Re: 8/30 Phillies (Myers) @ Cubs (Lilly) 2:55 Fox

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.

 

He should have been able to get around on that one. This isn't Lee/Theriot/Edmonds bat speed here.

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

 

Too bad we used up all our options with him already, I believe.

Dobbs, pinch hitting for Romero, flied out to deep center field

[PrimeTime]

Geez Howry sucks. I bet little leaguers could tee off on his straight fastball

[Vinestal]

What are the chances we can get to Lidge? This seems to be "use your bad relievers" day for the Cubs, first Cotts now Howry... ouch!

What better choices are out there instead of Cedeno?

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

 

Sure is. Sac flies count against OBP but not AVG. Soto must not have any BB/HBP to counter the lower OBP than AVG.

Zambrano might have been a better option lol

Dick Stockton is horrible.

The Hoff, of course

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rollins singled to right field

[JoshiQ]

Why are they explaining that a fly ball that lands in foul territory is a foul ball?

 

Is the common person that watches baseball on Fox an idiot?

[Garage Party]

I told you already! His floor is higher than Theriot's ceiling!

[David]

I'm more angry than usual this game because of the umpiring and the missed scoring opportunities.

 

 

Serenity now

[PrimeTime]

Phillies are going to add 3 more 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.

 

The ump and our hitting bailed him out. He could have walked in a run, then had the bases loaded with 1-2 outs.

I agree....without the lol

[David]

What the hell do you people expect from the backup SS who is also the last guy off the bench?

[Vinestal]

Howry is almost always good for at least 1 HR.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Utley singled to right field , Rollins to second

[David]

I sure wish we had Neifi taking that role and making a couple million dollars.

[PrimeTime]

Your really going to fool them with your straight fastballs over the middle of the plate ,Bob

[UMFan83]

What the hell do you people expect from the backup SS who is also the last guy off the bench?

 

I look at it as "our second best option to hit lefties off the bench" more than "backup SS"

[UMFan83]

Burrell is due
