7/18 Cubs (Williams) @ Reds (Claussen) 6:10 pm, CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 17-13 when they execute a sac bunt, 29-32 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Brian]

And there's Murton showing off his speed.

 

If they get a bigger lead, I'd like to see them let him lose and try and steal. I'd say with only 3 runs just play it safe.

[badger1679666666]

But Since Dusty REFUSES to play him versus Righty's, he can just attribute it to "putting him in situations to succeed"

 

:roll:

[Coach C]

Murton needs a nickname... and no, the human rain delay doesn't count. It's way too long.

 

I like to call him Big Murt.

[OleMissCub]

how about "the Stepchild" or "Carrot Top" for Murton

[Coach C]

Nice sac by Williams. That's 2 sacs by him today, isn't it?

Go CUBS !!

 

Did you ever find W/L stats for when MVLee homers? I know you said you were going to look into that.

i call him good young player who has the misfortune on being on one of Dusty Baker's teams.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Unlucky for Hairston.

[Brian]

Jose Macias says they call him Naranga (Spanish for orange).

[badger1679666666]

Nice sac by Williams. That's 2 sacs by him today, isn't it?

 

First one wasn't a bunt if I remember correctly.

[Brian]

Rook shows inexperience.... that probably cost him a start or two.

[Omar]

Murton caught.

[Blueheart05]

Rookie mistake: he has to make sure the ball goes through...

[Coach C]

Yeah, but he did move a runner IIRC?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Murton must've thought that hop was going to take the ball over Claussen.

[Coach C]

Go CUBS !!

 

Did you ever find W/L stats for when MVLee homers? I know you said you were going to look into that.

 

He did.

 

CUBS are 16-7 when Derrek Lee hits at least 1 HR.... 30-38 when he doesn't

[Omar]

Walker with a 2 run blast!!

Yep, it was essentially a sacrifice, but isn't scored as one I don't think.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

as brenley said, ball to your left, take off. if the pitcher gets it, you're in trouble. *shrugs*

[Jon]

And there's #2 for Walker!

[Blueheart05]

Todd with the 2-run jack!

[Brian]

WALKAH!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flames24Rulz]

Walkah X2!!!

[Mizzou]
