04/21 DB's Reds (Owings) @ CUBS (Harden) 7:05 pm, WGN TV

[Rob]

Why the hell would you send Ramirez? Lou is batty.

MICAH OFF MICAH

 

When's the last time that happened?

 

From my cursory glance at baseball-reference, you just saw the first ever MICAH vs. MICAH matchup.

I can't believe Lou freaking sent Ramirez. Good on Font for not swinging.

[Butterscup1679666578]

like to see us get at least another 2 or 3 here. this guy is terrible and we should rock him.

[E.J.]

If Fontenot gets a bunt sign, I'm personally strangling Lou.

 

I'm gonna strangle him for having Aram running on the 3-2 pitch to Fontenot.

[JoshiQ]

Ramirez needs to get those steal totals up.

MICAH OFF MICAH

 

When's the last time that happened?

 

There's my answer. Never.

[Butterscup1679666578]

dont GIDP here.

[CubmanPi]

Strike zone looks pretty tight for owings. I thought there would be three called strikes in the last two batters, and they were all balls.

 

Crap, soto just missed.

[UMFan83]

Ramirez was running? :banghead:

 

Of course...hafta run on every 3-2 count, right Lou?

[OleMissCub]

Got an AIM chat going...want in, let me know.

 

....I'm looking at you Rob...

[UMFan83]

Come on Theriot, we need 1 more this inning.

[Rob]

Got an AIM chat going...want in, let me know.

 

....I'm looking at you Rob...

 

Are you sure that's wise? I'm not drunk yet.

[haubrich91]

Nice hit Riot!

[CubmanPi]

Riot!!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Theriot has been smoking this year so far!

[thefranchise]

Nice Riot

Completely different zone than we saw the last couple of games. Much better so far

[chuckywang]

Theriot has been smoking this year so far!

 

Nicoderm can help him with that

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

There ya go, Rich!

[Careless]

great bunt.

[Rob]

That may be the hardest hit ball you see from Harden this season.

[WTFCUBS]

Dick Harden hauls balls.

[thefranchise]

Harden sure is fast.

[UMFan83]

Nice. This is one time where having Soriano in the leadoff spot helps the Cubs. If we didn't have such a dangerous threat there, they could have pitched around Theriot, allow Harden to hit with 1 out, and then take your chances on getting a DP, or just a single out and facing the leadoff guy with 2 outs.
