4/25 Cubs (Garza) vs Rockies (Rogers) 7:05 CSN

[SouthSideRyan]

Is there anyway to bottle up April-May Kosuke and keep it around all season?

 

If only he could replicate his 778 May OPS throughout his career.

[Sammy Sofa]

When did Fukudome morph into Ichiro with walks?

 

20 hits

19 singles

10 walks

5 Ks

 

The sad thing is I've heard a few different radio hosts/callers complain that his numbers are "soft."

 

And of course, that he's "only good in April" and that he's "way/vastly/significantly/etc. overpaid."

 

What on earth does that even mean? Are they imaginary hits, or something?

 

That since he's not hitting for much power so far it's like his walks and hits somehow aren't as impressive. Even though he's mostly been leading off.

 

I don't know, sports radio is just so dumb.

It's like most Cubs fans think anything he does after the first 6 weeks must be some kind of elaborate ruse.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Come on Garza. Big couple innings with the rain on its way.

[TruffleShuffle]

this team is so solid defensively.

[SouthSideRyan]

We need to pull Garza's little ass

Just turned the game on, looking at yahoo's gamecast, it seems as if Garza is pitching good. 4 [expletive] errors already? Can anyone do me a quick recap of what the hell has gone down these first 5 innings

[Bote McBoteface]

You'd think they would have figured out by now that the 5th inning on WGN radio is a disaster. I had no idea what was even going on most of the time.

Also, it's pretty sad that Jeff Baker is hitting 4th, no matter how well he's hit this year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Byrd grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

Soriano grounded out to third, 5-3

It seems like every time I turn the radio on, it is during the 5th inning. What exactly does Pat do during the 5th inning?

Pat simply hates 5/3 bank and refuses to shill for them.
