4/8 Cubs (Lilly) @ Astros (Moehler) - 7:05 CDT CSN+

It was nice to see Cub hitters making a struggling pitcher work and only taking what he's giving for once. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue.

 

However, if he was struggling and lefty, he'd have been out of that inning in 8 pitches.

You think we'd take 8 pitches? I think we could get ourselves out on 4 vs. a lefty.

Does anyone have a Fangraph of the Cubs odds to win this game?

[erik316wttn]

Come on, Ted. Throw strikes with a big lead.

[Cynosure]

Don't know how that was a strike but Ball 3 wasn't.

[Guest]

Any idea what the wind is gonna do to balls tonight? Cubs really didn't get anything in the air in the inning.

 

I believe they showed before the game that it's blowing out to left.

Freakin' Keppinger

[anabiono]

2000 hitter?

 

i am confused

[Outshined_One]

Lance Berkman's MLB.com picture is trying to seduce me.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Keppingers just been one of those guys whose always been a thorn in our side like Aaron Miles and Augie Ojeda. They dont do any serious damag, but always seem to get on base.

[erik316wttn]

Nice catch, Kouske.

 

2 down

the President of Awesome strikes again!

[Hall7810]

Oh yippie, the prospects of Vizciano pitching tonight.

[erik316wttn]

Whew.

 

If he'd have hit that square, it would be 4-2 right now.

[anabiono]

who would have thought i would miss that cute little hop in left?

[UMFan83]

Wow, with the wind blowing out, the short porch, Carlos Lee hitting and Ted Lilly pitching, I assumed that was gone off the bat.

[Outshined_One]

Good job not giving up runs after a big inning, Ted.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Oh yippie, the prospects of Vizciano pitching tonight.

 

As long with we have a double digit lead by then, Im OK with it.
