7/9 Cubs @ Marlins. 5:05 PM CSN Still dont care.

[Chris]

Botched hit & run? I have the game on no channels

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Man, I thought that was a good start to the inning and then that. :x

[otis89]

Good thing we're making Olsen work even though we have nothing to show for it so far.

[Fred Hornkohl]

It seems like Barrett has been working much deeper into the count ever since he DHed.

 

He does seem to be taking more pitches.... but he really isn't walking any more. Kind of strange.

I think I have this right - Murton is 1 for 4 with a double against Olsen. Greenberg didn't start either game against Olsen.

 

This season, Murton's 0/5 with 1 K against Olsen.

 

Greenberg has yet to face Olsen this season.

 

Where'd you get your numbers?

 

Ohhh, another O_O-Raisin Memory Showdown...

 

Can't wait to see who's right!

Len just said 0-5. I believe Len.

[Brian]

Man is Neifi just crushing the ball, he is just so unlucky it's 5 miles foul. :lol:

 

 

NEIFI WITH A FULL COUNT :shock:

[Omar]

Perez flys out. Inning over. C'mon WOOD!

[AAApittsburgh]

The bad luck continues for Neifi.

[Fred Hornkohl]

OML, Neifi swings at ball 4 who would have thunk it??

[KatJ]

on the first pitch of the game, the ump established that he is going to give this rookie the low strike

 

on the 0-1 to Lee, the ump established that he is going to give him the inside corner to righties

 

on the 0-1 to Aram, the ump established that he is going to give him the high strike

 

and on the third strike to Aram, the ump established that he is going to give him the outside strike to righties.

 

Sounds like Hollandsworth should be put back in at 1B. At least Lee would get another day of rest on the shoulder. :?

 

I still want Macias to rot on the bench, though.

[Beligol]

The bad luck continues for Neifi.

 

At least he made him throw 10 pitches....that is much preferred to the typical 1-2 pitch Cubs at bat.

[Chris]

After a quick hole Neifi does work the count to 10 pitches before getting out.

 

Neifi's now .121 for July

[KatJ]

The bad luck continues for Neifi.

 

Bad luck? Nah, I'd say, reality bites Neifi in the butt again.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

At least Neifi worked a 10 pitch at bat, even if he has nothing to show for it.

 

38 pitches for Olsen so far.

[Jon]

First pitch fastball clocked at 99 and 97 on two different guns.

[KatJ]

Come on, Kerry, whiff lil' Miggy and make him cry.

[Brian]

Wood working 97 - 98, just hopes he keeps it around the zone.

[Omar]

What was that? Were there flames coming out of the baseball when Wood just pitched it??

[Omar]

Cabera with a single.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And Wood gives up a hit on his third best pitch.

[sethuel1]

"Bad luck" is the new running joke. Baker said that Neifi's been scorching the ball and just been unlucky. there's a thread on it in Baseball Discussions.

[Omar]

double play plz!!

[Omar]

Good catch by Walker.

[Omar]

2 down. Get out .230 Mike Lowell!
