8/3 Cubs (Wells) vs DB's Reds (Harang), 6:10pm, WCIU/ESPN

[JockJones]

75 pitches for Wells. Could he be the Cubs first CG of the year? More realistically, he might be able to go 2 more if he keeps it up.

 

Didn't Marshall throw a rain-shortened CG already this year?

[CyHawk_Cub]

Cubs offense appears to have taken the rest off the night off....go Randy go

[UMFan83]

Koyie sure takes a lot of strikes on the inside of the plate.

 

Yeah but Harrang is doing a very very nice job of hitting that corner of the zone tonight.

Rangey McRangerson screened Fontenot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS held the opponents to 4 hits in a game.... Sat 26 July 09 (4 hits) in a 5-2 win over Cincinnati at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Dammit, Wells looks like that error fazed him

..... or, he's just plain out of gas.

Yeah. He's leaving everything up in the zone. Looks like he just ran out of gas all of the sudden.

[illiniguy]

anyone up in the pen?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 45-4 when they lead at the end of the 7th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Hall7810]

Take your time

[C.C.]

Good job!!!

[UMFan83]

Well, hopefully he can get this last out and have Grabow/Guzman and Marmol finish this puppy up. Wells easily could have gone out for the 8th if that error didn't cause him to throw ~15 more pitches

[Flames24Rulz]

Thankfully Paul Janish sucks.

[Fred Hornkohl]

anyone up in the pen?

 

Grabow

[Derwood]

Reds hitters are soooooo bad

[NotSoSober]

Another excellent outing for Wells, time to score a couple runs cause our bullpen scares me and I doubt he's coming back out for the 8th.

[Cubs Fan In NY]

Koyie sure takes a lot of strikes on the inside of the plate.

 

Yeah but Harrang is doing a very very nice job of hitting that corner of the zone tonight.

 

He is, it just seems like he takes that pitch a lot. With how close he stands to the plate he should adjust.

[illiniguy]

Randy Wells has to be the favorite for Rookie of the Year. I guess maybe J. A. Happ too, but no way should any hitter get a shot.

[Sosa21MVP]

Randy Wells is awesome. I never really believed he would keep pitching well for this long but here we are.

[mul21]

See, here's the problem with Dusty. 107 pitches before the inning starts and he sends Harang back out there, He's going to end up throwing 120+ after the walk, maybe 130. Just dumb.

If McCutchen keeps hitting, I don't see how he won't get consideration.
