6/13 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Dusty Baker's Nats (Scherzer) 6:05 PM CT CSN/ESPN/670

That might be the best battle we'll see today

 

Good on Dexter to push that pitch count up buddy! These are more than moral victories!

[David]

jesus christ why would you swing there

[Aaron_Kennelly]

At least he made him throw 8 pitches there...

[weis21]

this new Independence Day movie looks like the worst movie of all time.

Since the previous ID4?

maybe. i don't think i've ever seen a preview for another ID movie but have not really kept up with the Independence movie franchise, fortunately.

[weis21]

hard hit ball. PROGRESS!

[PackLandVA]

I don't like the way Scherzer strides off the mound to his left after a strikeout.

[UMFan83]

Is it bad that I'm celebrating a ground out like it was a base hit?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

lol Shields gives up a bomb to begin his second start.

[PackLandVA]

Side note - James Shields second pitch of the game is deposited into the left field bleachers. LOL!!

[UMFan83]

19 ER in his last 4.2 IP for Shields

Make that 20 in 5

[BigSlick]

I wonder how you feel if your in Hendricks' position here. Like, you might be facing against someone thats totally and completely unhittable, and the best you can do is keep it somewhat close.

[coldsteel]

Need to pitch Scherzer REAL IN next AB. Also bunt.

[weis21]

guy can't even strike anyone out anymore. cubs will score soon.

[BigSlick]

Rizzo missed a pretty good pitch to hit on 2-0. I mean, I dunno, its not looking good.

 

EDIT: And now we're playing completely into their hands by making keeping his pitch count low.

I didn't know Clint Hurdle had an NSB account.

[weis21]

lol OMG

[NotSoSober]

well if he's going to get that call, we're getting no hit

[Careless]

lol OMG

what, the called strike that was over the batter's box?

[BigSlick]

Line outs are definitely the worst outs

[weis21]

lol OMG

what, the called strike that was over the batter's box?

yeah, though it could have also been applicable to the lineout, too.

The original movie was the major movie debut for Will Smith at his jiggiest worst.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I just want a hit.

That movie is terrific if for no other reason than Pullman's speech.

[BigSlick]

I mean, its never good to commit defensive misplays, but you really can't commit them today
