7/26 Cubs (Harden) vs. Marlins (Volstad) 12:05 cm CT WGN

Eyre's warming up to blow it.

[Garwilly]

None of this happens if DeRosa runs through the bag instead of sliding.

 

 

Because you say so?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Unleash Castillo on him

 

hahaha

 

Yeah, Drake's definitely the guy who threw out Lou at the Cell.

[UMFan83]

THIS OFFENSE SUCKS

[BCVM22]

Eyre's warming up to blow it.

 

That's the specialist role he plays in our bullpen.

[weis21]

This is so dumb

[Sammy Sofa]

Screw this stupid game.

[Andy]

Hermida is absolutely going to homer off Eyre.

[Jon]

None of this happens if DeRosa runs through the bag instead of sliding.

Namely because he would have been safe if he ran through the bag instead of getting his arms jammed in the dirt and being out by sliding in head first.

[javy knows my name]

So where is this awful defense from Hanley I keep hearing about? His arm's not great, but his range looks above average.

[weis21]

Hermida is absolutely going to homer off Eyre.

So help me God if this happens.... :x

Because you say so?

He's right.

[Careless]

None of this happens if DeRosa runs through the bag instead of sliding.

 

 

Because you say so?

Skidding on the ground losing speed is not the fastest way to first

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just plant one between Hermidas eyes. I could care less what happens from there on out.

[Guest]

Didn't his hands stop in the dirt right before the bag?

 

ETA: And the obvious, running at full speed is faster than sliding through dirt.

I think he has always had the talent to make great plays, it's just that he sometimes screws up the easy ones.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

but...but...what about Duecebaseman's study that said sliding was faster.....

[UMFan83]

If Hermida hits a HR to lead off the inning, the Cubs should just treat it like a walkoff and just leave the field to end the game. Edited July 26, 2008 by UMFan83

[TMan92]

On what pitch does Hermida homer?

[big_shooter17]

The correct call was made, but I don't know why Sinatro was tossed so quickly. I am watching without volume and I know that he slammed his helmet, but this happens quite frequently with baserunners going down the line and being thrown out and they don't get tossed.

[BCVM22]

On what pitch does Hermida homer?

 

The 0-2, obviously.

[Mizzou]

Marmol still in? This is too predictable.

[Outshined_One]

Let's see what Marmol has left in the tank.
