Why does Lilly fall apart in the 4th?

[Derwood]

does anyone else's CSN audio sound like it's being remixed by T-Pain right now?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I don't think Lilly's thrown a curve for a strike since the first batter of the game.

[Roast]

Why does Lilly fall apart in the 4th?

I has to be something with the second time through the order. Maybe it just takes batters one time through to figure him out.

[Soul]

I was going to say time & time again last year we wouldn't have gotten the 2 out hit. That's the difference, so far.

 

Would it interest you to know that the Cubs hit .329 with a runner on third and less than two outs last season?

 

I'd be more interested to know what the Cubs .avg was of not scoring any runs with the bases loaded last year, and how that compares with the league.

 

But then again, I'm not the one who was complaining.

[Roast]

Well here we go.

 

 

Bases juiced.

[Derwood]

Lilly.....fantasy team.....etc.

[Guest]

Way to go from 0-2 to a walk, Lilly. Get out of this.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

If Lilly can't get through the fourth again, I think we have to consider putting him in the pen and moving either Marshall or Lieber into the rotation.

[Banghart]

Positive thoughts. Positive thoughts.

[Roast]

Lilly.....fantasy team.....etc.

I've got Kosuke, Aramis, and Zambrano.

 

I'm doing good this week :D

[TruffleShuffle]

how is nelson figueroa in anyone's starting rotation, let alone a team that is a serious contender for the NL crown?

[Banedon]

I hate to say it, but Delgado is due.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'm having a really hard time not hating Ted Lilly.

[Roast]

Well that's good.

 

Lets get out of this BS now.

[TheDude]

Way to go from 0-2 to a walk, Lilly. Get out of this.

To be fair, the count could have been 0-4, as the 3rd and forth pitches looked like strikes.

[swordsman]

Popped it up!

 

2 down

[Banedon]

If Lilly can't get through the fourth again, I think we have to consider putting him in the pen and moving either Marshall or Lieber into the rotation.

 

DL him with soreness till he can get his velocity back.

[Outshined_One]

I hate to say it, but Delgado is due.

 

Thankfully, he'll redeem that another time.

[E.J.]

If Lilly can't get through the fourth again, I think we have to consider putting him in the pen and moving either Marshall or Lieber into the rotation.

 

Um...

 

There's a guy down in AAA who would like a chance. Seems to be throwing pretty well right now.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

2 down, boys and girls

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was a big out, but not out of danger yet.

[Roast]

YES!

 

*WHEW*

I'd be more interested to know what the Cubs .avg was of not scoring any runs with the bases loaded last year, and how that compares with the league.

 

National League, 2007: 2716 plate appearances with the bases loaded, 1979 runs, average of .73.

 

Cubs, 2007: 164 PA, 106 runs, .65
