4/19 - Cubs (Wells) @ Mets (Niese) 6:10 PM CSN+/ESPN/720

[Roast]

My god, the camera work has been awful. Zoom out a bit so you can see the outfielders running after the damn ball.

[Derwood]

How many games are they wearing 42 for?

[Little Slide Rooter]

With a name like Ike Davis, you have no business being white.

[Sammys Boombox]

Heyward remix hopefully doesn't happen here.

[haubrich91]

Ike Davis' MLB Debut and he's wearing #42.

[Roast]

Wonder if he would have scored on the groundout...

 

Uh, most definitely not. A man on third would not score on a hard hit ball to the third basemen.

 

I don't think you can definitely say he would or wouldn't. If he's going on contact and the 3rd baseman is playing back he probably would score. Even with the ball hit hard, if the 3rd baseman is playing back his mindset is to get the out at third, not at home.

I can say with almost 100% certainty that he wouldn't have scored. That ball was hit pretty hard and even if he was going on contact, which would have been kind of silly in the first place, he would have been thrown out.

[Roast]

Well, that worked out a little bit better than Heyward I guess.

[haubrich91]

I bet we're gonna face Strasburg in his MLB Debut and he'll no-hit us.

[haubrich91]

Whew, nice double play.

[Roast]

Nice play, Ramirez.

[Sammys Boombox]

That was nice, especially after the broken bat single.

[haubrich91]

Marlon is making solid contact tonight.

[OleMissCub]

Marlon is making solid contact tonight.

 

he seems to do that most nights

[Roast]

LOL Jason Marquis

[inari]

Argh.

[Sammys Boombox]

Dang. He was having a good AB too, Baker that is.

[Roast]

Oh come on. Give me a break.

[Cubswin11]

Strike???????

[Schwarber Fan]

WOW

 

that was literally the worst strike call of all time

[TruffleShuffle]

wow that was an awful call, it was outside the zone and the pitcher missed his spot by a foot and a half.

[webjim25]

LOL Jason Marquis

 

 

He was a league average pitcher for the Cubs right? Helped them win 2 division titles.

[Old Style]

That called third strike was BS.

[erik316wttn]

I know Ron is under the weather, but I find it humorous that his hatred for the Mets runs so deep that he refuses to even go to New York when the Cubs play them.

But Geo probably would have taken a different approach to that AB had Sori been on 3rd. He would have been looking to lift one to the OF for the easy RBI.

12 games in and we already definitively the cObs
