I'm surprised to see Reed Johnson and Aaron Miles both have an OPS over 500 this season. Good for them.

Nice.

 

 

Oh, and good to see we're not giving AG anything to hit.

[NotSoSober]

Keep pitching to him.

STOP PITCHING TO GONZALEZ

[CyHawk_Cub]

What part of "don't throw Gonzalez a strike" does our staff not understand?

[Schwarber Fan]

We've officially got ourselves another Cub Killer

Nice.

He's very good against everyone. But you've got a great hitter in the middle of the worst offense in the game. There is literally no reason to give him drivable pitches.

Yeah, you throw a strike to Gonzales but let Brian Giles get 3-0. Awesome.

What is the deal with the lack of WGN broadcasts...?

 

Is that a rhetorical question?

 

 

Just seems like WGN is on the way out for cubs broadcasts.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So wait, why do we pitch to Adrian Gonzalez who happens to be surrounded by 8 easy outs?

I've been trying to figure this out for three days now.

It's been going that way for years. No reason for WGN to air the games itself when it/the Cubs could sell the rights to CSN.

yeah but he's the first batter of the inning. unless the rest of the offense is pitchers, it's a pretty bad idea to just give a free pass to a leadoff hitter.

No, but you don't feed the middle of the zone, either. Pitch him borderline, and if you lose him, you lose him. He's the only guy in their lineup who has proven he can hurt you.

Exactly. They get paid for every CSN game they show and have to pay a fee for every WGN game they show. It's actually pretty amazing that they're still showing almost half the games when you consider their potential revenue differences if they switched like the Braves did and abandoned the Superstation.

I don't know if they are airing substantially fewer than they did last year, but this is a trend that's at least a decade old.

It's Ryan Dempster, it's not like he can put the ball exactly where he wants it. And it's not like the guy can't drive a borderline pitch either.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im really starting the think that the only way to keep up with the Brewers is to never lose again. As bad as their starting staff is, they seem to put up 6-10 runs a night like its nothing.

True, but that was a meatball.

 

But I wouldn't be bitching about this if I hadn't seen what I've seen the past couple nights.
