09/08 CUBS (Guzman) @ Atlanta (Hudson) 7:05 CT, WGN TV

[Jim Ignatowski]

LaRoche hits 3rd Braves HR to go over 400 ft tonight and wins a lucky fan $1000. I want Gooz to pitch at the next fantasy camp I go to.

[CubColtPacer]

Ohman is in to pitch for the Cubs.

[CubColtPacer]

Since Guzman didn't walk anybody, of course Ohman starts off his night by walking Andruw.

[Outshined_One]

Thanks for the PBP CCP!

 

Sounds like Guzman had really good stuff that pretty much came and went throughout the night.

[A New Era]

update.

 

Cubs sucking through 5.

You're quite welcome :D. Yes, you have that accurately on Guzman. Most of the batters tonight Guz's pitches were right on the corners at the knees with a very good breaking ball, but he threw too many pitches when he got behind right down the middle. It looked like he was afraid to walk anybody, and then in the 4th he just lost it for a few batters, and that really hurt.

[CubColtPacer]

Ohman gets out of it. 6-3 Braves after 5.

[CubColtPacer]

Ramirez looks at a 3-2 pitch that the Braves announcers think was a ball after the replay, but the ump rung him up as Ramirez started towards first.

[CubColtPacer]

Jones with a HR to left!

[CubColtPacer]

Murton follows with a 1st pitch single to right center-2 outs for Cedeno with Murton on 1st now.

[CubColtPacer]

Cedeno with a grounder past the 1st baseman diving to his right! 1st and 3rd with 2 outs for Soto now.

In-Game updates from the Fecal League:

 

KC is up 5-3 in the bottom of the 5th against Boston.

 

The D'Rays are losing 6-5 to the A's in the top of the 6th.

[CubColtPacer]

Soto strikes out-I know, it's only 7 at-bats, but the guy is looking completely overmatched at the plate right now (even his 1 hit traveled about 40 feet). I hope he will keep playing in September so I can see more of him, but his approach at the plate does not impress me whatsoever.

 

BTW, Hudson did the old fake to third, fake to first pickoff throw twice in that at-bat, and the Braves announcer (I'm pretty sure it's actually Torberg) says that "If you sell that move correctly, it can be a great pickoff move."

[CubColtPacer]

Hudson's night is done now.

Also Pittsburgh is losing to the Reds 1-4, Reds batting bottom of 6th.

[CubColtPacer]

Ohman sets them down 1-2-3 in the 6th. It is 6-4 Braves after 6, with a pinch-hitter, Pierre, and Theriot up for the Cubs.

[CubColtPacer]

LH Macay McBride is in to pitch for the Braves, and Pagan is pinch-hitting for the Cubs.

[CubColtPacer]

Pagan with a sharp ground ball, but it was right where Renteria was standing..1 out.

[CubColtPacer]

Pierre with a bloop that was caught, and Theriot grounded out on a well-executed play by the Braves-Giles went into the grass and threw it to McBride for the out. 6-4 Braves after 6 1/2.

[CubColtPacer]

Wuertz in for the Cubs, and he's given up a run in the 7th already-1st and 2nd, 2 outs now.

[CubColtPacer]

Weurtz strikes out Aybar to end the inning.

 

7-4 Braves at the end of 7.

 

Due up: Ramirez, Lee, Jones

[CubColtPacer]

RH pitcher Tyler Yates is in for the Braves.

[CubColtPacer]

Ramirez starts off with an IF single that almost functioned as a drag bunt-it got past the pitcher, and Ramirez beat it out because it was such a dribbler.

[CubColtPacer]

Lee flies out to the warning track in right.
