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

[Keener98]

So apparently Juice became short and hot.

 

 

He threw out the 1st pitch. I thought he was singing also, but apparently not.

 

Yeah, I saw Benn and McGee there too.

 

Yea, who was the white guy with them?

 

It looked like Doug Pilcher

 

Yup thats who it was. I couldnt think who it was.

[Old Style]

A ground ball to the right side or a really deep fly ball to the right side are the only ways he moves up a runner. You think it's easy for a player, even one as skilled as Milton Bradley to put a ball wherever he wants it against one of the better pitchers in the NL.

 

After all you were on traveling all stars when you were 10 with Joey Santucci's dad as your coach.

Never did I say it was easy, but our hitters never seem to make the little plays like that. It's what good teams do. Sure it's not going to work all the time, but it's good baseball to try and drive the ball to the right side with a runner on 2nd on no outs.

 

No it's stupid baseball to give up one of your precious few outs to set up a sac fly situation for a guy who doesn't make contact.

You're not really good at reading, are you? I never said anything about giving up an out. You can try to drive the ball to the right side for a hit. I believe the rules still allow for that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Baker doubled to right field

[Schwarber Fan]

Anyone else think Baker's swing looks like Michael Barrett's?

[Coach C]

lmao. Of course, 2 outs, and Baker gets a double. Typical.

[C.C.]

Wow! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flames24Rulz]

lol at walking Hill to get to Z. Even if it works, it's still stupid.

[Brian]

lol at the look of terror on her face there

[Butterscup1679666578]

thanks astros. even if this doesnt work out i'll take Z over hill 100% of the time

[laurens]

LOL walking Hill to get to Z :lol:

[Keener98]

Pinch hit with Fox damnit. Come on Lou, dont be stupid

[Little Slide Rooter]

Yeah, someone else should be hitting here, but whatever.

[C.C.]

Make'em pay Z!

[cubbieblue12]

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

[Irrelevant Dude]

Yeah I know Zambrano is a good hitting pitcher, but doesn't Fox give us a lot better chance to score the run?

[Butterscup1679666578]

fuh

[CyHawk_Cub]

What are you doing Cecil?

[Coach C]

Epic.

 

Fail.

[Careless]

Z may not be a worse hitter than hill (may), but he's at about 100 pitches. You use a PH there, Lou

[Little Slide Rooter]

Brilliant Lou, have your ace with over 100 pitches hit so you can get a cheer from the crowd.

[Keener98]

No reason to let Z hit right there. I dont care how "good" of a hitter he is, Fox is better. Come on

[inari]

That's the dumbest decision I can ever recall Lou making.

[Old Style]

Wonderful.

[weis21]

that was anticlimactic
