5/28 Dodgers (Lowe) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 pm ESPN2/WGN

[inari]

Get Z a win.

[UMFan83]

Reed Johnson should never hit against righties, but CERTAINLY not against 98 MPH throwing righties, and CERTAINLY not with 6 outs left at your disposal.

[Mugged By Fluffy]

Dont expect much from Z in his next start

 

Nonsense. If Dusty was still managing the club Z would be good for at least 115 piches his next start.

:lol:

[weatherdood]

That was pathetic

[Soul]

That was fun. Not.

[erik316wttn]

2-1 isn't a terrible game thread record.

[JoshiQ]

I'm happy it's Hoff up there.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Is this the most pitches a Cubs pitcher has thrown since Lou took over?

 

Without looking it up, absolutely

 

Lilly threw 127 once last year

Z 128 last year

 

nothing above 120 this year until tonight

[erik316wttn]

Hoff K's.

 

We're cooked.

[Vanilla Ice]

poopy

[UMFan83]

I can't believe we might get shut out. We need to start hitting again. We're not walking, we're not hitting....ugh.

[JoshiQ]

I'm happy it's Hoff up there.

 

I was happy it Hoff up there. He looked lost.

[inari]

This could be a good matchup for Alfonso.

[Butterscup1679666578]

god. hit one 1000000 miles soriano

[Soul]

I want last night's Broxton back.

[Vanilla Ice]

For the most part Hoffpauir has looked pathetic at the plate. Edited May 29, 2008 by 17 Seconds

This Broxton guy is blowing these guys away. They cant catch up to him. Man thats some serious heat right there.

[CubColtPacer]

Dont expect much from Z in his next start

 

That's not necessarily true. Z has been effective when throwing close to as many pitches before.

 

For example, last June he had 3 consecutive starts.

 

8 innings, 0 runs, 128 pitches

Next start- 9 innings, 1 run, 123 pitches

start after that-8 innings, 1 run, 113 pitches

 

He also had a 3 start stretch in 2006 that was very similar to that, where he threw 126 pitches in consecutive outings and still had 3 straight effective outings.

 

Yes, he has had his ineffective outings after a long day as well.

 

I thought that was a bit much as well, albeit by only 6-8 pitches. I don't think it will be a problem for Z, but I hope they can get him out early the next start.

[UMFan83]

Owned.

[erik316wttn]

Soriano K's.

 

I hate this team.

[weatherdood]

Uggggggggly

[inari]

What the hell was that, Soriano?

[Vanilla Ice]

Im feeling a Sorianowned

[Butterscup1679666578]
