3/7 DR (Colon) vs Venezuela (Santana and Zambrano)-Noon,ESPN

Z is money.

[Coach C]

They are now commenting on how much weight he's lost though! :D

 

Indeed. He has lost weight, and he looks really good physically.

[Balsa]

Last pitch was beautiful.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

If I was in the cubs org, I'd be a little concerned with the Venezuelan coaching staff after the way Santana was handled.

[Pistolcub42]

Z's pitch speeds to Tavarez.....

 

 

96, 94, 97, 97, 97

[Coach C]

Jeez, Batista is wild.

[Jon]

Z's gonna get revenge for that HBP.

[Jehrico]

Z's pitch speeds to Tavarez.....

 

 

96, 94, 97, 97, 97

 

Not good...his fastball has all of it's sink when it's around 94. He's less effective when he overthrows. He's broke 100 before, we know he's gotten the arm. But his pitches straighten out when he overthrows and he's more hittable. I hope he keeps it down when he comes back.

[Pistolcub42]

Hahaha. I finally get to see Blanco's game winner.

Kruk says Soriano is gonna hit 40 homers!

[Jon]

Venezuela on the board!

[Balsa]

"I'm sorry but Soriano ain't gonna move"

 

Yeah because he's not a team player, the jerk.

[J.R.]

I really hope U.S. fans get used to the maximum-strength cheering on display today; maybe people won't think so poorly of me when I go bananas at Cubs games in the future.

 

I think my fandom display had some of the Reds fans ready to commit me when the Cubs were in Cincinnati last year.

[Coach C]

Z getting squeezed on that last pitch.

 

2 down.

 

Ooo, Z vs Pujols.

[Jon]

Hahaha. I missed Z so much.

 

He really ran that in on Tejada nicely.

[Coach C]

Walked him.

[Laura]

Freestyle Z!

[rocket]

That overhead curve was interesting.

[Jon]

Come on, Carlos.

[Jon]

SQUEEZE

[Balsa]

Fearful prediction: Zambrano out with arm strain.

[Chris]

Wait, Z would never be questioning an umpire like that in a MLB game? :lol:

[Guest]

Reynolds: "You would never see this type of questioning an umpire in a major league game." Apparently he's never seen Z pitch before.

[Laura]

c'mon Z!!!

[Jon]

Come on...

 

Keep it away, Carlos.
