. Ugh.

[PrimeTime]

Ugh

[Banghart]

Murton hits into the FC. No run scores.

[98navigator]

Come on Matt, keep the ball off the ground.

 

too late

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damn! Hit that in the wrong spot.

[haubrich91]

Come on Murton, you could at least hit a fly ball.

[UMFan83]

And Matt Murton just sealed his fate with the Cubs right there...

[rocket]

lean into that reed

[Tyrant]

Matt is using a dowell rod for a bat right now.

[Magnetic Curses]

i don't think it's productive to tell someone to hit the ball in a certain place. just hit it hard.

[cubbyvirus00]

I'm sorry but Murton has been junk all season with the Cubs and Iowa....

 

An outfielder with no XBH?

 

He prays for a walk each AB, and then will hit the pitchers pitch on the ground...

LOL, he's married so let's hope that's not the case.

LOL Nice.

He posted a 400+ OBP in Iowa. If he can do that, I don't really care how hard or where he's hitting the ball.

[da bears]

What a long, and disappointing inning after such a promising start.

[Banghart]

Be nice to see Lou go with Hart in this situation, but since it is only a 3 run lead we will probably see Marmol.

[Roast]

I love when we don't score with the bases juiced and less than 2 outs.

[UMFan83]

17 base runners, 4 runs for the Cubs
