IST: Cubs VS Rockies Discussion Thread

[TL1961]

What the hell is that guy talking about "growing out of the position"?

Russell will be the SS at the MLB level no later than mid-2015.

Rockies just walked the 94th guy of the night. Cubs have yet to put this away.

For the love of all that is holy, somebody teach Castro the game of baseball, and how to run the bases. Beginning with how to run from home plate.

Meh. It's overrated. He's good at what he does.

Have to question why Ruggiano wasn't bunting with a Lefty flyball hitter in Valbuena on deck

Because wasting outs is stupid. One of the right things Ricky has done this year.

Renteria has no clue when it comes to in-game strategy. He may be good with the youngsters, but once the game starts, he's out of it.

Ruggiano made out with the runner not advancing. A bunt would have been productive, not wasted.

It's worth the chance of a hit, which sets you up for more runs.

I would agree early in a game but not late or in extra innings when your looking to tie or take the lead...
You gotta play for the 1 run expecially on road

 

[Captain Obvious]

Come on Rondon, give up one run, let Javy come up and hit a HR and then let Villanueva get the save!

 

[Parade_Rain]

Wow. No error on Baez?

 

[Captain Obvious]

Hell yeah! Hold them now and let Javy go deep!

 

[chibears55]

never fails.. get 2 strikes on a guy, cant get him and he gets a big hit.. next hitter you make him look silly on 3 pitches

 

[chibears55]

Baez 0 fer 6 or get a big hit

 

[chibears55]

Hey Hey. Hey Hey

 

[Parade_Rain]

Yeah, baby!

Thats a nice way to come back from a bad game. Going to be some growing pains but he just showed he has special power.
