Just a little something to brighten your days...

 

Rich Hill pulled after 2 outs in the first inning, having already given up 3, left with the bases loaded.

Why would anyone want Rich to fail?

 

Just kind of found it funny that after he goes and dominates in his last outing, he can't escape the first today. I realize we get a "better" prospect if he does well...but at this point with us playing the way we are, I'm looking for anything remotely entertaining.

I don't find anything entertaining about it. Rich didn't do anything for us to want to see him fail. If anything Lou and Larry failed Rich with the quick hook they had on him.

 

Obviously it's not just Lou and Larry. The guy struggled with it in the minors at times (his control) and now it's on a totally different level in an entirely different organization.

 

Some people need to loosen up a bit. I'm not "rooting" for him to fail. I don't WANT to see him fail, but I'm not gonna go cry about it when he does. He's not a Cub anymore.

Great AB Blanco

[ConstableRabbit]

Nice AB!

[sweetpeteman]

Way to work the walk, Blanco.

[Hall7810]

Another bunt, Lou?

[Tryptamine]

Stop bunting.

[Soul]

When you can't hit just try to work a walk

[ConstableRabbit]

Time to waste the BB by having Soto try to bunt

[JonJayCutler]

Stop giving away outs!

[weis21]

Oh God, Brenly speaks as if it would perhaps be a good move to hit and run right here.

 

No, Bob, it wouldn't be.

 

Edit: Although bunting in this situation is just as stupid.

[ConstableRabbit]

STOP TRYING TO BUNT WITH SOTO :evil:

[Hall7810]

SOTO CAN'T BUNT! STOP IT LOU!

[Butterscup1679666578]

for fucks sake i cannot handle this sac bunt crap anymore

[Flames24Rulz]

Thank God he bunted those two foul. Swing away.

[Guest]

Lou needs to stop with the bunting.

[Careless]

that was the one to hit :?

[ConstableRabbit]

Ok time to bunt with Soriano

[CHCinIC]

that groundout nets the same as if geo could put a bunt down.

Base hit here plz Fonzie

[weis21]

now would be a nice time for Soriano to remember how to hit.

[Hall7810]

OBA below .300 for Soriano

[Butterscup1679666578]

lol omg his obp is under .300

 

is this corey patterson?

[Outshined_One]

DOUBLE SWITCH!

[CHCinIC]

Theriot is gonna come through here for us.

[Tryptamine]

I hadn't noticed our leadoff hitter's OBP was sub .300 before that walk. Sooo depressing.
