4/11, Cubs/Reds, Cy Rusch/Arroyo, CSN 1:20

[back2backjax]

leave rusch in and let's see if the reds can hit a homer in every inning!

[rawaction]

Outside corner= no HR

off the outside corner= no HR

outside corner= no HR

off the outside corner= no HR

up and over the plate= HR

 

 

My pitch by pitch for that Dunn AB.

[Flames24Rulz]

Williams begins warming up.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

OK, who didn't see that one coming?

 

Me -- I figured it would be somebody different.

[RyCubsFan]

At least they're all solo shots..........so far.

[LoneStarCubFan]

just imagine if we could have dunn at wrigley 81 times a year

 

He wouldn't get to hit against Cubs pitching though.

 

Williams up in the pen.

[WrigleyinEngland]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Get this bum out, he stinks all the way over here to england.

[Vinestal]

Im telling you the excuses will be pilling up after this game. Dusty will say, "I thought Rusch pitched a good game, the wind was blowing out and pushed those fly balls out, he'll be fine the next time out" or something stupid like that.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Normally I would say 4 runs won't win this game, but the Cubs can't seem to hit Bronson freakin' Arroyo.

[cubbyvirus00]

the crowd applauses the bullpen getting up.

[soapy]

just imagine if we could have dunn at wrigley 81 times a year

 

Yeah but he can't hit sac flies and strikes out too much.

 

 

 

note: sarcasm

[srbin84]

Can anyone else think of any other pitcher who gave up two homers to the same opposing pitcher in consecutive outings? Rusch must enjoy the notoriety.

 

Time to cut sling with Rusch. I don't care if they bring up Hill, Guzman, whoever. If he's in the rotation when one of Prior, Wood, or Miller come back, he better be the first one out of the rotation, not Marshall.

 

I once saw Walt Terrell hit two HRs in the same game against some nameless Cub pitcher

 

I wouldn't call Ferguson Jenkins a nameless Cubs pitcher.

 

Maybe it happened twice. I wouldn't put it past the Cubs.

 

 

Believe it or not I looked it up. Terrell did once off of Jenkins in 83.

 

Then you're right, he was wrong.

[rocket]

just imagine if we could have dunn at wrigley 81 times a year

 

Yeah but he can't hit sac flies and strikes out too much.

 

 

 

note: sarcasm

 

he has 2 sac flies this year!

[RynoRules]

Rusch has demotion / waivers written all over him. Now that we have given him a 2 yr contract, wha t(if any) are our options, other than trading him for a 99th round draft pick.

[badger1679666666]

Normally I would say 4 runs won't win this game, but the Cubs can't seem to hit Bronson freakin' Arroyo.

 

There's plenty of time and the Cubs aren't gonna get shut out today.

[Blueheart05]

and he can't field his position. That should have been a DP.

[srbin84]

Still has a little work to do to equal Marshall's major league debut.

[TruffleShuffle]

Uh oh, Rusch has damaged his trade value even further... I don't know that the Cubs can even get a bag of baseballs for him any more.

[fiver]

can we trade [expletive] for pawnsone

[BeerHere]

Agreed

[YearofDaCubs]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Get this bum out, he stinks all the way over here to england.

Speaking of England, I just got back from London. I was very impressed.

[minnesotacubsfan]

wow....this is insane....can we bring up one of:

 

guzman

hill

anybody with a freaking arm

 

 

plllllllleease???!!!!

[rawaction]

Normally, you would walked the 8th hitter to get to the pitcher in this situation. That ain't happenin today.

[soapy]

just imagine if we could have dunn at wrigley 81 times a year

 

Yeah but he can't hit sac flies and strikes out too much.

hahah...I know. He had one on opening day and I had to laugh.

 

Also of note, Glendon Rusch is not good.

[srbin84]

Uh oh, Rusch has damaged his trade value even further... I don't know that the Cubs can even get a bag of baseballs for him any more.

 

I could see a Rusch for Estes deal once Estes is off the DL.
