4/28 Cubs (Maddux) vs Beermakers (Bush) 1:20 PM CSN/WGN

[E.J.]

CSN sucks. Why do they always have problems?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Maddux is still looking good.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Koskie struck out swinging

STEEEEEEKKKK!

[alroy88]

I don't have a problem with the bunt in that situation. Even if Cedeno is out, you move Pierre to third with one out and Walker who makes good contact coming up. On a day with the wind blowing in and Maddux on the mound, getting that third run is a big thing. Playing for one run like that on a day like today isn't too bad a decision.

If you have the fastest guy on the team already in scoring position I think it's time to let your #2 hitter swing away.

 

not true...if cedeno pops out, then either walker or ramirez need to get a hit to drive him in...when cedeno moved him over, it allowed walker to drive one to the outfield, and have pierre test the OFs arms

[Mizzou]

I didn't realize that Damian Miller was still with Milwaukee.

[Andy]

Gotta love a guy who consistently gets that 0-2 count.

[Mark_R]

This is really fun to listen to.

The professor schoolin the kids.

[Mizzou]

Wow, that ball one was real close according to GameDay.

 

Tight strike zone today, I take it?

[Jon]

I didn't realize that Damian Miller was still with Milwaukee.

He'll be there for this year and next, if my memory is correct. I'm pretty sure he signed a 3-year contract, which seemed pretty odd at the time.

[Balsa]

Maddux is so hot right now. Wow.

[gerby23]

I can't see or hear now, the storms have knocked out my sat signal. Back to the Stoneage (Gameday)

That's small-ball thinking. Not my style.

yeah, maddux had some problems in the first, but he found out exactly what the zone was, and has settled down

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS with 4 doubles in the game so far, are 1 away from tying their season high of 5 doubles set on openning day in Cincinnati.

 

Sure scored a lot more runs that day though. 4 doubles and only 3 runs...should be cashing these in more.

 

The other 10 hits and 7 BBs they got that day might explain some of that, no?
