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

[Brian]

The worst part is now Jones leads off next inning. The Cubs need to do what they can to turn over the lineup, which means not making outs on the bases.

I predict that Neifi gets a hit next inning so the line-up will flip anyway.

 

Maddux won't bat again anyways I'm guessing.

 

That was a darn fast inning...he may bat.

 

EDIT: misread yahoo...thought Miller was out already.

 

Jinx! He's going to be at least mid 80's after this inning and that's his magic number.

I hate Miller

Yeah, I blew that one huh?

[Banedon]

Miller singled to left field

 

Yahoo says it was a double?

[BeerHere]

Is anyone up in the pen?

[soccer10k]

[Geech]

Maddux isn't getting anything this inning.

[Mizzou]

Nice.

[Jon]

I'm guessing that's all for Greg. Good job. Didn't exactly look his best, but 2 runs in 6 IP is just fine for me.

I love it when our pitchers fall behind 3-0 but get the hitter anyway.

[Balsa]

I could tell instantly from Maddux's body language when he was talking to Rothschild that he was gassed. We're lucky we escaped that inning without harm.

[BeerHere]

Got em. Nice outing MadDog. Turn it over to the pen for the final three innings.

[Banedon]

I'm guessing that's all for Greg. Good job. Didn't exactly look his best, but 2 runs in 6 IP is just fine for me.

 

I would've taken that every game he pitched this year.

Fifty all star votes already cast!

[Banedon]

That's 89 pitches...no way Greg goes back out.

[Banedon]

Fifty all star votes already cast!

 

You're kinda nuts...heh

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones singled to right field

[Brian]

JACQUE, I want to like you, keep it up man.

[sethuel1]

Fifty all star votes already cast!

Who'd you vote for?

[ToupeeOnFire]

Pat Hughes with a rare mental error. Refers to Jacques Jones as Neifi Perez.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

i hope Bush realizes he is being owned by Jacque Jones in his career. a double, homerun, and single and he hasnt struck him out 15 times

[Balsa]

Hey, dumb stealing attempt, Matt.

 

Uh, not really. It was a 3-1 count. Who is coming up after JJ? Neifi, Blanco, Maddux. Not exactly RBI machines. I'd say it was a fine place to run.

Better to let JJ swing, if he gets out then Neifi/Blanco/Maddux go down 1-2-3 the next inning and you go back to the top of the order for the inning after that.

I would disagree, although that is a really good point. I would argue that with the Cubs up by 3, and Maddux on the mound, if Murton can get into scoring position it would be much easier for Jones/Neifi/Blanco to score him. Worth the risk imo. Plus, there might be a PH for Maddux.
