how many pitches for Duke? let's get into the pen asap.

[Flames24Rulz]

nope perfect game.

 

We can't hit these young pitchers at all.

[Derwood]

Cubs formula is easy:

 

If opposing pitcher is a veteran (preferably with HOF credentials) the Cubs will put 15 runs on the board

 

If opposing pitcher is a rookie (preferably with 5 or fewer major leagu starts) they Cubs will get 1 hit

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS own the 3rd & 4th innings.... outscoring the opponents 42-35 and 62-41 respectively. This game ain't over yet, boys !!

[Blueheart05]

Ah christ. Duke is going to own us today, isn't he?

 

Maybe not. We'll see how good he is a couple of times through the order...

The Cubs do well against guys like Willis, Clemens, etc. who you think would be tough, but can't hit youg guys (like most of Milwaukee's staff)
