6/28 Cubs (Gallagher) @ WhiteSox (Vasquez) 2:55 CT Fox

[Fred Hornkohl]

Thome walked

[TMan92]

Can we please get Gallagher out of this game Lou.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 18-9 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 32-21 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Havnt seen a double play yet today.

I thought coming up thath Maddux was compared to Maddux with his control? He has been terrible control wise at the big league level.

[Roast]

DAMNIT FUKUDOME!

 

Why did Lou not pinch hit for Fontenot when they brought the lefty Logan in?

Mind explaining to me what kosuke did wrong there?

 

Was it the horrible strike that he took for the first pitch or was it the pitch at his eyes he didn't actually swing at?

 

Dude we get it the ump is inconsistent. He still swung at an awful pitch on 0-1 and he went on the last pitch.

The second pitch wasn't a whole lot worse than the first, so one could assume he was swinging because if he didnt it would be called strike 2 anyway. Furthermore, I dont think he swung at that last strike.

 

Even WITH that bad swing, however, he STILL should have walked. You can make a bad swing in an at bat and get away with it, he should have.

:-s

[CubsGM]

Strikes!

[UMFan83]

Gallagher looks like Vazquez now, goes up 0-2 and nibbles.

 

 

Time to take him out.

[CubsGM]

Awesome

[Little Slide Rooter]

You really suck Gallagher.

:-s

I swear I read that. It may have been a bad report, but I know I read it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Crede blooped a single to shallow right field , Thome to second

[BigSlick]

Nobody really knows about Crede because he's not very good and his career OBP is just a tad over .300

[Schwarber Fan]

bad feeling returning

What are you talking about? The second pitch ended up in the dirt and further away. Why don't you think he swung at the last one? He didn't argue, the home plate ump called it. He went.

[TMan92]

Nibbling. So annoying. Lou......Nobody warming up....ridiculous.

[UMFan83]

How do you not have someone loose already?

[CubsGM]

TAKE.HIM.OUT.

[BigSlick]

you wanna give me one call blue? just one?

[TruffleShuffle]

i love it, nibble until you have to throw a strike. why can't guys throw tough but hittable pitches on 0-2 and 1-2? throwing the 2 garbage balls that 95% of the league will never swing at is one of my biggest pet peeves in baseball.

I assume you meant Gallagher compared to Maddux? Not Maddux compared to Maddux? ;)

[rawaction]

He was 0-2. Hopefully, Sean can get Swisher again.

[tfarks]

And thats not a strike F U ump. In the ear.

What was he going to do? Stand there and swear at him in japanese?

 

EDIT: NOw that I think about it, i'd like to see that. If we get too far down today, why not. I could use some comedy.
