4/11 Cubs (Gorzelanny) @ Reds (Leake) 12:10 CST CSN+

[Andy]

Fonzie just off to a golden start today.

[illiniguy]

Nice catch minor leaguer.

[Drew Doughty]

LMAO soriano. that was classic.

[A-Cal]

wow...BOB LIKES SORIANO

 

I LOVE BOB

[MWV]

Gorz looks good.

[GlassCow]

Nice 1-2-3 inning on 10 pitches by Gorz.

Is Leake really this much of a phenom that they feel he didn't need any sort of Minor League experience at all?

FWIW he had amazing college numbers, but many don't think he has the kind of stuff to be very good at the big league level. Now that I've said that I imagine he 3 hits us.

 

Yeah, his FB is normally 88-92 but it's effective because of it sink. He also throws like 30 other pitches (ok, 4 more: a cut, slider, curve and change).

 

He probably should be at AA for at least 2-3 months but I'm generally more conservative with prospects than every team in baseball.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Good God Soriano is a circus in left field.

And at the plate.

Baseball America isn't very high on him at all, compared him to Sowers.

[Andy]

Good lord, we're going to give this guy a 70-pitch complete game if this doesn't stop.

[MWV]

Soto's AVG drops to .100.

[GlassCow]

Jesus, nice effort retards. This team is really tough to watch.

[JonJayCutler]

This is horrible. This pitcher has very hittable stuff but we threw our patience out the window after the Lee AB.

[haubrich91]

I can already see how this one's gonna end.

[A-Cal]

Soto's AVG drops to .100.

 

Soto is going to get dropped for Jason Kendall if he doesn't shape up soon.

[Guancous]

The bases were loaded in three games at the same time. Johan Santana and Justin Verlander gave up grandslams. Mike Leake didn't allow a sac fly.

A classic Cobs story.

That seems about right.

[GlassCow]

That was nearly gone. Gorz needs to settle down and not give up a hit to Ramon Hernandez.

[Ski]

Not a three pitch inning, please.

[Andy]

Theriot and Fuku trying to give the 4-5-6 guys a do-over.

[GlassCow]

Here we go again. Let's try to get a run.

[Ski]

Deja vu.

[ctcf]

Come on, Cobs.

[haubrich91]

Ugh.
