[Andy]

Good play Riot.

[TysonCBulls423]

first K in like a year!

[Mark_R]

What a hoss.

 

WTG Z.

[E.J.]

Nice work Z.

[UMFan83]

Good, not dominating, pitching to the bottom of the order.

[C.C.]

I can't believe this game is 0-0. Giants have a terrible offense.

[UMFan83]

I can't believe this game is 0-0. Giants have a terrible offense.

 

I can't believe its 0-0 because it seems like the Cubs should have plated 2-3 already

[TysonCBulls423]

I would like to see some hit and run here

[TysonCBulls423]

come on Rammy.

[Derwood]

oh derrek, you once were so good

[Outshined_One]

Just do the straight steal if you want to stay out of the DP. The hit & run forces Derrek to swing at a (likely) bad pitch while Theriot has to look back to make sure he doesn't get hung out to dry. Too many things can go wrong in that situation for my liking.

[illiniguy]

Another nice ab from Lee. Anytime he wants to start hitting would be nice.

[cubbyvirus00]

Our 3 and 4 hitters look TERRIBLE

[Derwood]

and.....aramis swings at the first pitch. again.

[Keener98]

Hey Aram, its ok to not swing at the 1st pitch every AB.

And Riot is plenty good enough of a runner that we don't NEED to hit and run.

[moorecg]

This is very frustrating....next Cub on needs to steal, then get bunted over....

[aerosmith21]

Idiots quit swinging for the fences already.....would ya????

[UMFan83]

Another nice ab from Lee. Anytime he wants to start hitting would be nice.

 

You mean like the .304/.360/.474/.838 he's put up over the last 7 days? Not great numbers but not terrible either

[cubscausestress]

Another nice ab from Lee. Anytime he wants to start hitting would be nice.

 

you mean like the last 4 games?

[TysonCBulls423]

wow it just got REALLY dark outside.

[Derwood]

did Z gain like 20 pounds since his last start?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was a nice play by Theriot.

[Derwood]

wow it just got REALLY dark outside.
