5/15 Cubs (Zambrano) at Mets (Maine) 6pm CSN+

Maine = Fool's gold.

 

Z= fake gold

[dew1679666265]

Maine is not fooling anyone today.

 

Every hit I've seen has been very hard somewhere.

[Soriano12]

Standard Jock Jones AB.

[A New Era]

gotta get these runs home. Don't care if we have a 3 run lead or not.

[killthegoat06]

OUR OFFENSE SUCKS!

 

it.s working......

[C.C.]

They are walking IZZY to get to Z.

[dew1679666265]

The Cubs are getting hits by swinging at the first pitch. Could Maine be tipping his pitches? I don't get the game on TV, so this is pure speculation.

 

His pitches don't have much movement. Everything's looked very straight.

[Rob]

Walking Izzy to get to Z?

 

I love the fact they just did that. Even if Z gets out, it brings up the top of the lineup for next inning.

[Soriano12]

Izturis intentionally walked.

 

Note that, you wont see it for another 10 years.

[otis89]

Make 'em pay Z! You are a better hitter than Izturis!

[C.C.]

2-0! Dont swing Z.

[Rob]

I think you have to give Z the green light there. Jeez, what a missed opportunity.

[texascub]

Granny for Z here! Book it!

[Jon]

And he misses a grand slam by less than 10 feet...

[C.C.]

JUST FOUL! That was ball 4.

[Roast]

THAT was close.

[Soriano12]

Granny for Z here! Book it!

 

But for a few feet.

[Mark_R]

F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[C.C.]

Well that sucked!

[dew1679666265]

Z K's on a high fastball around shoulder high. Inning over, we don't score. Still 3-0 Cubs.

[Rob]

Maine with 73 pitches through 3 IP. Looks like we'll be seeing that bullpen pretty soon.

[killthegoat06]

K :twisted:

[CubmanPi]

You knew Z would be hacking away after coming so close on that foul ball.

[Soriano12]

Key to the inning was Jock Jones pounding the ball to 2nd base with runners at 2nd and 3rd. Spot on Jock!

[C.C.]

Z K's on a high fastball around shoulder high. Inning over, we don't score. Still 3-0 Cubs.

 

If he didn't swing at any of those pitches he would've walked.
