5/31 Rockies (Rusch) @ Cubs (Dempster) 12:05 CSN & WGN Radio

Iannetta struck out swinging

[BleacherBadger]

Wow...that's the black right there.

 

Still got him.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Thanks for having nothing today Ryan.

 

He's wild, but he's not super-hittable at this point, HR notwithstanding.

Yeah, but when he does get hit it will hurt cause he will have guys on through his walks.

 

Agreed. This has the potential to be a really ugly outing. But it's salvageable too.

[XZero771679666304]

Dempster *just* missed. That's a 50/50 call.

 

 

Gamecast showed that as nearly down the middle.

[illiniguy]

Let's get this career minor leaguer out, just to prove we can.

[XZero771679666304]

All right, let's not walk mr. .233/.280 again.

[BleacherBadger]

Len dropping "Bob Ross" there.

 

Hah.

Then gamecast is wrong. It was right, right, right off the corner. The edge of the ball might have clipped it, and you see just off the corner called a lot.

[illiniguy]

All right, let's not walk mr. .233/.280 again.

Christ he is that bad after doubles yesterday?

[CubsGM]

Strikes

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The Rockies' strategy of just not swinging at anything finally fails to pay off. Big pitch.

[haubrich91]

Great job, Demp!

[CubsGM]

Strikes

[genbar]

Nice jarb, Demp.

[BleacherBadger]

That's why he's a career minor leaguer. No way to watch that. Anyways, good to get out of the inning. Anyone have a pitch count?

Nevermind, thanks Fred.

Yahoo has him at 68.

[bcruise]

Where did gameday have that called strike three?

[rawaction]

68 pitches thru 3 for Dempster. 4 walks and a HBP. He really needs to turn it up and get thru 6. Cubs need to keep scoring to give Dempster some more wiggle room.

Yahoo has him at 68.

 

Yeah, he needs to start finding the zone so he can save the pen at least a bit.

The pen isn't too bad. Lieber really was great yesterday.

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee called out on strikes

[CubsGM]

Ugh swing the bat moron

[VanceJergins]

Len dropping "Bob Ross" there.

 

Hah.

 

Fun fact: Bob Ross filmed his show in the same studio that I use on my college show. His ghost haunts the halls.
