4/17 Dusty Baker's Reds (Volquez) @ Cubs (Lilly) 1:20 WGN

[bukie]

Lee grounds out on what might have been ball 4, depending where the zone was on the pitch.

[David]

WTF? Horrific call.

 

The zone has been moving around all game.

 

Yea, but that was by far the most egregious one I've seen all game.

[XZero771679666304]

I see that Dusty is letting a young pitcher pitch well over 100 pitches to salvage a game in a 3 game series.

 

In other news, the sun will come up tomorrow.

 

 

How much you wanna bet that Volquez comes out for the 6th?

Nah, there have been worse, but on strikes that were called balls.

[bukie]

I do have to say, though, I have been very impressed with the Cub hitters' patience in this game. Volquez has thrown 112 pitches through just 5 innings, and the Cubs only have 4 hits. Almost every hitter has been working the count.

 

This is the way to deal with a good pitcher.

[El Ridda]

Volquez at 111 pitches.

 

Dusty going to leave him in?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This ump's strike zone is bad.

[laurens]

This ump's strike zone is bad.

We need instant replay in baseball bad :(

I'd bet the same amount I would bet on the fact that Dusty has no idea what Volquez's pitch count is. Or that he even knows what the term "pitch count" means.

Warning: Lilly's ERA has dropped below 9.

That's being kind.

[bukie]

I'd wager that if Volquez's spot in the order doesn't come up here, he'll go back out to the mound for the 6th.

The umpire needs glasses. Bad.

A few more games like this and it might drop below 8!

Warning: Lilly's ERA has dropped below 9.

 

He's working on it.

[erik316wttn]

I really hate you, Votto.

 

Game over.

[E.J.]

Lilly sucks.

[PrimeTime]

Lilly freaking blows..what a bum

He's on it.

What the hell is wrong with you, Lilly?

[Omar]

Well, I expect someone to replace Lilly in 5 days.

[Rob]

His ERA had just dropped down to 8.50... we all saw it coming.

[Garage Party]

Well that's trouble. We can still get five runs on the bad Cincinnati bullpen, though, I'm sure.

[CoolHandLuke]

suck it votto
