Somewhere, Matt Murton's mother sobs quietly

[Outshined_One]

Macias?

 

Oh boy.

[woodprior04]

Biggest part of the game and Dusty pinch hits Jose Macias. Should've just left Jerome in there if you were gonna do that dusty.

[chicubs]

Macias?

 

Oh boy.

 

Hes batting .287.

[jjgman21]

That was one first pitch that I would have liked to see him swing at.

 

Not so much the second one...

 

nor the third and fourth

[otis89]

Why is Macias always the first man off the bench? ](*,)

[Brian]

I"d rather have HOlla here, he would probably just K, Gremlin is a DP machine.

[Outshined_One]

He got the job done.

[XZero771679666304]

Macias?

 

Oh boy.

 

Hes batting .287.

 

Yay.

[Blueheart05]

Jose gets the Sac fly

 

Good job

 

3-1

[Flames24Rulz]

well at least we scored. Cmon Lawton make it at least 3-2 by the end of this inning.

[Sarcastic]

He got the job done.

 

Sort of.

[Coach C]

Well, a sac fly by Macias. I guess I'll take that. Sure alot better than a DP.

[Brian]

Wow he did something semi-good. I bet he stays in for aramis now.

[Tram66]

is williams hurt?

[Blueheart05]

Lawton pops out.

[chicubs]

He got the job done.

 

Sort of.

 

Wow, you complain over an rbi. I just had an arguement how I hate people being optimistic about this team, but, jeez bash someone for a rbi. If you were being sarcastic/joking, scratch my comment.

[Flames24Rulz]

well that could be a turning point in the game. Should've scored a lot more then 1. Let's just hope Rusch shuts them down and we can score more off of Tejada in the 6th..

[woodprior04]

is williams hurt?

 

No, Dusty saw an opportunity to get Macias into the game and couldn't pass it up.

[otis89]

is williams hurt?

 

Dusty probably just didn't want to let the pitcher batting .077 bat with the bases loaded and 1 out for fear of a double play.

[katway]

Am I the only one that feels a little bit uncomfortable relying on our bullpen for 5 innings? I hope this is the game where they pull it together.

[Outshined_One]

is williams hurt?

 

Nah, he just doesn't have it today. PHing for him was the right move.

[sethuel1]

is williams hurt?

Nope. It's just that he needed to be pulled because of the bases loaded situation

[Brian]

I just can't get excited scoring 1 run, after having the bases loaded with no outs.

[TrueBlueCubFan]

He got the job done.

 

Sort of.

 

Wow, you complain over an rbi. I just had an arguement how I hate people being optimistic about this team, but, jeez bash someone for a rbi. If you were being sarcastic/joking, scratch my comment.

Lawton & Barrett failed to do their job that inning, not Macias.
