09/21 Milwaukee (Wolf) @ CUBS (Garza) 1:20 CDT, WGN TV

The only good that I see is Hendry and at least some of his cronies finally being shown the door.

 

Castro followed up a great rookie year with another nice performance.

 

Garza.

 

Yeah, he's been pretty good. But certainly not anything better than expected or terrific. He's pitched well enough but his terrible fielding and plate appearances are going to hurt his results.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, nevermind then.

[Yeti]

booo!!!

Lame-ass Brewers pitched around Castro with a runner on second. Edited September 21, 2011 by BeerHere

Lame-ass Brewers pitched around Castro with a runner on so.

at least he'll get one more chance for #200 at home

[jersey cubs fan]

hehe, nyjer lost it

[jersey cubs fan]

I've been watching for about 3 innings and think the Cubs hitters have averaged 1.1 pitchers per PA in that time.

[jersey cubs fan]

that was crushed

[jersey cubs fan]

castro up again

[bukie]

Castro's K/BB ratio this month is really encouraging.

[Sammy Sofa]

Garza basically dick-slapping Jersey in the face today. MOTIVATE HIM, GOONEY.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Garzas looking nasty today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 29-4 when they score 6 runs or more.... 39-83 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

HAH! Quade pinch hit for his #4 hitter with runners in scoring position - brought in DeWitt to pinch hit for Baker against a righty. He promptly hit into a DP. Unless Baker is hurt this was a terrible move. You won't be missed Quade.

Today's BB was intentional.

Easy, spaz.

[Fred Hornkohl]

First time the CUBS have made double digit hits in their last 9 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

RANDY BUSH WILL PROBABLY GIVE HIM a 3 YEAR DEAL WHEN HE GETS HIRED

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 50-9 when they lead at the end of the 7th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!

It's the last week in a meaningless season. Baker's only the #4 hitter because of all the call-ups playing today, so why not bring in DeWitt for an AB or two?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS hit 5 doubles in a game.... Mon 12 Sep 2011 (5 2b) in a 12-8 win at Cincinnati

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 9-1 when their starter pitches 7-1/3 innings or more.... 57-85 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[bukie]

Matt Garza is basically David Price with worse fielding this year. Plus he has to make plate appearances, which hurts the overall WAR as well.

[BeerHere]

Looks like we need someone to get on in the bottom of the 8th for Castro to get one more plate appearance. If that happens I expect to see the Brewers IBB or pitch around him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS opponents hit 3 GIDPs in a game.... Sun 24 Apr 2011 (3 GIDP) in a 7-3 loss to Los Angeles at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!
