Hopefully the Pirates have a mildly patient inning and get CC over 100 pitches through 6. He has 85 through 5.

 

How many pitches can they conceivably let him throw? 130?

 

It's amazing Yost sees no problem with usage.

 

He knows that they're not going to have him next year. Mine as well get your money's worth.

 

That's fine and all, but doesn't he realize what the high PC did to CC's playoff performance last year?

 

If Yost doesn't get MIL to the playoffs this year, he probably gets canned.

 

I think he's more concerned with just making it. Cross the playoff bridge when you get there.

Tampa bay and the White Sox tied 4-4 in the 7th. Id love to see Tampa sweep them

Atlanta        3  6th
St. Louis      5

[Keener98]

Tampa bay and the White Sox tied 4-4 in the 7th. Id love to see Tampa sweep them

 

 

And TB takes the lead 5-4

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 66-4 when they lead at the end of 6 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Edmonds 4 for his last 30

 

.138 .324 .483 .807

 

His 4 hits were 3 HRs and a 2B

Hey, I agree.

 

But it's Ned Yost. Many of his decisions have been downright Dusty-esque.

 

He's the single biggest reason that I don't fear the Brewers. I hope he's there for a long time.

Running up his PC, late in games, with large leads doesn't make it anymore likely that they get there.

Zimmerman struck out swinging

[RedFlash]

DeRosa struck out swinging

 

Hosed.

 

Agreed. It still amazes me how catchers and home plate umps still deferred to umpires that are ver 90 ft away (1st and 3rd) to say if a batter went or not. If the home plate ump can't tell if a batter went, then I guarantee you, the first base ump (in this case) can't tell. The first base ump took a guess, cause DeRo did not swing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 96-59 in the 7th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gingerballs Lives]

Edmonds 4 for his last 30

 

.138 .324 .483 .807

 

His 4 hits were 3 HRs and a 2B

 

Even with the garbage BA he's managed to contribute.

 

Truly found money.

Harden is dealing again today.

 

I don't like it when his pitch count gets north of 100, however.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Milledge struck out swinging

[Outshined_One]

Harden is awesome. 8-)

[Brian]

Harden is good.

[Allroy]

Harden strikes out 10 again. Unreal. What a stud.

[Hall7810]

Harden is dealing again today.

 

I don't like it when his pitch count gets north of 100, however.

 

I'm sure Lou will really "shorten him up" his next start.

[sweetpeteman]

Harden is dealing again today.

 

I don't like it when his pitch count gets north of 100, however.

 

 

I'm okay with him doing it every now and then. Once he starts to throw more, then getting to and going a little over 100 is fine. That, and he hasn't been exactly struggling out there today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 47-18 when their starter throws more pitches than the opponent.... 29-31 when they throw fewer pitches than the opponent.... 3-1 when the pitch counts are even.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

"it's amazing" - Ron Santo

 

I think that sums it up.

[Outshined_One]

95 on the fastball! :shock:
