7/8 Cubs (ZAMBRANO) @ Pirates (YOUMAN), 12:35 CT CSN

[Roast]

BELLIARD CLEARS THE BASES!!!! 7 - 2 NATS!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[turn2]

This team will not win with this black hole at catcher. Fix it Hendry and not with Hank after his rehab start.

 

Relax. Barrett was a good hitting catcher and the pitchers had an ERA of over 5 with him as a catcher, while Blanco/Hill saw an ERA of around 2.00. Besides, they have been winning since they traded Barrett.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Has anyone got any ideas on why Soto is not here?? I don't understand how you can watch these jokers bat and do nothing.......

[TruffleShuffle]

w00t 7-2 nationals... thanks ned!

[PrimeTime]

SHUT

 

 

 

 

 

 

UP!

[Keener98]

And the Nats break it open! Come on Cubs 3.5 sounds awfully nice!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

110 pitches and Zambrano is staying in??

 

Hopefully he just lets him get Wilson, let a LH PH come up, then bring in Ohman since 3 of the next 4 hitters would be LH.

<3 Nats

[gerby23]

Is there a pitch break down by inning Fred?

 

I'm not Fred, but I've got Z with 21, 20, 25, 12, 16, 16

Thank you Not Fred :wink: . I was just curious about A) the wind up change and B) How long a lash he has for this innning.

That sounds mighty nice, but that's logical. He's going to let Z get up to 140 before he takes him out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wilson grounded out to third, 5-3

They have been winning in spite of the catchers terrible offense.

[Soul]

Oh, for a comeback here. Think of the possibilities.

[cubweiser03]

interviewing the pitcher during the game?

[TruffleShuffle]

That also assumes that the Pirates don't do something crazy like let Chacon hit.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Chacon struck out swinging

Indeed. There have been plenty of things wrong in spite of the Cubs winning. Without some improvements, it's only a matter of time before they quit playing over their heads and come back down to earth.

I went to the TV booth and asked Brenly. He said he just thinks Z was not in sync in the windup and that the stretch has allowed him to quick-pitch and vary his times to the plate.

My friend who is a Nats fan: "I might kiss Ned Yost."

[cubweiser03]

[Keener98]
