5/3 Florida (Nolasco) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20 (CT) WGN

[Outshined_One]

Baker singled to center field

 

I know im a brewer fan but I don't see the Cubs coming back from this. Ballgame.

 

:flame:

[Tryptamine]

So do the Cubs position their second baseman more towards first than other teams or is the range really just not very good? It seems a lot of balls similar to the last one get stopped by other teams.

Im sure it was mentioned but im lazy. When is A-Ram suppose to be back?

[Brian]

that looked pretty good to me.

[Sammys Boombox]

Um, strike three?

They really do not like playing their second basemen up the middle.

 

Also, the inside corner seems to be pretty small today.

H Ramirez doubled to right center field , Baker to third

Yeah I know what you're saying. But Baker is LH, they might have been playing him to pull more. I imagine they play there for righties and obviously for double play scenarios.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-0 when they don't allow any extra base hits.... 10-11 when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammys Boombox]

Seriously, all season long when the Cubs throw a borderline pitch that could be called strike three and it isn't, it leads to runs.

[UMFan83]

C'mon stay out of too much trouble Z. I want good Z today.

[UMFan83]

1-0 Florida.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cantu grounded out to first, unassisted , Baker scored, H Ramirez to third

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-8 when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 2-3 when they do

CUBS are 8-3 when they score first in the game.... 4-8 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Z is trying to nibble too much on 2 strike counts.

[Outshined_One]

I'm not liking this umpire.

[Tryptamine]

Smallest strike zone ever.

[Little Slide Rooter]

This ump is a mite stingy. I hope he stays that way for Nolasco.

Z is not getting calls with 2 strikes.
