so the question now is will jason kendall get a hit this season

[Little Slide Rooter]

Anyone have a video of the Johnson catch? I was listening on the radio until now, and they made it sound like the greatest play ever.

A well timed robbery of a home run, it was no Endy Chavez... but it was robbing Fielder of a Grand Slam.

Keep an eye on the Gameday pitch-by-pitch, they add highlights mid-game sometimes.

Brewer's fans clapping for pitcher hitting Reed. Way to keep it classy guys.

 

i'd clap if the cubs retaliated by hitting prince or something.

 

I'd much rather it be Braun, at least Prince tipped his cap.

 

Braun already got hit with a pitch.

nice arm

[Outshined_One]

Greatest SS arm in baseball!

[Fred Hornkohl]

McGehee, pinch hitting for Julio, grounded an IF single to shortstop

Rocket arm

[Tryptamine]

Good pick by Theriot, but he has to have the weakest SS arm in the league.

There have been better home run robs...but unlike a lot of supposeded robbings of HRs, this one was clearly over the fence and brought back. Then you also have to consider the situation, the fact that it was going to be a grand slam, and the fact that it would have tied the game. It was a pretty fantastic catch.

[third eye]

Yeah, he doesn't have a good arm. But he did make a great pick, and I don't think a strong arm would have made that play either.

[Tryptamine]

Certainly not Demp's best, but at least he went 6.

Even with his weak arm, he made it pretty close. McGehee's got catcher speed.

[cubsfan26]

Solid game by Dempster tonight(thanks to Reed), he obviously didn't have the best control of his pitches. But he still made it through six innings and only allowed 4 runs to score.

According to Ron, the look on Fielders face made it all the better.

Funny the Cubs' P/PA is lower than the Brewers with the 8 walks.

[Cynosure]

Yeah, he doesn't have a good arm. But he did make a great pick, and I don't think a strong arm would have made that play either.

 

Even with his weak arm, he made it pretty close. McGehee's got catcher speed.

 

As in Soto "INSIDE THE PARK HOME RUN" speed?

[UMFan83]

The Johnson catch video should be up on MLB.com already. I just watched the video on the MLB.com app on my iPhone.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 57-1 when they lead by 2 runs or more at the end of the 6th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[third eye]

Yeah, he doesn't have a good arm. But he did make a great pick, and I don't think a strong arm would have made that play either.

 

Even with his weak arm, he made it pretty close. McGehee's got catcher speed.

 

I didn't think it was all that close, but for some reason I thought McGehee had decent speed. My bad.
