8/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Dbacks (Davis) 8:40CT WGN

[BigSlick]

Despite Kendall grounding out, I'm happy where he is in the batting order.

[illiniguy]

Nice, don't take the walk Derrek.

[Soul]

Away, away, away, that's the strategy with Lee.

 

Need to stop swinging at pitches off the outside corner, Derek.

[otis89]

I'm not so sure that was a strike.

Should be attack. The punch and judy hitter isn't going to beat you unless there is guys on base.

[Andy]

I'm not so sure that was a strike.

It hasn't been to Lee very much. He usually gets that call.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Please be good, Ted.

[C.C.]

Need a 123 here.

[Soul]

It would be nice for Lilly to start stepping it back up, but here in the desert.....I have my doubts.

[otis89]

Nice!

[C.C.]

Good start!

[C.C.]

Should be a low scoring game today. Both teams can't hit lefties.

[illiniguy]

I didn't realize Hudson had a .381 obp. Why the hell isn't he leading off?

[C.C.]

His big curve is on early on.

[Andy]

Lilly's curve looks sharp.

[C.C.]

Great job Ted!

[Andy]

Great play Aramis on that grounder.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ramirez has improved his defense dramatically this year.

[E.J.]

Nice range by Aram there. He's been looking great at 3b.

[illiniguy]

god why can't we hit crap lefties?

[Andy]

I'm guessing the rule change regarding moves back to the dugout on wild pitch strike threes was not in effect in a certain ALCS game in 2005.

[Soul]

Lordy. That was a horrible pitch to swing at.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Craig Keystone Monroe.

 

I bet he's a fan favorite of college students everywhere.

[BigSlick]

Effin' Cardinals.

 

How do they do that.

[chuckywang]

What was that about soft-tossing lefties?
