Last time the CUBS got 12 hits in a single game......

 

Fri 17 June vs. Yankees (lost 6-9)

Wed 15 June vs. Florida (lost 5-15)

[Chris]

If Murton keeps playing like that we'll have prospects begging for Q & A sessions at NSBB!

Why is Z hitting?

 

Dusty you were doing so well up to this point. :wall:

 

Macias is tired, and no one else is allowed to pinch hit before he does per Dusty's rules.

[Jon]

104 pitches with a comfortable lead...

 

Yeesh.

[Chris]

Don't forget that Matt's Q & A is now listed in chats. Feel free to link others to it in an effort to recruit more posters!

[otis89]

Sportsline says Z flied out his first two times up, but it doesn't show either ball getting out of the infield. :lol:

[E.J.]

I'm sure he'll give us a shot out during his after-game interview.

[Brian]

I think it is stupid to leave Z in, he's been struglling all night, and when he falls apart it usually the 7th inning....

[Schwarber Fan]

Murton better start tomorrow....

 

too bad he didnt have that HR b4, he'd be a triple shy of the cycle

[badger1679666666]

Amidst the man-crushes for Matt Murton, myself included, can anyone watching the game tell me if Cedeno's liner was hit hard? Just want to know how Ronny looks at the plate.

[marc_foust]

Dusty are you trying to see how many arms will fall of our pitchers this year or what?! Maybe he just lost count.

[otis89]

And right after you post this he strikes out Pierre on a foul tip.

Ronny cracked that ball to center. Edmonds wouldn't have had it.

Z has been the second strongest workhorse behind Livan Hernandez. Livan hasn't had any arm troubles. I doubt Z will either. I think Z knows when he gets tired.

[texascub]

I don't know why but the Jamaican boblsed thing just popped into my head except with Murton inserted:

 

Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its Murton time!! (don't ask how it popped into my head all of the sudden because I still don't know)

[E.J.]

yeah, he hit it hard. Pierre had to go back hard and reach for it near the warning track.

 

Cedeno has a good approach at the plate. You can tell he's trying to use all parts of the field. He also had an 11-pitch at-bat tonight. He's definitely got a better approach than Neifi.

[sethuel1]

is it just me or is the CLTV volume all over the place?

Would Patterson have gotten it? :P

I'd fall over :stickman:

We all know it doesnt matter, there is no reason for Z to be throwing now. I thought Dusty's color in the pictures managing book would have taught him that much. When your team is up five runs and your offense is clicking, and your best pitcher has thrown over 105 pitches you walk out and ask for the ball.

[E.J.]

Stupid Hurricane. Z can't even pitch because he's getting blown off the pitcher's mound.

[Jon]

Come on, Layne. Why did you not call that?

[sherwood921]

I thought we were supposed to be the Windy City? :wink:
