4/28 Nationals (Atilano) v. Cubs (Dempster) 1:20cst CSN

Byrd has had 3 terrible at bats today my God

 

Typical Byrd at bats. Most of his big hits this year have come with him in either bad counts or just hacking away. He's never going to be a very patient or "pretty" hitter.

[illiniguy]

according to espn gamecast there is a 74.1% chance of scoring with the bases loaded and 1 out. unless you're the cubs in which case it's closer to 50%.

Has to be less than that it seems.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Way to swing at ball 4 fonty.

[Keener98]

Heaven forbid you actually take the damn walk Fontenot. Quit swinging at ball 4

[Sammy Sofa]

You ugly midget.

[Schwarber Fan]

...

[illiniguy]

Mike Fontenot is garbage.

Twice

[Sammy Sofa]

Mike Fontenot is garbage.

 

Hahahahahaaah!

[Soul]

Hard to believe the level of failure with bases loaded from this damn club.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Kelly johnson on a 1 year deal is sounding really good right now..

[laurens]

Mike Fontenot is garbage.

 

So far this season he's not.

 

EDIT: never mind, didn't see that OBP. He's not fantastic, but he certainly isn't garbage.

Im thinking the time has come to call up Castro and move Theriot to 2nd. Our 2nd basemen have an OPS around 680

[TruffleShuffle]

what the hell happened to fontenot's sneaky power? i didn't expect him to keep slugging over .500 like he did in '08, but now he's just a punch and judy hitter.

It's failures like that which make me understand why word around the league is to not panic against the Cubs no matter what -- just let the Cubs defeat themselves. They usually do.

Mike Fontenot is garbage.

 

Hahahahahaaah!

Once that batting average returns to normal he will be the same piece of garbage he's always been.

Yeah, more 2 for 3 days like this will really hobble him.

[Keener98]

GET SOME [expletive] RUNS!

I was going to post that, but I figured I would get lectured from you or Drew.

 

By the way, I am only kidding.

is that really the word around the league?

[Soul]

I hate feeling like our starter can't give up 3 runs or it isn't good enough.

 

Good Lord start getting some damn runs you fools.

I know what you are saying, but like I said our 2nd base platoon has an OPS around 680, thats terrible. Fontenot has shown zero power this year, and almost zero patience. We really need to upgrade that position.

trevor hoffman gave up a grand slam last night to ryan doumit; the first batter hoffman faced in the ninth inning today with a one-run lead was ryan doumit - result, another home run.

[Schwarber Fan]

nice swing, Koyie

[Ballgame64]

Dempster robbed of a possible double.
