7/25 - Fish (Johnson) @ Cubs (Demps), 1:20 CT, WGN

How was that inning?

I got it at .000 .000 .000

[TMan92]

That was a nice inning by Jeff.

[Flames24Rulz]

Let's get Shark the win and call it a day.

[C.C.]

The apology brigade is out in force, I see.

 

Samardzija got a very borderline call on a 3-2 pitch for his first out, then gave up a solid gb single, then couldn't execute a pitchout, then gave up a deep line drive that was fortunately in the deepest part of the park, then gave up a solid double, then induced a popup.

 

ERA of 9, WHIP of 2.00, hitters hit 400/400/600 off of him.

 

There's no way you can slice this into a good outing. It was a bad outing.

 

 

How's his outing now? C'mon eat the crow.

[ctcf]

9 pitches for 3 outs with only one pitch for a ball.

 

NICE

[UMFan83]

1-2-3 inning, but only 1 strike out.

 

What a loser. Send Shark back down, immediately!

 

SHAM PROSPECT

[bcl412]

I predict the Cubs don't score this inning.

[big_shooter17]

I personally thought that his stuff looked more devastating in the first inning overall, but nothing to complain about there. Very nice inning. His ERA is now lower than Howry's.

[WTFCUBS]

9 pitches for 3 outs with only one pitch for a ball.

 

NICE

 

 

Nope, sample size to small.

How's his outing now? C'mon eat the crow.

 

He recovered well, but the fact is that he had a one run lead when he came in and the game is tied now. This is a really dumb conversation on both sides.

[Guest]

How was his stuff? What was he throwing? I noticed references to the FB and slider in the thread...no split?

[rawaction]

Wow. Game threads are stupid.

What crow? That I didn't realize his outing wasn't over? I guess that's fine. I eat crow that I didn't know the inning wasn't going to be his entire outing.

 

It was still a bad inning.

[CubsBears29]

If we get at least 1 run here, send Shark back out?? At least to start the b8?

 

 

EDIT: I'm a soapdropping [expletive]. NM. Who closes? Heartattack special.. err, I mean Marmol??

Nice work Shark!

 

Time to put up a crooked number and hopefully Lou will let Wuertz close it out. No appearances in the past 15 days and just two in July?? I know he got smoked by Cincy but wow.

[weis21]

Wow. Game threads are stupid.

I know..but they're addictive! :oops:

Looked strictly FB slider. Threw mostly his fast ball but both seemed to move really well.

Can we try to stop with telling posters to "eat crow" and calling a block of posters "apology brickade", etc.? It makes game threads completely unreadable.

Or the fact that we only scored 2 runs today.

[TMan92]

Ronny! Let's get him home.

I think we should let Ohman pitch.

Wuertz was sent down last week.

[UMFan83]

Edmonds healthy enough to PH?

 

I know Reed is 2-2 with a walk against righties today, but Edmonds is much better vs. righties
