I'm so happy I have this game on mute.

Where's the glove wiggle?

 

Well there's the problem. Someone get on the horn to the dugout and tell them to tell Dempster to get to wiggling.

 

Just odd that he stopped it, that's all.

 

Once I saw this post I tried to notice, but they didn't show the full windup in any pitch after that. Have you seen him do the full windup without the wiggle?

Nice recovery inning for Dempster.

[Tryptamine]

We need to setup a task force to get Joe Morgan fired!

 

I swear he never paused to take a breath during his 5 minutes of Hank Aaron loving.

It's much less pronounced. It appears to be one twist, as opposed to two or three he did last year--or even last start.

If there's one player that comes to mind when I think of Soriano, it's Hank Aaron.

Dempster flied out to shallow center field

[ChiCubsFan]

Hey Fred, I just got home but was listening to Pat and Ron on the drive back home and they were talking about Soriano leadoff homers. Pat said he was trying to search for the Cubs record the past 2+ years when Soriano leads off (they calculated it happened 19 times) but they couldn't find it. Do you have this info? If so, maybe shoot them an email and get a shoutout for NSBB.

man i feel really dumb after listening to that.

[hardcorecubfan]

My ears are hurting!!! shut up Joe

Good AB by Sori

Soriano walked

srsly - great take on the 3-2 there.

[Hall7810]

There's a reason Steve Phillips no longer works in a baseball front office.

[hardcorecubfan]

"Lou tried moving Sori down" What???

[chuckywang]

Psychologist Joe Morgan talking now.

[Cynosure]

Dempster only has 40 pitches through 2!

[CubInOK]

The last few posts make me love Gameday Audio that much more.

[JimSorgi]

Joe Morgan is on fire tonight.

I don't think he should be in baseball either but I agree with him this time, love him at two

Which has been absolutely, unworkably terrible this year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano stole second base
