4/11 Cubs (Dempster) @ Astros (Figueroa) 7:05 pm CSN+

[inari]

Just forfeit and save the bullpen.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Mark Grace is pretty much the worst person on the planet, but he did more than hit singles.

I know he had a reputation as a partier, but "worst person on the planet"? I don't remember ever hearing anything about Grace being a bad guy.

Sam Fuld hit for the cycle tonight in Boston

[Little Slide Rooter]

Can we just go to Marshall and leave the junk ballers on the bench?

[Sammy Sofa]

I am so [expletive] furious at Quade right now. This was such an easily avoidable situation that seemingly everyone in the world except for him would have handled.

[inari]

And what am I missing here - why is Marshall not pitching?

[ctcf]

Great idea, Quade. Let's just throw Shark out there and go for the trifecta.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm so glad I didn't jump on the pre-emptive Mike Quade bandwagon.

[Tryptamine]

It's like he's purposely doing the exact opposite of what he preached all off season. Some of these moves are astonishingly boneheaded.

[Soul]

Uh yeah, I was thinking "give Q some time"

 

Now I'm thinking "there might be a good reason he hasn't been given the reins before."

[Mark Priors Calves]

i miss the soriano hop :(

[Yeti]

i miss the soriano hop :(

you are likely the only one

[SouthSideRyan]

It was Michael [expletive] Bourn. You should automatically pull the pitcher in that situation.

[Sammy Sofa]

Use Marshall next inning, you ghoulish walking nightmare.

[sneakypower]

oh, thank goodness.

[Yeti]

Use Marshall next inning, you ghoulish walking nightmare.

:lol:

Sam Fuld hit for the cycle tonight in Boston

His second homer and triple in his 4 year career.

I knew there was a reason he was untouchable all those years.

[UMFan83]

Not watching.... Any reason Dempster was left in the game way too long for the 2nd time in 3 starts?

[Sammys Boombox]

I was hopeful that Quade was going to be a good manager and was going to give him every chance before I became angry with him, but not pitching around McGehee yesterday and running Dempster out there in the 7th tonight were some pretty horrendous moves. Not to mention the SB attempt in the 9th yesterday. Not impressed at all. He seems to be going from the gut instead of the brain. Reminds me of somebody else.

 

Win the game tonight. You can't worry about slightly increasing your chances at a win tomorrow by severely decreasing your chances tonight.

half the bulpen dropped dead in the beginning of the inning and quade was trying to save the rest

[Little Slide Rooter]

That was a waste of an inning.

No cycle. 4-6 2 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR. Great game, but missed the cycle.

[Careless]

ha, CSN+ just cut to commercial thinking Castro went around on a pitch while Len was saying the umpire had called it no swing

[Irrelevant Dude]

Somebody really wanted to go to commercial.
