Re: 04/18 St Louis (Lohse) @ CUBS (Dempster) 2:40, FOX TV, XM183

that's not that dumb of a base running mistake. It forces the other team to cut it off and ensures the run scores.

[schaumpton]

I'll take it. Would have been nice to have Lee on 2nd with ARam up.

Wow! Fuku takes an outside pitch and it's called a ball!

 

In general, Fuku seems to have pitches called strikes on the outside that I see no other hitter in baseball get called on.

 

Lee gets a lot of pitches called strikes that are low. Although, I hate it, it is kind of understandable.

Actually, I've thought for a while that Lee gets calls that most of the Cubs don't get.

[Sammys Boombox]

All the offense is coming from Theriot and the Soriano, Fuku, Lee part of the order.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Now cue-up Demp/bullpen implosion?

[TruffleShuffle]

unfortunately lohse has weirdly become a really good pitcher since joining the cardinals, so we're probably not going to score 3 runs today.

 

good call idiot.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Whether we win or loose, Im just glad we finally got to Lohse after the annoucers spent the entire game gushing over him.

It seems like he does on the outside, but not down, but that's just me and obviously it's not scientific.

[woodchip2153]

hopefully we get a 1-2-3 here so Larussa might leave in a tiring Lohse.

[Keener98]

Did you do it yet Butters?

[Tryptamine]

The corner is gone again.

Yeah, you might be right. Basically, umpires are weird.

 

I think we're going to win. If this comes down to bullpens, theirs out-sucks ours.

the more i think about it the more i think it was just a good defensive play. i think fukudome scores anyways but if it's not cut off then lee is in standing up. just a good play by pujols on that one.

[Tryptamine]

GJ Demp, he's recovered nicely.

[Sammys Boombox]

Perfect! That's exactly what you want in that situation.

[Butterscup1679666578]

yes. pics will be uploaded shortly.

[CyHawk_Cub]

[Butterscup1679666578]

Dear MLB,

 

Thank you for locking me out of watching the game on MLB.TV. It makes sense that I can't watch the game on a service I paid for because Fox is showing the Yankees losing by 14 runs. Rupert Murdoch isn't even American! Ted Turner never pulled these shenanigans.

 

Sincerely,

Guancous

[Little Slide Rooter]

Now I dont feel as bad about Lee getting thrown out.
