7/31 Phillies (Eaton) @ Cubs(Marquis) @ 7:05 CT WCIU

Hey Fred, you have stats on Kendall since he joined the Cubs? I'm curious if his OBP is over .300 yet.

 

I can research Baseball Reference myself, I suppose. :)

 

Including tonight, Kendall's OBP is at .314. Still bad, but not pathetic anymore.

Yeah, I think I counted that he's 6 for his last 16 with 1 BB since his horrible first couple games with the Cubs. It's hard to tell if he can keep anything like that up or not.

Soriano flied out to center field

[TMan92]

The crowd loves fly balls.

[E.J.]

Soriano has to be due for a hot streak sometime soon, right?

[badger1679666666]

Crowd,

 

Please shut the hell up,

 

kisses,

Badger

[TruffleShuffle]

braun out to LF, lefty coming in to face the big fella

[J.R.]

So they went from cable exclusive, to not cable at all? Or not EI Cable at least....again...odd...oh well...that's what...5 games a year?

 

That's right, they weren't on EI anywhere before, now they're on DirecTV's EI exclusively.

 

It's not terribly signifcant, as 99% of the games are still available on mlb.tv. Of course, if you're trying to follow the Padres or Phillies with cable's EI, you're going to deal with 100% road announcers and from time to time, no game at all.

Good hustle Theriot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded an IF single to third base , safe at second on a throwing error, E5

[badger1679666666]

Good point about DLEE Bob! IT does go underappreciated.

[Omar]

Team color is red and he has a bright blue glove.

 

That makes sense.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-6 when the opponent commits at least 2 errors.... 44-43 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
