5/28 Braves (Smoltz) vs. Crap (Ryu) 1:20 CT WGN

[Outshined_One]

Anyone care to watch the replay to see if Ryu was tipping his pitches?

[mul21]

Did everybody just hear the disappointment in Len's voice when he said Rusch was in the game?

[Southpaw191679666239]

Which newspaper will have the cajones to put the headline: Ryu Suck! ? :lol:

[Cubbies4Life]

I don't think it mattered if he was tipping his pitched...he was just throwing everything belt high right down the middle...anyone is going to hit that hard.

C Jones struck out (called)

Cause that matters when you're throwing meatballs down the heart of the plate. :D

Rusch is SO good.

[cubfan1955]

Rusch is SO good.

We should extend him for 5 years now!

[cheapseats]

Another great cubs prospect.

 

Easy. He is a good prospect. The key word being PROSPECT.

 

Carlos gave up 7 runs in 4 innings in his first start.

Don't judge Ryu by this one game.

[Cubbies4Life]

Rusch is SO good.

 

Great now Dusty is gonna think Rusch is our savior

[Fred Hornkohl]

Anybody think that Smoltz will walk 2 batters in this inning ??

Sounds to me like he's a sinkerballer and was maybe a little amped up for the start today and wasn't getting the ball down in the zone because of it.

[cubfan1955]

No.

[Roast]

 

And he is a 5th degree black belt!

 

Seriously? thats awesome. (i'm a 3rd Degree)

 

Go Ryu!

[Flames24Rulz]

He won't walk 2 more for the rest of the game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre grounded out to first, 3-1

[cheapseats]

Baseball players aren't athletes. :lol:

 

Smoltz gets hurt running 60 feet.

[Shavo]

 

And he is a 5th degree black belt!

 

Seriously? thats awesome. (i'm a 3rd Degree)

 

Go Ryu!

 

According to the Chip, yes.

 

Chip also took great joy in telling us viewers about the day Steve Stone gave up 5 homers in Wrigley.

[cubfan1955]

If that was a Cubs pitcher he'd go on the DL for 3 months.

[Outshined_One]

His Hadoken was a little flat today.

[cheapseats]

If that was a Cubs pitcher he'd go on the DL for 3 months.

 

Pffft.

 

If that was a Cubs pitcher, he wouldn't have been covering first.

 

Keep watching, Glendon will show you how it's not done. :wink:

[cubfan1955]

Chip also just let us know we have 6 people on the roster that can play 2B. Thanks Chipper.
