[Guest]

This is a fun inning.

 

too bad Moreland is on the call.

 

I've got Len and Bob

 

Unblock-us is a beautiful thing

[haubrich91]

That's unfortunate, but fun.

[Sammy Sofa]

Still plenty of time; the Cubs will not be denied.

Was Lalli sent down when Clevenger was activated?

Yes.

[bukie]

The Cubs are 1-1 when Dempster allows at least 4 runs in a start, and 0-6 when he allows fewer.

Why does Pat take the inning off?

I feel like Coleman has been pretty decent out of the pen.

He was until you posted that.

Well, comparatively, it was a pretty low bar.

Go away.

[BeerHere]

Go away.

And miss your nuggets of wisdom? No chance.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It's not my fault you were ridiculed for posting something stupid. Stop throwing a fit and move on.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Looks Demp woke up this morning and told himself if I'm going to get another L anyway, then by George I'm going to earn this one.

No I think that's actually the reason. Maybe he doesn't take a dump everytime he goes on his break inning, but he's been doing it every game for years. Previously Judd Sirott would take over, probably because Ron couldn't handle PBP alone, and before that it was Corey Provis, and before that Andy Masur.

Marmol is going to have to throw a lot more obvious strikes before an umpire is ever going to give him something borderline.

[Friendly Confines]

ball 4 to Quentin looked like it was right down the middle. Maybe a touch high but still wayyy in the zone.

[Guest]

back to back walks. awesome.

 

he's very lucky the other two guys swung at the first pitch.

Marmol for Cashner?

But after the obnoxious bat heave it had to be a ball

Three of the four pitches to Quentin were in the zone on Gameday, and Alonso swung at the second pitch.

[bukie]

And to say he made Nick Hundley look silly would give disproportionate value to all other uses of the word silly.

[bukie]

Mather helping out the pitcher by swinging at two garbage pitches, on a day where the strike zone is about 6 inches square.
