What an awesome #3 hitter

[TruffleShuffle]

well at least he didn't GIDP

[haubrich91]

I don't like this first pitch swinging crap.

[TruffleShuffle]

I don't like this first pitch swinging crap.

 

cubs on the year are hitting .370/.374/.553/.927 when they put the first pitch of the AB into play (or are HBP).

 

but yeah, you don't want everyone hacking at the first pitch like they did that inning.

[UMFan83]

4 batters, 4 pitchers, 1 single, 3 outs. What an inning.

[Outshined_One]

4 batters, 4 pitchers, 1 single, 3 outs. What an inning.

 

Is the team having a collective flashback to the Dusty Baker era?

[UMFan83]

In today's lineup, which 3 players are you most excited when it says "Due Up..."

 

-Soriano, Theriot, Lee

-Theriot, Lee, Ramirez

-Lee, Ramirez, Edmonds

-Ramirez, Edmonds, DeRosa

-Edmonds, DeRosa, Fukudome

-DeRosa, Fukudome, Blanco

-Fukudome, Blanco, Zambrano

-Blanco, Zambrano, Soriano

-Zambrano, Soriano, Theriot

[Outshined_One]

Get the bullpen up.

[UMFan83]

Corey Patterson just saw more pitches in that AB than the Cubs saw last inning. That's scary!

[PrimeTime]

Just bring in Shark now..Get Z out of there

[Outshined_One]

Nice throw, Blanco.

[bcl412]

It feels like the Cubs have slept walked through this series. Still might when it though and they haven't played close to their best baseball.

[TruffleShuffle]

z struggling with control... great managing on the steal attempt there. or corey is an idiot and ran on his own.

[C.C.]

Take him out!!!

[PrimeTime]

Nice..Now its Marmol and Woody time

[Outshined_One]

Z didn't pitch very well in those 7 innings, but I'll take the results.

[UMFan83]

2 more innings left in the series and so far the teams have scored a combined total of 12 runs.

Kouske swings at the crap pitches then took the ones down the middle

[UMFan83]

Kosuke-o-meter: .264

[Outshined_One]

Don't you dare bring Z out for the 8th, Lou.

[TruffleShuffle]

boy if fukudome is really a .750 OPS player, that's really going to be a horrendous contract.

[UMFan83]

I'm starting to get behind the bench Fukudome bandwagon. It's getting to the point where I don't know if his defense makes up for his offensive short comings. He is hitting .202 with a .279 OBP since July 1st

I'm glad Z is out of the game. A better hitting team would have lit him up today but, as it was, he survived 7ip only surrendering one run.
