4/13 Cubs (Zambrano) v.s. Reds (Milton) 1:20 WGNTV and Radio

[ToupeeOnFire]

Zambrano looking sharp.

[Andy]

When Adam Dunn comes up again, just tell Z his name is Austin Kearns and he's batting lefty. :D

[brinoch]

I'm only online, so I couldn't see the pitch or the swing. How did Murton look on it?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

Badger agreeing with badgercub. That could get confusing. :P

[minnesotacubsfan]

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

 

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

 

:shock:

 

 

touche'

[Andy]

Wow, Z's slider is looking absolutely gorgeous today.

[Flames24Rulz]

there goes the sign :lol:

He's trying to pull everything lately so he rolled over it to SS. He needs to go back to taking it the other way.

[Flames24Rulz]

wow, Zambrano up to 97 on that K.

listening to too many people saying he has to generate more power. just be who you are Matt, and everything will work out fine.

[C.C.]

Z @ 28 pitches. Not bad. Would be nice if a Cubs pitcher could pitch 7 innings and give the pen a rest.

Can you show the opponents pitcher also, so we can see where he's at?

[Andy]

Pagan gets it going with a single.

[da bears]

Come on Cubs. Let's get some runs for Z.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pagan singled to left field

[Blueheart05]

In other news, Edmonds has committed 2 errors today and Rolen was charged with 1. :shock:

 

Brewers leading 3 to 1

[Andy]

Len says the Cubs hadn't stolen 4 bases since the middle of 2001, FYI.

Thanks for the update.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno sacrificed to the pitcher, 1-4, Pagan to second

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

good job Pagan and Cedeno.

[Andy]

How do you say "power side" and "Neifi" in the same sentence without giggling, I wonder?

[USSoccer]

Cedeno sacrificed to the pitcher, 1-4, Pagan to second

 

Because Neifi is just a run producing machine...

[minnesotacubsfan]

sweeeet.....playing small ball when the wind is blowing out against a hr hitting team

 

niiiiice

[Fred Hornkohl]

Perez lined out to left field
