love the 70s crowd, lol

This would be a really nice time for D-Lee to take a pitch or two.

 

Or you can ground out to the SS for the 1,000 time this season on the first pitch.

 

That pitch was right down the middle. If he took that pitch, and then grounded out on a low and away pitch, you would probably be complaining about how the first pitch was the best one and he should have swung at that. Can't have it both ways.

Chris Young perfect through 5

Chris Young perfect through 5

And he will blow it now.

[Hall7810]

THAT'S A STRIKE

Chris Young perfect through 5

 

Think Derrek is rooting for him?

[Hall7810]

Same damn pitch.

[BCVM22]

What in the hell

[UMFan83]

C'mon Cotts that's a routine play

[Guest]

2 straight BB? Swing at the first pitch of course

 

Ehh, it was a nice pitch right down the middle. He did hit it hard, needs to get some air under it though rather than hope for a ground ball to find a hole.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Hmm....looked like he got it with the toe of his shoe.

[Brian]

Soriano going for the long jump there.

That's the only problem, he can't elevate anything.

[sweetpeteman]

Not only did Cotts get him the first time, but also the second time...horrible call by the ump.

[genbar]

Dear Alfonso Soriano,

 

I will never become accustomed to your hop.

 

Love,

genbar

He did, but like Bob said, if you look like you missed it, the Ump is gonna call it against you.

[CubmanPi]

No Howry?

Dear genbar,

 

Good, because I won't stop doing it. I can't promise that I won't get hurt doing it either.

 

Love,

Alfonso Soriano

[Brian]

so can any other manager besides Dusty have a 'short bench' in September?

[Hall7810]

Damn this ump!

[kujay]

That was a strike a couple innings ago!

[BCVM22]

Marmol is just dirty.

[CubmanPi]

With all of today's ridiculous calls, I can't imagine not getting the K there. Good thing Marmol can notch five strikes per AB if he needs to.

[Joe_Cub]

who's the home plate ump today?

[IowaCubsFan]

I heart Marmol.
