Sombrero for Russell

 

Does this system wide development that theo has developed have a section about not striking out all the time?

2 pinch hitters = 1 strikeout

 

Bring back the Dusty Dugout Dice!!!

[TruffleShuffle]

We get thru this 1/2 inning we ARE scoring in the 11th....

DEFINITELY INCORRECT BUT FUN THEORY

 

russell has a slider speed bat and great approach

 

crushes everyone in the low levels where everyone sucks and can't throw hard

 

as he advances, he realizes he is overmatched by good fastballs and has no choice but to be super aggressive on anything he can handle and keeps hitting well but his walk rate plummets

 

reaches major leagues, everyone has a good fastball, russell is screwed

[TruffleShuffle]

what a pathetic leadoff single.

[DiamondMind]

Brennamans ??? You telling me they paired up Marty & Thom ???

 

The entire family is awful in any context. That better?

 

True enough, but it doesn't answer my question.

 

They have in the past, not tonight. Just Thom.

shocker

[Andy]

Well, that's definitely going to be the winning run the way this week's going.

[ARCubsFan]

When was the last time we had a double play?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Russell with the golden baez

 

How many brettjacksons is that?

[treebird]

remember a week ago when we made fun of the reds for not using their closer in a tie game in extra innings on the road

[HendryWallet]

When was the last time we had a double play?

Couple innings ago

[Fred Hornkohl]

As near as I can tell..... that was the first sac bunt against the CUBS all year.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[DiamondMind]

Couple innings ago

 

whoosh

[Andy]

remember a week ago when we made fun of the reds for not using their closer in a tie game in extra innings on the road

Rondon is probably injured too to be fair

[Banedon]

remember a week ago when we made fun of the reds for not using their closer in a tie game in extra innings on the road

Maybe rondon is dead too

i forgot this part:

 

billy beane realizes russell is a lost cause, giggles as he tells theo he's barry larkin

[Ram1380]

Yep....I don't get it at all.

 

Why do we get a manager that is supposed to be all that..... only for him to come here and decide to try and "out smart" the game at every turn(so far).

[TruffleShuffle]

please do not let brandon phillips do anything good.

[UMFan83]

remember a week ago when we made fun of the reds for not using their closer in a tie game in extra innings on the road

 

He's probably saving them to bat in the 19th inning
