6/5 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Astros (Buchholz) 7:05 on CSN

[Guancous]

Pitch count?

 

84 at the end of 6

 

 

likely no to make it all 9, if he does, it'll be 120 pitch game

 

NO way he comes out with a no-hitter because of pitch count unless it's 130+.

 

Even then it's not a gimme. Didn't Kerry Wood get into the 140's in 2003? I know he pitched in the 130's before.

[Sarcastic]

Is it 81 pitches or 84? I hope only 81.

 

ESPN Gamecast says 84.

CBSSPortsline vs Gameday respect.

take your pick

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Ramirez singles up the middle!

[cheapseats]

not too bad of a pitch count. If he stays somewhat economical with the rest of the night he could have 125 or less assuming he keeps the no-no in tact.

 

and if he does give up a hit, he should be pulled immediately. but it's a nice thing to have to worry about.

i'm hoping someone gets a hit, then

 

If that's not a jinx then it's the start of a new tradition.

Wasn't that thru 5 innings though? :)

[Outshined_One]

A 5-6 pitch inning would help his cause.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Brenly on his second pencil of the season :shock: :shock: :shock:

Hate to say anything, but theres no shame in a combined no-hitter.

 

I'd love to see one on the North Side

 

This will be the jinx, btw.

yeah, but he had 27 strike outs!!!

[Omar]

Lance Berkman's in the game? Since when? :lol:

[Shavo]

Jaque is a monster.

[badger1679666666]

How close was Jones to hitting another dinger. Cbssportsline says to "Deep left"?

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Encarnacion homers for the Cards. Cards lead 4-3.

[Balsa]

Wow. Jock crushed that.

[Sosa21MVP]

Good to see Zambrano swinging the bat well and preventing some certain things from happening when he is on the mound! 8)

 

9 outs.

[soccer10k]

ESPN.com has mentioned the no-hit bid.

Rusch would come it and blow it in the 9th (and the game)

Just short of the warning track. Hit more of a line drive.

Berkman made a nice play on what might have been a gapper. Not HR distance.
