Does Pujol have enough ABs left in this game

He will.

he'll get a double, but on the single
an outfielder will bobble it and he’ll take two bases

Albert Pujols doesn't need a mustache for good luck.
But sometimes mustaches wear Albert Pujols.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

Remember when John Rodriguez was on deck with Eckstein up

I wish that when Ankiel went up to bat, Pujols would throw his bat down the steps and tell him it’s pointless.

Is it a rule that you have to have a bat in your hands in the batter's box
If not, Tony should call time, walk out there, and literally take the bat out of Ankiel’s hands when he has a 3-0 count. I’ll take my chances just seeing if the pitcher can throw three straight strikes

This is a very unusual
situation with Carp. His pitch count says 7 or more. Tony is thinking, lets pray for 6. Could be the humidity playing havoc with his breaking stuff. I don’t want to see him in the 7th with one run.
by OperaCard on Jul 10, 2009 4:40 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
on top of the pitch count he's had:
1 at bat to end an inning and he was also stranded on 1st where he was running with the pitch 5 times before Rasmus eventually ended the inning. Tiresome
THE SKIP IS LEGIT!!

I don't really have a problem with the bunting...
The Cubs have 9 outs left against someone other than Carp, and a 5 run lead at Wrigley does not equal a 5 run lead anywhere else.

How does that matter?
BR got way too far off of first. I actually like Hoff’s decision to go for third, he just overslid (even though he looked safe to me). Just because the Cubs fucked up the defense doesn’t mean it was a good decision.

I thought Hoff started to break, then didn’t go. Ryan was sort of hung out there because of it. Once Ryan was in the run-down, then Hoff broke for 3rd.

Ryan took off because of a call by Tony
or a missed call by tony. Hoff never left until post-trapped in a rundown. The only way that happens is because TLR is trying to call smallball moves from the dugout.
