9/18 Brewers (Bush) at Cubs (Harden), 1:20 CT, CSN

[Vinestal]

Oh well, thats what happens when you cant play defense. Our offense has really blown lately to *sigh*

[kujay]

They are finding the holes...Jeff isn't doing a great job of staying in pitcher's counts though...

[Cynosure]

Durham singles through the hole into right field, Lamb scores.

 

Man on 1st & 3rd, 2 outs.

 

3-2 Brewers leading.

 

How the hell can't the Cubs ever do anything with 2 outs?

[CubmanPi]

Shark at a Harden-like 26 pitches this inning so far.

Except that Harden only had himself to blame.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Tie game. What in the hell is wrong with Jeff? Also DeRosa's fault big time

 

He got four grounders, one booted, one through the infield. What more is he supposed to do?

 

I agree and no point at all Brenly blameing Shark for not throwing first pitch strikes should of been done and out the inning.

Good thing Lou left Harden in for 115 pitches so he could go five innings and have a chance to get a win.

[UMFan83]

Are we going to lose every series at home to the Brewers this season?

[kujay]

I don't feel very good about this AB.

[Mizzou]

So much for letting Harden throw 115 pitches so that he could get a W.

Don't they have the best avg with RISP and 2 outs in baseball?

[jersey cubs fan]

I always wonder how people can boo a pitcher for giving up ground ball singles. A ground ball right to a fielder and the guy is a hero, a ground ball 10 feet to either side and he's a bum.

[TMan92]

If this goes to Fielder...we are screwed.

 

Nevermind...we are screwed.

Zone is total Howry

[Banedon]

I forgot this game was an afternoon game, so I just saw the box score, and have 2 questions:

 

1) Why did Harden throw 115 pitches?

 

2) How did he manage to throw 115 and only have 1 run and 1 hit allowed?

 

EDIT: ok, number 2 answered....6 bb's....:(

[weatherdood]

Least we get 4 innings of the Milwaukee bullpen

[Cynosure]

Braun bloops a single into right field, takes 2nd because Fukudome is a moron. Cameron scores.

 

Man on 1st & 2nd, 2 outs.

 

4-2 Brewers lead.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

I am SO sick of Ray Durham.

The same could be said for a lot of fly balls.

[kujay]

This is getting ridiculous.

[Careless]

almost threw IB 1 to the wall

[Cynosure]

Fielder intentionally walked (2) but Samardzija almost throws it over Geo's head. THANK DEROSA.

 

BASES LOADED, 2 outs.

That worked so well for us yesterday

[kujay]

Maybe somebody else should pitch to Hardy.

1) Why did Harden throw 115 pitches?

 

2) How did he manage to throw 115 and only have 1 run and 1 hit allowed?

 

1) Because it's a rule that starters must pitch 5 innings to get a win.

 

2) Because of a combination of a tight zone and lack of command.

hahaha yeah Im sure that wil work wonders for us like it did yesterday.
