7/19 Cubs (Hart) @ Nationals (Mock) 12:35PM WGN

ctcf · July 19, 2009

The lack of a game thread this close to game time is unthinkable and perhaps even unconstitutional so here I am with a surprise spot start live from Crete and taking a break from all this damned work. So assuming the mods don't change this, my prestigious, untarnished and all around fantastic GT record of 1-0 is on the line.

Finishing up what should be a 4 game sweep for the Cubs is:

Kevin Hart and his ridiculous mustache

1.69 ERA and 1.59 WHIP

vs.

Garrett Mock

6.92 ERA and 1.85 WHIP

Win idiots.

Derwood · July 19, 2009

It sure would be swell if these guys would work the count against a guy with a near-2.00 WHIP

but no, they'll swing at everything as always.

but hey, Milton might actually hit something hard today (BWA HA HA HA)

Wow, for as much as Milton walks, he doesn't pass go very often... :scratch:

There's a very good reason for that. D Lee hits ahead of Milton, Soto is on the D/L, and just look at the rest of the cast of characters ........

I'm sure. So, Fox does NOT catch this series? I think last night would have been a good time to get him back there. You don't really want him catching Zambrano, because that's a fight waiting to happen. Harden has had control issues. One of the inexperienced guys and against a bad team would have been a great chance to see if Fox can make it 9 innings behind the plate.

MembersOnlyJacket · July 19, 2009

Thank god I don't have to listen to Rob Dibble for 9 innings again today.

You didn't appreciate him telling the viewers that pitchers must trust their stuff ? After all, he only gave up 27 hr to 2000 batters!

UMFan83 · July 19, 2009

Yay for Badly not playing today.

I just noticed that Fuku is OPSing .908 for the month of July heading into today. Sweet.

I just noticed that Fuku is OPSing .908 for the month of July heading into today. Sweet.

It's just 9 games so you have the obvious sample size, but leading off games this season these are his numbers: .375/.444/.750/1.194.

Also with the team struggling as a whole in these situations, it's nice to see these numbers from Kosuke with RISP: .278/.417/.463/.880.

Hopefully being at the top of the order is helping him.

Also with the team struggling as a whole in these situations, it's nice to see these numbers from Kosuke with RISP: .278/.417/.463/.880.

Hopefully being at the top of the order is helping him.

Yeah, the top part of the batting order definitely agrees with Kosuke. (in admittedly small sample sizes.) He does some of his best RBI work up there, too.

I just noticed that Fuku is OPSing .908 for the month of July heading into today. Sweet.

It's just 9 games so you have the obvious sample size, but leading off games this season these are his numbers: .375/.444/.750/1.194.

Also with the team struggling as a whole in these situations, it's nice to see these numbers from Kosuke with RISP: .278/.417/.463/.880.

He's taking more pitches there than elsewhere in the lineup too. At this point, I'm all for him leading off the remainder of the season (and probably his entire Cub career).
