5/27 - Cubs (Hill) @ Dodgers (Wolf) 3:10 CST WGN

[Brian]

look at that, bigger k zone now

[Shilzzz]

as much as i hate this team right now, i think the cubs will score this inning.

 

Only because you want us to so very badly.

:oops:

[inari]

We got a huge break right there. DeRosa definitely went around.

[Keener98]

Wow these umps suck Derosa went easily lol

[inari]

Also, have we had any extra innings road games this year? The only extra innings games I recall were at home.

 

Yup. As mentioned earlier, it was against the almighty Washington Nationals.

 

That was at home. :wink:

 

Nice catch by Pierre. I hate him.

[soccer10k]

I hate you Juan Pierre.

[Shilzzz]

i hate you, juan.

[Keener98]

what do you guys make of Piniella cussing on Barrett? first, Eyre has say over what pitch was throw. second, Ethier looked pretty silly on the first two breaking balls, so a third one isn't a bad pitch there.

 

Bob wasn't accurate. Barrett was set up on the outside corner. it's up to Eyre to put it in a good spot.

 

seems like Barrett is a bit of a scapegoat for Lou's bad move.

 

I think Lous just lost his mind and doesnt really know what is goin on anymore

[Allroy]

I hate you Juan Pierre.

 

x500

[jaydee]

pierre threw it while still on the ground for some reason. knowing his arm stregnth, it probably made it about 10 feet

[Shilzzz]

this strike zone really is funky. those low balls are killing me.

[Soul]

Never mind on the pfx question. I found some sort of answer:

 

"The 'Pitch-f/x' value is currently defined as the measurement of the distance between the location of the actual pitch thrown over the plate, and the calculated location of a ball thrown by the pitcher in the same way, with no spin"

 

Seems like a sort of bizarre stat to be tracking on Gameday.

[jjgman21]

good abs, bad luck.

[Keener98]

HR for Jones right here IM callin it lol

[Omar]

Murton lines hard right at Furcal. Jones up. K low and away.

[sweetpeteman]

Now for K Jones.

[Allroy]

Any chance Jock can hit this guy?

[jjgman21]

good abs, bad luck.

 

well, with a certain notable exception

[Keener98]

LMFAO you knocked the hell out of that one Jones lol U suck

[sweetpeteman]

How useless.

[cubfan1955]

HR for Jones right here IM callin it lol

LOL...he hit that ball about 3 feet.

[soccer10k]

Why is Marmol warming up? Guzman should be okay for at least another inning or two.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

pull that outside pitch jock

[Shilzzz]

well, i was wrong.

 

it'd be nice if guzman was rewarded at some point with a win (though i know it's an irrelevant stat, still)

[Keener98]

Can we please just trade Jones and call up Pie once and for all
