09/25 CUBS (Harden) @ NY Mets (Martinez) 6:10pm CDT, CSN+

94!!

 

And yes, I'm satisfied

[Ski]

The Cubs success in the playoffs depend on the velocity of Rich Harden.

Plus you did want him to stop racking up such huge pitch counts. ;)

On his last 4 pitches

Also, remember that Harden's career high in K's is like 11, which he did a few times with us, IIRC. It's not like he's always been a strikeout machine. Look at his K/IP from his first couple years. He's actually K'ing more guys this year with a more limited repertoire.

 

Good point. I knew this was the case, just too lazy to look it up.

No it really doesn't

[Bote McBoteface]

What is disturbing is that Martinez, a shell of his former self, has managed 7 K's yet, a supposedly healthy Harden doesn't have one.

 

Pedro is facing our AAA team whereas Harden is facing the 2nd best offense in the league.

I wasn't being serious.

I see what you did there

 

harden is throwin the good stuff now

[17 Seconds]

I think he was holding back on purpose to stay healthy

[David]

K's him on a 92 mph fastball

[David]

People should realize by now that Ski is a good poster.

[UMFan83]

It took Harden 37 less pitches to get through 5 than last time out )

Rich heard us telekinetically and decided to show us some speed.

[mikeyt34]

One more inning? I say yank him now.

[anabiono]

what is Dick's pitch count?

[Brian]

"5 inning" Rich can go 1 maybe 2 more if efficient.

 

 

not quite the ring of "1 Pitch" Rich

[UMFan83]

Koyie Hill has absolutely sucked since that one game in Cinci.

[gflore34]

Fukudome, at this point, is nothing more than a defensive replacement.

A big part of that was DeRo's misplay in the first inning extending that one, IIRC.

[David]

Of course this damn game is tied. Somebody score please. I don't care which team.

[Ski]

Wow, Rich Harden had a hit in this game?!

Legged out a ground ball. Outran Pedro to the bag.
