6/29 Brewers (Gallardo) vs CUBS (Hill), 1:20p, WGN-TV, XM188

[Sammy Sofa]

Who do you guys think gets called up for bullpen help?

[TruffleShuffle]

if another cub gets called out on a pitch like the one that Pie watched, Lou needs to get tossed. Froemming has been crap this game.

[98navigator]

Petrick looks great out there

[Sammy Sofa]

Nice innings for the kid!

[3Dog]

Has a catcher ever "accidentally on purpose" missed a fast ball to nail an ump in the mask? If not, no one deserves it more than Bruce.

 

Not sure it was intentional but I remember it happening in either Game 1 or 2 of the 1984 World Series.

[illiniguy]

Gah, get a couple more runs here.

[cubweiser03]

well we have what appears to be another decent BP arm.

[CubmanPi]

Nice innings for the kid!

I thinkn they should let him hit now.

We had that play in High School. Especially summer ball when the umps couldn't give two sh*ts. Midway through wind-up catcher would complain about dirt in his contact and then fall away from the batter, leaving the ump wide open.

 

Only got him in the chest protector or mask. Never the neck.

[hawkeyecub]

Way to keep us in the game Billy. Hopefully Alfonso and Fontenot have better luck the 3rd time seeing him.

[inari]

Let Petrick keep going. Seriously Lou.

I think Todd Hundley did it when he was a cub if memory serves me correctly.

I don't know but it will be hard to send Petrick down if he continue to pitch this nicely.

The only good thing he ever did.

Hundley argued a call and got into with the ump, next inning he "misses" a straight fastball.

Izturiz PH for Petrick

[illiniguy]

crap, let petrick hit. Odds are he is a better hitter than Cesar.

cubs should give this to 300 lb froemming as a retirement present

[CDBears1259]

Should have kept Petrick in.

[BleacherBadger]

I like using Izturis here. This way, he doesn't have an opportunity to screw up later.

[TruffleShuffle]

put petrick in the rotation, send hill back to mesa

[CubmanPi]

I bet it was a double switch and Izturis stays in the game.

I didn't know that.

 

Damn...

Sori doubles to RF

[Sammy Sofa]

Double for Soriano!
