5/13 Fathers (Estes) @ Cubs (Marquis) 7:05 CSNC

[bcl412]

So that is why bunting is stupid

[Rob]

Well that was just swell.

 

Honestly, I'm more pissed at Lou for the stupid call than I am at Theriot for the bad bunt.

[illiniguy]

dammit. you have to push it to first with estes there.

[Mizzou]

Not a big fan of bunting with a guy hitting .330. Especially against Shawn Estes.

[Schwarber Fan]

I honestly think if we don't score here, we're gonna lose this game with all the rain on its way.

[weis21]

Why does it seem that all cubs suck at bunting? pitchers or otherwise.

[cubscausestress]

bunting. bad. giving outs away. bad.

[Mizzou]

So hit a HR here and then hope for a ton of rain to call the game.

Not a big fan of bunting with a guy hitting .330. Especially against Shawn Estes.

 

Especially when a successful bunt would have resulted in a free pass that would have kept our best hitter from getting to swing.

They're trying to convince their manager not to let them do it?

[BigSlick]

who cares if they can or can't bunt, they shouldn't be bunting in the first place

 

this is dumb i'm angry

[radarluv1]

maybe they're just going for 2 runs here, with the rain coming

[rawaction]

Seriously dude his hitting .336. The pitcher sucks, why let him off the ropes?

Yeah, and then we'd have to rely on that terrible hitter Ramirez followed by that bum Fukudome...

 

 

 

*note, i'm not justifying the bunt. Just saying*

[bring stone back]

So that is why bunting is stupid

 

No, that is why sacrifice bunts that aren't executed well are stupid.

[Roast]

Ah crap lee. C'mon Ramirez, we need at least one.

[erik316wttn]

Lee flies to left. Now Aram will make an out, the skies will open up, and the Cubs will lose in 5.

[CubsGM]

Come on Aramis

[inari]

One more chance or this game just might be over.

[illiniguy]

How did he not crush that?

[Schwarber Fan]

Dammit, we need a hit from Aramis

[Flames24Rulz]

Well we're going to blow this chance. Thanks Lou.

[cheapseats]

Not to mention that Theriot has always hit lefties MUCH better than righties.

[Magnetic Curses]

So that is why bunting is stupid

 

No, that is why sacrifice bunts that aren't executed well are stupid.

 

no, bunting with your #2 hitter is stupid. or, having a #2 hitter who you'd rather bunt with in that situation is stupid.

[inari]

So that is why bunting is stupid

 

No, that is why sacrifice bunts that aren't executed well are stupid.

 

It's stupid either way.
