7/3 Cubs (Zambrano) vs. Nationals (Drese) 1:20 PM, WGN

Let's see if they'll boo Corey as a pinch-runner

if he gets picked off or thrown out trying to steal you know they will.

[Chris]

ha ha, Dubois with the stall tactic

[chicubs]

You gotta think that corey's gonna steal.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jon, now tell me again how slipping a guy with a .381 OBP in ahead of Ramirez is gonna statistically lower his chances to drive in more runs, eh?

Because Derrek Lee's OBP is .457.

 

.... and he leads the world in home runs, no ?

1 every 12 ABs, yes. But what about the other 11? If you were to take HRs out of the equation, Lee's OBP is still going to be higher than Burny's.

 

Lee & Burnitz combined get on base more than Lee alone, don't they ???

[Neuby]

Corey sucks

[Outshined_One]

When you run on a guy who leads baseball in CS%, you're taking your chances.

[chicubs]

[illiniguy]

glad we got rid of barrett to try and steal off of schneider. :roll: More brilliant managing. God someone please hire John Kruk to manage. :lol:

The problem is there is usually two outs when Lee is up to bat.

[chicubs]

Booing the call, not Corey

 

I think both.

[Flames24Rulz]

What a throw...

 

i agree, Schneider has an arm..

[Derwood]

Dusty managed to burn 3 bench guys in one at-bat:

 

1. Corey pinch runs for Barrett

2. Dubois pinch hits for Dempster

3. Blanco now must come in for Barrett.

[chicubs]

Am I smelling a "Trade for Schneider BandWGN"? :)...kidding, btw.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I can't believe some of you think that's Corey's fault. Ridiculous.

 

And it's a good thing we have Blanco for the rest of the game.

[Brian]

Well, we are in extras, time to tighten up and not waste guys.
