4/10 Cubs (Harden) @ Brewers (Looper) - 3:05 CDT WGN

[David]

The play was only made difficult in the first place because of Theriot's poor throw on a completely routine play. I don't see how anyone could argue that it was Lee's error.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that error should be on lee

Not a chance in hell. He reached at full arms length above his head and yeah he missed it, but a shortstop should not make that high of a throw.

 

It hit his glove and he didn't have to leave his feet. He needs to catch it.

 

He would have had to leave his feet if he wanted to catch it, in which case the guy would have been safe and it would have been an error on Theriot. He probably thought it was going to keep coming down, since that's how Theriot's throws always move.

 

In that case the worst case scenario is that Weeks is barely safe at first, with a chance of him still being out. Instead he ended up on second cause the throw got away.

CUBS are 20-23 when they give up run(s) in the first inning..... 77-44 when they don't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

I really cant imagine getting shut out by Looper and the Brewer pen, so lets get some runs.

[David]

How deep was that?

 

well shy of the track

 

Wasn't sure when Pat said "next to the stands"

 

Thanks

Prince Fielder lost some weight? Really?

 

they say that every year, and every year i think he looks bigger.

he's really only 195. he just wears big clothes.

So it's an error on the throw for the guy reaching first and an error on Lee for him getting to 2nd.

 

Regardless, that wasn't an error on Lee. He would have had to leave his feet to make the catch. He was fully extended and barely got a glove on it. It's not his error, it's an error on the throw and is always an error on the throw (unless the scorer is trying to preserve some errorless streak by the thrower)

[Ski]

he shops in the "husky" section.

[David]

ahhh i'll never be able to stand pat no matter how much you guys like him.

 

 

the "excitement" in his voice when bad things happen to us just rubs me wayyyyy the wrong way

[haubrich91]

Yeah, let's start the game at 3 and have sun in awkward positions.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

strike 2 is not a strike

[Outshined_One]

Well, that works.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot doubled to left field

[Ski]

Holy crap theriot

[Tryptamine]

Theriot with the longest hit ball he's had in 6 months.

[UMFan83]

Dammit I thought that was gone.
