How much is that doggie in the window?

AJ really showed urgency in getting that throw off there..

A glimmer of hope with that pitchout, but what was I thinking? Even when we do things right we screw them up.

This is pathetic. I bet Masset showed better control than this in the Winter League.

He's such a bad defensive catcher.

lol this is predictable

 

WHERE THE f*** WAS THAT 0-2 PITCH?

He's such a bad defensive catcher.

 

To be fair, he's only bad at calling games and throwing the ball. Otherwise he's very very good.

 

Actually, I'll defend him. His weak spot is his arm. He's good at blocking and catching. He needs to get better at calling.

He's terrible at catching the actual ball. I'd say pitch calling is his biggest strength still. I remember when Hawk used to say how great he was at doing it....now, you never hear that.

Seems like he was calling great games in '05, what happened since? Same staff essentially. Lack of preparation?

f***ing pussy base hit, just what we need. f***ing christ.

It's OK. Masset's fingers are cold.

I enjoy JD's hustle.

They deserve that run....you can't throw someone out on a pitch out, they deserve to score. Hawk and DJ sound so pissed off. Will someone please tell me why the f*** Masset is in the majors?

This is no longer fun...

How did you not expect that? You walk two guys, you deserve that kind of hit.

This is easy. I'll put it on a tee for you: Gavin Floyd

Could have been a whole lot worse than it actually was. Can't believe they got just 1 run there.

BTW, isn't it amazing how much a well-constructed bench can help your team? The Cubs bench is just phenomenal.

in keeping things positive... we've gotta score 1 to win regardless, so let's even things up and start from square one.

 

I know, I know.. easier said than done

Your phenomenal.

What about him? Getting no 2007 MLB ready talent for Garcia was the worst move KW made this whole offseason.

All we would have had to do is delay calling up Thome one day, and then send the pitcher down after the game.

 

Adding Thome and dropping Sweeney is of course zero sum. Yes they could've sent Sweeney down and brought up a starter for today instead of Thome. It would've needed to be someone currently on the 40 man, since they're at 40. That would've meant Gavin Floyd, who has been on a pitch count anyways. It really has nothing to do with delaying Thome.

 

Had they wanted Egbert or someone similar, it would've meant clearing a guy off the 40 man.

 

So it was Masset vs. Gavin Floyd and that to me is a damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I hate his pitch-calling.
