5/16 Nationals (Hernandez) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 7:05 PM WCIU

[Balsa]

Question of the day: Without looking, guess who has the highest strikeout total on the Cubs?

 

Anyone else care to guess before I reveal the answer?

Pretty sure it's Ronny considering his recent struggles.

 

Maybe that's what finally made Dusty (not the poor OBP, of course) move him down.

You'd be correct.

 

Cedeno tops the charts with 24 strikeouts for #80 in the Majors.

 

Which is HALF of Wilkerson's 50!!! :shock:

[sweetpeteman]

Is there a rational reason that Soriano (much better SLG) is hitting in front of Vidro (much better OBP)?

 

Because Soriano bats leadoff. Thats were he bats, DONT CHALLENGE IT. WHY ARE YOU CHALLENGING IT?!

[Schwarber Fan]

Z pitching that means.... Blue Alternates

[Fred Hornkohl]

Did they forget to level that center field camera ??

Yeesh. He's only on pace for about 225.

 

Of course, Wilkerson still has an .800 OPS.

[CubinNY]

No walks and Z will be fine

 

Ks Alph.

I dont think we, as directv or dishnetwork, subscribers can get WICU games. The only hope we ever have is if our opponent has the broadcast as well.

 

i have Dish and I get WCIU.

 

 

You're not in Arkansas, though.

Vidro grounded out to second, 4-3

His 6 SB against the 3 CS are really lighting it up, as well.

Vidro grounded out to second, 4-3

I believe we call that a "Pierre"

[Balsa]

Soriano is such a tool. I hope he joins Bonds in the Hall of Shame.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson singled to left field

[Flames24Rulz]

Johnson singles.

Seems like last season I was able to get all of those games but this year I cannot. Or maybe it was 2 years ago....not sure if the replacement of FSN Chicago with Comcast had anything to do with it?

[Drew Doughty]

i love sportsline. instant career stats for the hitter against the pitcher.

 

just thought I'd add that bit of relevance to the topic.

 

Johnson with a single. Come on Z!

[sweetpeteman]

Oh, and the local broadcast (I'm back in DC now) is on Mid-Atlantic Sports Net, WHICH I DON'T GET ON COMCAST, BECAUSE IT ISN'T CSN. dang it.

[Balsa]

Throw strikes!!!

Z comes back from a 3-0 count to get a K to end the inning. Nice recovery.
