08/13 CUBS (Marmol) @ Colorado (Kim) 2:05 CDT, WGN TV, XM188

[Fred Hornkohl]

Izturis flied out to center field

[soccer10k]

10 walks today in Coors. Not good.

 

Wow. I knew Marmol walked a bunch of guys but I didn't realize he walked 8 and the Cubs have allowed 10 walks on the day. I guess it's not surprising that the Cubs have walked the most batters in the majors this year.

 

Yup-what was shocking to me was how easy it all was. It was pretty easy for the Rockies to stand up there and walk all day when few pitches get even close to the plate. It seemed like that one batter he would throw 3-4 strikes in the at bat, and then walk the next guy on 4-5 pitches where very few if any were borderline pitches-and that seemed to happen all day long.

 

106 pitches today and less than half (52) were strikes.

Jones grounded out to second, 4-3

wow

 

I wonder if it's a control issue with the FB or breaking stuff. I think he's a slider, FB pitcher, does anyone know if he throws a change or some other breaking pitch?

Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS

[NorthsideAvenger]

That guy Izturable

 

Oh brother. #-o

 

 

But ok... :D

[BeerHere]

The home half of the ninth goes right through the heart of their order (Helton, Atkins Holliday)

 

I have a bad feeling about Dempster today. He seems to be at his worst when the team needs a win the most.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Back to Back HRs to win it?

[BeerHere]

That guy Izturable

 

Oh brother. #-o

 

 

But ok... :D

 

He has accounted for three of the Cubs runs today though.

[indycub]

Helton is gonna eat Dempmster alive, as he always does

 

Nice pick, Dusty :roll:

 

Eyre is .156 against leftys, he shoulda been in

[Fred Hornkohl]

Helton popped out to shallow left field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Atkins popped out to shallow right field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Holliday singled to center field

[InconspicuousZ28]

Here we go....winning run comes to the plate....

[Butterscup1679666578]

gg Cubs.

[beersoakedivy]

2 run homer coming up

[BeerHere]

Dempster threw pitch 4 up and in for a strike looking and never went back to that spot.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Base hit ties it now....

[Fred Hornkohl]

Holliday stole second base

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

It's never easy.

[indycub]

Damn Dempster, That wasn't very "cub-like" :lol:

 

 

CUBS WIN!!!

[Butterscup1679666578]

yay.

[Flames24Rulz]

wooooo.
