"as Carlos Zambrano flirts with history" - Pat Hughes

 

he's pooring it on kind of thick.

[Shavo]

The only way Carlos can pitch 3 more is if this is a 4-8 pitch inning.

[texascub]

NO HIT METER: 6 Innings.

 

His pitch count is making me worried.

 

If he stays on his average pitches/inning for the rest of the game, a CG would still only be 126 pitches which is about average for Z anyways.

that's not true. I don't think he'll be pulled this late in the game with a no-hit bid.

[Monco]

At least we don't have to worry about Jacque losing one in the sun.

[Rob]

As I said before, he will break a bat in half over dusty's head if he's pulled with that still intact.

Good point.

 

Heart just skipped a beat.

Dusty only pulls him with risk of serious bodily harm. Carlos would break him in half.

[Drew Doughty]

Heh, the ticker on gameday said "Bochy praises Young for recent outings."

 

Sort of fitting.

[Outshined_One]

WGN has him at 88 pitches at 1-1 on Burke.

[E.J.]

At least we don't have to worry about Jacque losing one in the sun.

 

He could lose it in the lights though...

[soccer10k]

Nice play ARam.

[Brian]

7 to go.

[Drew Doughty]

i haven't been this animated just sitting in front of my computer in quite some time--ever.

[badger1679666666]

Next two batters are HUGE Z.

[Drew Doughty]

Next two batters are HUGE Z.

 

He should IBB both of them :lol:

[killthegoat06]

5 of today's 8 starters have a batting average of over .300 :shock:

[Butterscup1679666578]

Ring him up!

[Outshined_One]

Call it, blue.
