ST - 3:17: Cubs (Z!) at Dodgers (Wolf)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Carlos Zambrano hit a 3-run HR and the Cubs lead 4-0 in the middle of the 2nd.

 

No radio or video, so let's all imagine Z pitching with a green hat on.

Watching it via Dodgers live FREE streaming feed on there MLB website. Working kinda slow though

Thanks for the link. 7-1 Cubs.

K Hill 2run shot he's 3-3. I'd rather see him take the backup job over Bako.

[TruffleShuffle]

It's really strange for Marshall to come in and get 1 inning today. It doesn't seem like the type of thing that a starter normally does to build up his endurance. It was another perfect inning for him though.

 

Gregg with another scoreless inning with 1 hit and 1 K. That's 6 innings total now with 3 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk, and 6 strikeouts.

 

Koyie Hill finally makes an out but is now 4 for 5 today. He is really going to put to the test if Lou is willing to go with the better person in ST or not.

Urgh ... only 2 K's in 5 innings?

[shnsajax]

I love how Carlos looks angry when he throws.

[BCVM22]

Urgh ... only 2 K's in 5 innings?

 

Nope, even better. 1 K in 5 innings.

Has anyone been able to dig up a pitch count for Z? I would like to think that perhaps he was simply pitching to contact, "working on a pitch" as pitchers are supposedly wont to do in spring training. His GB:FB was 9:5, so not all bad.

Ugh, still 19 more days until opening day, 26 days until baseball at Wrigley. This Spring Training has gone on FOREVER.
