7/18 Cubs (Williams) @ Reds (Claussen) 6:10 pm, CSN

[Brian]

there goes the QS

[Coach C]

Shoot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

 

Holly has been hitting real well lately against RH pitching so the platoon is working. When they get to a stretch of seeing more righties it will be interesting to see what happens but for now I think they shouldn't change anything.

:shock:

[Blueheart05]

He pitched well just ran out of gas at the end.

[TruffleShuffle]

You people better not have jinxed him by talking about the 9th quality start in a row!

 

You did jinx him! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That wasn't good.

[Blueheart05]

Let's go G-Unit!

[Brian]

Grrr, It's alwasy the 7th inning, so many of our pitchers have breezed for 6 and than they fall apart in the 7th :(

:shock:

Thanks for the ridiculously small sample size, Fred.

 

He has an OPS of .821 for the month of July...

[Brian]

that was huge getting Casey there.

[Blueheart05]

Say what you want about his bat but Neifi makes some great defensive plays late in the game.

Good Job Rusch. Please bring in Ohman next inning.

[Blueheart05]

Good Job Rusch. Please bring in Ohman next inning.

 

I'm not sure Glendon did much. That ball was ticketed for center but Neifi snagged it

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It's still not a bad start by Williams. He just ran out of gas.

I'm sorry. I guess I was thrown off track by the descriptors "realy well" and "lately".

Thanks, I'm in Madison, WI and have no eyes for this game.

Why pick the 7/9 - 7/17 time period?

 

If you use all of July his BA is .321, OBP is 394, SLG is .571 against RH pitching.

 

That seems pretty good to me.

[Brian]

pssst this baseball not golf Jerry!

[brinoch]

Williams had Aurilia out on strike three, but the ump missed a picture perfect strike on the outside half of the plate. It really was pretty clearly a strike. Terrible call, and it cost the Cubs two runs.

Both highly subjective terms. If you seek to prove someone wrong, you are going to have to do it on their subjective terms, not yours. :wink:

[Brian]

LOL, Brenly says Hairston only hits it on the ground to the left side, and goes to the right :lol:

[badger1679666666]

Single by JH. Let's get another insurance run.

[Illini Iceman]

I wouldn't complain about another run or two here.

[Coach C]

Come on D-Lee!

 

Bring them all home!
