So why are we mad at Gregg when the inning should have been over?

 

He still served up a meatball to a all power no discipline hitter, regardless of whether the inning should have been over. Seriously, a player like Francoeur should never be able to beat you with the game on the line.

[kjfoster 1553]

Wow. Just, wow.

[Outshined_One]

So why are we mad at Gregg when the inning should have been over?

 

Throwing a meatball down the middle to someone who swings at anything close to the plate comes immediately to mind.

 

If you're going to rip on Soto, Marmol's awesome 8th also deserves mention, as does Lee's dropped ball that got that mess going.

To bad the inning wasn't over, but that doesn't excuse a crap pitch that blows the game.

[Twiggy]

goodjob team

[Little Slide Rooter]

This is gonna be a team loss. We can't field. We can't hit. We can't pitch. We just aren't very good.

no, we can pretty much chalk it up solely to the pen.

[UMFan83]

He seems to groove fastballs at least three times per appearance.

 

Probably because he's behind in the count to almost every hitter he faces.

Yeah they screwed the pooch, but come on Lee doesn't catch the Theiot lollipop. Soto continues to blow.

God must really hate Cubs fans. :banghead:

[erik316wttn]

Wow. Just, wow.

 

You're surprised? I'd have been surprised if Francouer didn't homer there.

and another bonehead managerial move

[UMFan83]

What kind of closer quality pitchers are out there for the Cubs to look at in July?

 

Please don't say Kerry Wood.

[Outshined_One]

Can we get a do-over with the bullpen?

 

I have absolutely no faith in anyone pitching in there right now.

[Andy]

Closer quality or better quality than Kevin Gregg?

[RynoRules]

Hendry shopping list:

 

1) a MIF'er or LF'er (if Fonzy goes to 2B)

2) Relievers. Lots of them.

[illiniguy]

We aren't gonna touch Gonzalez.
