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

[Roast]

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.

now i am starting to get frustrated

 

quick, someone give me hendry's private line!

[cubweiser03]

easy breezy japaneasy

[TysonCBulls423]

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.

 

Come on now. He's an ace regardless of this one bad start. If anything, he's been the only consistent pitcher we've had. First 2 months consistently bad and last month and a half consistently good :lol:

 

This game is definitely not over.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

i'm going to start picking up every lefty pitcher that faces the Cubs and spot starting him for my fantasy team.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Paulino flied out to center field

[Roast]

1 pitch 1 out.

 

nice.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wilson flied out to left field

That's what I'm saying. If he was solid over the first 2 months with a bad start spinkled in, thats one thing and I'd be willing to overlook a start like today. But when you put all his starts together for this year, his ERA is over 4 and his WHIP is over 1.40 (i think)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Youman singled to right field

[Roast]

lol hit ot the pitcher.

[UMFan83]

Everything hit against Zambrano is hard.

[TysonCBulls423]

DeRo is my hero.

[PrimeTime]

DeRo played that ball perfectly.. NICE

[inari]

Excellent play by DeRo!

[Roast]

DEROSA!

[Guest]

Wow, Z bailed out by his defense. GJ DeRo. Edited July 8, 2007 by CaliforniaRaisin

[OleMissCub]

Best investment of the offseason.

[UMFan83]

What inning can we realistically get Marmol in the game?

 

Edit: Nice job DeRosa

[cubweiser03]

BANG off the wall.

BANG your out a second!

[Butterscup1679666578]
