Re: 5/19: Cubs (Lilly) at Cardinals (Pineiro): In play: Out(s)

[illiniguy]

Rasmus should have kd two pitches ago.

[Andy]

Colby Rasmus's OPS vs. lefties: .495.

 

AFTER the homer.

[illiniguy]

Colby Rasmus's OPS vs. lefties: .495.

 

AFTER the homer.

and he should have been lower than that. This umpire is handicapping this game. He has been squeezing Lilly all night.

[TruffleShuffle]

so pujols is 0-3 and brendan ryan has been on base 3 times. what?

[Sammy Sofa]

Meh, it happens.

[Tryptamine]

If Lilly ever figures out how to keep the ball in the park he's going to be a really elite pitcher.

[coldsteel]

we must get to the hotel as soon as possible, and make sure we give pineiro no chance to make a hittable pitch.

[Keener98]

Go to hell Miles

[NonProfitCow]

Colby Rasmus's OPS vs. lefties: .495.

 

AFTER the homer.

Sample size

This Aaron Miles signing was awesome. Just awesome. And now we let Lilly hit. :banghead:

[Tryptamine]

That's a good way to get his pitch count up and Lilly swings at the first pitch.

Why would they take Lilly out?

Cause we are down three, just had a day off, and have few outs left.

[BCVM22]

I'm sure Pineiro will very much enjoy his 90-pitch CGSHO.

to have our awesome bullpen pitch 4 innings in the first game of a series.

[InconspicuousZ28]

WTF.... Lilly hasn't been getting that pitch tonight but he gets K'd on it.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I predict we get swept and see a total of 210 pitches in the process.

[big_shooter17]

at this point, i wouldn't worry about driving his pitch count up as much as looking for good pitches to hit. even if you take a strike for the sake of taking a strike, it isn't as if we can get the pitch count up high enough that tlr will go to the pen for that reason.

[Tryptamine]

57 pitches through 6; that is so far beyond pathetic.

[Outshined_One]

In retrospect, me giving up on the season when Ramirez went down was a brilliant idea!

D'uh, how could I forget?

[Little Slide Rooter]

We have 3 innings, and probably 20 more pitches to remember that Joel Pineiro is not Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens, and Jake Peavy rolled into 1.

[Hall7810]

This is embarrassing.

[Outshined_One]

That's it, I'm changing this Game Thread's title.

[Tryptamine]

Making a pitcher of Piniero's caliber look like a CY candidate is really frustrating.
