6/7 Cubs (Z!) at Dodgers (Lowe), 2:55 pm, FOX, WGN 720

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-9 when the opponent steals a base.... 29-14 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Soto double clutched.

 

The Dodgers batter was leaning across the plate, but instead of throwing into him and getting the interference, Soto just double-clutches.

 

Little things...

 

Doesn't matter... Cousins wouldn't have called it anyway

[Hairyducked Idiot]

LOL @ people mentioning a no hitter in the bottom of the 4th inning

Ballgame.

 

Cubs have no hits in their last 8 innings.

[TysonCBulls423]

the team has won 10 of 12...NSBB makes it feel like they've lost 10 of 12.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kemp struck out swinging

[CubbieBum]

Maybe the humiliation of being no hit by a pitcher whose struggled against everyone but them this season it what this team needs to get fired up.

 

Remember last season when The Brewers bats were cold as ice last year, and got no hit by Verlander, and then started another hot streak the next game?

 

I think the team has been playing fine. Have we been so spoiled this season that a little two or three game lull will make people start to question the team's fire?

I think I called the no-hitter in the 2nd inning, thank you.

Lou needs to flip out.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I hate, hate, hate free baserunners early in games.

 

Piniella just said he has no faith in the Cubs' offense.

The Cubs will get a hit next inning

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeWitt walked (intentionally)

Tomorrow was my pick for Lou's first ejection

[rawaction]

Ha. Intentional walk in the 4th inning of a scoreless game?

[erik316wttn]

I hate, hate, hate free baserunners early in games.

 

Piniella just said he has no faith in the Cubs' offense.

 

Today, neither do I. We've reverted back to Dustyball... swing at everything, and watch the entire offense completely shut down.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I could have almost guaranteed CLHs first major league home run there.

Whats your picks for Euro 08 , Cubbiebum?

[CubColtPacer]

If you're a manager closely looking at Z's pitch count today, do you sort of discount the 4 from the intentional walk?

I would. That's playing catch, pretty much.

and you would have been wrong.

[rawaction]

Probably. About as much effort as a routine pickoff throw to 1B.

The Cubs are hardly swinging at everything, which is the reason Lowe is falling behind a good percentage of the hitters. They just haven't gotten good swings when they have had a pitch to hit, and they probably are swinging at too many pitcher's strikes when they're up 1-0 and 2-0 in the count.
