fathom Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Nice of the Astros to pitch Backe against the Cubs. He looks like he's throwing 80 mph out there. And of course, Wandy got scratched from his start this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Pitching to Aramis with an open base in the 9th? Can an interim manager be fired? Not like it matters...the Astros can't even make contact against the Cubs relievers. Edited September 12, 2007 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Did anyone catch Pence vs Marmol matchup. It's been a while since I've seen anyone get seriously PWNed like Pence did. He was trying to shuffle his feet just to make contact from Marmol's pitches. Wow.. He really doesn't like facing him.

fathom Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Marmol has games when he's downright unhittable. I called it earlier, but he's turned into K-Rod from a couple of years ago. I'm so disappointed in the at-bats by Berkman tonight. He looks like he wants to get out of the batter's box as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Cubs get two lucky breaks on the DeRosa at-bat, as he was very close to going on the check swing, and then that 3-2 pitch has been a strike all game. Here comes J. Jones, the man they didn't even want on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) I didn't realize Marte was having that good of a season. Looking at the schedule, the Brewers need to beat the bad teams. Â Corey Hart super clutch there and they need to bring him home.

fathom Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Why in the hell did Yost let Hall bat? He's had a terrible season, a terrible game, and they have much better options off the bench in either Gross vs a righty or Dillon to face a lefty.

fathom Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I can't f***ing stand Ned Yost. How in the hell does he let Jenkins face the lefty out of the bullpen? Grabow is much tougher on lefties, and Jenkins hits only .233 against LHP. Does Yost not know he has an expanded roster? The Brewers deserve to lose this game after that atrocious managing in the 8th inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hall is bad  Turnbow walks two, in the top of the inning Tracy saw his guy couldn't throw a strike and he pulled him. Yost left his guy out there to give up the run and most likely cost him the game. Is this guy choking in the pennnant run or what . wow Edited September 12, 2007 by Jenks Heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 And just like that, the Brewers are trailing again. With their schedule down the stretch, they don't have a very good chance. No one in baseball has an easy finish to their schedule than the Cubs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 7-4 let's see if Derrick Turnbow can get himself out of it. I think Estrada may have had the right idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone be against the Sox trying to trade for Hall and moving him back to SS? He's coming off a down season and isn't great defensively but I still think he'd be a superior upgrade over Uribe (and when he's at his best he's a darn good player.

fathom Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Cubs just got a huge break in the 8th, as Pence was called out at 3rd base on a play that wasn't even close. Just idiotic base running, which is no surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
