4/17 Cubs (Miller) vs. Fathers (Maddux), 1:20 pm CT, WGN

[inari]

As much as I love what Cotts did last inning, I hope Lou has someone up. He looks a bit shaky so far in the 7th.

 

And Miller was awful. We're incredibly fortunate to be tied. On most days and against a ton of teams we'd be down by a boatload.

What kind of pisspoor effort was that.

[Moonlight Graham]

Miller battled through it but I would not expect much more from him.

The wind helped him a little.

[illiniguy]

Nice route Jacque. God can we just get rid of him.

[Soriano12]

huhuhuhu...Len said Cox..huhuhu

[Flames24Rulz]

A pisspoor effort. He judged it poorly from the start.

[Moonlight Graham]

Nice route Jacque. God can we just get rid of him.

 

Hope for Pie to just hit the sh!t out of the ball.

[Derwood]

Miller wasn't great. He just got lucky that the Padres didn't clobber his straight fastballs and that the wind is howling in

Murton/Floyd - Soriano - Pie

 

mmm...

[C.C.]

Is anybody else just ecstatic we aren't getting blown out at this point? When I saw Miller Vs. Maddux I feared the worst.

 

Miller gives up 6 hits and 4 walks and it's tied, you're darn right I'm ecstatic.

 

but, but a 5.40 ERA with a 2.00 WHIP is never acceptable, right GOONY?

 

Correct. It's an unacceptable performance by the pitcher. I'm ecstatic that they were lucky enough to still be in the game.

 

I thought it was a quality start by Miller! He had less then his best and battled!!!!

 

I didn't know any of his stuff was his good stuff. And 3 runs in 5 innings to the Padres isnt that great. Their offense isn't exactly mind-boggling.

 

Thought I'd stir the pot a little..

DFA and recall Guzman?

[98navigator]

not really Jacque's fault, I think the wind changed the ball's direction

[inari]

Murton/Floyd - Soriano - Pie

 

mmm...

 

Better yet, Soriano-Pie-Murton

[illiniguy]

Nice route Jacque. God can we just get rid of him.

 

Hope for Pie to just hit the sh!t out of the ball.

Why? That will just cause them to sit Murton.

[Flames24Rulz]

And now Cotts can't find the strike zone.

[killthegoat06]

[Butterscup1679666578]

Come on Cotts...

[C.C.]

And now Cotts can't find the strike zone.

 

Oh no...Here comes the bad Cotts!! C'mon Cotts get outta of this!

You can't be serious.

 

 

He didn't have less than his best. That is his best. His best is bad. And he was lucky to get out of there with a performance that works out to a 5.40 ERA and a 2.00 WHIP.

 

EDIT - Thought so. ;)
