Can you do something about that sig? It's obnoxious.

[rawaction]

He's doing this on purpose!!!!!

[UMFan83]

It seems like Neil Walker is always doing something against us.

Career line against the Cubs:

.330 .378 .596 .974 6 HR, 22 RBI

 

(that line doesn't include the HR just now, but the total number of HR and RBIs does)

Was giving me fits, but seems to be working now.

The Cubs should stake him to a huge lead and then pull him with 2 out in the 5th. No W for you Benidict Arnold.

[Guest]

Just saw the Rizzo bomb. Does he ever get a hit without 2 strikes?

[C.C.]

Back to giving me fits again.

WTF happened with Clevenger there?

[Theo]

WTF happened with Clevenger there?

? Gamecast for me has him walking to lead off the inning, did he get picked off?

S Clevenger caught stealing second, pitcher to shortstop to first to second.

 

Not sure why he'd have been running.

he tried to do what rizzo did yesterday, steal a base on the pitcher as he's still going into the stretch. The assumption was he wouldn't bother looking, but they had to realize the Cubs plan. The pitcher stepped off and then threw to 2nd as he got caught in a rundown - or pickle if you prefer.

WTF happened with Clevenger there?

Sounds like he took off running like Rizzo and LaHair have done recently but instead of delivering the pitch, Correia stepped off and threw to the shortstop creating a rundown. But I didn't see it, just going by the scoring

"S Clevenger caught stealing second, pitcher to shortstop to first to second"

len hesitated on the HR call and for a good reason, it looked like fan interference at first.

 

on review it has to be called a HR.

 

dejesus with 2 hard hit balls so far today

[ManCrushOnNomar]

Gameday still showing a double. How's it look?

[UMFan83]

It looks like a HR to me but I'm not sure if the umps will think its conclusive

[Theo]

Are they reviewing it?

[jersey cubs fan]

Are they reviewing it?

 

they did, and they called it a double. I'm not sure how anybody could think that would not have been a HR.

[Epsteenie]

Terrible. Guy didn't even lean over the fence. Clear HR

[Theo]

I'm about to go Hawk Harrelson now.

[UMFan83]

And its a "double"

 

Can they at least kick those idiot fans out? That should be mandatory when a fan interferes with a ball.
