Why give up the 2nd out on the bases with the #8 hitter at the plate???
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Smarter than doing it in front of your 3-4-5 guys.
That said, a sign got missed there. It’s the only reasonable explanation.
Wouldn't it be smarter to make sure you clear the pitcher???
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
OK. I just don't like to have the pitcher leading off an inning.
A double-switch is tough when TLR keeps so many LHPs in his bullpen.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
I don't thnk that was the expected result....
the hope was that Dome would put the ball in play

that's not necessarily a reasonable hope, alas

If Lou gives up on Dome, DeRo will be sentenced to prison RF for the post-season.

Was the pitch in the dirt?

OK. There was a pitch in the dirt. Wasn't sure if that was the H&R pitch or not.
Quade must have given the signs in English then.

As I recall, it was low and outer half...
so, an ideal ball to hit into the vacated hole at SS

Did someone switch Fukodome out with a cloned inept version?
I mean this guy looks nothing like the one that was out there the 1st 3 months of the season
"I don’t believe that things go your way," said Lou Piniella, the Cubs manager.
"I believe you make things go your way."
It's weird man
There’s probably a lot more to it than just him not being able to hit: a lot of external factors, as well the MLB season being longer — and more grueling traveling-wise — that’s made him get worse and worse every month.
It IS weird.... I have never seen a player look so good & then look so lost
