07/25 St. L (Carpenter) @ CUBS (Dempster) 7:05 CDT, ESPN

[SpongeWorthy]

Frankling hitting Starlin was the best pitch of the inning.

[Keener98]

Right down the middle my God

[genbar]

Swing at breaking balls, look at fastballs. Backwards Byrd

[TruffleShuffle]

Well that sucked. And the amount of Cardinals fans at the park is sickening.

 

wonder if they parked their double-wides outside the city and took the train in

[Old Style]

Swing the soapdropping bat!

[Ballgame64]

I wish Lou would start giving the take sign with the bases loaded. That was a ridiculous at bat by Byrd. Take a fastball right down the middle after swinging at two horrible pitches to start the at bat.

Why is Schlitter still in?

[Magnetic Curses]

franklin's gotta be at 60 pitches

[Tryptamine]

Never noticed that pretty much every young pitcher on the Cubs has the half grown beard thing going on other than Cash.

[Keener98]

Why is Schlitter still in?

 

Who else to you prefer from our craptastic relievers left? Berg? Russel? Cashners not available, its crap or crap at this point

[Sammy Sofa]

franklin's gotta be at 60 pitches

 

I think he threw just over 40.

[CubColtPacer]

Why is Schlitter still in?

 

Probably since the pitcher spot is due up 1st next inning and the Cardinals are at the bottom of the lineup (and did they say Cashner was unavailable tonight?) Risking Schlitter for another inning is probably necessary here instead of using another pitcher for just 1 inning.

[Tryptamine]

Big surprise.

[Keener98]

[expletive]!

[Butterscup1679666578]

solid

[cubsfan5150]

Ugg... Shlitter bomb

[Magnetic Curses]

i'm not getting sucked into caring this year

[Keener98]

Screw it just plunk him Schlitter

[Sammy Sofa]

Soto's gonna win it.

[Magnetic Curses]

in that inning

[inari]

I hate Cardinals.

[SpongeWorthy]

Well you can't throw that many belt high fastballs down the middle and get away with it for too long.

[Tryptamine]

Good start.
