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

[texascub]

2 runs just scored on a WP; 4-1 Astros now.

Idiot fundamental plays like these are why Dusty should be fired

[Mizzou]

this is one of the reasons baker should be fired, Prior shouldnt be in there

 

He just barely crossed the century mark, and Novoa is the only pitcher ready; I'd rather have Prior here, atleast let him get out of his own mess

Agreed.

[texascub]

The scoring on the last play was a WP and an E for Prior.

Well all things considered, if baker had any idea what he was doing, he wouldnt only have novoa up

[texascub]

Palmeiro flies out to the warning track to end the inning, with both Novoa and Ohman pretty much ready I think this was Prior's last inning. His final line:

 

6IP 4H 4R/3ER 7/4 K/BB 6.00 ERA 1.33 WHIP

[texascub]

Pierre singles to left, under the glove of a running Ensberg.

[texascub]

Walker is pinch hitting for Neifi now...this is a rather surprising move by Baker.

[UMFan83]

I'm suprised no one is more upset that 2 runs just scored on a wild pitch

[Irrelevant Dude]

If Pierre keeps this up, he could bring the Cubs a nice prospect in a deadline deal. Unfortunately I fear that if he keeps this up the Cubs will instead overpay to bring him back next year.

I'm absolutely floored - what's going on here?

[texascub]

Walker pops out in foul territory to Ensberg.

Dusty just turned his back on Neifi.

it wasant surprising, i was expecting the bases to empty

[texascub]

Lee pops up but it finds grass in the outfield, Pierre at 2nd.

[texascub]

Ramirez pops out to Lamb, runners hold.

[texascub]

Barrett pops out to Biggio to end the inning.

[texascub]

That version of "God Bless America" was quite bad.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

So, how do 2 runs score on a WP?

[texascub]

Biggio with a single back up the middle.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So, how do 2 runs score on a WP?

 

When Prior kicks the throw to the dugout.

One run scored when the ball got away, and Prior couldn't handle Barrett's throw back to the plate so another run scored. Prior received a WP and an E on the play.

6IP 4H 4R/3ER 7/4 K/BB 6.00 ERA 1.33 WHIP

 

3 ER in 6 IP is a 4.50 ERA.

[texascub]

Tavarez with a sac bunt, Biggio to 2nd. Ohman coming in now.

Italy or Germany could use him right about now.
