5/16 Phllies (Kendrick) @ Cubs (Garza) 7 pm CT CSN

[Andy]

Oh so close to being 4 back and it was taken away from us. Alas.

 

Win, Cubs.

[Fast Freddie Bynum]

There's just something I like about this Cubs team. Let's get on a roll! I mean get above .500 and then some roll.

[El Duderino]

Garza was really rusty last time, hopefully he's back to normal.

Garza dominated the Phils last time, let's hope he does it again.

[pitchcs]

Yeah, you have to think Garza will have better command than last time out. I'm really hoping for a win tonight and a solid game by Volstad tomorrow. This is not the Phillies team of old and if the starting staff can hold them down there's a decent chance of a sweep IMO.

[rawaction]

Kendrick has a WHIP of 2. Strong change he throws 7 shutout innings tonight.

[haubrich91]

Castillo to DL, Maine up. DeWitt to Triple-A.

 

Play ball!

[CincyCubsFan]

What the hell was that?

 

He still beat 4-3 to the bag.

[pitchcs]

Jesus Garza, what is this? He throws the ball to first like a scared raptor.

 

 

Or like this

Actually, that throw is too high for him.

Good job. I [expletive] hate Pence and Pierre.

[Rizzo Smash]

Should have had Starlin lay down a bunt.

[Schwarber Fan]

go away JP

[Rizzo Smash]

Carlos Ruiz needs to go away.

[Schwarber Fan]

Should've walked Galves

[Guest]

Should've walked Galves

 

No, they shouldn't have.

[Rizzo Smash]

Should've walked Galves

In hindsight yes but you want the pitcher leading off the inning if you get Galvis who isn't that scary

[El Duderino]

Should've walked Galves

 

galvis is a blind squirrel. [expletive] happens.

[haubrich91]

Seriously, he's awful fielding the ball. It's getting worse.

[CincyCubsFan]

Holy [expletive]. Garza was channelling Jacque jones there.

[PrimeTime]

With the past 2 throws Garza made, why wouldn't you bunt there?

[haubrich91]

Nice double play. Let's get this man some runs.

[El Duderino]

So it is possible for Carlos Ruiz to not get a hit.

[Andy]

I love when we take advantage of noodle arms.
