Storm is approaching. DirecTV just went out here.

Bad graphic on Don Drysdale. They had him as 58 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings pitched, but the consecutive scoreless innings pitched record is kept as whole innings.

Where are you today?

Was Tommy Lasorda just talking about professional wrestling?

[otis89]

That foul ball startled some birds.

[OleMissCub]

Drysdale = Milt Pappas

 

...except on a good team.

Beautiful Algonquin, IL !!

[17 Seconds]

It seems like Soto is guessing a lot. He's taking a lot of fastballs right down the middle.

I saw Orel Hershiser on a heads up Celebrities vs. Pros poker tourney last night when I was flipping through. It was weird.

His plate patience and selectivity have slumped pretty bad lately. He needs a break to get his head screwed back on straight.

Hershiser owns the record at 59, he broke Drysdale's record of 58 2/3

[BigSlick]

Lets not talk about Fukudome's good at bat or anything, or the close game or anything related to the game actually

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto popped out to first base

[Outshined_One]

Good call on the hit and run, Lou.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Geovany Soto?

[otis89]

GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! More SportsCenter crap!!!!! Die, ESPN!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Man our offense sucks. Hopefully, the Dodgers can stay suckier for a few more innings.

[BigSlick]

oh whatever we had some good at bats in there, and edmonds had some hard contact

[CubColtPacer]

That was certainly a little bit of a strange inning. 26 pitches for 4 batters. 1 batter hits the hardest ball of the inning on the 1st pitch of the at-bat, and it turns into an out. The other 3 have 25 pitches in between them, but manage one baserunner out of it.

It seems like Soto is guessing a lot. He's taking a lot of fastballs right down the middle.

 

I was thinking the same thing. He took an 0-1 fastball middle-in, belt high that he was hammering earlier in the year.
