7/20 cubs (richard) @ reds (lorenzen) 6:10 pm cdt, csn

[PrimeTime]

What a surprise. Another runner on 3rd with 1 out and they [expletive] it up. Just [expletive] squeeze him in and tie it up

[Irrelevant Dude]

A smart manager would have Chapman up for Schwarber, right?

 

But we all know we aren't dealing with a smart manager here.

 

as someone else mentioned, chapman threw 44 pitches last night so maybe not

Ah, even better.

[Schwarber Fan]

What's the over/under for 9th inning warning track fly balls?

[OleMissCub]

That Champagne Lodge commercial is brutal

[Cubswin11]

Why didn't Denorfia hit over bucket helmet? I know it's RH-RH but all we needed was a flyball

[KaiserCesar]

This may be a dumb question, but why not have Denorfia instead of Herrera there?

 

Only thing I can think of is less chance of a K. Denorfia is close to 19% career against RHP. Have to think the weak contact chances for Herrera outweighh that, though.

[NotSoSober]

are we to expect soriano to be any good? i know he at one point he was

[Schwarber Fan]

As usual, home plate ump has been a joke all night, including the top of this inning against Hoover.

 

Lol @ Price using Chapman again.

[Gilby]

lol at ball one to Votto. Another tough night for the home plate umpire.

[Schwarber Fan]

Soriano = Veras.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 37-27 (.578) when they allow fewer than 4 walks.... 12-14 (.462) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Lol @ Price using Chapman again.

He may not be needed by the time the 8th is over. Soriano hasn't looked very impressive thus far.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I could see Soriano turning out to be like Jose Veras. Hopefully not.

[TruffleShuffle]

Soriano = Veras.

 

well you gave him a solid one batter before declaring that he sucks.

[Soul]

Pitchtrax just makes things worse. At least without it you can pretend umps are getting it right

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Soriano = Veras.

 

Oops. I was behind apprently.

[PrimeTime]

Sorianos stuff looks really hittable.. Welp this looks about over

[Cubswin11]

Soriano's stuff looks pretty pedestrian. Little life, no zip

[Andy]

On the bright side tonight, I'm not sure there's anything to complain about with respect to Schwarber's catching.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Is it weird that I really like the persistent PitchTrax graphic on the right side of the screen, but I absolutely hate the ESPN broadcasts with the box on the actual strikezone?

[UMFan83]

Soriano, you replaced Jaxon's roster spot, you don't have to actually replicate him.

[Cubswin11]

Even at 90-92 Soriano's stuff just looks soft

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'm so facinated by why Soriano felt the need to throw the ball to Bryant.

[Fro]

Schwarber hit Jameis Winston in the NCAA tourney and he has a better, more accurate throwing arm than Chapman

[Derwood]

let's do this
