Cubs @ Phillies 20 May

[The Dude]

Seriously, WTF is Lou thinking? He just threw away an extra bench bat byt not using Soto in one of those spots. I can't wait for Z to be our last hope in the 9th.

[Andy]

I was questioning the same thing. Why waste a bat? Doesn't make sense. Though in 2010, Xady was batting .333 with RISP while Soto was at .190. *shrug*

[Butcher]

Why are the Phillies fans jizzing all over themselves right now?

I've been pleasantly surprised by Colvin's temperament in clutch situations.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't know. He's batting .136 with 10 strikeouts with RISP. That's in 22 AB.

He came through there, though.

Really. I just seem to remember a ton of sacrifices from him lately. Now that I've looked it up, he's only got a .760 OPS with runners on and 1.155 with bases empty though.

Edit: Man on 3rd, < 2 outs, 7AB, .286/.333/.429/.762 which is ok for a rookie I guess.

[Butcher]

Bastardo. Love that last name.

Yeah. That isn't bad. Plenty of hitters piss their pants in that situation.

I'm soooo late on the draw today.

[rok]

I love Fuku.

[Butcher]

These Old Style "Live at the Improv" radio ads are beyond painful.

[Butcher]

Don't swing, please.

[Butcher]

That's the best swing you can muster on a 3-1 pitch, you fuck?

[Butcher]

Get on for Alf.

[Butcher]

I guess we're throwing in the towel. Looks like Grabow will come in for the 9th.

[Butcher]

Nevermind. Stevens still on.
