7/5 Cubs (Marshall) @ Nationals (Bergmann), 6:05 CT, CSN

Changing pitchers... why? The kid's been good tonight.

[98navigator]

Bergmann being lifted for a lefty. He pitched well.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Traber in to pitch for Washington

[Soul]

Boy they really work that bullpen in DC.

Jones has a history of hitting him well, and has 2 doubles today. He also struggles to hit LHP.

 

EDIT: Forgot Floyd was up next. I don't know if he has traditional splits, but the Nats might have been trying to play the numbers.

He hasn't gone very deep in the game since coming back from the DL. He's still working his way back.

 

I'd let Floyd hit, and then I'd probably PH for Jacque in this spot. Or you could pinch-hit DeRosa here and then pinch-hit Pagan for Jacque.

Yesterday notwithstanding, the don't typically score more than 3 runs a game. I disagree with the move however. Acta shouldhave let Bergmann continue to pitch.

 

DeRo PH for Cliff

[Soul]

Lou breaks out the chess board. DeRosa in for Cliffy.

[98navigator]

SAFE

[Andy]

Haha Dmitri sucks

[inari]

Smart move by Lou, even though it wouldn't have worked without an error.

[98navigator]

Come on Jacque, get them home.

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa, pinch hitting for Floyd, grounded to the pitcher , safe at first on a fielding error, E3, Ward holding second

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Wow, nice pick by Zimmerman

[inari]

Good thing we don't have Barrett anymore. I'd hate to have a chance to actually score here.

[98navigator]
