Lou Pinella, What the hell are you doing?
Sammy Sofa replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Looking through the game logs from this month, that isn't really true. I think it's more that the pitchers decide to attack him outside the zone. From those at-bats, he takes a lot of called balls on pitch number 1, but otherwise it's about a 50/50 ratio of Cedeno either swinging at the first pitch versus taking a called strike. "I know what I saw" fails yet again. Stats = good. -
Which way is the wind supposed to be blowing at gametime?
-
Seriously, can "the Pete Sampras of assholes" be the tag under his screenname? That is beyond hysterical ad should be worn as a badge of honor.

Ironically, I think Cedeno has conditioned himelf to essentially never swing at the first pitch, and the first one get was a juicy one right down the middle. I just take issue with Soto not batting for either Cedeno or especially Blanco. -
There's no way of knowing if Lou called it or if DeRo did it on his own. Len seemed to indicate that DeRo was doing it on his own... Fine, but Lou needs to react accordingly. Soto should have been hitting for Cedeno or Blanco. Then who plays SS in the 9th? I can't remember if Fontenot was used already. If he had, Soto can only PH for Blanco. If not, put Fontenot or DeRo at SS. Yeah, dicey, but it's ideally after the Cubs hae driven in an insurance run or more and have at least a 2-run lead for the 9th.

I love that they won and everything luckily ended up falling into place, but this is 2 games in a row they've won in spite of REALLY stupid late inning decisions by Lou.

FUDGE YES, MOTHERFUDGERS.

Horrible, horrible, horrible managing by Lou in the bottom of the 8th. DeRo is hot, but I wouldn't have minded having him bunt if basically anyone but Cedeno was up next...and then not PHing Blanco with Soto? Come on, Lou.
-
Wow, what a suicide pitch with 2-0 on Fonzie, and he made them pay.
-
I would have preferred Soto, but I can see holding onto him with 3 innings left.
-
TIME FOR SOME BIRTHDAY POWA, HANK!
-
BEAUTIFUL.
-
He was born too short, couldn't see that the ball kicked away from the catcher to the wall on a wild pitch.
-
Bat Reed here?
-
Theriot had Rex Grossman-vision on that one.
-
I hate Theriot's baserunning with a burning, burning passion.
-
Strike at the shins?
-
top offense in baseball, and people are still bitching. So meaningless when you cant beat Joe Blanton. So everything is negated by one game?
-
I have faith.

If the Cubs go to the WS, I'm skipping classes and work for a week no matter the consequences. If the Cubs go to the WS, I am skipping classes, taking off work and flying 1200 miles just to stand outside Wrigley so I can feel closer to it. Yep. If the WS is on the north side this year, I'll be standing out on Waveland for the games. Definitely. I'll basically camp down there for the series.

Miracle DP, please.

I don't like this.

He has to get him in game situations to keep him sharp. No one can predict the future. Before the Pittsburgh series he hadn't really pitched in a while. Which is why they pitched him the first game, but why the second?
