[Andy]

Ironically, Murt is the guy that grounds out on the first pitch - he's not looking too good the last week...

[Blueheart05]

two outs, but a ton of pitches. I like the approach early this season. No going up there hacking at the first two pitches

 

Murton's been too anxious lately

[Flames24Rulz]

first pitch swinging, results in a groundout to the SS. After 1, Reds lead 1-0.

[ToupeeOnFire]

It's odd to see Murton batting clean-up.

 

First pitch swinging...arghh!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

wtf Murton. great AB.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

25 pitches for Milton.

[jjgman21]

26 pitches by Milton that inning.

Z with 16

[brinoch]

CBS has him at 26 pitches after 1.

[Blueheart05]

Very poor AB by Murton considering how the other three batters worked the count.

[Andy]

Something tells me Murt was anxious to prove he could hit cleanup :x

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

25 pitches for Milton.

 

Gamecenter on Sportsline says 26. But, what's one pitch difference? :shrug:

Ha! That's what I meant. Stoopid fat fingers... :oops:

If Murton was sitting dead red on a fastball down the heart of the plate and that is what Milton threw, then I have no problem with him being aggressive. It just didn't work out this time.

What can I say? I need an editor.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

25 pitches for Milton.

 

I counted 26?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm just slow to post.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I'm gonna go ouot on a limb and say Milton no-hits the cubs today on 175 pitches through 7

Is it just me or do the cameras really like to show Mad Dog talking to someone in the dugout - anyone at all? Edited April 13, 2006 by Andy

Exactly. Too many people just say "Way to swing at the first pitch". If we would have taken that ball the other way it was a perfect pitch to hit. It wasn't a bad ball to swing at all, just a bad swing.

Milton is on pace for a 234-pitch 9-inning no-hitter, with 9 walks.

[Flames24Rulz]

Zambrano's 3rd K already.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kearns struck out (called)
