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

[C.C.]

Well that's the inning

 

Unless Kendall walks or is HBP, no way he does anything...

 

HOLY SH<<

 

crow never tasted so delicious

 

What's funny is I was just writing I agree Kendall sucks! I had to back space rather quickly...

[YearofDaCubs]

That guy needs to work on his hair.

[TruffleShuffle]

Well that's the inning

HOLY SH<<

well it's not your fault... who could predict that the pitcher would throw a thigh-high fastball right down the middle on an 0-2 count. Even a turd like Kendall can hit that once in a while.

[Bruno7481]

in news related to the fact that our current catcher cannot hit, throw or otherwise field, soto has a double and homer tonight

 

Quit blaspheming Kendall!

[Sammy Sofa]

3rd Phillies injury at Wrigley in 2 games :lol:

I see the "Injury Delay" on GameDay . . . who got hurt?

 

The pitcher's pride giving up that hit to Kendall.

[Omar]

If Marmol can get a hit, it's simply the Cubs' day.

 

He's a relief pitcher that is somewhat working the count. That's good enough for me.

[J.R.]

Yeah...I'm charter...maybe its a DirecTV/Charter difference..

 

As part of the compromise with MLB, DirecTV gets the Phillies and Padres feeds that are unavailable on the cableco EI packages.

[Keener98]

Wood K's 2nd batter he faces on a offspeed pitch hit 92 on the gun against that batter

 

3rd batter pop up first pitch

[Sammy Sofa]

Well that's the inning

Nah, he still sucks. Like Jacque, the sun has to shine on a dog's ass at least once in a while.

[YearofDaCubs]

Am I the only person happy that Blanco is in the minors? I don't want the guy hurt but I'm glad he's not on the 25 man.

And for that, I'm thankful.

Let Marmol finish it off

Thanks for the Wood updates, Keener. They're much appreciated.

That is really strange...Why Philly and the Padres?

Gun to your head, Blanco or Kendall...who do you choose?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 48-5 when they lead after 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Blanco had that ridiculous June (Or was it July) last year. I'll always smile when I think about it.

[TruffleShuffle]

does it matter? our catchers can't hit anyway, at least blanco can field little bit

[A New Era]

Both Jacque and Jason are historically better 2nd half players so maybe just maybe Kendall can improve a bit. That knock might get him some confidence he needs.

I was afraid I'd mess it up a la Tommy Boy.

Go CUBS !!

 

Finally. Some encouraging numbers.

It depends what Blanco we get. If it's the Blanco of last year, he's better than any catcher the Cubs have had this year has done offensively, including Barrett (a sad fact but very much true).
