How was Kerry's HR pitch?

 

I can't watch the game but I'm guessing it was a trademark belt high fastball on the inner half while Soto was setting up on the outside corner?

 

Gamecast has him throwing 4 straight 95 mph pitches with the same amount of break

[Sosa21MVP]

Keep running on Soriano suckas! Wouldn't you think the scouting report would be out by now? "Um, don't run on this guy". :lol:

[ChiCubsFan]

Soriano with another gun.

[weis21]

SORI!!!!!!!!!

Just saw it on ESPN. Well, I saw the flight of the ball anyway.

[bcruise]

Nice play Sori.

[TruffleShuffle]

that's what you get for forgetting you can't hit, mietkawawperoiqubcwicz

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well Howry survives an inning.

 

We live to play another one.

[C.C.]

Alright! Lets get some damn runs!

[Vanilla Ice]

I so wish we had Murton at this point

[Schwarber Fan]

Whew, somehow Howry got through that inning

 

Offense plz!!

[Allroy]

Nice assist by Sori pegging Mentkeiwitz (sp) trying to leg a single into a double. He made a nice play on that ball as it bounced off the wall. Great throw too.

[weis21]

We're going to take the lead and finish this out, I feel it.

[TruffleShuffle]

put one in the seats, geo

[Rob]

Doug Mientkiewicz is definitely going bald, too.

[ChiCubsFan]

Zambrano homer.

 

Tyler Yates should remember he's Tyler Yates pretty soon.

[Allroy]

Z sighting. He's swinging the bat.

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah of course we are out of pinch hitters again, because (a) we have too many pitchers and (b) piniella loves making relatively pointless double switches and replacements.

[Rob]

I thought Lou usually used Marquis in this sort of situation last year, not Z...

[Vanilla Ice]

Z sighting. He's swinging the bat.

 

If you were Henry Blanco, how bad would you feel?

[DiamondMind]

Nice AB by Soto..pushed it to a full count then delivered a single through the left side

 

...and Zambrano coming up to bat!!

[weis21]

geo is my hero

[Vanilla Ice]

yeah of course we are out of pinch hitters again, because (a) we have too many pitchers and (b) piniella loves making relatively pointless double switches and replacements.

we used 2 pinch hitters on one at-bat and one as a defensive replacement.

 

that's wasting resources

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Zambrano gets the job done with the bunt.

[Outshined_One]

Z will forever be my all-time favorite Cub if he comes through here.
