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

This thread is going to be unsufferable if the Cubs lose this game by a 2-0 or some such score.

 

going to be? it's pretty much there.

We are the best offense because we score a ton of runs in blow outs. Im sure I can dig up plenty of games where we were shut down by mediocre to bad pitching. Im not saying we gotta win every game, Im in a craptastic mood and having a bad day, and I hate nail bitters and games where it seems like our offense is asleep for most of the game.

You can be "inconsistent" while being "relatively consistent" at the same time.

 

His definition of consistency obviously differs from yours.

[PrimeTime]

No command and velocity today.

His definitely of consistency is completely unrealistic and unachievable by any baseball team.

I agree with you.

[David]

I feel bad for the people who cannot enjoy this year. It isn't going to get any better than this. You can't win every game.

 

 

Wow, both you and UMFan leaving the dark side?

 

Jeez, I'm in shock.

[abuck1220]

seriously, if illiniguy thinks you are acting ridiculous during a loss, you better do some serious self-evaluation.

[David]

FWIW, Blanco caught Harden's other wild start vs. Atlanta.

 

I'm not big on the catcher ERA or the whole giving catchers a ton of credit for a pitcher's performance idea, but is it possible that Geo has a better feel for calling a Harden game?

 

Could also easily be a coincidence.

[chuckywang]

Screw you Werth.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Quick update please. MLB Scoreboard sucks.

If it were 20 starts, you might have something there.

 

But 2 starts? Eh, mark it down as coincidence.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why screw Werth? What Happened?

[chuckywang]

Why screw Werth? What Happened?

 

Took out DeRosa on a slide to 2nd.

[Cubbies622]

broke up double play but the inning is over now

[Little Slide Rooter]

If Hardens awful, wild starts always result in 1 run vs. one of the better offenses in the game through 4, more power to him.

[Sorianos hop]

Lets go Ryan....

[PrimeTime]

wow that was low

[Choonch]

What's Harden's PC?

[Outshined_One]

What's Harden's PC?

 

82 pitches. I'll be shocked if he goes past 5.

[Rob]

This zone is terribly inconsistent.

[Little Slide Rooter]

If the Cubs stop letting this chuump mow them down, that would be super.

Oh, I know... just pointed it out cause I remembered it was Hank that game, too.

[David]

Can something happen in this game so I can get to 10k posts already

Unless he has a seven pitch inning or something, there's no way Lou should send him out for the sixth.
