Koye Hill is so [expletive] useless. You know had Soto been up there in Hill's situation, Lou probably would have pinch hit Hill for Soto to sacrifice bunt. But when there is a 1-0 count to Hill with a RISP it probably never crossed Lou's mind to pinch hit Soto for Hill there.

How deep was Sori's fly ball?

 

Need a 2 out hit from Colvin now...

 

Extremely shallow, Fuku would have been out by a mile

[jersey cubs fan]

I assume Sori's fly out to CF was shallow if Fukudome couldn't score from 3rd?

 

They said the 2B could have caught it.

Wasn't deep at all, barely out of the infield. And there's no chance Lou will use Soto to PH, til it's absolutely necessary, since he's the back-up catcher

Not very deep at all.

[Keener98]

LOL at letting Colvin face the lefty here. Just completely stupid.

[Guest]

Unexcusable for Soto not to take that at bat instead of Soriano.

 

I don't know why he didn't have one of them bat for Theriot and the other for the pitcher. Lou sent Soriano out initially for Theriot anyway so he was obviously willing to take Theriot out of the game.

[Keener98]

Leftys hit .227 vs Byrdak, and rightys hit .333 vs him, but Lou lets Colvin take the at bat with Soto on the bench hahahaha

I was yelling for him to PH Soto after the passed ball. So dumb.

That must have been a mistake.

...And the AB bears that out as Colvin K's.

I think Theriot has been hiding Lou's dementia meds again.

Theriot probably hadn't finished Lou off yet, so they just sent Soriano out there to have someone in the on deck circle.

Seems like this team's only clutch hits are home runs, which is why we've been horrible with the wind blowing in this year.

[Cubswin11]

Starlin! =D>

[weis21]

damn, I love Castro

[NotSoSober]

Wow, how do you allow Castro to tag up there? hahahaha

[SouthSideRyan]

Description for those not watching?

Fly ball to center, medium depth but Bourn didn't appear to think Castro was actually going to tag up and go so he caught it flat footed.

[Keener98]

Description for those not watching?

 

Flyball hit to short CF and Castro tagged up. Very aggressive base running, and looked like it caught Bourne off guard that he actually tagged up.

[Cubswin11]

I like the strong possibility of the always exciting walk off walk coming up.

[CubColtPacer]

Description for those not watching?

 

Lee hit a medium depth fly ball to center. Bourn caught it flatfooted and Castro who had been a couple steps off retreated to the bag right before the catch and took off. Bourn made a quick one bounce throw but it didn't have enough on it and Castro took third.

 

Now Ramirez was intentionally walked, took second because the Astros infielders were playing in, and then Byrd just now took a walk to load the bases.

[Guest]

Hopefully Fukudome just ends it here. I don't need to see Koyie up there going for his fifth K of the day because Lou refuses to pinch hit for him.

[SouthSideRyan]

He'll pinch hit Jeff Baker for him.

[Cubswin11]

If somehow Hill gets a chance to bat here, Soto sure as [expletive] should be pinch hitting for him
