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

[lowest]

good job there by murton

[brinoch]

Matt Murton should be playing everyday. Great approach tonight.

[Derwood]

Murton could hit .800 vs. lefties and still get benched vs. righties.

 

Sigh... :?

[nikao]

And Murton is batting in the 8 spot because... :?: :?:

[E.J.]

How much longer does Murton have to hit before he takes over Holla's job? The kid is on fire.

[Coach C]

Man, whoever is shreiking needs to stop. It's annoying.

 

Lowry at 95 pitches.

[Fro]

Dang, Murton eats soft-tossing junkballers for lunch.

[Derwood]

5 years

[Blueheart05]

Lowry with 95 pitches through 4 :shock:

[Flames24Rulz]

ill take the groundout Greg if you can pitch 5 more shutout innings :wink:

[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!

[Blueheart05]

Whew, Niekro with a double that looked like a homer

[CubsHawks25]

Always going with the "veteran". Murton and Barrett should have been switched around tonight, or probly just about any night their both in the lineup.

[Fro]

Maddux gives up a double off the wall, would have been a HR any other night.

7th is the only other spot I would want him in. Hairston and Walker should be fixtures at 1-2 and obviously Lee and Ramirez at 4. I like Barrett and Burnitz in the run producing spots at 5-6.

 

He has a good enough approach to hit 8th and not chase pitches. If Neifi were 8th he would never see a pitch in the zone.

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

Barrett has been great when he's batted in the 5th spot and has had a great approach there. Not to mention the significant increase in power between the two.

 

I don't understand the outrage.

[CubsHawks25]

4-1 Redpigeons.

 

The NL West shouldn't even be allowed to field a playoff team this year. SD will be leading their division with a 50-all record. Disgusting! :x

[Coach C]

Come on...

 

DP here, please?

[CubFanPhilly]

The Mets drop another to the Rockies. WOO-HOO!

[Coach C]

Squeeze play.

 

Gollie.

[Blueheart05]

Squeeze play

Exactly. Rolling over the lineup is huge.

 

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

[Flames24Rulz]

geez.

 

that 1 run better not be enough either.

[CubsHawks25]

Why is it the squeeze bunt only works against the Cubs??

 

(ok, I know that isn't true, but it seems like so)
