5/11 Snakes (Gonzalez) @ Cubs (Gallagher) 1:20PM WGN

[UK1679666180]

LOL, booing Romo.

[Careless]

10 bbs, 1 hbp, 12 ks, 10 ip? heh

 

Whose numbers are those? Hill's?

WGN was showing a no hitter from 1965

 

Oh. Wow thats an odd line.

Guy had 2 10 inning no hitters at age 25 and was out of baseball by 30

[Outshined_One]

Sounds like the fans were 50/50 boos and cheers. That was enjoyable.

LOL @Tony Romo booisms

[UMFan83]

Tony Romo?

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

???

[CubsGM]

Tony got booed when he threw out the first pitch at last year's Cubs/Sox game I went to at the Cell :D

[manbearcub]

Hill just walked his 4th man. 92 pitches, 52 strikes. He really hasn't shown that much better control.

but, but, but... he has 9k's!

 

you're doing that not-at-all tired, completely hilarious green font thing like the k's don't, in part, cancel out some of the harm from the walks, but they do. bring him back up.

 

haha, i guess you didn't catch the fake sarcasm

 

so now we're green fonting "fake" sarcasm? man, this place is side-splitting in its hilarity sometimes.

I believe that is called sarcastic sarcasm.

[Outshined_One]

Monterro's catcher's gear looks horrifying.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

50th percentile PECOTA projections:

 

Edgar Gonzalez 5.23 ERA, 10.1 H/9, 2.4 BB/9, 5.2 K/9

 

Sean Gallagher 5.17 ERA, 9.1 H/9, 4.1 BB/9, 5.8 K/9

 

Neither liked particularly well.

[genbar]

Call me a n00b, but why the green font? I see it all the time on Realgm and just don't understand the green font craze.

Looks like it could be a Zambrano line from 2-3 years ago.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So did they pick up 3 stoners from a local Starbucks and say hey guys, want to sing the National Anthem for the Cubs?

[witty alias]

It sure is nice to hear somebody sing The National Anthem and not be terrible. It seems everytime you see a musician sing it, it takes them 5 minutes and it sucks, but Reckless Kelly did a great job. Wayne Messmer always does a good job, too.

I don't see how anyone can expect him to be successful if he keeps walking this many guys. At the big league level more guys can hit breaking balls so I don't think that the K's are necessarilly reflective of what he would do here.

 

really? he finished 5th in the NL in k's in 2007.

 

interesting that the cubs aren't the only people who have apparently forgotten hill's '07.

Soriano out huh? probably just the weather.

Thi-....

 

Ah, I give up. Theriot is probably better than I thought, though still inferior. But I still give up.

[Outshined_One]

Report on Sean Gallagher:

 

Works in the low 90s, can hit the mid-90s when needed. Good curveball. Plus slider which isn't used much. Decent changeup.

Did that gun just show 97MPH?

[Outshined_One]

Nice catch Lee!

[inari]

I'm really hoping this is the first of quite a few starts this year for Gallagher.

*eh* I figure he's about the same as Lieber or Marquis, maybe a bit better than Marquis.
