8/10 Cardinals (Carpenter) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05pm ESPN

[BCVM22]

Crap.

[Fred Hornkohl]

4 pitches, 2 outs.

 

5 bucks says Carp's out of this by the 6th pitch.

 

I don't understand the aggressiveness against a pitcher who is 2 starts removed (before tonight) from getting off the DL. IDK who's gameplan this was, but it is stupid. The Cubs need to make Carpenter throw atleast 4 pitches per batter, not 2.

This offense seems to be much more of a feast or famine type than they were in the first half. Much more reminiscent of 07 than of this season's unbeatables.

 

Check P/PA second half vs. first half.

[CubmanPi]

I was hoping for GIDP, but if Demp insists on a K, I'll forgive him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kennedy struck out swinging , Molina to second on a wild pitch

[haubrich91]

Carpenter is up. Please, let's get out of this.

[BCVM22]

I'm calling the Carpenter 2-run double here.

[17 Seconds]

Here comes the bloop 2 run single from Carp.

[Soul]

Ugh why do I feel like Carp is going to get one of those cheap hits here.

[BCVM22]

Ugh why do I feel like Carp is going to get one of those cheap hits here.

 

Because it's inevitable.

Okay, NOW i like Jimmy Ballgame flashing the leather. No hot-dogging highlight reel there.

[Careless]

I hope there's a Cardinal's fan wearing an Edmonds jersey with a tear running down their cheek.

What are they?

[CubmanPi]

Two more runs this inning.

 

Unfortunately, Carp still only throws 19.
