just PLEASE dont hit into a DP Barrett.

[jaydee]

Ramirez must really be hurt...:\

not good

[PackLandVA]

This is a terrific example of why Baker is not a good manager. So either Aramis is hurt worse than we know,.................

 

So we really don't know why he's not pinch hitting then.

I absolutely hate Barrett hitting with men in scoring position. It seems like he doesn't realize the pressure is on the pitcher instead of him. He better be patient.

WHY THE HELL IS MACIAS HITTING? Wow. Just wow. Unbelievable. Hey Dusty, I hear Darren is swinging pretty well lately. Why don't you let him hit next.

 

Have you considered the possibility that A-Ram's quad is still hurting him and he is unavailable?

 

Ramirez is on deck.

[USSoccer]

Game ending DP for Hollandsworth here?

That's my thought - I disagree with Dusty plenty, but I'm sure if Ramirez was good to pinch hit there he would have done it.

[ManCrushOnNomar]

I wouldn't take Blanco out as hot as he's been.

 

Barrett's been the unclutch guy recently.

Ramirez on deck.

 

No DP ball here Barrett, be patient.

Yes, I have. There are people on the bench other than Ramirez that hit better than Jose Macias.

[USSoccer]

I don't like the thought of leaving your best hitter until the last possible moment. Barret better not DP...

Earth to Cubs Fans, Earth to Cubs Fans,

 

Maybe, just maybe, Aramis asked for the whole day off, because he's hurting. That includes pinch-hitting.

Perhaps not.

 

Ramirez is on deck.

 

If its true that he is on deck, this is why people presume the worst with Dusty.

Barrett's been the unclutch guy recently.

 

You mean the other night when he tied the game with a HR or how he just tied the game now?

Barrett is hitting .338 with 5 hrs with runners in scoring position this year.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Oh thank god

Come on Aramis!!

[abuck1220]

doesn't it always seem like the cubs pull out miracles when baker is at his worst strategy-wise?
