8/29 Phillies (Blanton) @ Cubs (Harden) - 1:20 CSN Chicago

[El Ridda]

that should have been fontenot ph-ing.

 

 

Or hoffpauir

[bukie]

Just got back, did DLee get hurt, or was Ward PHing for Harden?

 

Harden PH.

[UMFan83]

Our bullpen is going to be pretty gassed pretty soon.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Here comes the always painful 6th inning. Come on Chad.

Or hoffpauir

 

Or bonds

[bukie]

I don't want to say Ward sucks, as he's clearly pigeonholed into a tough role as a full-time PH, but he's clearly the worst hitter on the team.

Fortunately, September callups are in 3 days.

[UMFan83]

I just noticed that Jayson Werth has better numbers across the board than Derrek Lee

Heh, so it was an error that can't be called an error since an out was recorded? I was wondering what kind of grounder Ward would have to hit to not be doubled up with Blanco on first.

 

Not an error because you can't assume the DP. The run scored from third but the ball didn't get away far enough to allow Ward to advance a base (if it had gotten away an error would have been recorded).

Can't make excuses that he's a full time PH because thats what he was signed to do. He's fat, slow, and can't play defense. All he has is his hitting and he's poor at that this year.

The ball would have to end up in Evanston for Ward to advance a base.

[Sorianos hop]

F werth

[UMFan83]

F werth

 

Didn't he strike out?

[Derwood]

I hope the Cubs sign Bonds on Sunday so he qualifies for the playoff roster

Have you ever been to Evanston?

 

It's not that far from Wrigley.

Maybe to Old Orchard.

i love DPs

[bukie]

Neither team's really had a solid hit, aside from possibly the Howard hit the previous inning.

[Derwood]

well that works

ronny cedeno begs to differ.

[PrimeTime]

DP!! Lets tie this damn thing up or take the lead

[Vinestal]

Its a good thing our offense is so consistent otherwise we'd be losing this game.... Oh wait we are losing this game, hey at least we got a gift run last inning, maybe we'll get to the bulpen again today.

[Little Slide Rooter]

i love DPs

 

As much as scoring runs against bad pitchers?

top offense in baseball, and people are still bitching.

Huh, how in the world does Ward have a .250 EqA? I suppose the slugging would be a bit higher with about half as many PAs.
