4/15 Cubs (Lilly) vs. Reds (Lohse) 1:20 CT WGN / XM188

[Tracer Bullet]

I know Soriano's been struggling, but Barrett hasn't had that much better of a start either.

 

But Soriano was our big offseason acquisition and is supposed to be setting the table. I'd like to see more patience out of Barrett too, but Soriano is starting to really aggravate me.

 

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. I'm getting pretty annoyed by the fact that it seems like he starts out every count at 0-2.

 

But Barrett has had his fair share of pretty bad ABs as well.

 

sounds like we're in agreement then.

Checkin in. How's Lilly looked so far?

[Sammy Sofa]

That inning is OVA.

 

Am I the only one who hates this whole OVA shtick?

 

No, it got old after it was said the first time.

 

Fine, fine, I'll retire it...the bit is OVAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[Tracer Bullet]

Griffey singled to right field

 

He initiated the #42 thing. Jackie's watching out for him today. He's going 4/4. Nothing we can do about it - best to just hope they're all singles.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Encarnacion struck out (called)

[soccer10k]

Lilly fooled Encarnacion on that one.

[Sammy Sofa]

WOOT! Nice strikeout!

[Post Count Padder]

Nice pitch by Lilly

[OleMissCub]

I wonder if there are any white or latino players wearing 42 today?

Pretty good. His curve's been kinda eh today, but his change and fastball are working.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Woo Lilly!

Inning over.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was an efficient piece of work by Lilly.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Yay!

[98navigator]

Good job by Ted. He has to be a little more efficient however.

 

33 pitches through 2

Hah! I didn't even think about what his initials were...

[hawkcub]

I wonder if there are any white or latino players wearing 42 today?

 

I believe the whole dodger team is.

 

I'm not sure but I thought I heard the whole Astro team is to.

The entire Cards team was at least considering it.

I don't like that abbreviation. Too close to TLR.

The Astros didn't have any black people willing, so the whole team just decided they'd do it.
