4/13 Cubs (Z) @ Astros (Rodriguez) 7:05 pm WGN

[Careless]

Now I have to juggle 3 games at once, thanks Quade

Where did the Bulls game go? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Now just do us a favor and mash on that crap ass Astros bullpen.

[Magnetic Curses]

well, at least the hawks are on now.

[NotSoSober]

Quade is [expletive] horrible

[Careless]

Quades inability to tell when his pitcher has had enough strikes again.

 

Can't really chalk this up on Quade yet. Zambrano's been cruising and up until that HR the Astro's offense consisted of some dinky singles, a bunt that refused to go over the line and Colvin not making an easy out.

 

They actually ended up getting the out at second on the Colvin play. Who knows if the Lee would have tagged up and scored from third, though. Either way, there was still going to be the runner on first and Downs hit a HR after so that likely doesn't change much.

 

Still frustrating though.

With Colvin 80 feet behind first and Lee on third?

I don't think this is on Quade. A series of lucky plays for them and unlucky plays for us led up to that HR. Happened in a flash

 

Yeah. They were two completely different situations. Plus Z was only at 90 pitches while Dempster was up around 105.

[Sammy Sofa]

Quade is [expletive] horrible

 

Come on.

 

I've been pissed plenty at him so far, but this is very different from the Dempster games. Up until the HR it would have been stupid to pull Z.

Yeah, no way Lee is sent if Colvin makes that catch.

Found it, thanks... I had to go deeper into my alternate sports channels than I have ever gone before.

The Dempster games are all I need.

That's true. If Barney catches it he would have, though.

 

And either way, he still scores on the home run so it's still 6-5.

[Sammy Sofa]

Rammy's gonna give them some more breathing room in a bit.

Well, that's kind of the point; Barney shouldn't have even been the one trying to make the catch, especially with a guy on 3rd and only 1 out.

[Careless]

What are the odds Quade is free enough in his thinking to flip Marshall and Wood in the 7th/8th based on r/l coming in the inning?

[ctcf]

Wow the rotation has been pretty rough so far this season.

i bet i'm the only one who knows what this means.

 

Did you get to see it, sulley? I only saw the first two parts when it was on OnDemand.

 

i saw the first part ondemand but then my wife made me go to bed.

 

since there's nothing better to talk about, i actually must have watched the first two parts as i remember waddie haddad dying.

[Sammy Sofa]

Pretty nervous about Wood pitching in this game.

[Guest]

Theriot's throw on that play would have been about eight steps late.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Pretty nervous about Wood pitching in this game.

 

If he can get past Lee, he should be good.

I just wish Quade would look at Marshall as the setup guy.

He's a fuckng idiot

To be fair, I think most managers would be that way, sadly. Most of them are going to want/expect their setup guy to have a blow-it-by-them pitch.

[haubrich91]

God, I thought that was gone off the bat.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I thought that was a no doubter, but I guess thats what the camera guys do.

[Guest]

That was much too close for my liking.
