I honestly think that becoming a Cub make people stupid.

[OleMissCub]

That was a cheap balk call.

[Keener98]

Yup that was the right call Come on Rich get thru this

[Rob]

Is that run earned for Rich, or is a balk kinda like an error?

[OleMissCub]

Ump was thinking "I knew he was going to balk. I knew he was. I was waiting for it."

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

THIS IS AN AL PITCHER STOP THROWIN BALLS TO HIM

[seanimal]

ok, lets go rich

[Drew Doughty]

That's total BS, more for the 07 season... they wait and call it when we've got a runner on 3rd. I hate the umps this year.

 

his new delivery has been a balk waiting to happen. i reall ydoubt the umps said, "haha lets screw the cubs and have rich hill balk in a run."

[SouthSideRyan]

Thank you for not walking an AL pitcher.

[radarluv1]

rolen was getting eaten up in that bad inning in kc.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

verlander is just dealing...

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That was a cheap balk call.

 

No kidding, he's really screwing with that runner on third base there. Only called because Hargrove complained.

[SouthSideRyan]

That looked like an obvious balk to me. I don't understand the complaining.

[Andy]

Is that run earned for Rich, or is a balk kinda like an error?

I'd guess a balk would be earned

[Shilzzz]

I honestly think that becoming a Cub make people stupid.

It wasn't even his new delivery, it was him starting to move to set and stopping. Every pitcher above little league knows you can't do that yet the Cubs are the stupidest team in the majors.

[seanimal]

lets get some runs

[Careless]

What did he do?

flinched while getting into his set position

like a double take

[Andy]

Nice Rich. Let's get some more runs.

[abuck1220]

woulda got out of it if it weren't for the balk.

[sunnydoo]

verlander thru 7 with a no no.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

bottom 7 3-0 tigers.....:-

 

that balk was crap

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

did pagan just do the soriano skip before catchin it...ugh :roll:

[Transmogrified Tiger]

No way it's called unless Hargrove complained. It was 2nd and 3rd, he's not deceiving the runner or getting an advantage.

[Brian]

7 no hit innings for Verlander
