[Roast]

NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER

:-))

 

Yeah, he's already at 76 pitches. So...

 

NO HITS NO HITS NO HITS.

It would be fantastic if Lilly could go 7. The bullpen needs some rest.

If he keeps this up methinks he'll be going all nine.

 

Yea when does discussion of you know what begin?

with 75 pitches through 5?

 

Lou and Larry would be dead in the dugout if they tried pulling Lilly at the rate he's going.

As soon as Fowler led off the game with a strikeout.

[WTFCUBS]

When do you draw the line pitch count wise when he hasnt you know what?? Edited April 13, 2009 by WTFCUBS

[cubswin2009]

Ted only throws like 80. Let him throw 160.

I understand you can't take him out with the situation, but a 140 pitch complete game is a little much in April

[Brian]

I'd like to think Lou will be sensible if Lilly is still going with no hits and teh PC gets out of hand.

[JimSorgi]

Ted Lilly is pitching great. I don't think he's allowed many hits....

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson flied out to center field

[Guest]

When do you draw the line pitch count wise when he hasnt given up a hit?

When he gives up a hit or puts the tying run on base.

I agree, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Ted Lilly was a homicidal maniac, either.

[bukie]

Did Hawpe get tossed, or did the Rockies pull him voluntarily?

[YearofDaCubs]

So how has Fontenot looked at 3B?

[Tryptamine]

Of course, when no one is on base he gets a hit.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Miles singled to left field

[Brian]

nice of Miles to wait till the bases were empty to get a hit

[CubInOK]

Miles can hit? :shock:

[Keener98]

Ha Miles gets a hit with noone on

[Guest]

Miles actually got a hit :shock:

[jersey cubs fan]

It's Ted Lilly. He's been around forever and has been relatively healthy. I would think there's no reason to draw a line unless he starts walking multiple guys and inning and gets in danger of losing the game.

 

If it was a younger arm I'd think about pulling him earlier.

[cubsfan26]

Bad timing for your first hit Miles.
