9/2 Astros (Backe) v Cubs (Z!) 7:05 WGN

[17 Seconds]

WHY BUNT WITH DEROSA!!!!!!!

 

Because you've hit into four double plays already today.

 

 

And that impacts this how?

 

 

You want a guy in scoring position. End of story.

 

not at the expense of outs

 

In the ninth. In a tie game. Yes you do.

 

The odds of you winning go down after you bunt, even in the 9th in a tie game.

I know...groupthink rules all.

 

Common sense =/= group think.

[sweetpeteman]

Sigh. This game is not going to end well...especially not with Lou trying to forfeit it.

[Derwood]

Soto showing that bat who's boss

[kujay]

Bummer.

[E.J.]

You give a kid his first major league at-bat in the 9th inning of a tie game in September with a division race going on? Really?

[Sorianos hop]

What a beast

[Little Slide Rooter]

Crap. I dont like the idea of Woody in a tie game.

[BCVM22]

Ugh.

 

We're losing this game. I guarantee that Blum or Newhan or whomever the catcher is will drive in the winning run.

[Ski]

So, who's pitching next inning? Shark?

 

Let's just hold the lead. I'd love to see a walkoff.

[CubsBears29]

Why do I get the feeling this won't end well (a win)?? :(

Definitely Woody.

Common sense would have to be common, wouldn't it?

 

You want a guy in scoring position if you only need one. Sorry.
