4/15 Cubs (Williams) vs Pirates (Duke) 6:05 WGN

[stitchface]

I think dusty is just trying to keep the pressure off murton and cedeno.

 

Pagan is young also so what's the difference?

 

if I start to think like dusty, shoot me.

 

Done.

 

 

hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have said that to someone close enough to do it.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Dang. Aramis is getting eaten up so far this season. he'll turn it around, i just hope it's soon.

[Guancous]

The good news is that the Cubs made Duke throw 27 pitches to 4 batters. He'll be hard pressed to get past the fifth at that rate.

Duke already has a pitch count in the upper 20's. That's nice. Well, not for him.

Its to break up all the righties. Pagan can switch hit so later in the game it breaks up a all righty order vs the bullpen.

That's makes sense.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

They sent down Wuertz? What the heck would they do that for?

Wow good with only one hit and no walks for the CUbs.

[Guancous]

Aramis is the last guy I'm worried about. We'll all be screaming like Ronnie Woo Woo when he hits .571 for two weeks. Does anyone remember when he carried the Cubs for weeks at a time last June?

:lol:

[Jon]

They sent down Wuertz? What the heck would they do that for?

They needed a bullpen arm and couldn't afford to send down a bat with Jones out.

[YearofDaCubs]

They sent down Wuertz? What the heck would they do that for?

Because he's been sucking since spring training this year.

[Omar]

Duffy flys out to Pierre.

[soccer10k]

They sent down Wuertz? What the heck would they do that for?

 

To bring Novoa up obviously.

 

Honestly, I really don't know.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

:lol:

 

Seriously, are they going to call up Rohlicek because Ohman blew up the last two games?

 

Novoa isn't bad, but it's a shortsighted move.

[Andy]

Solid play there by Ronny.

[Omar]

Wilson grounds out, good play by Cedeno.

[Outshined_One]

Nice charge Ronny!

 

That yellow mesh on the Pirates' sleeves is driving me nuts.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

27 pitches for Duke in the first.

 

Nice play by Ronny!

Russ was released.

Nice play by Ronny!

 

I remember thats how many pitches a pitcher would have by the 3rd inning last year, and the year before that.

[Guancous]

I would accept Ronny hitting .200 considering his defensive prowess. I'm glad that I don't have to.

Wuertz is a bullpen arm. He threw 15 pitches yesterday, after not pitching for the 2 previous games.

[Flames24Rulz]

Williams with a walk.

[Omar]

Jason Bay with a base on balls. Still 2 outs.
