6/10 Braves (Glavine) @ Cubs (Lilly) 7:05 WGN & WGN Radio

[Ski]

If Lilly could work on his HR problems he'd be a great pitcher.

 

he's a fly ball pitcher, home runs are going to happen... curt schilling is another example of a guy who always gave up a lot of home runs, but he did a good job of preventing baserunners by keeping his walk rate low. that's the key for lilly, IMO.

Ah. That makes sense then.

[Jon]

Derrek is looking so much better today.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Is Lilly really at 79 pitches through six?

[inari]

Is Lilly really at 79 pitches through six?

 

That'd be pretty absurd considering how lengthy his first inning was.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol, MLB.tv is still running the 600 home run commercial where griffey says "keep watching"

[BigSlick]

Not preposterous to see Lilly go 8 if he cruises in this inning

[Sammy Sofa]

Derrek is looking so much better today.

 

Sounds like he had a couple of hard hit shots that were unfortunately caught besides the homer. Is this the case?

[TruffleShuffle]

wow reed johnson is a great defensive CF!

That would be the case

[Ski]

Uh oh. Looks like Lilly is starting to fall behind.

Yes, 3 line outs and a homer.

[BigSlick]

hit the zone lilly, no reason not to finish this inning and maybe another one

[CubmanPi]

I never knew that thing was called a squatchie. Thanks BB.

Yes, 3 line outs and a homer.

 

Good to hear. Keep hitting 'em like and that and some are bound to punch through.

[Butterscup1679666578]

come on lilly, throw strikes.

[inari]

Ick. This two run lead seems much bigger than it really is when no one is on base. Now that someone is, it's fairly nerveracking.

 

Chipper's playing? Seriously? I thought he was hurt?

[Ski]

This feels like the 1st inning all over again.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

squatchy.....word of the day

He can PH.

 

 

COME ON LILLY

[BigSlick]

Pull him

 

I don't know why but he lost it

[TMan92]

And here comes the Cubs making it interesting.

[TruffleShuffle]

ok these hitters are lousy, stop falling behind

[SouthSideRyan]

Theriot is not great on the turn

[Butterscup1679666578]

walk chipper
