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

[Fred Hornkohl]

Anderson flied out to center field

[Outshined_One]

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

 

Hey, Escobar might have gotten a hit on the next pitch. You never know.

 

He also probably would have taken that pitch on the chin if his bat wasn't right there.

[cubswin2009]

Randy! Randy! Randy!

[haubrich91]

Right calf strain. Surprised it wasn't his groin.

[David]

Is it possible that Randy Wells is actually good?

 

I didn't know the whole back story on him (on how he was recently converted and hasn't been pitching for very long)...

[Old Style]

strained right calf = please DL him

Hypotheticaly, if the rest of the game goes the same way, and thats the only Braves baserunner, would they be able to overturn it and make it a perfect?

He's been pitching since 2004.

Who are we dying to get onto the roster?

Yeah, that ball was at least a foot from his head.

I'm waiting for another DuBois suggestion.

[haubrich91]

NASTY pitch.

[Tryptamine]

My god he's absolutely dealing right now.

Looked like he had the bat close to his head/chest when it hit him. I'll have to watch the replay to double check.

What's your definition of recently? He converted to pitching the same year as Marmol - 2003.

I was going to ask this question. I didn't even remember that he pitched 4 innings for the Cubs last year 'til I looked on baseball reference.

No, and I'll hope Wells takes the higher route and doesn't become Pappas.

I could see that not happening for the same reason they wouldn't go back for CC Sabathia's one-hitter last year — the "pressure" or whatever.

[E.J.]

What the hell has gotten into Randy Wells. He wasn't that highly regarded in the minors. Now he's pitching like he's Pedro Martinez or something. I guess it is the Braves.

Is this the Rand-O-Meter?

It was clear that it got the bat.
