[Cynosure]

D Lee is back!

[Sammy Sofa]

Awesome AB by Bradley.

 

Never seen a guy that pumped to be walked.

 

yeah that was weird.

 

I feel for the guy, but he's his own worst enemy. He's clearly thinking that the umps are out to get him, so he's happy a call went his way after a long AB, but clapping your hands right there is basically throwing that [expletive] in the ump's face.

[Keener98]

Sure am glad Lees back in the lineup....

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee grounded into a DP, 6-4-3, Bradley out at second, Theriot to third

[Butterscup1679666578]

that looked like a miserable call

 

bang bang on the replay though

They deserve it this year.

Yeah, he sure was awful before he got sick.

[Cynosure]

That was a pretty good fake rally.

[CubColtPacer]

Close play on Lee.

 

That was his first double play of the season.

I can tell you're new around here.

 

Business as usual around here.

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about Bradley's conspiracy theory, but I think he's been screwed on called strike threes at least five times this year, and at least a couple of those were ball fours.

[Jake]

Duke's probably wondering if his team will ever score any for him

 

Not with this team

 

Fixed

 

 

I kid, I kid :D

 

I hope you're right, but didn't he pitch a complete game loss against the Sox last week? During which his team got two whopping runs?

two hits. lost 2-0. Only threw 88 pitches over 8 innings.

An LaRoche grounded out to second, 1-4-3, Ad LaRoche to second
