[chasinf5s]

wow, Lou is really a moron with not putting in a PH

[SouthSideRyan]

that's gotta be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. :shock:

 

On both sides.

[Careless]

What are you doing Cecil?

I'm reminded of the time the Pirates manager brought in a righty to face Remlinger after Dusty had brought him in to face a lefty

[Fred Hornkohl]

K. Hill walked (intentionally)

[kujay]

Gamecast says Z just took that AB. It's broken, right? No way that happened.

[Brian]

and he doesn't stay in, awesome.

[Keener98]

that was anticlimactic

 

 

Well thank our ignorant manager for that. What the [expletive] Lou? He came out of the [expletive] game, and you dont PH for him? Are you [expletive] kidding me?

[C.C.]

Wait! And he took Z out! Wow, that was stupid

[Little Slide Rooter]

Aaron Heilman? really?

[Irrelevant Dude]

And now Zambrano is out of the game??? That is inexcusable.

[Cubswin11]

WTF Lou!?! Bring in Fox there, it's especially stupid because you know Z is out of the game this inning

[Old Style]

Ugh, Lou you soapdropping moron.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 47-31 when they draw 2 or more walks.... 4-14 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Tryptamine]

Now Z is out, wtf Lou?

[kujay]

Is there any reasonable explanation for that move? Seriously.

[Flames24Rulz]

Lou's usually good for one stupid decision every couple of games and there it was.

[C.C.]

Might be the worst move Lou has done in 3 years...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kata, pinch hitting for Quintero, popped out to second base

[Soul]

Crank up that Lou's an idiot thread boys.

[Old Style]

Is there any reasonable explanation for that move? Seriously.

Senility

[kujay]

Lou's usually good for one stupid decision every couple of games and there it was.

 

This one is pretty epic. It's one thing to maybe leave a pitcher in one batter too long, that sort of thing.

 

This is just senility.

[Careless]

What are you doing Cecil?

I'm reminded of the time the Pirates manager brought in a righty to face Remlinger after Dusty had brought him in to face a lefty

Quoting this again to point out how long it's been since the last time I've seen a pair of managerial decisions (one from each team at essentially the same time) that stupid

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why isn't Cooper letting Wandy Rodriguez hit for himself before removing him from the game? Isn't that what smart managers do?
