07/24 Houston (Lyles) @ CUBS (Garza) 1:20 CDT, WGN TV

[ER Cub]

Why not use Campana there?

[dfnowak]

Besides missing the pitch entirely, there's your stereotypical Cubs bunt attempt.

[Illini Iceman]

Exact same situation earlier in the game with Garza up Quade tried the sacrifice and they easily threw out Soto at third. Not only does he try the same thing again with Barney but he waits to bring in the pinch runner until after they make the first out. It would take almost a perfect bunt by Barney to get Soto to third with both corner infielders playing in. Really dumb game management.

[UMFan83]

I wonder if they are having Grabow warming up in the pen as a threat for the hitters to get the job done now.

[UMFan83]

Sending Castro against one of the worst strikeout hitters in the league? Also, terrible jump.

[Illini Iceman]

I wonder if they are having Grabow warming up in the pen as a threat for the hitters to get the job done now.

 

Not to beat a dead horse, but still no sign of Wood and he hasn't pitched since 7/20. Samardzija and Marmol in their third straight day of pitching and now Grabow all before Wood even warms up.

[Keener98]

Hunter Pence seems like he misplays a ball at Wrigley everytime the Astros come to town.

[Sammy Sofa]

If the Cubs can't win here I just may crap my pants.

[Sammy Sofa]

Urge to crap...rising.

[thefranchise]

Campana helping Barney's OBP

[illiniguy]

The astros want that first pick more than our guys.
