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

Holy wow Pierre has an atrocious arm.

What happened?

Freel hit a ball to CF and went to second because of Pierre's arm. We'll see it all year...

Coach C · April 5, 2006

*whew* Near collision between Aramis and Cedeno.

2 down.

Good pitch to get Griffey to pop that out.

Banedon · April 5, 2006

Holy wow Pierre has an atrocious arm.

What happened?

Freel squeaked a ball past Walker and Pierre came in to shallow right/center to pick it up. Freel was going two all the way, Pierre got the ball to second base on about four bounces.

Thanks... :?

Stone just said that Adam Dunn has killed Rusch even though he has a BA below .200 against him. I'm not disputing that I'm agreeing with him. Doesn't Adam Dunn bat .230 every year so dropping below .200 against a guy isn't really that big of a drop?

Chris · April 5, 2006

Come on Glendon, strand the RISP

Fred Hornkohl · April 5, 2006

Aurilia singled to center field, Freel scored

Coach C · April 5, 2006

Damn.

Basehit to CF, run scores.

2-1 Cubs. Runner on 1st, 2 outs.

Yes but his power numbers are crazy against Rusch.

There goes Aurilia.

Why is Rusch on this team? I hated that signing.

His BA and OBP against Rusch is .333...along with a .952 SLG.

This should be a fun AB.

Chris · April 5, 2006

Go figure, Aurilia

Banedon · April 5, 2006

Gonna need to score a bunch today.

fishbulb · April 5, 2006

we gave up so many runs after getting two outs last year too, seems like somethings never change.

According to the stats on page 1 of this thread, he's hitting .333 with 4 hr and 10 rbi against Rusch.

Coach C · April 5, 2006

Inning over.

Still would be nice if the Cubs can continue to get some more runs.

Outshined_One · April 5, 2006

Wow, I was expecting a complete meltdown out there from Glendon.

Again, not much of a difference as how he does with the rest of the league. I mean, his stats may be a little better against Rusch. BTW he hit .247 last year, must have been a good year.

and just like that Rusch has a 9 ERA.

yay!

Blueheart05 · April 5, 2006

FYI, MLB.TV is showing the Comcast version of the game. I wonder if MLB will archive the national broadcast? They do that sometimes...

Banedon · April 5, 2006

Wow, I was expecting a complete meltdown out there from Glendon.

I know Glendon had his issues last season, but did he really have a lot of "meltdowns"? Obviously he gave up runs, I just don't recall him getting shelled a lot...

Of course my memory isn't always what I wish it was.

Hey's it's half as much as Arroyo's.

It stands out because they are both LH plus, Dunn is a prolific power hitter so he's always a danger...

soccer10k · April 5, 2006

Murton is going deep again. I can feel it.

da bears · April 5, 2006

It's always great when you get back from class and see that Ramirez hits a two run homer in the first.
