Why would Fredi do such a thing!!!!!!!

Professional hitter my butt.

That was pathetic. You can't hit into the DP!

Happy birthday, Uncle Wes.

 

I think you're confused though, you didn't need to give the Cubs a present.

fredi is overthinking this. he's our goddamn lead off hitter and he's been pretty good lately. Leave him in there

I hate Fredi and his dumb ass pointless moves sometimes

I don't know. Wes is usually pretty solid. that DP kills. We have had to many opportunities and have wasted them all.

he's our lead off hitter. No need to A) waste wes pinch hitting for him and B) take out our lead off hitter

 

Fredi usually does allright with pinch hitting situations...but this move (regardless of the DP) was a bad one

I didn't think Volstad looked too bad really. Sure, he had 4 walks, but the defense did him no favors.

Was that Pinto???!!

Fredi didn't like the lefty matchup. And Wes is usually pretty good in those situations.

2nd inning was bad when he was throwing 2 strike pitches over the plate and they were tagging him a bit...otherwise, he was ok

Pulling the late inning double switch while we're losing to make Wes the leadoff hitter?

Wow... MLB Gameday showed Pinto pitching well!!! No Pressure = Pinto is Money! Not sure why Cogs was pinch hit for earlier. He is getting back in the groove and could of worked Marshall... Being at work = missed game for me.

You know Coghlan's splits this year vs lefties and righties are almost the same, right? In fact, he's been better vs LHP. Small sample size, yeah, but still.

 

vs LHP: .207/.303/.241

vs RHP: .210/.247/.210

I can't wait to leave Wrigley. It seems like very ball hit with some kind of authority becomes an out.

Bingo. Stupid move by Fredi. I guess he had to balance out his good move of putting Paulino in for Baker with a terrible one.

also, I thought our offense is supposed to be good... they've been horrid

Bartman, if you are at this game, please do that voodoo that you do so well

That's life as a groundball / contact pitcher in the Marlins organization, I guess. Interesting... isn't this team supposed to be built on pitching and defense?

 

I also find it comical that the scorekeeper called the pitch in the fifth a WP, presumably because Paulino didn't get a glove on it. Problem was, Paulino made such a terrible play on the ball that he didn't touch it, and it went straight through his legs.

 

Volstad has to learn how to consistently navigate through lineups when he doesn't have his best stuff. Today, I think he was able to do that pretty well. If Paulino actually blocks that ball, we may be talking about another quality start for 41.

Was it Paulino's fault?

2 on, 2 out, now would be a good time for an extra base hit

PH for Paulino.

SO Mr. Clutch-ness is taken out

That. was. DUMB
