7/4 Astros (Pettitte) vs Cubs (Prior) 1 pm WGN

On the pregame show Dusty just said, " Yea it's unfortunate that we give up so many walks, because when they hit a homerun it is a multirun homerun."

 

You would think that they would turn that around and think about that. :?

If only we had some guy that could show them the benefit of not walking people. We could call that guy a pitching coach. Then maybe we could have another guy that could teach our hitters to not swing at bad pitches and take some those walks the other pitcher is offering. We could call that guy a hitting coach. (I thought about calling that guy a walking coach but Dusty would never stand for that.)

It would be funnier if it weren't sadly accurate.

Pierre proves that even when he hits, he sucks

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Pettite picked off Pierre. 1-3-6. Pierre broke to quick on Pettites first move.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Lee singles to RC.

[UMFan83]

Never seen a team get 2 hits in an inning and look so crappy doing it

[Soul]

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

6-4 FC for the third out. I wasnt keeping count but I would say total pitches that inning under 10.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Biggio on first pitch LO to ARam

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Prior k's Tavarez looking.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Prior walks Lamb

[Mark Priors Calves]

Prior K's Berkman.

 

Hopefully "Good Prior" shows up today.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Prior K's Berkman.

 

On a side note the Astros saw two 3-2 counts that inning.

 

End of one 0-0

 

Go Cubs!

 

Folks I am gone to do the family thing. Everyone have a great 4th and remember, freedom isnt free.

[texascub]

Barrett walks on 4 straight.

[texascub]

Nevin strikes out on a 3-2 count, Pettitte came back from a 3-0 count to get him.

[texascub]

Murton walks on a 3-2 count.

[texascub]

Cedeno strikes out on a pitch low and inside. Yet another example of his lack of patience so far this season.

[Soul]

Though I'd like to wait a little longer, it is starting to look more & more like Cedeno just isn't a major league quality starting SS.

[cubfan1955]

Prior back to the DL after fouling that pitch off his leg. :shock:

[texascub]

Prior grounds out to third after a quality AB.
