Murton and Jones first pitch swinging. :cry:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS

[Mizzou]

Murton and Jones first pitch swinging. :cry:

Murton swung at the 2nd pitch actually, according to Gameday.

[Sammy Sofa]

Murton swung at the 1st pitch? Gameday says it was a called strike.

[CubColtPacer]

Murton and Jones first pitch swinging. :cry:

 

Murton took a strike first, and Jones as of last Sunday according to the WGN blog had a .652 batting average when swinging at the first pitch. With Jones's problem with swinging at sliders late in the count, I'm fine with him attacking the first pitch if it's good.

If he saw two pitches I missed one of them. Must have blinked at the wrong time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Olmedo pinch hitting for Weathers, flied out to deep center field

[da bears]

Holy crap, the first batter is OUT!

[Jon]

This strike zone is ridiculous. Apparently the outside corner is down the middle of the plate.

[JGalt73]

Dempster threw 35 yesterday and looked bad. Can no one else pitch in a 3 run save situation?

[sweetpeteman]

Bad line for Jones today:

 

0-5, 2K, 9LOB, 6 w/2out

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-4 when they draw 6 or more walks in the game :shock:

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

One down!

[da bears]

Here we go.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lopez doubled to the wall in right center field

[Sammy Sofa]

Anyone who's watching the game, what speed is Dempster hitting with his pitches?

[Shavo]

There is a new version of drjekylll and mrhyde

 

it is drdempster and mrdumpster

 

i tried.

[cubfan1955]

Never easy.

[Jon]

Dempster threw 35 yesterday and looked bad. Can no one else pitch in a 3 run save situation?

Like Novoa or Aardsma?

 

Nah.

 

And remember that Dusty was saying that he wanted to stay away from Eyre today. Who was the first arm he warmed up?

You might want to try spaces... Dr. Dempster.

[Brian]

[YearofDaCubs]

Dusty Baker, the manager who puts his players in the best position to succeed.
