4/30 Cubs (Big Z) vs Beermakers (Capuano) 1 pm WGN

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Good call Sarge.

 

And on the replay it sure looked like he was moving toward the plate.

[soccer10k]

Z is going to have 28 strikeouts today in 9 IP. That's right, he's going to strikeout the same batter twice on one play.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

sarge didn't appreciate the fake tag.

 

I didn't either. Maybe Zambrano should buzz Cap to let him know it's not appreciated.

[ToupeeOnFire]

That's just terrible.

[Jon]

Damn Ronny, take second.

There wasn't really a way to tell if the ball was going to get by the player backing it up or not. If he came up with it, Ronny would've been out at second.

 

Ugh. No balk?

[Warpticon]

Wow...again.

[abuck1220]

z's gonna drill capuano.

 

how about we just stand on the base from now on.

[jyoung55]

THAT WAS A BALK DANGIT!!!!!!

[soccer10k]

How do you get picked off twice? That's horrible.

[Warpticon]

Wow...again.

[Shavo]

Thats GOT to be a balk!!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

How do you get picked off twice? That's horrible.

 

When umpires are afraid to call balks just because they're rare.

[jyoung55]

It is, but he balked, you can't step more towards home than first.

[Shavo]

Walker grounds out to second 4-3.

[soccer10k]

This thread is probably going to be a little slow until the Bulls lose.

[cubweiser03]

Im curious...why do you think that was balk? his leg never went towards home. he lifted it and when directly to first. what i miss?

They didn't show a good angle on the second one, but on the first one he was definitely moving towards the plate.

[Blueheart05]

Lee homers

I know what a balk is. But I didn't look at the replays hard enough. You would think that Cedeno would be a little more careful the second time though. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." They may have been balks, but Ronny shouldn't have been off that far.

[cubweiser03]

you hang it....lee bangs it

[Shavo]

Lee homers to left. 1-0 Brewers.

[J.R.]

They're playing?

[Laura]

ugh.

[Jon]

I'm not sure what that was, but Z's breaking stuff hasn't been there yet.

To me, I thought his foot was going towards home, more than first.

 

And I think Ronny's reaction shows that too, no way he gets fooled that bad twice, rookie or not.
