7/26 Giants (Lowry) vs Cubs (Maddux) 7:05 PM WGN

[CubsHawks25]

Its great what Murton is doing, but starting him in the 8 spot is as bad as not playing him most of the time, Dusty!!

 

Sandwiched between Neifi and Maddux? HA! His hits mean nothing unless he can get up with someone on base!

top of the order next inning, it is somewhat good to have the pitcher make the last out

 

Exactly. Rolling over the lineup is huge.

 

The only other spot I would move him to in this lineup is 7th.

 

I'm just ranting. Barrett has had some really ugly hacks tonight and Murt is 2-2.

Reason #41,238 why Baker should be fired.

The Mets just lost to the Rockies (again) 4-3

I'm just ranting. Barrett has had some really ugly hacks tonight and Murt is 2-2.

 

And Barrett drove the ball in his last AB just as hard as Murton did on his double.

 

I'm sure if Dusty could make out the lineup card knowing what each player would do in each of his AB's it might be different.

You can't just disagree with every decision in hindsight because of how things turn out.

[Blueheart05]

Come on Todd

[CubsHawks25]

Maybe its just because I'm in rant-mode, but Hairston has been Corey-like lately (IMO). Not getting on with any kind of frequency at all. He at least makes contact, but still its all outs in the end.

[Coach C]

Walker walks.

 

Come on D-Lee.

[Flames24Rulz]

Walker walks.

 

cmon Derrek.

[Blueheart05]

Nice Walk!

 

Lee's next

 

104 pitches for Lowry

Yeah, not to mention his 4 hits the other night.

 

Good Lord.

[Blueheart05]

Fassero = RBI opps

Wow. My mind just totally shut off then, cause for the life of me, I honestly don't remember those.

Top of the order doing their jobs tonight.

[Blueheart05]

Derrek flies out.

[CubsHawks25]

Here's to hoping against hope that this is Lowry's last inning. We just can not solve soft-tossing lefties. We can get hits and scratch across runs here and there, but rarely do we jump on them.

[Flames24Rulz]

i hope that was Lowry's last pitch.

 

this team can not hit offspeed pitchers.

[Blueheart05]

UGH, Rammy strikes out in consecutive ABs

 

I'm glad Lowry's on his way out

 

114 pitches

[Blueheart05]

Haha, White Sox lost 7-1 to the Royals. :P :shock:

[rickrolled]

Lowry's at 114 pitches. He's gotta be done.

[Sarcastic]

Lowry's at 114 pitches. He's gotta be done.

 

Is Felipe Alou the kind of manager that pays attention to pitchcounts?

Overall I agree but I have a feeling that Mr Lowry was also fortunate that the weather conditions kept a couple of the balls in the park.

 

vizquel is 3,001

[Omar]

Who is available in the Cubs pen?

[Flames24Rulz]

Lowry's at 114 pitches. He's gotta be done.

he did have Fassero up in the pen, so i would assume he does pay attention to pitch counts.

[Blueheart05]

Nope! I know Jason Schmidt's pitched 150 in the past.
