5/7 Reds (Arroyo) @ Cubs (Coleman) 12:10 PM CST, FOX TV

[CubmanPi]

Cubs wanted to make sure the pitcher's spot gets to lead off. I missed the deal with Castro - is he available off the bench today? Might be a good time to switch him in if so.

Not a fan of the hit & run, but that one didn't upset me much with 7, 8, 9 due up

I think it's just a day off.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Heisey walked

[NotSoSober]

Where was that pitch? And wow at that stat

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hanigan blooped a single to right field, Heisey to third

[NotSoSober]

Pull him now, please

 

Edit: Great game by Coleman, probably not wise to let him come out for the 7th though

Wood in (9th) to pitch for the CUBS

[illiniguy]

Quade is terrible at knowing when his pitcher is done.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lewis, pinch hitting for Valaika, grounded into a FC, 6-4, Hanigan out at second, Heisey scored

I don't think Coleman pitched any different in the 7th than in the other 6. He gave up a walk on a close pitch and then gave up a bloop single.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Arroyo sacrificed, 1-4, Lewis to second

Sorry mean to say, Quade is terrible at not knowing when he needs to go to the actual strength of the team the 7, 8, 9 guys when he has a lead.

That's probably true. 2 of the 3 pitched 3 innings yesterday though so you're in a little trouble tomorrow if they have to go 3 more innings today.

Stubbs singled to center field, Lewis scored

DeWitt grounded out to short, 6-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Colvin grounded out to first, 3-1

[CubColtPacer]

Colvin is fouling a lot of pitches off this season. He's making better contact but he's not putting many more balls in play.
