    Theriot and Fontenot not making a good case for them to keep their jobs for the foreseeable future. FONTENOT YOU DUMB SON OF A *&$%!!!!

    2004. 5 shutout innings against the Cubs. Hurricane double header where they beat Beckett in Game 1, iirc.
  3. Outshined_One
    Huh? Volquez isn't in there right now. Their bullpen isn't exactly the most reliable thing in the world right now.
  4. Outshined_One
    Oof. Needed that to be a little bit more toward the gap. PULL FONTENOT FOR GOD'S SAKE!
  5. Outshined_One
    Dick Pole is smokin'.
  6. Outshined_One
    Yeah, what about Mike Fontenot says leadoff hitter? Short, white, and blonde-haired?
  7. Outshined_One
    Time to get Sean Marshall stretched out.

    The problem comes when you swing at Ball 4 and the runner is thrown out at 2B. Or you ground into a double play. Or hit the ball in the air and get the runner doubled off 1st. There's way, way, way too much risk involved in the hit & run for justifying its use on anything remotely resembling a regular basis.

    The problem is, in order for it to really work correctly, you need to rely on so many factors breaking in your favor. It seems like there is so much luck involved in successfully carrying out a hit and run that it just doesn't seem worth the risk of it failing.

    I can't find the article right now, but I'm pretty sure that the work of Dan Fox over at BP showed that the Cubs cost themselves more runs than any other NL team by being caught stealing so much last year. A lot of those are busted hit-and-runs. Someone should cut off Lou's arms so he can't call for a hit-and-run ever again. Someone print out that article and send copies of it to everyone on the Cubs' coaching staff. I'm looking at you, Roast.

    Someone tell Lou to quit it with the hit & run garbage. It does not work.

    Pitching against a Dusty Baker-led team has a tendency to do that. Too bad we don't have any soft-tossing lefties. They'd have thrown 27 consecutive scoreless innings in this series! Isn't Lilly kind of a soft tossing lefty? I was thinking more along the lines of a guy whose fastball never cracks 85. At least Lilly can get up to 90-91 on his fastball.

    BBing the pitcher to score a run. ...wow.

    Dusty = The Bride Votto = Elle Driver

    The sad thing is, he once was a really patient and selective hitter in the minors.

    Tennessee ended up losing 10-5. Harvey hit his second HR of the season.
  19. Outshined_One
    Good to see we basically have five automatic outs in a row in Johnson, Blanco, P, Fontenot, and Theriot.
  20. Outshined_One
    Tennessee's getting smacked around to the tune of 7-1. Atkins gave up 4 HRs in 4.2 IP. Ow.
  21. Outshined_One
    Playing poker against him would be fun.

    We won, by the way.
  24. Outshined_One
    Probably because it's 10-1. So it's not related to him fouling a ball off his shoulder earlier? It probably is. My guess is he would stay in the game if the game were closer, but in this situation, you might as well give him a breather.

    Corey flies out to Pie. Something strangely poetic about that.
