Dick Allen

Vargas looks like the old Twin Big Papi at the plate.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:37 PM) unlike you i can seperate process from outcome. If I got to the slots tonight and hit a million it doesn't make playing the slots a good idea tmr. Weren't you the guy who said he hated pinch running? Your idea of pinch running for Abreu in a tie game when he was on 3rd was dumb, and Viciedo scored. Paulie wouldn't. Perfect managing.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:33 PM) no s***. what a puzzling move wtf? Dayan Viciedo is a slow ass runner. You are having a bad inning.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:32 PM) Ummm....does that mean you CAN'T pinch-run Garcia and then replace him with Viciedo if/when his spot in the order ever came up again???? But then you would be wasting a player if it goes extra innings. Robin would be dumb for running out of players. Edit Robin 1 Caulfield 0

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:27 PM) Why is Viciedo pinch-running when Leury Garcia is available? What the heck is going on? Just randomly pushing buttons on a computer in the dugout? Because it is the DH position and the replacement is limited to being the DH. Once again Dumb Robin a little brighter than his critics.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:25 PM) And he got lucky letting Jose run for himself. Just bad managing. LMAO.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:23 PM) this is when you PR for Jose. Right f***ing now. That's the leverage index. You are on a roll.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:21 PM) wtf where is DUnn! Watching Paulie tie the game.

Not bad for a mascot.

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:19 PM) Ya know what I'd do? Bat him second in the lineup. Just no f***ing clue. There was a lefty starter. Take at look at his splits vs. LHP.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Well Gordon is really dialed in. Only up from here right Dick Allen? He is pulling his front shoulder. He will start hitting again.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) He's a starter. He was doing well as a starter. We decided to make him a reliever. It was dumb and we're paying for it He is like many non top prospect pitchers, minor league starters who have to spend some time in the bullpen. If he can't handle it, he can go sell cars.

I think Guerra has fanned the last 5 he's faced.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) Because he is the only lefty we got and we are playing the twins... He sucks. I am just giving Feeky some crap. He is a Surkamp fan.

Why is Surkamp being used in hugh leverage situations?

I think he was safe.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 09:02 PM) Johnson walked 3 guys in the 4th. Just shut him down already. What would that accomplish?

Abreu OPS 1.001

If there are 2 outs and the bases aren't full, I think I would have them walk Abreu even if it puts another runner is scoring position.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) Abreu has reached base in 8 straight PA That's Flowers-esque

It's sit with Hawk and me, not Hawk and I Steve.

People need to get it in their heads, Robin doesn't have a TV in the dugout. He is told when to challenge.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 08:23 PM) Should have been challenged. That wasn't control at all, not with the foot on the bag. I agree. It looked like it was out before he was on the bag.

I would have challenged that. It looked like the ball was coming out.

If Beckham threw home there would be a man on first one out and the score would be the same. If you have a DVR check it out.
