Well hell, Jason Bay sucks against everyone else but he still owns Z.

[Roast]

DAMNIT!

 

its so infuriating when teams score AFTER the inning should be over.

[inari]

Uh, go Nats.

[UMFan83]

5.5 back in the division at the ASB isnt that bad is it?

[otis89]

That's the ballgame folks. See you after the All-Star break.

[TysonCBulls423]

**** Z. :evil:

[cubweiser03]

SOB

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

The Pirates > The Cubs

[TruffleShuffle]

that's what happens when you can't locate any of your pitches

[Roast]

That's the ballgame folks. See you after the All-Star break.

 

If I didnt hate that eye-roll emoticon so much...this would be a perfect spot for it.

[cubscausestress]

this one is definitely not over. i'm as negative as they come. this one isn't over.

[UMFan83]

This is why it's hard to count on Z as your ace. He certainly has ace stuff and pitches like an ace at times. But othertimes hes so frustratingly inconsistant.

[cubweiser03]

Z may not be great but hill has cost the cubs 4 runs.

[Bruce Miles]

Koyie Hills CERA doesn't get affected by this run, thats the sad thing.

 

Oh yes, it does. All runs in the inning are earned.

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa grounded out to third, 5-3

[UMFan83]

Soft tossing lefty is starting to settle in and own us....

[TruffleShuffle]

no way the cubs score 2 more runs off this bum

[UMFan83]

Koyie Hills CERA doesn't get affected by this run, thats the sad thing.

 

Oh yes, it does. All runs in the inning are earned.

 

Oh yeah tahts right, the error didnt allow a runner on. Well good then!

 

I'm guessing Z's ERA is back over 4

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 30-15 when their pitchers average 15 pitches per inning or less..... 14-27 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Hey fred, out of those 14 wins, how many are Z starts? I'd bet a good majority of them. Z throws lots of pitches, many times, win or lose.

 

They're pretty evenly distributed. Zambrano has 4 while Lilly, Hill & Marquis each have 3.
