3/22ST Cubs (Prior) @ Padres (Maddux) 3:05CT CSN & XM180

[cheapseats]

I'm calling it now.

 

Mark Prior will be struck by lightning.

 

I'd rather it be Plesac.

 

And who's going to pitch for the Cubs if there's a significant delay?

[justlikethecubs]

I'm calling it now.

 

Mark Prior will be struck by lightning.

 

Before or after the attack by rabid wolverines?

 

Keep him away from the hot tub!

Before or after the attack by rabid wolverines?

 

Before, during, and after.

 

If there's a delay, there's a chance we see Kerry Wood throwing. They pushed him back til tomorrow supposedly because there weren't enough innings... well, Hill will get pulled if this game gets delayed more than 15 mins, I'm pretty sure.

[98navigator]

I bet this game is delayed after the inning is over.

Joe Girardi laughs at your pansyosity.

is hill hitting 95?

 

Looks like that gun is off by +3 mph.

I think even Girardi wouldn't take unnecessary risks with a young pitcher who's shown a lot just to keep him in a spring training game.

even if so, that still puts Mark at a better spot than he was last time.

[CUBZ99]

are you sure that the 95 wasn't the ball off the bat? His FB to strike out the guy to end the inning was 91.

[TruffleShuffle]

is hill hitting 95?

 

That's what I meant about the gun. If they're clocking Maddux near 90 and Hill at 95, then Prior was probably sitting at 87-91. But whatever, velocity is less important to me at this point than keeping the ball down and hitting his spots.

 

Oh yeah, Rich Hill is still awesome.

[Rob]

It's a delay, folks!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Rain in Arizona is funny.

After, but before being run down by a stampede of raging bulls.

You're right, the entire state of Michigan does suck.

It wasn't funny when it blew a game (or a chance to check out Fitch) for me last season.

Most of Maddux's readings seemed accurate though, and Hill's other pitches were around 91. Could've just been a couple outliers.

[cheapseats]

Do they have a microphone in a gutter or something?

 

Normally I like the sound of falling rain, but on the broadcast it sounds kind of...icky.

I agree. However, that does not stop U of M from being a giant pile of crap.
