6/25 Rockies (Francis) vs CUBS (Marquis), 7:05p, CSN, XM184

[sunnydoo]

victorino, rowand, francoeur, and soriano are all tied at 9 in outfield assists.

 

been a while that a Cub could say that.

[mul21]

I don't know if he's been calling it the same way all night, but the home plate ump in the Brewers-Astros game has a strike zone as big as the Pacific Ocean.

[Sarcastic]

Hopefully Wuertz puts a stop to this before it gets out of hand. Nice outing by Marquis after stinking so badly his last few starts. He definitely needed that.

 

It wasn't a good start, but at least he didn't get shelled. It's been a while since he had a half decent start.

still looked out to me

 

have it frozen on Tivo right now. he's out.

 

Well unfortunately for the umps, they don't have 10 minutes to analyze the play on Tivo before making the call.

Inning over

 

Wuertz still hasn't allowed an inherited runner to score!

 

6-3 Cubs

[sunnydoo]

After a stop like that, Fontenot should have gotten the benefit of the doubt. :D

[jjgman21]

I guess games where he gives us 5+ decent innings is a helluva lot better than the Marquis we saw against Tex, Atl, and Fla.

 

Dear Rob Bowen:

 

never call for Jason Marquis to throw the higher than high fastball.

 

Thank You.

[sunnydoo]

mets and cards will play some extra frames.

 

milky still beating the astros 3-1 in the 7th.

doesn't absolve them of their responsibility to see something other than what happened on the field. call could have gone either way, but bottom line is he got it wrong.

[sunnydoo]

woohooo

 

fake rally is started.

[98navigator]

balk!

[jjgman21]

awesome. no strike either.

[CubmanPi]

What did the pitcher do?

[jjgman21]

geez, bad baserunning.

 

 

the Rockies infield D is lacking.

Sori out 6-3

It's a bang-bang play. People here were mixed about it and couldn't tell whether the runner was out or safe. The ump thought he got the call right. They have one chance to do it. Bottom line is it took you freeze framing it on Tivo to know for sure.

Fontenot 4 for 4

[Prior4CyYoung]

[sunnydoo]

up to 1.038 on the OPS.

[CubmanPi]

Fontenot should go back to AAA so he could get more guaranteed playing time.

[genbar]

fontenot's killing it.

[soccer10k]

Alright Fontenot!!
