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

[Careless]

Good job, guys.

[abuck1220]

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T USE YOUR CATCHER THAT IS HITTING .360 TO BAT EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE TO PUT HIM IN THE GAME NEXT INNING.

[Prizefight]

I really don't want to wish death on someone, but Lou makes it so tempting.

 

 

I think the gods of karma would understand.

[Keener98]

4 straight [expletive] balls and Theriot swings 1st pitch lol

[Old Style]

How the [expletive] do you swing at the first pitch after the pitcher just walked the previous batter on four straight pitches???????

[illiniguy]

I'm so glad the scrappy Cajuns refuse to take walks or show any type of patience. He just walked Nady on four pitches.

[TruffleShuffle]

go [expletive] yourself lou. getting rid of him is even more important than getting rid of hendry at this point.

[cheapseats]

4 straight [expletive] balls and Theriot swings 1st pitch lol

 

In fairness, he did hit the ball all the way into the outfield.

[apete6]

1-12 with RISP. What a steaming pile of [expletive]. Glad Chad Tracy got that opportunity and not Geo or Soriano. [expletive] you Lou.

[UMFan83]

So Lou just burned 4 guys, Hill, Tracy, Nady and Soto, yet the best hitter did not bat. Has he not seen Soto's hitting stats?

 

No....basically Lou didn't come through for him 1 or 2 different times in August 2008, now Lou will never trust him in that situation ever again.

[NotSoSober]

Quality at-bat there for Theriot after Nady drew 4 straight balls :banghead:

[Sever82]

4 straight [expletive] balls and Theriot swings 1st pitch lol

 

And you're surprised by that, he does it every time. Can't wait for Castro, i can't stand theriot and how thinks he's a good hitter. Got i hate this team, especially Lou and hendry. Hows that Grabow contract looking.

[NotSoSober]

What the [expletive]? Now Soto is in? Go [expletive] yourself, Lou

[JonnyRed]

As clutchless as it comes...I'm not sure how we get the lead-off hitter on in 6 of 8 innings, yet score only 2 runs......against the Nationals!

[TruffleShuffle]

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T USE YOUR CATCHER THAT IS HITTING .360 TO BAT EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE TO PUT HIM IN THE GAME NEXT INNING.

 

or the outfielder who is hitting .351 with an OPS over 1.000 in the last two weeks.

[illiniguy]

What the [expletive]? Now Soto is in? Go [expletive] yourself, Lou

Who else did you think would catch?

[Andy]

What the [expletive]? Now Soto is in? Go [expletive] yourself, Lou

Tracy pinch-hit for Hill. Not Soto.

 

It may be up there with the dumbest managing I've ever seen in my life.

[RedFlash]

I didn't know we were playing against the New York Yankees and they have CC Sabathia on the mound........Oh wait....we're not.

 

I like to see the Cubs try this thing called.......hitting.

[Magnetic Curses]

managers, by rule, are just bad and will generally micromanage and do the wrong thing. lou is no different. he can't get out of his team's way, either.

 

the best team would have no manager, there would just be a computer that spits out what to do.

[JonnyRed]

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T USE YOUR CATCHER THAT IS HITTING .360 TO BAT EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE TO PUT HIM IN THE GAME NEXT INNING.

 

or the outfielder who is hitting .351 with an OPS over 1.000 in the last two weeks.

 

Maybe we just want to prove to everyone that Tracy should go when Castro comes up...

[Careless]

What the [expletive]? Now Soto is in? Go [expletive] yourself, Lou

Yes, he pinch hit for Hill with Tracy, a man hitting .141

[cheapseats]

What the [expletive]? Now Soto is in? Go [expletive] yourself, Lou

Who else did you think would catch?

 

Jake Fox.

[Careless]

So Tracy is at about 40% of Soto's BA, OBP, and SLG

[NotSoSober]

What the [expletive]? Now Soto is in? Go [expletive] yourself, Lou

Tracy pinch-hit for Hill. Not Soto.

 

It may be up there with the dumbest managing I've ever seen in my life.

I guess it was just such an idiotic move, I still can't understand what he's doing

[Ballgame64]

1 for 12 with runners in scoring position after 0 for 8 last night. The starting pitchers should revolt! I really wish a member of the media would ask Lou what he was thinking there. But the answer is simple, Lou trusts veterans more and Soto hasn't earned his trust. Screw you Lou. The Nationals have 4 damn hits and have drawn one walk, yet they are leading going to the bottom of the 9th.
