4/20 Cards (Looper) vs. Cubs (Lilly), 1:20, CSN & XM-187

[jjgman21]

Damn it Cesar, at least ground out to 1st.

 

I don't like the guy, but he just took a pitch four inches off the plate and it was called a strike. the pitcher threw it there again. you have a choice, 0-2, or try to slap it by the thirdbasemen.

 

it's easy to fault the Cubs for their offensive woes so far this year, but just look at that inning. the ump cost them one baserunner in Jacque's walk, a lined scorcher that will go down in the books as 0-1, and an ump taking away any chance a slapper like Izturis has to get on base.

 

such is the life of a Cubs fan.

Izturis with a horrible AB :x

 

Has he had a good one since ST ended?

 

lol, I'm just mad because he needed to be hitting to the right side.

Wasn't there 1 out? Who cares what side he hits it to.

 

Hitters should always be looking to advance the runner. There's no guarantee Blanco can score from 2B on a single... You can't predict the future, Lilly might have singled. It was a bad at bat by Izturis!

I hope that Looper gets nice and tired out there on the basepaths.

The ump seems pretty consistent to me, so I don't think there is anything to complain about yet.

[Andy]

Geez, KoJock made me worry there. 2 down.

[98navigator]

Eckstein out to CF

[Butterscup1679666578]

Way to run that down JJ!

[Flames24Rulz]

Jacque with the running catch for out number 2.

I hope our season isnt based on how the umps call a strike zone

[Chocolate Milk]

I don't see how he couldn't having to carry around that enourmous head.

[UMFan83]

If no one discovered the answer yet, Ron Santo to sing TMOTTBG.

You never know. Remember when Alf got the big RBI when the ball he hit actually hit the bag and caroomed out into the field?

That doesn't matter. There could have been a WP. The bottom line is Izturiz didn't advance the runner to 3B.

wrong. hitters should always be looking to hit the ball hard. whether that means pulling an inside pitch or going the other way with an outside pitch.

 

this "advancing runners" thing is no good.

With one out, the only thing he should be thinking about is advancing the runner to home plate.

[Bixby]

looper's gameday picture looks like shrek.

 

Lilly looks like Robin Thicke.

You'll need to make an account.

[da bears]

Wow I just saw the Cubs outfield. Terrible.

[Jim Ignatowski]

Hits by the opposing pitcher = lame.

 

But the Card pitchers are their best hitters, so not a big deal. :lol:

Nice play DLee.

[98navigator]

Duncan out 3-4

[Flames24Rulz]

All right. Top of the order due up for us.

giving up outs to "advance runners" is analogous to "competing within the division". One should always aim higher

[RichHillIsABeast]

This Lilly guy isn't half bad.

This is only Lilly's 2nd year in the NL, and first since '99 with Montreal so it isn't like his hitting history is very extensive either.
