8/3 Bucs(Snell) @ Cubs(Z!) - 1:20 WGN TV

[kujay]

Nice walk Riot.

 

We're going to make four outs in this inning.

[Soul]

Hey Lee, try taking the ball the other way for a change. You are pretty much at 100% ground balls when you pull, pal.

[inari]

If Soto continues to hit the ball where it's pitched, he's going to be a heck of a hitter.

 

Lots of people (me included) are guilty of constantly forgetting he's a rookie. The struggles he's sometimes experienced have been frustrated, but the amount of success he's had as a rookie catcher is astonishing. ROTY, All Star Game starter, and probably an OPS around .840, .850.

Can you imagine Aaron Harang with rabies?

:yahoo:

 

Outstanding work.

[Outshined_One]

Took it right down the freaking middle.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

88 pitches for Snell.

[imb]

Took it right down the freaking middle.

 

that was pretty much the definition of right on the black

 

not that he shouldn't have swung at it, but it wasn't down the middle

[Soul]

Lee is starting to piss me off. He's been terrible this month, and he's trending *downward*

 

Something must be done.

[Outshined_One]

Bases loaded for Teixeira in NY.

[kujay]

Ohman just popped up Prince.

 

4-0 ATL going to bottom of 8th.

 

Right now, I think losing 2/3 at Atlanta is worse than losing 2/3 at home vs. Pitt.

[Outshined_One]

Edmonds needs to stop it with those basket catches.

[Soul]

Bases loaded for Teixeira in NY.

 

SLAM.

 

The Angels are good.

[BCVM22]

Z is getting absolutely no favors from Brian Knight today.

I was just going to post that. Nothing on the outside corner to right handers.

[Outshined_One]

Bases loaded for Teixeira in NY.

 

SLAM.

 

The Angels are good.

 

And there are the Bronx cheers.

[BigSlick]

This ump is mindboggling, there are have been 3 pitches this inning that should have been called strikes

 

although it doesn't faze Z at all

[Magnetic Curses]

z is getting action on his pitches today.

[kujay]

Nice inning for Z. I'd be fine with just sending him out for the 6th and then turning it over to the pen.

[inari]

Ohman just popped up Prince.

Right now, I think losing 2/3 at Atlanta is worse than losing 2/3 at home vs. Pitt.

 

Omar Infante recently batted cleanup for the Braves.

zambrano doesnt have it today boys

 

looks like we're losing 2 out of 3 to pittsburgh

 

zambrano putting up a stinker after that outing in milwaukee

 

why do these guys always kill us

[UK1679666180]

Z's arm action appears to be lower than before, it also seems that he is getting alot of flyballs.

[Outshined_One]

82 for Z through 5.

 

I think he might be able to go two more innings.

I am going to say I'm a little afraid of the Astros, they've seemed to have our number and Chad Moehler who is truly awful is unhittable against us
