9/13 Cubs (Trachsel) @ Astros (Williams) 7:05 CST CSN WGN720

[Little Slide Rooter]

PH for Trachs (please).

would it be pinch hitting? I mean, would he have to come out?

 

I was thinking the same thing. Could they say as a last minute lineup change, someone like Ohman was the scheduled starter, or once the lineup cards are exchanged, does Traschel have to be start?

[Lockes Eye Scar]

4 won't be enough

[TruffleShuffle]

i have no idea if it's true, but it sure seems like soriano lots of bombs with the bases empty and makes lots of outs with men on base

 

yup it's true... .888 OPS with bases empty, .763 with runners on.

[hawkeyecub]

Great start.

[treebird]

time to pull fontenot and floyd and trachsel

[Little Slide Rooter]

That was just comically bad.

[E.J.]

Nice work Floyd.

Pence doubled to right field

[Schwarber Fan]

Pence, Floyd, Jones and Fontenot

[RynoRules]

Why the heck are you bunting in that spot?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Biggio sacrificed, to first base unassisted, Pence to third

[CDBears1259]

LOL, astros' broadcast called the Cubs defense shabby. No room for them to talk.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Berkman popped out to shortstop

[hawkeyecub]

3 pitches, 1 hit (error), 2 outs.

Well, the right 2/3 of our outfield sucks

While true, IIRC we saw some pretty bad D on the stros' part last night.

[Little Slide Rooter]

nice escape. There was a huge part of me that knew for a fact that that pop up would trickle out of Ramirez' glove.

[Schwarber Fan]

Good job by Tracshel to get out of it

 

Gameday has died

[Mizzou]

Very nice first inning for Trachsel.
