6/27 CUBS (Demp) @ White Sox (Contreras) - 3:05 CSN/WGN

[TruffleShuffle]

soto was getting rather lucky on balls in play in his first month; he's been pretty unlucky on balls in play during the last month. his walk rate is down a little but his K-rate hasn't really changed. so he's probably an .800-.850 OPS guy, not as good as he was the first month and not as bad as he has been over the past month.

[Careless]

the comcast radar just had contreras throwing a 101 mph breaking ball

[TysonCBulls423]

3-1 perfect time for a patented Lou hit and run.

[Butterscup1679666578]

i hope eric drives a run in here before Derrek can GIDP

[JoshiQ]

3-1 perfect time for a patented Lou hit and run.

 

Nice call.

[weis21]

C'mon E Patt, how about another 3 run bomb?

[JoshiQ]

Walk and then a GIDP.

[BigSlick]

I'm going to be honest

 

I still don't have very much confidence in Eric Patterson, despite the relatively hot start

 

he just doesn't seem to know what he's swinging at half the time

3-1 perfect time for a patented Lou hit and run.

 

Nice call.

 

Santo was calling for it on the radio as well

[jersey cubs fan]

i dont get why fontenot is playing so much lately.

 

12 AB in the past week for a 1000 OPS. He's not playing "so much" but he's done well.

[Careless]

gift of a strike

[TysonCBulls423]

Gift strike calls MAKE ME :banghead:

[Roast]

DP time?

[BigSlick]

wooo that strike 1 looked a little gifty from gameday

[weis21]

So help me D Lee.

 

Walk, or hit the ball in the air. Those are your only two options.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Here comes the inning ending GIDP.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Nice eye Patterson.

 

Come on Lee, hit a fly ball please.

[chuckywang]

I see the Sox strategy. Walk EPatt so Lee GIDP's.

[Flames24Rulz]

Don't mess this up.

[TruffleShuffle]

please for the love of God do not ground into a double play

[JoshiQ]

One time! One time is all I'm asking. Hit a ball in the air!

[abuck1220]

bases loaded...does this feel like 9/11 to anybody else????

[CubsNSkers07]

I predict a D LEE sac fly.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm going to be honest

 

I still don't have very much confidence in Eric Patterson, despite the relatively hot start

 

he just doesn't seem to know what he's swinging at half the time

 

If all of the minorleaguers who came to the majors and had red hot starts for us over the past few years kept it up...

[weis21]

Why swing at the first pitch? He just walked the last two!
