Theriot struck out swinging

[bcl412]

From what it sounds like Jimmy Ryan is the only guy to pitch in a game and hit for the cycle in the same game. He did it in 1888. Edited April 29, 2009 by bcl412

Every time Joey Gathright does anything, Jake Fox inches 1 step closer to the majors.

Why is Milton still in?

[TruffleShuffle]

From what it sounds like Jimmy Ryan is the only guy to pitch in a game and hit for the cycle in the same game. He did it in 1888.

 

i'm sort of shocked that it's ever happened before.

[Cubswin11]

If a guy is looking for a triple to get the cycle this is probably one of the top 3 parks in MLB to get it.

[Tryptamine]

Why is Milton still in?

 

He needs at bats.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson in at lf for the CUBS

[Fred Hornkohl]

Montero singled to right field

[Tryptamine]

Bleh, Z wont get another at bat now.

[bcl412]

Put Z at first and let him hit again.

[Cubswin11]

With Hill starting for Soto, and now Johnson and Gathright in do we have anyone else left on the bench to come in and play defense? I know Soto and Ramriez could pinch hit and they probably want Lee to get the full night off so it could get interesting if someone has to come out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Upton singled to right center field , Montero to third

[sweetpeteman]

I checked Wikipedia to see if it listed any pitchers, it didn't, but I did learn this:

 

 

Gary Ward (1980) and Daryle Ward (2004) became the first father/son combo to hit for the cycle.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Can they please not stretch Z out well past what they should so he can hit for the cycle?

[bcl412]

I found it first Len.

[Tryptamine]

Time to pull him before he ruins his quality outing.

[apete6]

I checked Wikipedia to see if it listed any pitchers, it didn't, but I did learn this:

 

 

Gary Ward (1980) and Daryle Ward (2004) became the first father/son combo to hit for the cycle.

 

Its more amazing that Daryle actually ran 270 feet at one time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wilson singled to left center field , Montero scored, Upton to third

[Cubswin11]

Seriously Lou get Guzman, Cotts, or Shark in. This is silly making him throw these extra pitches just so he might get up (3 guys would need to reach base) to maybe hit for the cycle (and get the hardest part of it, it's not like he needs a single).

 

Not to mention these extra runs/hits are killing my fantasy team(s)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lopez grounded out to second, 4-3 , Upton scored, Wilson to second

[NotSoSober]

Is anyone warming up? And I do like the idea of putting Zambrano at first, silly as it may seem.
