5/17 Phillies (Halladay) @ Cubs (Volstad) - 7:05 pm CDT, WGN

Yay, let's bunt in the first inning with a .360 OBP player!

 

That may be his OBP right now, but he's not a .360 OBP player.

pfft. next you're going to say his .324 BA isn't sustainable, either.

What OBP should someone have so that bunting in that situation is advantageous?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-4 when they execute a sac bunt.... 7-18 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Are people really complaining about Campana bunting? That's how he gets half his hits.

meh. a slap hitter against a great pitcher, it's not infuriating as most bunts.

[El Duderino]

Volstad is the coolest!

[Andy]

There's really no reason to even watch a Volstad start.

[Soul]

Reasons to give Volstad another start are growing increasingly scarce.

[TruffleShuffle]

volstad makes me want to go up there and take a few cuts.

[chuckywang]

That Zambrano trade is looking better all the time ..... for the Marlins.

[Smack]

This has got to be his last turn in the rotation, right?

[Ballgame64]

Two more bad innings should equal a trip to Iowa for Volstad. I believe he has one option left. If he doesn't, his groin better be bothering him like Lendy Castillo's :^o

[El Duderino]

Is there really any reason to give Volstad another start? Wood looked pretty decent against the Dodgers. I know his AAA stats are pretty crappy, but at least he has the PCL excuse.

[Ballgame64]

Speaking of Iowa. Anthony Rizzo with his 14th home run (2 run shot) and Vitters his 4th home run tonight as the Iowa Cubs lead 4-2 in the bottom of the 5th. Brett Jackson is 2 for 2 as well.

Would someone please tell me why DeJesus keeps trying to steal? He is not good at it at all.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-19 when they allow 4 runs or more.... 12-3 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

0 steals, caught 4 times. LOL.

Did Casey Coleman just retire 6 Phillies in a row ???? :shock:

You know you're bad when Casey Coleman is pitching better than you.

When Casey Coleman starts to look good to you...... you know you've slipped through a wormhole into one of them parallel universes, eh?

[Hawk4Hall]

Coleman > Volstad and that is sad.

Good Lord !! We finally got Ruiz to make an out !!

[Fred Hornkohl]
