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

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cubs on their way from the saddest offensive performance of the year, and theyve had some sad, sad offensive performances this year.

[BCVM22]

57 pitches through 7 innings. Unbelievable.

[Careless]

57 pitches through 7 innings. Unbelievable.

it's 68

[TruffleShuffle]

57 pitches through 7 innings. Unbelievable.

 

i too find it unbelievable, mostly because it's not true.

[CubmanPi]

57 pitches through 7 innings. Unbelievable.

:shock: I'm glad I got caught up watching a movie and missed this one. Holy crap.

 

EDIT - 68 is still pretty ridiculous.

:oops:

 

Still terrible, though.

[Little Slide Rooter]

In the Cubs defense, I sometimes have those days at work when I just want to sleepwalk through the day and go home.

[Sammy Sofa]

Do you guys just not watch that much other baseball?

[Little Slide Rooter]

I dont care what anyone says, now that we know that Ankiels OK, I find that video quite enjoyable.

[TruffleShuffle]

good job lilly... he pitched fine tonight, offense just laid an egg. bullpen will only have to go 1 inning tonight, most likely.

[coldsteel]

I suppose if there were game threads in the '90s when Maddux was dealing, they would have looked about like this.

Do you just not vent when you're frustrated?

[Little Slide Rooter]

When you have Ted Lilly vs. Joel Pineiro vand the Cardinals without Ludwick and Ankiel and you shut down Pujols, normally its an easy W.

[TruffleShuffle]

this is the dave duncan special - take a guy who had a neutral GB/FB ratio, sharpen up his control and make him a ground ball pitcher.

[BCVM22]

Well, this one's a loss.

[coldsteel]

Man... this is like a playoff game.

pretty much. the approach isn't bad (despite what everyone in this thread seems to think), but everyone in the lineup is just getting poor cuts at hittable pitches. it happens.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Proof that Patton, Cotts, and maybe Heilman shouldnt be on our roster.

[Tryptamine]

Where did that miss?

[manbearcub]

ha, that 1-1 curve wasa right down the middle

I'm sorry, how is first/second pitch hacking a good approach? I'd much rather see hitters work counts, which the Cubs seem opposed to--this evening at least.

Piniero was everything right down the middle, do you want them to take a strike to start every at bat?

[Hall7810]

Yeah, everything they swung at was right down the middle.

Cubs are usually much more patient. My guess is that someone said to jump on Pineiro early in the at bat and they took it too far.

[Tryptamine]

Stupid midget, Aram would have caught that.
