6/7 Cubs (Hill) @ Braves (James) 6:35 CSN

[Mizzou]

Jeez, with Johnson covering second on the steal and the first baseman holding Theriot on, there wasn't a single defender on the right side of the infield.

Yeah, that's the point of a hit and run.

 

Yes I realize that... the camera angle just really showed it well, that's all

Sorry, I wasn't trying to come off like an ass.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Argh, lazy fly ball drifts out in the shallowest part of the park.

It's cool.

cheapie

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Lame HR

[rynefan]

Kyle... Yeah, that's what I mean. He's not the best ever, but he's coming through lately.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It amazes me that Pie can be putting up an OBP of about .290 and striking out a ton, and everybody thinks he has done great in the majors.

 

Nice last couple of games, though.

 

He's 9 for 22 since he got recalled, that's why people think he's done a good job.

[PrimeTime]

LOL he swung at a ball at his head

He definitely appears to be a different player since being recalled.

[OleMissCub]

Jeff's so easy to K on the high fastball.

[rynefan]

Cha-ching!!!!!! That was a terrible swing at a terrible pitch, almost made me laugh out loud.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Frenchy K's. One out.

striking out 17 percent of the time isn't anything out of the ordinary

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Diaz breaks his bat and pops out to Lee.

 

Two down.

[Soul]

Rich looks like he's got good control tonight. Ahead in a lot of counts. Too bad that homer, but oh well just continue on.

It doesn't really portend future success when combined with walking 1.4% of the time.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

McCann grounds out to end the second.

 

2-1, Cubs.

[RichHillIsABeast]

hahaha, you like that drop down?

Pie is capable of maintaining the strikeout rate. Do you really think he's going to continue to walk only 1.4 percent of the time? his career isoD in the minors is .54 or .55

[OleMissCub]

Jeez, D.Lee strikes out alot. Weird how some great hitters strike out so much.

[Soul]

DLee starting to struggle.

Nope, I expect him to start walking more soon. I just don't think he's done anything in the majors yet to justify the building excitement.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Murton grounds out to third. Two down.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Murton, blah.

I fail to see the excitement beyond that which would normally follow a young player having a great game.
