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

[Guest]

Len's HR call is just fine.

 

I'm pretty thankful he's not a reactionary idiot, to be honest

 

And have it be a shallow fly to left.

 

"Belted deep towards left..."

 

And caught by the shortstop.

 

...

[Outshined_One]

Z leaving early?

 

Wha?

[imb]

Interesting... will be nice if shark doesnt s the b

[BigSlick]

Please god let there not be an injury to Z

 

He looked happy and smiling in the dugout so i doubt it

[BCVM22]

I really hope this just is one of Lou's "shortening him up after two long outings" decisions.

[Mizzou]

Uh oh.

[inari]

Uh, one more inning would've been nice.

:?

 

I have no idea what is going on. I am pessimitically concerned given taking him and how he didn't look right all day.

[Careless]

I'll say minor cramping

[Soul]

And all of Milwaukee perks up, hoping....

[imb]

guys, they started warming up shark in the bottom of the 5th, i think this was the plan all along.

 

z's had two long outings in a row

[CuseCubFan69]

Sharks keepin it low.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I would agree with that, except it was strange with Zambrano throwing his warmup pitches and Lou talking to the umpire before going out to the mound.

[Soul]

shift pays off on that one.

[UK1679666180]

I'm hoping they yanked b/c of how he has been used lately.

[CuseCubFan69]

Lou getting the big picture regarding the starting Pitchers...I'm diggin it.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

If we were on ESPN, that fly ball would have prompted Bartman footage.

[Soul]

.....and the obligatory Bartman reference from Pirate announcers.

 

 

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN FAR ENOUGH FOR A BARTMAN TO MATTER YOU DOLTS.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I find it hard to believe that they just decided to randomly pull him with the heart of the Pirates lineup comin up. However judging by the way he exited, I doubt it was anything more than cramping.

Gave Samardzija more warmup pitches.

[rocket]

i love that lou is willing to take z out after 80 pitches after 2 big pitch counts. something dusty would never ever do.

[BCVM22]

Nice inning by Shark. Just need 3 more of those.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pretty good inning from Shark.

 

Let's add some runs!

yeah, lou could have gotten to the mound faster if he had walked on his hands, he was obviously stalling

[Guest]

That was nice and quick. One more of those, Samardzija.
