6/2 Cubs (Wells) @ Braves (Kawakami) 6CDT WGN

[big_shooter17]

This is easily one of the worst managed games by Lou Piniella, and I really need only point at the Marmol substitution after a Theriot error while Wells was cruising and has like 80 pitches

AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!

i hate Sac bunts by ANYONE but pitchers

 

I'm a big fan of small ball & sacrifices in general, but it generally is a better idea when your team is a high contact team, especially with RISP, that actually more often than not cashes in on a man on second with one out.

[NotSoSober]

Holy ish, I didn't even notice Lou replaced Soto with Bobby Scales 'til now. Unbelievably stupid. If you're going to do that, why not use Dempster to lay the sac down?

[Keener98]

We better score about 5 runs this inning with Heilman coming in the game.

[TruffleShuffle]

Not getting runs this inning with the crap coming up.

 

which makes it even dumber to bunt there. you burn a position player in extra innings trying to lay down a bunt with bad hitters coming up. what's the point?

[kjfoster 1553]

Why am I watching this when Bear Grylls and Will Ferrel are on the Discovery channel together on Man Vs Wild?

 

Haha, I changed as soon as MvW came on. :thumbsup:

[Hall7810]

If you're gonna do it, at least bring Dempster in.

[witty alias]

Not as bad as the Pirates game last week. Nothing will ever top Lou's decisions that night.

[TruffleShuffle]

If you're going to do that, why not use Dempster to lay the sac down?

 

i can help you with that question - you're a bad manager.

[NotSoSober]

I'm waiting for the strike 'em out, throw 'em out.

Statistics show that you have a better chance of scoring with a man on first and 0 outs than a man on 2nd with 1 out.

lol silly me, i thought that was gonna get over franceour's head.

[Tryptamine]

So many hard hit balls to RF tonight.

A Blanco flied out to deep right center field

Hey, I had to step out in the bottom of the 9th. Who gave up the runs to tie it in the 9th? I knew it wasn't good when I turned the radio on and the game was still on.

[Butterscup1679666578]

lol sweet AB

[Little Slide Rooter]

At least we have the top of our lineup coming up if one of our bullpen boobs doesnt blow it. Big if though,

[Keener98]

Welp this games over. Going to be lucky to win 1 game in this series with Lowe and Jurrjens pitching the next 2

[rynefan]

This one was so in the bag.

[TruffleShuffle]

so we ended up with a failed bunt, a bad-hitting shortstop and a backup catcher in that inning. way to think it through, lou.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Here comes Heilman. Lou clearly wants to get back to the hotel.
