3/9ST: s/s Cubs @ TX & SD @ Cubs, 2:05CT, CSN Chicago

[Rob]

Pleasac is convinced we'll be seeing a top flight shortstop this year. He's talking about Izturis.

 

Izturis runs a 3-1 count and watches strike two low and away. Same pitch lets him draw a walk.

[sethuel1]

Plesac is now talking up Izturis by giving a one minute schpiel on his defense and then tacking on "and he can hit a little bit too" at the end.

[woodchip2153]

Rob thanks for the detailed PBP. Unfortunately I don't even have mouthwash to offer you, let alone Scotch.

[RichHillIsABeast]

A walk. :shock:

[sethuel1]

Good Lord Plesac's talking is almost as annoying as my Sensory professor.

[treebird]

has plesac had a comment that last less than 45 seconds?

 

i say no

[sethuel1]

Plesac is really enjoying his talking points. So much that Len couldn't actually announce what was going on there.

[Rob]

Lee swings and misses on a low pitch. Watches a ball inside. Watches a breaking pitch come back inside for a strike. Ball 2 low. Fouls a low and away pitch off. Ball inside.

Cotts is getting rocked.. 7 H 4 Runs given up through 2

[vj9999]

I'm about to mute my TV. Plesac will not shut up.

[CubColtPacer]

Sosa started a rally with a single, Kinsler had a bases loaded double that scored all 3 runs, and Young drove Kinsler in. It's 5-4 Cubs over Texas at the end of 2.
