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

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I hope this outing means Teddy is back to last years form.

 

This makes 4 straight decent to great starts from TRL, I think he's back.

 

The lack of velocity still concerns me.

 

Why the hell is he throwing 85-86 when he was throwing 90-91 last year?

 

He's touching 88-91 regularly on the fastball, and it's a cool day, doesn't seem too worrisome.

Soto for cleanup por favor

 

No more knee jerk reactions, por favor.

 

 

Gamethreads are all about the knee jerk reactions!

ball 4 aramis

Really Pat? 100 out of 100 times they'd walk a batter with a .290 OPB to get to the pitcher? How about the "make the pitcher leadoff the next inning strategy?" Come on, don't be so afraid to question a manager, they aren't all infallible.

Aram pops out behind 3rd. Drew over to get it. 2 down.

[Brian]

I was hoping a different team would have a infield collision :(

[erik316wttn]

Geez, Kosuke took a fb right down broadway. There's something wrong. He'd have killed that pitch 2 weeks ago.

[Careless]

97 pitches for Haren

[Garage Party]

Fukudome walks.

[Brian]

nice Kosuke

[E.J.]

Fukuwalk. Come on Geo.

[Outshined_One]

Nice job working back from 0-2, Fuku.

[SABR Gamer]

Seems like pitchers are starting to figure Kosuke out, and he has like no power at all, not that this hasn't been said, but I'm just saying again.

[bcruise]

How many guys on this team would have chased that 3-2 high FB?

Ah. Pat & Otto were saying that he was working around 85-86 all game..

 

If what you say is true, I'm a bit less worried.

Time for a SOTOBOMB here.
