Second batter- 3 pitches 5-3 putout

 

2 outs, 4 pitches for Kerry

[jam1975]

Third batter- 6 pitches, Walk

 

2 outs, 10 pitches, man on first for Kerry

[Jon]

Wonder if that would have had a chance without the wind blowing in.

 

18 pitches, 11 strikes. Sure had some control problems after getting the second out.

[jam1975]

Fourth batter- 7 pitches, flyout to RF

 

First inning- 17 pitches for Kerry, 10 strikes/7 balls, 1 walk

Did I miss a foul ball on the third batter? I guess I did. Trying to keep up gives me a greater appreciation for Fred and the awesome job he does in game threads.

FPie out at third trying to stretch a double into a triple..... d'oh!

Gameday says it the batter fouled off three pitches, which were the only strikes in that AB.

Thanks. I'm trying to go off the tv broadcast and it's tough to type updates and keep track at the same time. Does anyone even need updates or is everyone keep tracking through other means?

[cubs121]

im trying to keep track on game day

[jam1975]

The camera work on this game is horrible.

[badger1679666666]

cheap hit fisted into center + Sing's mess up of a DP ball = 1 run

[Irrelevant Dude]

Nice looking throw by Pie though... and yeah the camera is giving me a headache.

 

His velocity doesn't seem quite the same, used to be mid 90's and he could reach back for 98-99, now it's low 90's and he reaches back for 93-94.

[cubs121]

well... i got surprised restovich actually ran the count full :shock:

[Jon]

Not much control so far and it doesn't sound like he's been able to do all that much with his breaking stuff.

[Irrelevant Dude]

It must be "kids work the camera" night tonight in Iowa.

I watched a few games in April when it was free. It wasn't pretty...

[badger1679666666]

I like how he's pitching inside quite a bit. Don't really seem to be hard hit balls either.

[Jon]

Certainly not smooth sailing like last time. 61 pitches and 38 strikes through 3 innings.

You're right about that. Wood has looked ok, but the breaking pitches haven't been real sharp and he doesn't seem to be overpowering anyone.

[cubs121]

so hes more like a finesse grondball guy?

[scs_paradise]

this is the slowest moving game thread.....EVER.

[Irrelevant Dude]

so hes more like a finesse grondball guy?

So far yeah. Jamming guys and making some good pitches, but nothing fancy.

[CubfaninCA]

how many runs has he given up?
