4/18 Cubs (Z) at Braves (Davies) 6:35 p.m. CT CSN+

Maybe Z needs his blue alt to pitch well. :evil:

 

Good theory. Nice one Mcdunnough. :?

 

I hope you're kidding

 

It may sound strange, but maybe he just feels more comfortable pitching in the alt. blue uniform. :?

[98navigator]

Barrett out to LF

[Ding Dong Johnson]

OMG, ZAMBRANO Sox!!!11!1!

[RichHillIsABeast]

Rothschild to the mound

 

it has to be deflating to have your "ace" look this bad

 

Rich Hill has been awesome. I don't know what you're talking about! :D

 

that's why it's in quotes. People keep calling Z the ace but he isn't!

 

I know, that's why I put the smile. :wink: :D

[otis89]

At least Zambrano did this last April so there's a good chance he starts dominating at some point.

 

It wasn't THIS bad last April though, was it?

[Brian]

I hope you're kidding

 

He's either injured or way too superstitious.

 

or a slow starter

I don't think it's strange at all.

[Mushimus]

I have a feeling our offense will put it on cruise control.

[erik316wttn]

Z has to be hurt and just not admitting it. He's too stubborn to go to Lou and say he can't go.

 

All those Dusty innings have caught up with him, I think.

[Flames24Rulz]

At least Zambrano did this last April so there's a good chance he starts dominating at some point.

 

Yeah, maybe he'll turn it up when we're already 20 games out.

It'd be nice if he didn't cost us 3+ games in the meantime.

I'd like someone to show me the #'s where he's been THIS bad, in april.

[98navigator]

Wow, this is embarrassing. Z lays an egg in the first inning and now the offense has to play catch up.

 

 

 

Jacque doubles

Memorial Day?

[Andy]

MLB Gameday sucks BTW, skipping all over the place.

[seanimal]

I think what Z might have meant was that he was going to win the Cy Young for the opposing pitcher. Makes more sense now.

[DurbanJer]

and the bulls are down by 12 too.

 

this suck

or a slow starter

You're right. I didn't even realize that until I just looked it up. His career ERA in April is over a run higher than any other month.

[erik316wttn]

Sandberg was a slow starter in his career, too, but Christ Jesus, was he ever THIS bad?

 

Yes, I know comparing a batter's start to a pitcher's start is apples and oranges.

either he can pitch or he can't. At this point, he's going to be wearig an entirely different uniform next season!

Is his career ERA in april or ANY month anywhere close to 9.50?

[erik316wttn]

Maybe he meant the reverse Cy Young award.

Oh, so it'll be 8.53 in May? :lol:

[Outshined_One]

All those Dusty innings have caught up with him, I think.

 

If that ends up being the case, let me assure you that Dusty will move to the top of my Most-Hated List for trying his hardest to ruin every pitcher who put on a Cubs uniform during his tenure.

 

Cripes, he should have been fired after the Chad Fox debacle. That was inexcuseable.

No, but we're only halfway through the month.
