Re: 6/24 O's (Guthrie) at Cubs (Marshall) 7:05 WGN

Lee and Murt need to go sit on it.

[Outshined_One]

Got a pitch to hit and got under it.

 

Nuts.

[Joe_Cub]

hey, he hit it in the air

[CubsGM]

UGHHH

[TMan92]

Stupid Wrigley fans.

And of course he pops out. What a stupid decision.

[17 Seconds]

Derrek Lee f'd up this whole inning by swinging at ball 4.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm gonna be honest I thought he CRUSHED that for a second

 

me too, but then I remembered it came off of Matt Murtons bat.

[BCVM22]

That was anticlimatic.

 

Can Soto, DeRo and Theriot get at least 2 runs off of this guy?

 

:(

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well damn.

 

Maybe Sherrill will end up having trouble when he comes back in for the ninth as he's not used to having to get four outs.

 

Probably not, but we can hope.

[17 Seconds]

And of course he pops out. What a stupid decision.

 

What would you have done? Edmonds would have gotten eaten alive

[splintersag]

God why does the bat make so much noise! Combined with the crowd's gasp, I thought that was way onto Waveland!

[Outshined_One]

Edmonds looks like trash against LHPs. I'm glad Lou decided to sit him.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Jesus with a flyout.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Brilliant Lou. Brilliant.

 

What do you suggest?

 

Letting a fifteen year veteran who has hit 3 homers in the last 3 games bat. I don't care if the pitcher is a lefty.

 

You should care, LHP make Edmonds weep. He has a .493 OPS against them this year.

[TruffleShuffle]

And of course he pops out. What a stupid decision.

 

career numbers for sherrill:

 

vs RHB: .241/.360/.340/.700

vs LHB: .167/.235/.290/.525

 

that was easily, easily the right move, even if it didn't work out.

[BigSlick]

Well we got a chance in the 9th, which is more than I thought we'd have in the 6th inning

[CubsNSkers07]

So howd that little switch work out for you Lou? a-hole. I guess it all comes down to Soto-Derosa-Theriot. *sigh*

 

I'd be much happier if we gave up runs instead of holding them and loaded the bases down 1 no outs and lose by 1. But I know if they score we'll just score enough to lose by 1 either way! BUT anyways enough pessimism GO COBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I'll take a hot Edmonds over a not good Murton everyday of the week.

[CubsGM]

Thanks for the great game Derrek Lee. Can we include him in the CC deal?

Well DeRosa is due for a big hit one of these months. (Minus wind blown homer)

A 15 year veteran with atrocious lefty splits this season against a guy who destroys left handed hitters.
