4/14 Cubs (Hill) vs. Reds (Arroyo) 12:05 CT CSN

They can't blow a 7 run lead can they?

 

I think its pretty obvious that they can.

 

The Cubs could be winning Game 7 of the World Series 275-0 with 2 outs and nobody on in the 9th inning with an 0-2 count on the hitter, and they'd still find a way to blow it.

[muntjack]

Just imagine if Lee could still hit homeruns...

 

If he gets on at a .500 clip I could care less.

[VanceJergins]

I think we should not worry about getting Zambrano his normal rest from now on and let Hill pitch when he's scheduled.

[gflore34]

I don't have access to video, was that ball catchable or did roll to the wall as a result of Freel un-necessairly diving?

[soccer10k]

Is there a way we can have a two man pitching staff with only Hill and Wuertz?

[RichHillIsABeast]

Nice inning, Cobs.

[Post Count Padder]

Great inning

Freel didn't dive, he just couldn't get to it.

[Schwarber Fan]

Any chance Hill goes the distance today?

It wasn't catchable and it rolled to the wall. Freel didn't dive, IIRC. It certainly wasn't Edmonds-like.

Thanks

Not catchable. It was a rocket into the gap.

[Flames24Rulz]

Any chance Hill goes the distance today?

 

He was already lifted for a PH.

[otis89]

Any chance Hill goes the distance today?

 

Ward pinch-hit for him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Any chance Hill goes the distance today?

 

He was already taken down for a pinch hitter

Is Howry necessary in a 7-0 game?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

[E.J.]

Geez. Lou still brings in Howry. He's not going to have an arm by June.

[Post Count Padder]

Double switch. Howry in for Hill, Murton in for Floyd.

[otis89]

Is Howry necessary in a 7-0 game?

 

Since he hasn't been all that great, Lou probably wants to get him into a game where there's not as much pressure.

[Rob]

While it's nice that Murton is thought of as the better defender, I sure hope his value to the team isn't as a defensive sub.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ross grounded an IF single to shortstop

[RichHillIsABeast]

Wow, that was a nice play even if he didn't get him.

[Post Count Padder]

Great start. :roll:
