Baker flied out to left field

[BigSlick]

The fact that Jeff is getting a head of hitters is awesome, and I'm glad he doesn't nibble like some of our guys

[Little Slide Rooter]

Is it me, or does Samrdzjia look like a less deformed Derrick Turnbow?

You know, oddly enough, I see it...

[Butterscup1679666578]

Boy, if Samardzija could stay up here and pitch like this, that'd be huge for us. I'd love if he could take over Howry's role.

[BCVM22]

A fine inning. I say send him out for the 9th.

[Rob]

Samardzija should always beat the runner to the bag.

[BigSlick]

Nice job Samardzija

[Little Slide Rooter]

Samardzia is to Howry what Blu ray is to DVD.

[Brian]

I'd leave him in

[Jon]

What are the odds that Piniella lets Samardzija pitch the 9th?

[cubs121]

CUBS are 51-2 when they lead at the end of 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

That's one stat i like reading.

[illiniguy]

What was Chip saying abut Wood?

[BCVM22]

What are the odds that Piniella lets Samardzija pitch the 9th?

 

Very good, I hope.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Samardzija will not see the minors again this year. He's here to stay.

[CyHawk_Cub]

What are the odds that Piniella lets Samardzija pitch the 9th?

 

Dunno, but I hope he does...strangely, I trust Shark more than Marmol

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lindstrom in to pitch for Florida

[cubs121]

What are the odds that Piniella lets Samardzija pitch the 9th?

I doubt it. But, i'd like to see that.

[Guest]

With how much work Marmol has had recently, I'd send Samardzija out to start the 9th at least.

[Rob]

Samardzija will not see the minors again this year. He's here to stay.

 

Probably.

 

I just hope they let him start next season in the rotation.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Are they trying to kill Lindstrom? He's pitched in all 4 games, right?

[Jon]

What are the odds that Piniella lets Samardzija pitch the 9th?

 

Very good, I hope.

It would definitely be a break in pattern for Piniella.

 

 

I wish I had Soto's helmet hair all the time.
