6/11 Astros (Williams) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 7:05 CSN+

[Omar]

Whew. That was close.

 

And way too many pitches for Z. What is Lou thinking?

 

The pen is taxed like a billionaire.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Got a nice little gift from the homeplate ump on that one.

 

And crap has Z thrown a ton of pitches...

 

130 pitches. :shock:

 

Sportsline has only 123.

 

Fred and Yahoo say 128

Gameday with 128

 

It was 128.

 

Len said that Zambrano was close to 130 pitches.

[C.C.]

This will not end well.

[sunnydoo]

Gameday has 128...79 strikes and 49 balls.

[E.J.]

What is Lou thinking?

 

He is thinking his bullpen is tired and/or Sox. Z overtaxed the pen early in the season, so he gets to make amends now.

 

Lou is correct.

 

Lilly threw 10 pitches last night. Let him go a couple innings. Z has been throwing way too many pitches in his last couple of starts.

[Omar]

Please score something! ANYTHING!

 

Hill is due.

[Roast]

Len just said 128.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wheeler in to pitch for Houston

[PrimeTime]

Carlos Lee did that? What the?

[sunnydoo]

Marquis is available also. His day to side throw + he didnt go that long Saturday either.

[Brian]

[Ding Dong Johnson]

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

[Omar]

Lee with a good play.

[Butterscup1679666578]

This will not end well.

 

It usually doesn't.

[Fred Hornkohl]

K Hill popped out (foul) to left field

[E.J.]

So does Lou put Dempster right back out there tonight?

[Omar]

Poor wall.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

[killthegoat06]

128.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

So does Lou put Dempster right back out there tonight?

 

I guess so since he is in the pen warming up.

[PrimeTime]

DUMPSTER UP??? OH MY GOD

[Omar]

So does Lou put Dempster right back out there tonight?

 

He has to get back en el cabello?

[ctcf]

So does Lou put Dempster right back out there tonight?

 

Should we stop using a quality closer because of his second blown save of the season?
