Any idea as to why he did it?

 

it was the leadershp and training of dusty baker....... ok i cant say that with a straight face..

[Balsa]

Soccer10k: Yeah, it sounds like aliens.

[Omar]

HOLY $#!+!!!!

 

Girardi!?

 

huh?

 

He grabbed Olsen by the shirt, and dragged him to the left side of the dugout... and he gave him a nice yelling. You wouldnt be able to see it unless you have CSN.

 

Just wanted to get the word out. Would Dusty ever do that? No. Right move? You decide.

 

Murton homers.

 

Any idea as to why he did it?

 

"Pitch better" ?

 

It really isnt the time to mess with Olsen. It's probably the worst time of his career (thus far?) with the blackeye bringing in media attention and whatnot.

[cubweiser03]

Ok murton. some power.

[E.J.]

I don't understand how you can get to the majors and not be able to hit a lefty pitcher what-so-ever. Jones looks completely lost every time he faces one.

Cedeno struck out swinging

Nice to see Bruce Froemming not screwing a Cub.

This audio on MLB.TV is friggin' ridiculous. The service is so crappy sometimes. *Sigh*

 

Good AB by Wood, I forgot how well he hits.

[UMFan83]

How close was that to a jack for Kid K?

 

Not really...went straight to that 424 area in CF. Probably 15 feet short

[Balsa]

Nomar.....we miss you..... :cry:

[CubinNY]

Quit bringing the team down, rookie.

[minnesotacubsfan]

how is Wood pitching?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jacobs popped out to third base

[E.J.]

how is Wood pitching?

 

Pretty decent. Seems to have more movement on his pitches than last time out, therefore more walks but less hard hit balls.

[minnesotacubsfan]

is he throwing his slider?

[bring stone back]

is he throwing his slider?

 

How's the velocity?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hermida walked

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-5 when they allow fewer than 4 walks.... 8-21 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[E.J.]

is he throwing his slider?

 

Yea, but haven't seen it too often. Looks to be sharp when he throws it though. He's thrown some nasty curves too.

[bhogg]

wow. . . . a lead. . . . i'm liking this!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Abercrombie grounded into a FC, 3-6, Hermida out at second

[Flames24Rulz]

Cubs get the force at 2nd.

[E.J.]

is he throwing his slider?

 

How's the velocity?

 

A little slower than usual. Usually 89-91 with some 93 and 95. A lot more movement on the pitches though.
