04/25 - Cubs (Dempster) vs. Nationals (Perez) - 6:35 - CSN

[SpongeWorthy]

This would be comical if it were some other team.

 

4 pitch hitters wasted over 2 ABs is objectively very funny. If it were the Nats I'd be laughing my butt off.

[CubsGM]

meanwhile were down to 1 pinch hitter if the need arises.

We can count Zambrano as a pinch hitter, right?

[YearofDaCubs]

Marmol in again. I'm pretty sure thisd is the year his arm falls off

[cubbyvirus00]

Are we forgetting tho, that WAS used 3 pitchers that inning?

[Outshined_One]

So what just happened here? Four batters in two ABs? I'm not sure, is Lou he trying to make some sort of point?

 

He's encroaching on Tony LaRussa territory. At some point in the 80s, TLR got a bug up his rear about something and turned into this micromanaging freak of nature. It'd get to the point where he'd use four relievers to get three outs in an inning despite only needing one.

They are.

More importantly, we don't have the damn lead and now Lou's going to try to make Marmol's arm fall off.

But, you're a Cub fan. You're used to crap like this.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

While we need burn up our entire bench, if this one goes extras those pitching changes ate up a good part of the Nationals' pen.

Nice play Fontenot.

He is worthless.

[illiniguy]

Seriously Fontenot is garbage.

[David]

[YearofDaCubs]

[PrimeTime]

Ugh Fontenot..Damn you

That's true and its obviously better to waste their pen

 

Fontenot is the worst player on the team by far.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That may be curtains for ole Fontenot.

[mul21]

Also, I'd rather have Murt in LF and DeRo at 2B than Font in the game.

 

And he blows a play as we speak, ugh.

[David]

Theriot and Fontenot falling flat on their faces...

[CubColtPacer]

I still say the mistake was in the first substitution.

 

After that, you cannot leave Ward up there to bat against a left-hander. When you then have a left-hander on the mound, you have to pinch-hit Blanco, and then when a right-hander comes into the game, you have to pinch-hit for him.

 

If you trust Cedeno though, at most you have to use 2 extra players in that inning.

 

This game and a game a few games ago proves that we need a good right-handed hitter on the bench though. Ward is going to get burned sometimes because they'll put a left-hander in the game, and we need a great pinch-hitter to make them pay for that move.

[cubbyvirus00]

HAHAHAHA what a piece of crap.

 

I'm seriously freaking tired of the two midgets in our infield

[CubsGM]

Theriot and Fontenot falling flat on their faces...

It's da Cajun Connection Dood

[Magnetic Curses]

That may be curtains for ole Fontenot.

 

i hope so, anyone would be better.

[RedFlash]

Nah, man, he ain't worthless, as long as "Lord of the Rings" is still around, Fontenot will always have a role as a hobbit.
