5/20 Sox (Masset) v. Cubs (Z) 1:20CT CSN, WGN & WGN 720

[anemic offense]

That's what you get for not going after Konerko like you should.

 

I don't know how you can be mad at Z for that. He threw two or three pitches that anyone else in baseball would have swung and missed at.

 

That's b/c he was going for the K and not the out like he always does.

 

Ever since Z became more of a "strikeout" pitcher, his effectiveness has decreased accordingly. He doesn't as deep into games as he used to, his groundball to fyball ratio has plummeted, and he has already given up more homers this year than he did the entire '04 (??) season.

 

He used to be able to negate the walks by giving up few homers and enducing many a double play. Now it just doesn't happen. I wish we had that old Z back.

 

Not quite, but close. He's given up 11 HR's this year and gave up 14 in 2004. So he'll likely have given up more sometime in June.

 

Maybe it was '03 then. I'm pretty sure one of those years he only gave up 9 or 10 homers during the regular season.

Pierzynski popped out (foul) to the pitcher

Correct me if im wrong, but i believe hes given up more HR already than he did the whole 03 season, which i believe the total was 9.

 

correct, sir.

[Roast]

Yeah, it was 03.

 

And there's No. 12 given up on the year.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Sure would be nice to get a sweeps of the Sox....

 

Oh here we go.....

[RichHillIsABeast]

Trade Z near the deadline. Christ, Guzman is a better pitcher than Z right now.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Should have started Dempster today.

[TruffleShuffle]

what a meatball that was

[abuck1220]

the starting pitching is soooo strong i think we should remove a good starter and move him to the bullpen.

[Flames24Rulz]

Oh, so NOW he can throw 96.

 

What a headcase.

[BCVM22]

Who was it who said that because there was no reason the Cubs should lose today, that guaranteed they would? You may well prove prophetic.

[Roast]

that was scary.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Z, you whiny little baby. STFU and get guys out.

[Butterscup1679666578]

come on top of the order, get some runs back.
