What the hell was that from Romero? Has he never gotten anyone out in his life?

[chuckywang]

JC Romero is such a douche.

[Mizzou]

JC Romero is someone I'd take pleasure in punching in the face.

 

Oh, and Ronny Cedeno still sucks. Why is he on this team again? Worthless.

Consensus, was that a strike?

 

Edit: I think it was a ball but could have gone either way.

Yes.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-14 when they trail by 3 runs or more at the end of the 8th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Wilson A2000]

He pitched pretty well even when he got squeezed. Take your anger out on the Cubs terrible hitting in that inning.

[Mizzou]

Consensus, was that a strike?

I think it was. Either way, too close to take with two strikes though.

[MemphisVol]

According to that chart, in the last 10 days, Soto has a lower OBP than AVG. That's not possible, right?

[Garage Party]

Oh, and Ronny Cedeno still sucks. Why is he on this team again? Worthless.

Because his floor is higher than Theriot's ceiling!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Consensus, was that a strike?

I thought so, but who knows... the strike zone has been wacky all series on both sides. Pitches right down the middle are being called balls and pitches at the ankles are strikes.

[Vinestal]

Cubs have been brutal today with runners in scoring position, it really sucks that Cedeno is wasting a spot on our bench.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 70-7 when they outhit the opponents.... 8-30 when they get outhit.... and 7-13 when the hits are even

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CubColtPacer]

Consensus, was that a strike?

 

My opinion was yes. Seemed like it hit a good part of the corner. A good pitch, especially since he hadn't thrown a fastball for a strike in like 10 pitches.

[UMFan83]

Consensus, was that a strike?

I think it was. Either way, too close to take with two strikes though.

 

It was a good pitch then because I highly doubt Soto could have done anything other than foul that off.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

It was, and one that Soto could have easily turned on.

Yeah I'm starting to wonder why Cedeno is here.

[DivineBovine]

Romero pisses me off. He pitched like crap and got lucky. Screaming like that. Lucky he isn't going to bat.

How did he pitch like crap. He faced 4 batters and struck out 3 of them.

Lots of sac flies.
