IGT: Cubs @ Dodgers Game 5(NLCS)

[FatBabiesHaveNoPride]

Horrid at bat in light of who is behind him.

Explain why maddon didnt bunt to avoid double play and allow for 1 out rbi

I know Ross is Lesters pet but I'd pinch hit Conteras in the 8 spot.

No. Lester is starting to settle in, it would be stupid to upset that balance. Lester will learn to work with another catcher next year.

C/mon Ross, bust this game wide open.

 

[oober]

Ball 4 ugh

 

[ijustposthere]

Cubs really shooting themselves in the foot by not getting these extra runs in.

 

[oober]

Cmon Lester, hit one down the line.

 

[ijustposthere]

What the heck? Why change pitchers against Lester?

He knows everything don't waste your time.

Maddon just cost the Cubs a run. No outs. Russell Ross Lester. The right play is to bunt Russel. Ross' ball would have scored a run. Terrible management on Maddon

He wont be around for many more game threads. Dont worry

You don't bunt with Russell when he's seeing the ball well.

He saw the ball well for one game. He's been bad tonite and every other game this series.

May come back to haunt the Cubs

If you say so. Maeda made excellent pitches that AB more than anything.

 

[oober]

Leadoff double, every run counts should have bunted Heyward, if Russel couldn't have drove him in bunt Ross.

How many RBI did Russel have this season by bunting?

 

[oober]

Always play small ball with the back end...

So are your posts but your still here.

I'll have to check his splits.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Missed opportunities again.

Well, I am off to work. Please win, Cubs!
