5/21 Cubs (Gallagher) @ Astros (Chacon) 7:05CT CSN

[AlwaysaCub]

That's negative grit points there.

[apete6]

surprise, surprise, a baserunning blunder by The Riot.

 

Very 2006 Cedeno-like baserunning from the Riot this year. Brutal.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

how dare he catch the ball?!!! get rid of edmonds, he caught the ball.

 

2 for 13 with a walk as a Cub

 

i still can't believe that he had the gall to catch the ball, he must really suck.

 

That's a .367 OPS in case you don't want to do the math

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yep, dead to rights. Why on earth did he argue?

i agree with you, he caught the ball so he sucks.

[Careless]

How can theriot argue that for a second?

[chuckywang]

Yep, dead to rights. Why on earth did he argue?

 

He's trying to get his grit points back.

[cubbyvirus00]

In general....Riot is crap.

as long as we're on the same page

The Astros announcers really like Gallagher's stuff.

Does arguing earn grit points? Can we get a ruling?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

There's the out pitch I've been looking for from Gallagher. Very nice slider.

[chuckywang]

SInce when did Floyd Landis play for the Astros?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yep, dead to rights. Why on earth did he argue?

If you are already gritty, yes. They multiply your current grit level, so if it is already negative (like when Alfonseca and Alou argued), it hurts. But it helps Theriot.

don't worry about that.

 

but in all seriousness, you get my point. i'm not talking about people who have the arguments that you do (despite him only having 14 plate appearances as a cub.)

[Outshined_One]

FukuRange!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Very nice inning from Gallagher. The breaking stuff looked sharp.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pretty good inning for Sean.

 

Now, let's add some more runs!

[erik316wttn]

I like that Kouske is hitting 2nd tonight. Hopefully he'll stay there and Soto will move up to 5th.

[Andy]

Good catch by Kosuke to end the inning.

[Outshined_One]

Very nice inning from Gallagher. The breaking stuff looked sharp.

 

He unleashed his other curveball this inning (the slow one). He needs to be careful with using it, since that's a pitch that will get hammered when in the strike zone.

Doubtful. Lou likes to break up those righties.

I don't know if it gets less gritty than Antonio Alfonseca

[killthegoat06]

Milwaukee up 3-1 on Pittsburgh

Losing a finger makes you gritty. Adding one is just pathetic.

 

Okay, I'm a little embarassed at myself for contributing to the "Any Alfonseca reference must have a finger joke" mentalityi...
