Nice AB for nasty nate

[UMFan83]

Hah, nice ball 4

Obviously all the K's suck, but outside of Lillibridge it's been because they've been willing to go deep into counts. Nice approach.

[Guest]

noice

[jersey cubs fan]

freaking aggressive baserunning.

 

Gained them nothing there

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wow, that ball really carried.

[UMFan83]

Wow that ball carried

[Guest]

Now let's see if the 7-8-9 can manage to get us a run.

[SouthSideRyan]

If Castro and Harper both hit 1.000, but Harper hits all homers and Castro hits all singles, how much more can Harper make before his value is the same?

 

You're forgetting to figure in his +90 UZR

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Lillibridge will find a way to get a triple play out of this.

 

Wait, Valbuena first.

2nd and 3rd 0 outs...yay

 

Valbuena, Lillibridge, Pitcher due up...noooo

[Sammy Sofa]

Mmmmm, Beefy.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Now let's see if the 7-8-9 can manage to get us a run.

Maybe we should just be satisfied that they don't take away any of our runs.

[Andy]

Wow that 63% figure for our hitters in '12 is ghastly.

[Banedon]

Wow, that ball really carried.

 

Wow that ball carried

 

Quit it.

[jersey cubs fan]

what are you doing swinging there?

[jersey cubs fan]

Stewart would have hurt himself there

[Hairyducked Idiot]

At least we've turned the lineup over, barring a Lillibridge DP.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Tough decision here. Do you walk the pitcher to get to the pitcher?

[UMFan83]

I thought buena meant 'good'

[Guest]

in for lillibridge to channel whenever that year was when he hit a bunch of HR

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Tough decision here. Do you walk the pitcher to get to the pitcher?

 

Definitely not. Not with this guy up:

Assuming JD isn't burning all his best on opening day, I think I'm going to like him.

[Banedon]

Maybe Lillibridge could bunt one home? :P
