Murton is terrible, I'm sorry.....until he can get a ball out of the infield, let him play at Iowa

[CubsNSkers07]

At least he didn't GIDP then i would only hate him 100 times more than I already do.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

What the hell has happened to Murton? Where is his patience at?

 

 

He worked a full count before striking out. Patience wasn't the problem there.

[hotshot13422]

-------- win.

How mature.

 

we're cub fans, maturity doesn't exist

[CubsGM]

---------- win.

 

How astonishingly not funny. Seriously, this isn't middle school.

LOL or wait...no

[weatherdood]

Watch Reed single to RF, bringing Ronny to 3rd only for Theriot to ground out weakly on the first pitch

Besides swinging at ball 4 twice. Yeah, you are right.

[Little Slide Rooter]

At least we give Lee and Ramirez a crack at it, as long as Howry keeps us were we are.

[salukifudd]

I'm a Murton fan, but he has looked horrible at the plate.

[Flames24Rulz]

SEND CEDENO, DAG NABBIT!

[Roast]

YES. WP!

 

A single can do it now.

[weatherdood]

That's just like sending him :)

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ok, a single could tie it here.

[chuckywang]

C'mon ... only need a single!!

[illiniguy]

Johnson should have swung and ran.

[woodchip2153]

UNFREAKINREAL

 

that was the last chance they were gonna get

We are going to win this game.

 

CubmanPI - Audio is working.

Crap. Now it's just my computer. Thanks for the heads up though.

 

I had to use the link through Gamecast or whatever it is called.

[rawaction]

I'm also a Murton fan and Ward should have been hitting there. He's the big money on the bench. He's paid to come up late with the game on the line, whether a LH or RH is on the mound. Now, he won't get to hit for any of the next 7 batters at least. Lou has overcoached tonight.

[hotshot13422]

Johnson should have swung and ran.

 

do you have more confidence in reed or theriot to drive in a run?

So, in an 8 pitch AB, he swings at one ball. Patience wasn't the problem.

[illiniguy]

Johnson should have swung and ran.

I was thinking to get one batter deeper. So Fuku bats for sure next inning.

Agreed. Murton is not a PH. And he's only had 10 ABs in the majors this year. Not a good spot to use him (which is why he should be in Iowa if he's not ever going to start - he's a terrible PH).

[weatherdood]

Another tough break

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

gdamnit!

[CubColtPacer]

I'd hit Ward anyway. He can hit lefties. I don't like Murton in this spot.

 

Over the last 3 years, Ward has a combined .489 OPS against left-handers. He really cannot hit them.
