October 4, 200718 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 10:01 PM) Poor Tony Clark...must seem like any pitch within 5 feet is a strike. Betweem that and sucking, he has no chance.
October 4, 200718 yr Figures....I told you we were going to hate Mark Reynolds. I can't believe a team made a bad defensive play against the Cubs.
October 4, 200718 yr What a TERRIBLE move to have Z swing away. I know he hit it hard and almost had a single, but you HAVE to bunt there and give yourself a chance to score and tie it without getting another hit. Lou with a rare tactical error.

That obviously would have scored the runner. Webb better be careful with that outside sinker to the lefties.

And Theriot would of scored on that sac fly. Cubs don't manufacture runs, period. Webb showing how to pitch over mistakes.
October 4, 200718 yr Wow, and now that flyball to CF for the 2nd out scores Theriot if you had bunted him to 3rd, but instead man on 2nd with 2 outs. Nice play Clark!!! They will be talking about not having Z bunt all day tomorrow if the Cubs lose this one, I can't believe Lou did that.
October 4, 200718 yr I guess it's a good thing Zambrano got that double, because if he didn't Piniella would have bunted like he should have and it would have been 1-1.

Interesting (and good) point, who knew a double by the opposing pitcher could end up being a blessing in disguise, but it was here.
October 4, 200718 yr It's reasons like that which makes Zambrano hated. Congrats, you struck out one of the worst hitting pitchers in all of baseball.
October 4, 200718 yr lol @ Zambrano, what a spaz/dork. Anyways, that infield hit, although seemingly meaningless, got Augie on base and Webb out of the way so that the top of the order is up next inning. Hopefully Webb can twirl another zero up there this half inning and the Arizona top of the order can add a run or two on Zambrano, who has thrown 70 pitches and 5 innings, and will be making his 3rd trip through the order.
October 4, 200718 yr Webb is elevating the sinker, somebody needs to go out there and talk to him, whether it be the catcher or pitching coach, and tell him to quit overthrowing.
October 4, 200718 yr This would be a nice time for a double play. Webb's been getting hit a little harder, and needs to get some ground ball outs instead of strikeouts.
October 4, 200718 yr The Cubs have adjusted to that pitch, and they're putting some good swings on it.
October 4, 200718 yr Come on ump, that's been a strike all night! Webb is really not sharp right now. Soto is going to be swinging out of his ass on this 2-0. Edited October 4, 200718 yr by fathom
