What a bunch of crap!

 

 

Hollandsworth PH'ing for Murton!

 

Are you on drugs?

 

He was pinch hitting for Rusch.

 

Christ, you're hollandsworth hating is getting old, especially when it's so blatantly ridiculous and wrong. There are enough situations to get on Hollandsworth and Dusty about, you don't need to be incorrect to do it.

[cubsfromMD]

i could go for a hairston triple here!

[Fred Hornkohl]

What a bunch of crap!

 

 

Hollandsworth PH'ing for Murton!

 

Hollandsworth pinch hit for Rusch. Murton was already out of the game.

[XZero771679666304]

And he strikes out. At least if Murton made an out, he would of probably made contact or at least take a pitch. Hollandsworth needs to RIDE THE PINE!

 

Murton was pulled an inning ago.

[mhuber92211]

someone please help me understand why it matters if we barely win or blow the other team out. Isn't a win a win?

 

Agreed, although a blowout may be a bit easier on the ticker :lol:

 

true but how fun would it be?

[Sarcastic]

Did we just sacrafice a guy when we are 3 runs down? :roll:

 

No, I'm pretty sure Neifi was bunting for a hit there.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

You guys didn't hear? There's a new rule. From this day on, a sacrifice is worth 3 runs.

[UMFan83]

Haha Corey pops up on the first pitch. Why is he leading off again??

 

Oh wait thats Hairston

[cubsfaninfla]

What a bunch of crap!

 

 

Hollandsworth PH'ing for Murton!

for Rusch

 

Well, it's still a bunch of crap that he's even in the game.

[Blueheart05]

Someone needs to remind Jerry that he isn't a power hitter. He shoiuld always look to take pitches and stop trying to pull everything.

[Fred Hornkohl]

BOTTOM OF THE SEVENTH INNING

 

Worrell in to pitch for San Francisco

Burnitz doubled to right field

Perez sacrificed, 1-3, Burnitz to third

Hollandsworth, pinch hitting for Rusch, struck out swinging

Gerut walked

Hairston popped out to second base

 

0 runs, 1 hits, 0 errors, 2 men left on base

 

           1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9    R  H E
Arizona    1 0 0 0 0 0 2        3 10 0 
CUBS       0 0 0 0 0 0 0        0  5 2 

 

Home runs: Arizona: Tracy (14), Gonzalez (13)

I think Neifi was bunting for a hit, and he nearly got it.

 

Yeah it was a drag bunt trying to get on base and he was out by a half step. Not a bad play. At the worst it moves the runner to 3rd with only one out and at best he beats it out and we got guys at the corners with nobody out. If Hollandsworth executes we at least chip one run off that lead...

Good lord, overreact much? He made a mistake. At any rate, we probably had a better chance for Rusch to drive the run in there.

[JC]

Why PH a .252 lefty in Hollandsworth, when you have a .296 lefty in Walker on the bench? Does Walker have worse match-up numbers? Is Walker hurt?

[LoneStarCubFan]

I was just going to point out that the only other LH option on the bench was Macias so using Holly was a good idea in that situation.

 

Then I remembered Walker was also on the bench.

 

ugh.

 

Goody, Rem in to face a lefty to start the inning. This will end well.

[Blueheart05]

Good job Jody!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

JO-DEEE!

[muntjack]

THAT was a diving catch. WOW.

[JGalt73]

Good job Jody!

 

Gerut/Murton platoon?

[gflore34]

He's got Walker heck, even the Oompaa Loompaa (Macias) on the bench and chooses to go with a someone who hasn't hit a fair ball in his last 4-5 ABs?

[jdelaney5150]

The 2nd guessing on this board is getting really old. There were no posts after the double-switch was made, only after Hollandsworth struck out. Nobody complained about Ohman being in for the 2nd inning until after the Gonzalez HR.

 

Yes, the Cubs are frustrating right now. It's very easy to see that this team is very, very tired right now. Playing in that heat in St. Louis took a lot out of them and it is showing. I look for them to have a lot more energy after the off day Monday. Hopefully, it's after no worse than a 2-2 weekend.

[XZero771679666304]

Saw a lot of that from Gerut in Cleveland.

This isn't the first post. I just got sick of it. Every post somehow rips Holly. There is plenty of ripping to go around.

FWIW - I called Ohman's 2nd inning b4 the HR. :cry:
