[Brian]

Oh great Hoye behind the plate, I remember at least one awful game he's called.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-12 (.455) when they score in the first inning.... 21-38 (.356) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Brian]

Rizzo looked like a mere mortal in that AB

[davell]

Matt: get your head out of your ass.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-13 (.618) when they score first in the game.... 10-37 (.213) when they don't

CUBS are 29-31 (.483) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 2-19 (.095) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

[Andy]

Oh great Hoye behind the plate, I remember at least one awful game he's called.

I'm forever going to remember him as Boyd because of that game. Someone misidentified him and we quickly decided he didn't deserve to be called by his real name because of how terrible a job he was doing.

[sneakypower]

good lord, Hollandsworth is just brutal in the booth

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-15 (.167) when the opponent hits at least 2 HRs.... 28-35 (.444) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Magnetic Curses]

it's [expletive] obnoxious how homegrown the braves are.

[sneakypower]

stop calling him Matty

[Epsteenie]

Garza is working so slow

[Fred Hornkohl]

Oh great Hoye behind the plate, I remember at least one awful game he's called.

 

CUBS are 8-6 (.571) with Jim Hoye behind home plate..... 442-447 (.497) with anybody else.

Believe me when I tell you..... James Hoye is not our problem.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Maybe this is just Garza's way of saying he doesn't want to be traded.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I just turned on the game and it is already 4-0. What has Garza done to kill his trade value?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS allowed 4 runs in an inning.... Tue 03 Jul 2012 (4 runs in the 6th inning) in a 10-3 loss at Atlanta

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Epsteenie]

Seriously this is a Daisuke pace right here

[Magnetic Curses]

he's going to throw 100 pitches in this inning

[nobull]

Matty has been bad every time I've seen him.

[Magnetic Curses]

they're just trying to foul them off now

[Magnetic Curses]

what the [expletive]? seriously. what the [expletive] [expletive]?

[Magnetic Curses]

i've never seen the cubs make an opposing pitcher throw 60 pitches in an inning before ever

[Irrelevant Dude]

I really hope the Cubs can find a taker for Garza, because I sure as hell don't want to give him top of the rotation money.

[Epsteenie]

44 pitch 1st inning.

[Ballgame64]

45 pitch 1st inning.

What is the over/under on pitches the Cubs make Minor throw in the 2nd? I am thinking 12.

[Epsteenie]

While we're talking over/unders what's the over/under of when Soto gets above the Mendoza line? August?
