4/10 Cubs (Harden) @ Brewers (Looper) - 3:05 CDT WGN

[UMFan83]

See Ryan...when Lou puts you in double play depth...he kinda assumes that you will be too far back to make a play at the plate. So when you get a grounder to you, guess what you do? (I'll give you a clue...its mentioned in the defensive formation you are in).

 

Thats right! You go for the double play.

[BCVM22]

God that sucked, so, so terribly. That game was every gaping flaw of this team out for everyone to gaze upon. Edited April 10, 2009 by BCVM22

[Soul]

Hill's reaction is actually quite hilarious.

[Hall7810]

Wouldn't have gotten the double play on that and Weeks was definitely safe.

 

with braun running? they had a better chance than they did at home.

 

and weeks was definitely safe.

 

It was hit right at him, he should've turned two.

[Cynosure]

Weeks was out, fwiw.

 

No, not really. Nice slide... he was safe, Hill took way too long to get the ball down.

[Clem Fandango]

Wait... was there a a double play grounder hit to Theriot and he went home with it?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Are the Indians out of the race yet? Is Wood available?

[David]

BREWERS WIN THE PENNANT (I THINK!??!?!?!)

 

Oh well Weeks will get a nice fine for throwing equipment, douchebag.

 

 

we'd be celebrating the same for a walkoff win

[cubbinalltheway]

Weeks was out, fwiw.

he was safe. and it was not even close.

[cheapseats]

Ryan Theriot is The Mole.

"Ryan, bad, bad decision"

With Theriot' noodle arm there was a far better chance of turning the DP than throwing out the runner at home.

i hate when people say this. cubs celebrate walkoffs all the time. it's part of the game.

Not slamming a helmet down in front of 2 other people... that's a fine. Not that it will really affect him at all, but it will be a little consolation prize for me I guess.

[CubmanPi]

Weeks was out, fwiw.

No, his hand was on the plate before Hill brought the glove over. That was a pretty easy call.

 

Of course, he would have been out with a good throw. Too bad Ryan Theriot sucks at baseball.

How many runs did Theriot cost us today?

We all know Kerry wouldn't blow a save against the Brewers in the first week of the season......

[Guest]

with braun running? they had a better chance than they did at home.

 

and weeks was definitely safe.

 

The ball was deep in the hole. With Fatty running, maybe, but Braun, while not a speed demon, isn't the slowest guy in the world.

[BCVM22]

How many runs did Theriot cost us today?

 

Two - the error in the first and that horrible excuse for a major league play just now.

[Bixby]

Can Marmol be the closer now?

[Roast]

Theriot brought his bat today but he had a godawful defensive game. Jesus, what the hell was he thinking throwing home?

[chasinf5s]

How many runs did Theriot cost us today?

 

2

 

why the hell did i yell neifi nooo when he threw home

[cubbinalltheway]

How many runs did Theriot cost us today?

not sure, but i know he's +1 on offense...

[SpongeWorthy]

The Cubs wouldn't have turned two if Theriot didn't go home. His momentum was carrying him towards 3rd because Theriot is such a horrific defender that he couldn't get in position to make what should've been a routine DP.
