Harden trying to bunt for a hit?

 

Heh.

[Tryptamine]

I'm not sure why, but this game already has me annoyed.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

21 more pitches and a runner in scoring position, another nice result for a non-scoring inning.

[Roast]

45 pitches for Looper

Excellent.

[UMFan83]

If I was a pitcher, I'd spend my entire downtime from pitching practicing hitting.

 

But I bet there are a billion reasons why that isn't a good idea.

[David]

I'm not sure why, but this game already has me annoyed.

 

unearned runs and hard hit balls that turn into two outs for us will do that

[Fred Hornkohl]

how many fingers is Hill missing?

 

They were able to reattach the severed fingers.

[UMFan83]

I'm not sure why, but this game already has me annoyed.

 

4 base runners in 2 innings with no runs for the Cubs and a completely unearned run for the Brewers maybe?

[Outshined_One]

OH GOD DON'T SHOW US THAT.

[Keener98]

Holy [expletive] thats the 1st ime I had seen the replay from last night, wow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cameron struck out swinging

[Ski]

97

[Ski]

Oh wow

[Outshined_One]

Holy [expletive] thats the 1st ime I had seen the replay from last night, wow.

 

Chris Young, Matt Clement, and Bryce Florie all came to mind.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hall called out on strikes

[otis89]

97! Harden's fine.

[Butterscup1679666578]

oh god harden only hit 97 that AB he must be hurt.

[UMFan83]

OK, I take back my comments in the first inning. Now Harden looks like he's dealing like he did back in July and August.

[Keener98]

Here comes the K's, beautiful Harden. Lets strike out the side

[Ski]

This is the first time I have actually seen Harden pitch (besides game 3 of the playoffs last year, but I quit watching that after the first inning). Wow, just filthy.

[cubsfan26]

Harden strikes out the side!

[TruffleShuffle]

these brewers announcers said harden isn't going to walk you, he only walked 30 in 71 innings with the cubs, so you have to go up there and be aggressive. 30 in 71 innings? that's not great.
