LOL Lou. My God hes a [expletive] idiot

[Fro]

Votto hits lefties better than righties.

 

Yep, and Dempster had owned him in his career before that AB.

:Facepalm:

[Drew Doughty]

Votto hits lefties better than righties.

 

dempster had thrown like 400 pitches today. he gave up 2 hits in the inning and only hadn't given up the tying run already because of bad baserunning/good defense. marshall is good, regardless of the fact that he's a lefty. it was a stupid move.

death to lou piniella, death to chicago sports

Votto hits lefties better than righties.

 

Marshall gets lefties out better than Dempster.

Did the Blackhawks team plane catch fire on the way home from Vancouver?

The percentage move was still Dempster. He owned Votto up until that point and like I said a lefty has no special advantage against Votto.

[UMFan83]

Votto hits lefties better than righties.

 

Marshall gets lefties out better than Dempster.

 

So it was a tough decision that could have gone either way.

[Soul]

Votto also has 2 HRs in 3 total hits off Demp.

 

Hasn't hit him well, but when he has it has been solid contact

[Fro]

would like to pinch-hit Soto here for Hill... need to score some runs this half-inning.

[Keener98]

Votto hits lefties better than righties.

 

No he doesnt

[Schwarber Fan]

For us, that ends in a groundout

 

For anyone else, that's at least a walk

Should've said hits them well not better.

[Soul]

Plus, a fresh Marshall vs. a tired Demp.

 

To me the smarter move was to bring Marshall.

 

Why get Marshall up at all if he isn't going to use him in that situation?

Hitting them well is one thing, but when the guy MURDERS right handed pitching, the best move is to not let him face the right handed pitcher who has thrown 120 [expletive] pitches. It was moronic, and just more evidence of Lou's complete ineptitude of knowing how to manage a bullpen.

[chitown29]

Let's stick with the pink theme and give Lou a pink slip after the game.

he hits them noticeably worse. so there is a built-in advantage to bringing in marshall. on top of the fact that demp was probably gassed.

 

it's just an awful non-move. there's no justification for it other than typical "gut feeling" garbage.

If a 1-5 roadtrip vs Pitt and Cincy isn't enough to do it, I dont know what is.

And Lous complete lack of trust in the bullpen even with the guys who have been good.

I am increasingly wondering what the point is of having Lou manage this team.

[Keener98]

I really really wish Bob would lay into how bad of a move that was like he does when Soriano screws up. I know he won't but man, you can just tell by what hes said he thinks it was a completely stupid move
