4-5 Cubs (Rusch) v. Reds (Arroyo) 11:35 CT ESPN

[rawaction]

Who said Aurilla hitting cleanup was a joke? Looks like a great move so far.

[fiver]

cough..clears throat.."four runs won't win this one"voice>

Four runs won't be all Cincy gets of Glendon either.

 

no argument here.

[sethuel1]

Santo just averaged 31,000 and 30,000 and got 31,500

[KatJ]

Without a healthy Wood or Prior we don't have good pitching.

 

Maybe Maddux and Marshall can turn things around. I know a lot of you don't like Maddux - over the hill, overpriced, and so on - but he did a pretty good job in the first half in this type of situation last year, iirc.

This will be the first time that we're playing from behind this season....everyone gonna try to tie it up in one swing?

[Butterscup1679666578]

5 pitch inning?

 

Edit: Oh, 7...wow.

[Coach C]

Jeez, that was one sorry-arsed inning.

[Outshined_One]

Swing at those first pitches!!!

[cubbyvirus00]

Bronson is making a joke out of our hitters. 7 pitch inning

[Vinestal]

Wow what a spectacular inning offensively *sigh*

[Blueheart05]

Now Arroyo looks like he's on cruise control.

[radarluv1]

This was all strategy. Let Arroyo sit for a while so he gets cold....

 

alternatively, the cubs let glendon get about 60 seconds rest after a 30 pitch inning.

[Brian]

so I come back from class and it's 2-1........ now it's 4-2, I suck!

[David]

CAN SOMEBODY TELL THESE PLAYERS NOT TO SWING AT THE FIRST PITCH.. EVER???

[Blueheart05]

Did anyone else here just enjoy the Binny's radio commercial with the porno background music?

 

I didn't get that commercial here.

[UMFan83]

YES!!! CUBS BASEBALL IS BACK!!!

 

16 runs and 7 walks followed by first pitch outs

 

Missed you guys, its been a long winter

[rawaction]

so I come back from class and it's 2-1........ now it's 4-2, I suck!

 

So, it's your fault! Go back to class.

[Brian]

I love our new offense, seems to look alot like the old one.

Gotta keep him loose!!!

[neely crenshaw]

not to be an @$$ but you know, you can't underestimate the value of speed.....

[KatJ]

Yeah, it's like they forgot everything from Opening Day. It doesn't look pretty when they get desperate. Gee maybe that's something Dusty might want to relay to them after today's game - regardless of how it turns out.

[fiver]

Can we just pretend that Rusch's pitch count is 138 and take him out of the game?

[UMFan83]

I love our new offense, seems to look alot like the old one.

 

maybe if we had more speed.....

[sethuel1]

not to be an @$$ but you know, you can't underestimate the value of speed.....
