5/29 Dodgers (Billingsly) @ Cobs (Lilly) 1:20CDT CSN

[Pushfrog98]

Looking at how DLee has been pitched to recently, wouldn't it behoove him to scoot just a little closer to the plate?

CUBS are 20-3 when they lead at the end of the 7th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[jersey cubs fan]

Your 8-digit earning 1st baseman has a 950 OPS in May and yet his season total is still just 723.

 

That's sad.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[jersey cubs fan]

Do your thing bullpen. Hold it. Then close it.

 

That's not really this bullpen's "thing" though, is it?

[Careless]

what the heck was ball 2?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Furcal, pinch hitting for Billingsley, walked

[Andy]

Yep, of course this'll be the time that Marmol walks the world.

We can always hope they mess up and do it.

 

Damn it Marmol.

Not good at all. With ARAm out the offense needs DLee and Bradley to step up and thus far, neither really has.

[Cubswin11]

So we got this Marmol today, I fully expect another BB (possibly a WP as well) and then he will proceed to strike out the side.

[Andy]

THAT IS A STRIKE.

[Hawk4Hall]

Well that was odd.

[Outshined_One]

That's not a HBP.

[Careless]

if your foot is directly behind home plate, you don't get to go to first

[Brian]

great call, that always seems to go against the Cubs.

[Andy]

Bob was all over that.

 

And Pierre's out.

 

ETA: My mistake, that's just a 'strike' signal.

great call! :)

[Outshined_One]

This is going to be one of those games where we learn about a little-known rule in baseball, isn't it?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Furcal took second base on a wild pitch

Furcal's back at first.

[kujay]

What happened?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nice double play!

[Outshined_One]

That was a fun sequence of events.
