5/20: Cubs (Demp) at Cards (Carpenter); 7:15 pm CT, CSN/ESPN

[Hawk4Hall]

Well, good series, guys. On to San Diego.

 

We never seem to score on the west coast either. When do we play a team that will allow us to score again?

Home vs Pittsburgh next week. We should be fine then. Write off the next five games though.

The Brewers need to hit a slump ASAP.

[illiniguy]

It's the 4th inning, why is the infield in?

 

 

Seriously that may have been the dumbest move Lous made all year, and thats saying alot. The 4th [expletive] inning and our entire infield was pulled in. Lous panicking plain and simple.

 

It's pretty much telling your offense that you don't have faith in them to score a couple runs in the next five innings.

 

Exactly. Hell why not walk Duncan(who hits rightys very well) to face Nick [expletive] Stavinoah(whos a righty) and set up the double play? Plain [expletive] ignorance

We haven't done things the smart way in 100 years, why start now?

[Keener98]

Well here comes the Stl bullpen to shut up down for 4 innings.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-6 when the opposing starter pitches 6-1/3 innings or less.... 2-8 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Theres no excuse not to be able to scrape up a few runs vs. the Cards pen for 4 innings.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Poor Demp...he's pitched pretty well tonight too

 

j/k; I think we can get to the Cards 'pen--that's me trying to be optimistic

[gflore34]

Anyone else just want to punch Carpenter in the face?

[Keener98]

Anyone else just want to punch Carpenter in the face?

 

 

Why for doing his job? Id rather punch a few of the Cubs in their face(Lou, Milton, etc..) for not doing their job.

[Outshined_One]

In play: Out(s)

[BigSlick]

You asked: How will the Cubs offense fail to score this inning?

 

Options: First pitch swinging

 

Line outs

 

Runners on base stranded

[Careless]

easier than a bunt, sort of

[BCVM22]

I'm sure Carpenter appreciated the Cubs giving him a safe, comfortable environment in which to pitch a simulated game.

I loathe Lee.

[Hawk4Hall]

Bad Lee.

[Keener98]

Nice swing Lee, that was a thing of beauty

[BigSlick]

Lee decides to not get our hopes up after his "hot" streak and give us two pretty bad at bats

[Outshined_One]

That 91 mph meatball down the middle got an awesome swing out of Milton.

[illiniguy]

We probably should have went with Adam Dunn.

[Keener98]

lol Milton Bradley

[bcruise]

Who didn't see that coming?

[Hawk4Hall]

When is Bradley going to start earning his paycheck?

[Andy]

Apparently the St. Louis Cardinals are the greatest pitching staff ever assembled.

[Outshined_One]

Ah yes, the old "Maybe if I look angry enough, people will forget that at bat was my fault" look. Always a pleasure.

[BigSlick]

buuuuuhh bleeheheheh bubububububub

 

they are having some bad at bats
