04/17 St Louis (Walters) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20,WGNTV,XM183

[Careless]

this guy is at 50 pitches already

[Outshined_One]

Not the ideal result, but I'll take it.

[Flames24Rulz]

Well, at least we got one.

[Butterscup1679666578]

ill take it.

[Guest]

I'll take that.

[UMFan83]

At least we got 1 this time...

 

I didn't want to have to talk about how this is the 5th time this year in 10 games where we had a runner on third and 0 outs and didn't score a run.

[weis21]

why do people ever throw Soriano a strike?

I've been asking myself that since the day we signed him. It simply makes no sense to throw anything but low and away breaking balls.

 

Eh, I'll talk it Kosuke. I was pretty sure we wouldn't have scored at all.

[haubrich91]

Now we won't score again this inning. I hate having the bases loaded.

[Soul]

Fuku continues to try mightily to be a contributer, and it is appreciated.

[Outshined_One]

Now we won't score again this inning. I hate having the bases loaded.

 

It's better than the Dusty days where you could lay even odds on the Cubs not scoring in an inning where they get a runner on third.

[Little Slide Rooter]

When the bottom of the lineup loads the bases with 0 out with the top of the order coming up traditionally, you should come out of the inning with more than 1 run.

It's better than the Dusty days where you could lay even odds on the Cubs not scoring in an inning where they get a runner on third.

And when the rookie mediocre opposing pitcher would be out of the second inning on 17 pitches, rather than pushing 60.

[UMFan83]

Now we won't score again this inning. I hate having the bases loaded.

 

I know, it seems like whenever we get the bases loaded, we either get way too patient and take too many hittable pitches trying to draw a walk, or we tighten up and expand our strike zone trying to get anything in the air to drive in a run. It's like we lose the approach that got us the bases loaded in the first place.

[Bruno7481]

Lee is just a tad late on those inside pitches he keeps fouling back.

[Flames24Rulz]

Ugh, Lee just missed extra-bases.

[Guest]

Damn it, Pat Hughes. You got my hopes up for no reason.

[erik316wttn]

Damn, that's just the way it goes when you're slumping. If you're hot, that ball lands fair.

[Guest]

This is a great AB from Lee.

[Bixby]

It sure would be nice to see Lee smack a double down the RF line or in the RCF gap.

[Flames24Rulz]

Bad result from a decent AB.

[erik316wttn]

Damn.

 

Boo birds out in full force after that.

[Butterscup1679666578]

sweet swing lee

[Outshined_One]

In all honesty, fair's fair after Pujols got called on his borderline check swing.

[haubrich91]

Well this kid knows the Cubs are suckers for sliders away.

[CubmanPi]

Crap. If Lee and Sori lay off pitches 18 inches off the plate that inning, it's 5-0 with 1 out and Ramirez batting.
