04/21 NY Mets (Maine) @ CUBS (Zambrano) 6:05pm, WCIU & ESPN

[bcruise]

It escapes me as to how an umpire as bad as Angel can get postseason assignments every year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-0 when they lead after 6 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[illiniguy]

This is going to be a tough one to win what with the 13 guys playing against us.

 

For what its worth, it looked like the first base ump more than made up for the Soto call when he called Reyes out on that DP.

True

[Brian]

Hopefully Z holds it down, and then turn it over to Marmol/Wood

[Rob]

An interesting, unusual note:

 

with none out, runner on second, down 2-1 in the bottom of the 3rd, the Brewers are slightly favored (51/49) by fangraph despite being behind.

 

fangraph must still think Braun hits home runs every at bat.

 

Nope.

 

Run expectancy in that situation is more than 1 run, and the Brewers have more outs left to work with.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Delgado grounded out to first, 3-1

[Mizzou]

I think if that were any other pitcher, Lee would have taken it himself.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-3 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 8-3 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Roast]

Nice play by lee and Z

[Fred Hornkohl]

Church grounded out to first, 3-1

[Roast]

CUBS are 4-3 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 8-3 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I LOVE it when both the "do" and "don't" sections are winning records...

[Butterscup1679666578]

Let him go 1 more.

[Flames24Rulz]

Zambrano was electric tonight.

[Coach C]

Smoked him!

God, I love the big fella. Whats his PC?

[Roast]

Z!!!!!

 

And I love when Ronnie sings the stretch. God he's awesome at life.

[Outshined_One]

Let him go 1 more.

 

He's over 100 pitches and it's only April. Don't wear him down, imo.

[SABR Gamer]

He needs to sing it every single time.

 

 

I love Ronnie.

[splintersag]

Z!

 

SO/Inning over.

 

He's done I think. Batting 2nd next inning.

[C.C.]

PC 101

 

Does he go one more?

[Brian]

101 is good enough with Marmol and Wood ready to go.

[Mizzou]

Let him go 1 more.

 

He's over 100 pitches and it's only April. Don't wear him down, imo.

Agreed. Let Marmol and Wood finish the game.

[Andy]

Marmol + Wood = victory. Let's do it.

[Roast]

Z!

 

SO/Inning over.

 

He's done I think. Batting 2nd next inning.

 

 

Yeah, he's done. Marmol was getting ready.
