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

[Keener98]

All we need is a deep fly ball, Pagan. Think you can do that?

 

Yup

[inari]

Way to get the job done, Angel. Didn't leave any doubt. Now get the second run in, Koyie!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pagan sacrificed, to right field , Ramirez scored, DeRosa to third, Fontenot holding first

[otis89]

Thank you, Pagan!

[Roast]

Just K please, hill. No DP. I want Z to bat.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-6 when they hit a sacrifice fly.... 29-36 when they don't

CUBS have 10 SFs in their last 11 games

CUBS are 35-17 when they score first in the game.... 9-25 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[inari]

Just K please, hill. No DP. I want Z to bat.

 

As worthless as Hill is, he should be able to get a run in from 3rd here.

[Fred Hornkohl]

K Hill flied out to center field , runners holding

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Way to get the job done, Koyie! :roll:

[inari]

Apparently Hill's just a touch more worthless than I thought.

[otis89]

Dang it. Come on, Z!

[Roast]

Allright, good, no dp.

 

now it's time for Z to pimp it out.

[otis89]

Z is hitting .600 against lefties this year. :shock:

[anabiono]

can we organize a movement to flood the front office with Soto flyers please?

[inari]

Z is hitting .600 against lefties this year. :shock:

 

I did not know that, and it's flat out amazing.

 

Z's worked a full count. Successful at bat no matter what.

[Roast]

haha, Z was hauling ass down the line.

Z hustling done the line there. He actually made a routine play fairly close.

[Roast]

WASHINGTON takes a 1-0 lead on a Freddie Sanchez HR!

[otis89]

I would've liked another run, but oh well. Hopefully Z settles down now.

[otis89]

WASHINGTON takes a 1-0 lead on a Freddie Sanchez HR!

WASHINGTON takes a 1-0 lead on a Freddie Sanchez HR!

Washington up 1-0 after Felipe Lopez plays long ball.

[Roast]

[Keener98]

Bases loaded nobody out, and we score 1 run... I guess thats better than a few weeks ago when we would have scored negative runs somehow.
