7/27 Astros (Rodriguez) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 CSN

[Soul]

How can he not make contact with that damn pitch?!?

[Magnetic Curses]

stop trying to make things happen and let them happen.

[Keener98]

cant blame that on lou, it wouldve worked if fontenot could bunt a ball right down the [expletive] middle

 

A guy whos struggling to throw strikes is not a smart decision to try a squeeze. Its dumb

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bradley caught stealing, 2 unassisted, Hoffpauir took third on the play

[XZero771679666304]

Craptastic.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

[expletive] yhou lou you fuckng old [expletive]

[Hall7810]

That would've worked fine.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I am angry.

[WTFCUBS]

Cobs

[Flames24Rulz]

Oh shut the [expletive] up Len. The idea wasn't good.

[Tryptamine]

Really good [expletive] job Lou. Way to bring in the super hot Fontenot.

[Careless]

cant blame that on lou, it wouldve worked if fontenot could bunt a ball right down the [expletive] middle

Yeah, completely failing to bunt a fastball in the strike zone? That was a win if he could manage it

[chasinf5s]

wow im glad we got rid of derosa so that POS could play

[weis21]

there was your fly ball

 

 

chances the astros take the lead on a fox passed ball?

[Brian]

can even score on this douche when he can't throw strikes

[erik316wttn]

Lou......

 

if it wouldn't get me banned I'd be wishing you'd die in a fire. That fly ball would have scored the run if you weren't a [expletive] idiot.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Do you think Lou ever gets tired of the wrong decision always blowing up in his face or has he just grown accustomed to it? What a moron.

[Old Style]

Someone see if Lou bet on Houston tonight.

[Schwarber Fan]

There's no way we're gonna win

 

anyone can steal off Fox now

 

the worst part of this all is that if we were the Cards, Font's bunt would have been perfect

[TysonCBulls423]

Urgh as much as I want to, can't blame Lou there. Pinch hitting Fontenot there was a bad idea in the first place.

[Guest]

Why squeeze when the guy can't throw strikes?

 

Why squeeze period?

[Fred Hornkohl]

[Irrelevant Dude]

Whatever the outcome, this is some of the worst managing I've seen. We could end up bringing Jake Fox into the game to catch without him ever getting an at bat.

And here we go... our best pinch hitter slash worst defender is coming into the game as a defensive replacement without having seen an at bat.

Frankly, I would have let Fox bat and taken my chances that he would walk or hit a sac fly.
