5/29 Cardinals (Ottavino) @ Cubs (Silva) 3:10 FOX

[Andy]

Silva looks real good today.

[Ballgame64]

I think Castro needs a day off. He's faced some pretty tough pitching this week and he is scuffling. Byrd starting everyday is really getting ridiculous. It is funny how Lou was willing to sit him in favor of Colvin when Byrd was hot, but when he is ice cold, Lou sends him out their everyday. Very frustrating when a young player is actually producing but doesn't get a chance.

God forbid we ever get someone who comes up and starts raking and keeps raking. And Koyie Hill never hits a ball hard, but of course when he does it's an out.

You cannot expect a 20 year old not to struggle some.

I'm not hating on Castro, just wish he'd stay hot.

I just wanna see it not impact other facets of his game. That's gonna be a big thing for him to prove himself to Lou.

[muntjack]

I'm starting to think Carlos Silva is a good pitcher. Ahem.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-15 when their pitchers average 16 pitches per inning or less.... 4-11 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Andy]

Hahahahaha 7 Ks in 3 innings.

His career high is 8 per Muskat.

I'm surprised that Ottavino has been this good, so far. I thought right about now, he'd be in some trouble.

Why the HELL ARE WE RUNNING ON MOLINA!?!!?!

[Andy]

Stop it with the [expletive] hit and runs Lou, you stupid turd.

[GlassCow]

I hate our offense.

[Careless]

#-o When was the last time anything good happened on a hit and run for us?

[Guest]

Alright, Theriot, no double play.

 

You got your wish, although I doubt you were hoping a CS would be the cause.

[TruffleShuffle]

more fantastic execution by our well-managed ballclub.

[Careless]

Alright, Theriot, no double play.

Oh, so it was your fault
