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

by the way, the home run came on a breaking ball on the outer half of the plate - you know, the pitch that geo can't hit.

 

we get it

 

something tells me that the next game geo goes 0-for-4 will be a demonstration that people don't get it.

Ball 1 here was far closer to a strike than at least 7 right side of the plate strikes this game. 3"+. Ball 2 the same

No, no! He just got a hit off of it! The past few weeks of sucking have just been a mirage!

 

I hope that this is a turning point and his prolonged slump is done, but it's not like one awesome AB instantly negates how bad he's looked for a few weeks now.

 

I would just like to see him stop his antagonistic crusade.

Get what?

 

It'll be fantastic if he's "figured that pitch out." 1 great AB isn't proof of that.

[17 Seconds]

Walking guys with a 5 run lead in the 9th is neat

[TysonCBulls423]

Don't get Wood up. Get Hart or Wuertz up.

[UMFan83]

Seriously can our freaking bullpen ever give Kerry and Carlos a rest? EVER?

[splintersag]

Wood's warming up, again.

[Butterscup1679666578]

come on Lieber, throw strikes.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Sorry Woody, I guess we just underestimated the crappness of most of our pen.

[inari]

Woody's up and getting loose.

[BCVM22]

Yes sah!

[UMFan83]

Geez. Cubs win!

[Careless]

:good:

[Outshined_One]

Good way to finish the game!

[Butterscup1679666578]

nice!

 

give aramis a gold glove.

[inari]

Great win! Aramis, D-Lee, Soto, and Lilly were all huge contributors today.

[TysonCBulls423]

CUBS WIN!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cubs Win!

 

Home winning streak intact.

[splintersag]

Sham long reliever.

[Derwood]

Great win, terrible song

he's got just over 300 PAs against major league pitching. pitchers needed some time to adjust to soto and learn what he does well - drive fastballs on the inner half of the plate - and now soto is learning to adjust to what big league pitchers are doing to get him out - throwing him breaking balls and trying to force him to go the other way. most guys are not albert pujols; they don't come up with no holes in their game. for most guys, it's a learning process where they fill the holes in their game over time.

 

good job cubs.

[Sammy Sofa]

Shweet DP!

 

Playing at Wrigley is awesome.

[UMFan83]

BTW, is Carlos the only one that hasn't been doing blue tops? If so, you gotta think they went back to the blues at Z's request.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Nice! Now lets keep doing it.
