[A New Era]

First time I've heard Ron and Pat since September... I love it! :D

 

Is the game on 720?

 

yes. aaaaahh, maybe that's why I'm so far behind. I'm listening to gameday audio.

Yes it is! :)

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm listening on XM. Not sure how far behind my pbp has been.

Marquis vs Hall

 

Ground out to SS.

 

One out.

[98navigator]

Hall grounds out.

 

I really think Marquis has rediscovered his sinker.

well, it's waaaaaay ahead of gameday audio. .

You're ahead of my radio by a mile, but that's because I don't get this game :D

 

Thanks for the pbp Vance-it is much appreciated.

[A New Era]

have fun guys. I'm gonna go listen upstairs, since my audio is so far behind PBP.

Jenkins vs Marquis

 

Soriano makes a catch in deep left center.

 

Two out.

 

Murton and Soriano criss-crossed and Sori makes the catch

Enjoy! :D

Hall grounds out.

That's what I'm most excited about-not even that he hasn't given up many runs at all, but the fact that most of his outs are ground balls-if he continues to do that, he'll have a good season.

Hart vs Marquis

 

basehit to center on a groundball that bounced on the ball and went up the middle.

[Rob]

It's about the amount of time it takes you to type it behind mine.

 

I love XM.

I totally agree.

 

 

Caught stealing!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Hart caught stealing.

 

Three out.

 

Mid 2, 0-0

[E.J.]

Nice. Barrett guns out Hart at 2b.

[Rob]

Just more proof that Fox is making Barrett look like Bench... I was hooting and hollering until I realized it should be a relatively common occurance.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marquis still looking sharp.

 

One deeply hit ball in the air for an out and the only single a groundball up the middle.

[98navigator]

If Marquis' sinker is working he definitely won't be giving up 30+ homeruns...

 

As exciting is Lilly developing a sinker ball. He too has been getting the majority of his outs on ground balls. You have to love that! :D

[98navigator]

Oh no, he dropped the ball. :lol:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Barrett vs Vargas

 

pitch one: strike looking

pitch two: foul back to the screen

pitch three: ball (curveball, low)

pitch four: reaches on E-7.

 

Jenkins dropped a lazy fly ball.

 

Barrett advances all the way to second.

i thought lilly was a fly ball pitcher. sure a sinker would get groundouts, but overall?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Murton vs Vargas

 

first pitch: ball

second pitch: ball

third pitch: lined out to RF.

Normally, he's an extreme fly ball pitcher but he's working a sinker into his repertoire. This Spring he's been getting a lot of ground balls. Yesterday I read that he's trying to gain confidence in the pitch so he can use it during the regular season.

 

Every little bit helps!
