[weis21]

why is dempster pitching anyway?

[Alfonso Soriano]

Dumpster is back

[Fred Hornkohl]

When was the last time our catcher even attempted to throw out a runner? Our pitchers are terrible at holding runners on.

 

CUBS have caught 2 base runners stealing in their last 33 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!

how many successful against?

[Alfonso Soriano]

Back to Back Pitchouts.

Brilliant

[Alfonso Soriano]

YES!

[Flames24Rulz]

Wow :shock:

[Keener98]

back 2 back pitchouts with Dempster who struggles throwing strikes? whatever it worked I guess

 

He was safe

[BCVM22]

Hahaha, you don't run on... wait, Dempster?

[E.J.]

Dempster's ninja skills came in handy there. Nice shoulder into Iguchi.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Shutup Sutcliffe, that was an awful play by Kendall, and an even worse decision by Iguchi

[soccer10k]

Good play by both Kendall and Dempster.

 

Well, other than Dempster's pitch in the dirt that made that play necessary.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Iguchi caught stealing, 2-1, Rollins to second

[Flames24Rulz]

Let's get that miracle.

[Sammy Sofa]

Ah, good ol' heart attack Demp.

[Keener98]

Fontenot against the left handed Hamels? Don't we have someone else on the bench? Uh... Zambrano?

 

Yea I like Z's chances better than Fontenots sub .600 OPS

Umm, Fontenot doesn't have a sub 600 OPS.

 

since the All Star break he does

I figured that's what you were referencing... kinda cause you've said that at least 80 times in the last two days.

 

Switch it up a little bit, like maybe mention that his OPS this month is sub 500. It makes your case so much better.

 

ok just for you

[Mizzou]

Well that was pretty cool. Too bad the game is going to be over in 5 pitches.

[CubsNSkers07]

Kendall stopped the ball from getting to the backstop had it gotten to the backstop Iguchi is safe at there up 5-1.

[Electron Blue]

Shutup Sutcliffe, that was an awful play by Kendall, and an even worse decision by Iguchi

 

Pretty sure Sut was talking about Dempster's blocking of Iguchi from the plate... Sometimes Rick doesn't, uh, say the right words. :)
