5/9 Snakes (Haren) vs Cubs (Lilly) 1:20PM WGN TV/Radio

[17 Seconds]

That ball was scorched by Theriot.

[E.J.]

Hooray for runs. Keep pitching well Ted.

Ryan Theriot - Rally Killer

 

oh well, i won't complain. good 2 out hitting there!

[Outshined_One]

That Cubs pullover...wow. There's a lot wrong with that.

Riot grounds to SS.

 

PLEASE hold the lead now, Lilly and bullpen. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!

 

What's Lilly's pitch count at, anyway?

[OleMissCub]

What would have happened if that ball hit Reed Johnson?

 

Johnson would have been out.

[David]

This is why I would not be even a little bit opposed to the DH coming to the NL.

 

You're opposed to strategy?

 

Honestly, I'd rather see the "strategy" of the pitcher battling a better hitter in a tough spot than the cop-out of walking an actual (I guess we can call Reed that) hitter to face an easy out. You know what they say about opinions, though.

 

 

 

LOL, the D'Backs paid anyway, though.

I miss satin jackets.

Why do we always have to get baserunners with two outs..

 

OBP by outs

0 - .367

1 - .407

2 - .332

 

With 2 outs RISP .344.

 

They don't really get on a lot with 2 outs, and when they do it's more often with risp than anything else.

Damn you and your facts.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Whoa, I just checked the score. the Cubs arent losing. wha...what happened?

75

Johnson would have been out.

 

No he wouldn't have. If that were true defenders would be chucking balls at baserunners all the time.

[Brian]

I turned the tv on when Derosa got the infield hit

I turned the tv off when Geo struck out

 

Maybe I should not watch.

[OleMissCub]

I should have said he is out if he intentionally interferes with a thrown ball.

 

Just realized I didn't make that clear.

[17 Seconds]

I bet Lilly gives up 2 this inning. Yes, I'm feeling very pessimistic today.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Lilly at 75. Hopefully he can go 2 more for us and then turn it over to Marmol and Wood.

Sure, if you want to look at the actual records of what happened. Don't you watch the games?

Until we throw a fastball to Chris Young that is.

So probably 2 more innings if he keeps dominating. I can live with that.

[jersey cubs fan]

:lol:

 

That worked!

 

Nice job getting the way of that, Reed.

 

Good job by Lilly, but I think I'd have given the IBB to Reed there, too.

 

A guy who can't hit righties should'nt be IBB.

[bcruise]

What a crazy turnaround.

 

(Please don't throw CY a fastball, still)

[rawaction]

Huge inning for Lilly. Get thru this one, and he could pitch into the 8th.

[Outshined_One]

The good kind of WTP!

[Butterscup1679666578]

thank god the wind is blowing in.
