6/2 Cubs (Wells) @ Braves (Kawakami) 6CDT WGN

[cubswin2009]

Ryan Braun now Escobar?

[David]

Good now get Johnson AND Fukudome out there.

 

Yes, good that one of the better hitters on the team is hurt so an inferior hitter against righties can play.

Bradley is good? Have I missed the first 60 games of this season or something? I'd rather have Hoffpauir, Fox out there

 

 

You must've missed like 7 years of Bradley's career, I guess.

[haubrich91]

Wow, ump.

[NotSoSober]

lol, how can the ump not realize it didn't hit him?

[rynefan]

LOL, they're afraid they won't get on against Wells

[Little Slide Rooter]

So will this be one of those times where Milton isnt DLd but rather site out for 8 games leaving us short?

[Z38Cubs]

Yea, it's great that we can run out our career minor leaguer, and a sub par hitter against righties instead of Bradley, the guy who's hitting over .300 the last 2 weeks and led the league in OPS last year. The reactions of some people on here are so ridiculous it's not even funny.

[David]

Imagine if he gets the no-no and misses the perfect game on that.

[Old Style]

lol @ blue

 

That ball was 2 feet from his head.

[cubswin2009]

lol, how can the ump not realize it didn't hit him?

Better yet, why didn't Soto say anything? Wasn't he behind the plate when Braun did it too?

Am I wrong in wanting Escobar hit in the ribs for ruining what has thus bar been a perfect game on his flop?

[Andy]

Isn't that like the 3rd time just in recent years that someone's gotten an HBP on a foul ball against us? Berkman, Braun, now this guy. Does it happen like that to other teams? The only other time I can recall was that horribly bad HBP call in the 05 World Series.

 

Randy Wells is absolutely awesome.

[haubrich91]

Jimmy Ballgame.

[Andy]

lol, how can the ump not realize it didn't hit him?

Better yet, why didn't Soto say anything? Wasn't he behind the plate when Braun did it too?

He'd probably get tossed and suspended 3 games for letting the ump shove him or something.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-14 when the opponent GIDPs at least once.... 12-10 when they don't :scratch:

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[ConstableRabbit]

Just tuned in. What happened to Bradley and how bad did it look?

[NotSoSober]

no, Lilly will probably end up hitting him tomorrow

[haubrich91]

lol, how can the ump not realize it didn't hit him?

Better yet, why didn't Soto say anything? Wasn't he behind the plate when Braun did it too?

 

Probably didn't want to risk being thrown out.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Escobar also was looking back with his eyes to see where Soto was set up right before the pitch, sort of like Oh Henry back in the day.

 

That's a no-no, too.

[Fred Hornkohl]

A Blanco grounded out to second, 4-3

[Outshined_One]

Just tuned in. What happened to Bradley and how bad did it look?

 

Came up limping a bit on a close play at 1B and hobbled his way off the field on his own. Could be nothing, could be a torn ACL.
