04/13 Rockies (Jimenez) @ Cubs (Lilly) ~2:30 PM CDT WGN TV

[Tryptamine]

Worst team ever with the bases loaded.

[bukie]

Loading the bases intentionally for Ryan "invisible power" Theriot.

To be fair, he's OPSing like 1.300+ right now.

Most of that is OBP. :)

[haubrich91]

Ugh.

.600

 

He's actually slugging like .700. At least he was before this game.

Maybe Lou told Theriot to pop it up and see if anybody would slip trying to catch the ball?

[bukie]

Not a good day offensively for Theriot, unless you credit him for the error.

[Roast]

so the game is official now?

It was a half inning ago because the cubs were in the lead.

[manbearcub]

gonna be a lot of looooong games this year.

[Guest]

Since we're the home team and we're winning I believe the game was official after the Rockies' half of the inning.

stupid technicalities. I miss the old rule of it being official after five

[Guest]

I wonder how much the elements are contributing to Lilly's no-no? I'd say the score should be at least 3-2 Cubs. Also the k-zone seems to be rather large today.

[Butterscup1679666578]

strike?

[Roast]

Where teh eff was that?

[Butterscup1679666578]

nice pitch

[Outshined_One]

This ump has a really bizarre corner.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Iannetta struck out swinging

[hotshot13422]

yay for horrible make up calls!

[Keener98]

Make up call for the blown curve earlier in the ab

I think the ump is tired of standing in the cold.

[bukie]

This strike zone reminds me of those annoying banner ads where you have to hit the moving monkeys.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barmes, pinch hitting for Rusch, popped out to third base
