[Guest]

Is this game on WGN? Reply quickly so I can run home! When I checked the paper in the morning they said it was MLBNetwork.

 

Yes

[Hairyducked Idiot]

LaHair's BABIP marches onwards toward .600.

[haubrich91]

That was such a good AB by LaHair.

Walking Byrd to get to Samardzija, how foolish.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Byrd walked (intentionally)

[Smack]

Why the [expletive] would you walk Marlon Byrd on purpose? I don't care who's coming up to bat. At least we turned the lineup over.

Couldn't you time one of those intentional walk pitches pretty well for a steal of home? Right handed batter so the catcher is already off the plate, soft tosses, pitcher up next with 2 outs. Seems like a pretty solid time to give that a try.

[jersey cubs fan]

That 1st strike to Shark was even more outside than the earlier strike 3 to Barney, but ball 2 to Dejesus was a fastball that looked like more of a strike than both of those.

With a faster guy than Stewart, sure. But it's a huge risk. You now start the inning with leadoff man, but risk starting the next inning with the 8 hitter.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Okay, that was pretty cool. Stewart bunts on Ramirez, so Ramirez bunts on him.
