Panerista Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 02:31 PM) Stupid non-DH league It's awful. And a team like the Cubs has to want the DH in the NL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He's so much like Cano it's uncanny. Not many 2B are going to have the confidence to try and turn the double play that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Now with leadoff guy on first, let's get him in. Time for some of these hard hit balls to start finding some holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm blaming that strikeout on the bunt attempt on that ball Hendricks left up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Ugh, I hate having Moncada try to square like that. Â It's so different having a guy sacrifice from having a guy bunt for a hit. If Moncada ever has to actually know how to sacrifice under game conditions then that means to me he's a serious disappointment with the bat. Â If you want him to bunt, he should be under orders to try to bunt for a hit. I can deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
