    Same. I'm numb.

    What'd it say?

    No, sac bunting is wrong. Batting Neifi in the 2 hole is wrong. Letting Murton swing away is not wrong. It might not always work, because that's baseball. And a sac bunt might occasionally work, because that's baseball. But the odds are against you and it's absolutely foolish to keep sac bunting the way Dusty does. just curious. what is the percentage breakdown? how much of a better chance of a run is there, if you don't bunt? There's a great link for this that was posted in one of the game threads the other day....I hope someone has it...cuz I'm too lazy to find it. :P

    Yeah that's probably the reason, rather than the 4th worst team OBP in the major leagues. I see Dusty fault because we can't get on base. When does the fault land on the players? You mean the players that Dusty requested?

    Did he? That's fantastic. Well Giles is a 3 hitter and Cedeno isn't. Big differnce there. lol...so dusty is either dumb for: 1) Batting Cedeno 3rd or 2) sacrificing with his #3 batter Take your pick. who do you bat 3rd? Walker been in a slump for 10 days... Murton, Ramirez, Barrett...those 3 would've been acceptable choices. Cedeno Pierre Murton Ramirez Barrett Mabry Hairston Perez Pitcher

    Did he? That's fantastic. That is pretty funny stuff. I don't think it will happen, but I'd still like to see Brenly take over for Dusty.

    Sacrifices with the number 3 hitter rule.

    Not obvious enough...I missed it at first.... :oops: Me neither. I thought he was at first, but then he seemed serious. But I thought about cheapseats and I thought there was no way he could be serious. And then I flip flopped to him being serious. :oops: :oops: Don't think, it can only hurt the team. But coach, I thought we were supposed to have an aggressive approach!

    But power hitters like Mabry tend to strike out frequently. Adam Dunn strikes out a lot, too, but his walks and homeruns more than make up for the whiffs.

    Oh man! If Williams is hurt, that means Neifi will suck.... ...oh wait...
  16. Banedon
    Yeah, I think Wood will bump regardless of how this start goes.
  17. Banedon
    Excellent analysis.
  18. Banedon
    I'd like to have Kerry pitch with a better lineup....

    Huh....Juan Pierre vs Woody Williams AB H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS Juan Pierre 29 12 1 2 0 5 1 1 .414 .433 .586 1.020

    Give me a break. This lineup is awful. People are batting out of place and he's playing inferior players over vastly superior players. I haven't seen anything on Jones mentioned in any publications. Please, what 'facts' are we all ingorant of? Actually, Jones is supposedly hurt... Well, I hadn't seen it. The rest of the criticsm is justified. Calling people whiners is ridiculous. Agreed.

    You had me fooled...I was in the midst of a nasty reply there.... :D

    So says Dusty. But Walker said he's fine. And while people don't like having Neifi in there, I'm pretty sure that the main complaint is that he's batting 2nd. Just in case you were ignorant of the facts behind the complaints.
  25. Banedon
    Inevitably the Cubs will win with this lineup using smoke and mirrors, and Baker will say "See, I R smart!"
