You guys know what the problem is right? Power outage. 1 Home Run in the last 8 games. And they are at this bandbox and still can't hit one -
Hollandsworth did last night remember?
-
For the love of God, please fire Rothschild after this season. How can someone have so much talent to worth with and get so little out of it.
-
Don't worry, Macais should hit at least 4 grand slams today
-
At least we have Macais in CF today
-
Slow down there Sport. The Cubs have a legit shot, but you might want to rethink your wording there. :D We were blowing you guys away, but then June came along

At what point does a manager take responsibility?

See the thing that sucks, is that I can't even seeing Dusty mentioning this to the team. I can see him making excuses for the team and then forgetting about it the next game. -
JonM and I were talking about that via IM. Reynolds was saying since it was a passed ball, the hitter has to either be tagged or thrown out at first. The logic is that since he has to try to advance to first, the runners have to be moving and there is a force out available at all bases. So if that was true, Barrett could have stepped on home and thrown to third for a DP. However, the rule is that you cant advance to first on a K if there is a runner on first. So basically the play was dead when Burrell K'd and runners could advance at their own risk.

Out of curiosity, how did Remlinger pitch that badly today? I didn't watch the game because it was on CSN+ but.....he gave up a double, got a ground ball for an out and then struck out someone. Sure he failed to cover first, but so did half the team. I do think overall Remlinger is terrible, but he didn't do terrible against the 3 hitters he pitched to today.

Is there any reason you didn't post this in the game threads, rants or the bad managerial moves thread? Seriously, we don't need 5 new "Dusty sucks" threads in baseball discussions every night. Why not? Maybe a Cubs exec will stumble upon the forum and see the quantity of Dusty hate
-
Well I was pretty sure we found every way to lose. Nope
-
actually, Dusty's walking them loaded to get to Burrell... I don't like throwing 8 consecutive balls on purpose to get to a situation where you can't walk someone. Utley's not very good against LHP, pitch to him, then walk Abreu. Setting up this little margin for error is not smart. We have a winner! Putting the Cubs bullpen in a situation where it can't throw balls is a terrible decision.
-
Good? If by good you mean good at getting out of their own jams
-
Is it a rule for Dusty to make 2 double switches in every game?
-
I can't recall the Cubs ever having success against Wagner. He's really good. Lee hit a game tying HR off Wagner in May, but the Cubs lost
-
How many innings can Wagner go if pressed? I hope not more then 2
-
I think he was 1-4 with a bunch of hard hit balls.
-
Phew
-
Doesn't it seem like just when you start to feel comfortable about a reliever in the 8th inning role, he flops on his face and we start over again?
-
It's Yes No Maybe. You always gotta leave the option of doubt in there
-
Didn't he start a game in CF 1-2 weeks ago?
-
Holy luckiness batman....ill take it!!
-
Every time Holla has been up lately, he's K'd on 3 pitches it seems
-
Someday I'll look back at 2004 and 2005 and laugh hyterically...... ....then the doctor will come and give me my meds.
