I hate Schlitter and hate seeing his stupid face but TT is right.

 

Not Maddon's fault Schlitter came out pumping belt high fastballs.

 

When you watch Schlitter do it over and over, expecting something else today is in fact stupid.

[Guest]

As long as the game doesnt get called Im keeping the faith. This teams shown awesome resilience late in games.

 

otherwise known as having a lineup full of guys who have good plate appearances consistently and put pressure on the opposing pitcher

[SpongeWorthy]

Somebody needs to injure Schlitter. For some reason, he's Maddon's weakness.

 

Every Chicago coach has their pet who sucks. Schlitter, Rozival, Hinrich. I'm sure Fox has someone in mind already

 

jay cutler

he said fox's pet not nsbb's

[Guest]

high 97 mph fastballs are not a bad idea if you can mix it with offspeed pitches low in the zone.

[DiamondMind]

That was a hideous inning.

do what over and over? he's very much a ground ball pitcher.

[Guest]

Well the 2 HRs in 3 1/3IP coming into today for one.

[DiamondMind]

Yea, 2.25 GB/FB ratio. But it sure doesnt seem like that when it matters.

[Andy]

Ah, the first guy I would much rather have seen than Schlitter comes in

[Andy]

And promptly gives up a hit, albeit seeing-eye

And he gave up 2 HR in 56+ IP last year.

 

I know bullpen runs are frustrating, but we're better than this.

schlitter would have better outcomes if he could learn how to miss his spots in a way that wasn't a meatball over the plate

As is true with just about every pitcher.

[DiamondMind]

Gotta go to stupid work. Hope we can come back before the rain hits....go Cubs.

Don't pretend like this is hindsight. We're better than that.

Quite the opposite, I'm talking about the shrieking about Schlitter from the moment he started warming up.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Toews scored at 00:36 of the 2nd

 

Ekholm scored at 00:58 of the 2nd.

 

Blackhwaks & Nashville 2-2.

 

 

Go HAWKS !!

I don't think it's crazybuckets to ask our 9th-best reliever who is only here because of multiple injuries not be used in high-leverage situations.

[Guest]

oh also saw that even our bullpen options in the minors are getting hurt so that's sweet

[Guest]

mottes delivery is so cool looking

[Fred Hornkohl]

Saad scored at 3:38 of the 2nd.

 

Blackhawks 3, Nashville, 2

 

 

 

Go HAWKS !!

[Derwood]

Can't we all just agree: screw pitching
