7/27 Cubs... you're breakin' my heart. 1:20 / CSN

[Little Slide Rooter]

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

 

Yeah, Shark looked nice out there, but with Ramirez-Hermida-Cantu coming up next, I dont think he'll chance it. Maybe if we can get a few more runs.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

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.

 

Probably as well. As far as this year, I full expect Liebs to get DFA. Nice career, Jon, if that happens to be the case.

[Careless]

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

not friday's

It was one bad pitch that wasn't all that bad that stopped him from getting through the 1-2-3 on Friday. It's not like they lit him up.

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.

 

It depends on what happens with Demoster, as well as Hill and Marshall. Zambranos a definite. Harden has an option, Im not sure if its player or team, and Lilly has 2 years left and Marquis 1.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 53-4 when they lead at the end of 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 25-7 when they hit at least 2 home runs.... 35-36 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

It was one bad pitch that wasn't all that bad that stopped him from getting through the 1-2-3 on Friday. It's not like they lit him up.

 

But this Marlins order is tough: Ramirez-Hermida-Cantu, and then theres Willingham-Jacobs-Uggla. No easy task.

Harden is under our control regardless I believe.

H Ramirez struck out swinging

[sweetpeteman]

Nasty.

[Jon]

And there's the much talked about splitter for the K. I like.

[abuck1220]

oh boy, trade samardzija RIGHT NOW.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hermida struck out swinging

[BCVM22]

sick

[Butterscup1679666578]

This kid is a stud.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

If he can use that pitch consistently, wow!
