Keith Hernandez seriously just mixed up 1989 with 2003... he honest to God thought the Alou/Bartman thing was 89.

 

Wow.

My 1st day off this season and get to catch a WGN game. Is Hernandez the other voice I'm hearing?

they had a chance to really push Harvey but they've been so aggressive he's right back at a comfortable pitch count

Keith Hernandez seriously just mixed up 1989 with 2003... he honest to God thought the Alou/Bartman thing was 89.

 

Wow.

 

Maybe he's having a stroke?

Alcohol's a hell of a drug.

Jim Deshaies. Hernandez is in the Mets' booth

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-9 (.625) when they get a quality start.... 2-14 (.125) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[jersey cubs fan]

Cohen and Hernandez going off on Kingman and how it "seemed that all his homeruns were hit when the Mets were up by 7 or down by 7."

OK, thanks

[Fred Hornkohl]

Valdespin walked

[Smack]

I love 8 pitch walks.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS held the opponents to 0 BBs in a game.... Fri 17 Aug 2012 (0 BBs) in a 7-3 loss at Cincinnati

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[jersey cubs fan]

These announcers have talked all game about what they perceive to be odd defensive alignments by the Cubs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murphy flied out to left center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wright popped out to second base

[Crack Wilson]

Barney had ideas there.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I think Castro made the right call there. Way too risky to let that drop.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-12 (.455) when the opponent GIDPs at least once.... 7-11 (.389) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Davis singled to center field, Valdespin to third

[Crack Wilson]

I think Castro made the right call there. Way too risky to let that drop.

I don't know...they got the runner cold on the force. May get 2.

You'd have several seconds to corral the ball and get it the 5 feet to second, so that part is pretty certain.

 

The important thing is that Barney was intentionally fielding it on the bounce. You're not allowed to intentionally drop the ball to get a DP, IIRC.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS were held to 0 BBs in a game.... Thu 25 Apr 2013 in a 4-3 win at Miami

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castro grounded out to first, 3-1
