Alright, I can't handle these announcers anymore. Mute and let my wife listen to some Canadian indy rock band she likes or something.

[CubsGM]

Throw strikes!

Tony Gwynn had the most PA at the 3rd spot in the order, and posted the highest OPS there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kennedy walked

[illiniguy]

I am betting this strategy of pitching to Pujols with guys on base is gonna bite us in the butt here.

[Warpticon]

Okay. Tony Gwynn had 512 PAs at leadoff in his career. He clearly didn't feel comfortable being moved to third, where he had 5417. Lord, Joe, can't you stick to being wrong about concepts?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Marquis' had good luck vs. Pujols so far, but mark my words, if he keeps letting the garbage around him on, he'll get him eventually.

[C.C.]

No way in the world does Albert not get a hit here.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That has to be some of the most idiotic drivel I've ever heard during a baseball broadcast.

[Andy]

Marquis is just daring Pujols to crush him in one of these spots. That's the only explanation.

 

We'll have no bullpen by July.

[RedFlash]

leadoff spot: needs a player to be productive.

Sorry I know: not a productive, outside of those streak.

Piniella: Only guy in the org who thinks "Sorry I know" should bat in a productive spot.

 

If Piniella is going to work closely with Pie, plus call up Dave Keller, then Soriano should be forced to attend these sessions. Because there is absolutely NO REASON why any pitcher should ever throw "Sorry I know" a FB.

[Flames24Rulz]

Walking Kennedy in front of Pujols. It worked so good once that Marquis is doing it again. Dumbass.

[bcl412]

Morgan is maddening! I hate his voice!

 

You know maybe the reason that today's era sucks so much (according to Morgan) is because Joe Morgan has announced during it meaning kids have grown up listening to him announce baseball games.

[CubsGM]

This won't end good.

Wow think how good his career would have been were he comfortable.

[C.C.]

Just walk him.

[radarluv1]

kennedy should see fastballs down the middle, nothing else, when hitting before Phatty

[17 Seconds]

Marquis is the dumbest pitcher ever.

[cheapseats]

Bobby Bonds had a higher OPS as a 5 hitter than he did as a 1.

[C.C.]

Predictable.

[Andy]

predictable.

 

Yank him

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Marquis is lucky it's only four at this point.

Amazingly, unlike Dusty, Lou was actually right about Bobby Bonds when he joined the Yankees.

 

What is Marquis still doing in there?

[cheapseats]

Time to send Marquis to the minors.

[Flames24Rulz]

Just awful.
