[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-15 when the opponent steals a base.... 19-9 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Keener98]

Hadnt seen this anywhere, but apparently Z missed the team flight and the team is pissed.

WONDERFUL!

[squally1313]

Un effing real

[DiamondMind]

Seriously?

[Little Slide Rooter]

die Kevin Gregg, preferably slowly and painfully.

[Tryptamine]

I expected nothing less; it's amazing that a team can have a 5-0 lead with a no hitter going in the 7th inning and still lose.

[wastra]

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.

 

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.

 

Really? I'm interested to see those statistics.

A little dated, but still works...

 

 

Ummm...just out of curiosity...doesn't that probability of scoring runs with a man on first and no outs also include instances where the runner is then sacrificed to second? I mean, that table is runs scored through the end of the inning, not on that at bat, so those probabilities can't be compared because they don't isolate innings where the leadoff hitter reaches first but ISN'T sacrified.

[Keener98]

Haha [expletive] Lou and [expletive] this bullpen. This team needs changes made because its going nowhere as it stands right now

[Hall7810]

A veteran pitcher = good. At least in Bob's book

[TruffleShuffle]

and a fine decision not walking one of the best hitters in the game. another master job by our fearless leader.

[Little Slide Rooter]

what a way to start a new month

[TMan92]

For a guy that overmanages, he let's Heilman pitch to Chipper there. At least I will spend a lot of time outside this summer instead of watching these losers.

I hope Hendry and Lou are happy with this bullpen they've put together. Great job running off Eyre and Wuertz you douchebags.

 

Oh, and Milton Bradley sucks. At this point, I hope he's out for the year so his 2011 option doesn't vest.

[rynefan]

There is absolutely NO WAY, ever, EVER that a team should lose a game like this. NO WAY. Total momentum killer for the road trip, and yeah, the last road trip was so freakin' fantastic. This team is terrible.

[NotSoSober]

Pitching to Jones? The Lou is an idiot 2 thread will be rocking after tonight.

He's a total joke, and in the same division with one Mr. Trevor Hoffman, we're SCREWED.

[Soonernation]

Wow

[JonJayCutler]

We need a bullpen arm or four before the deadline.
