7/20 Cubs (Wood) @ Reds (Harang), 6:10pm CSN

[badger1679666666]

Wood not with the best control that inning. Wasn't locating his fastball effectively. Hopefully it's the 2003 Wood, where if you don't get to him by the 3rd inning, games over.

[Coach C]

Why can't our pitchers ever get through the first 3 innings without giving up a homer?!?!

 

Are you referring to our starting pitchers who have only given up a total of 15 ER in the last 9 games?

 

:?:

 

I'm not saying they are multiple run homers...just saying it seems like they have been giving up a lot of solo homers in the first few innings. But it may just be my short memory.

 

Hey at least they're solo HRs... keeping guys off the basepaths otherwise.

 

I'll agree to that. If I recall correctly, whenever an opponent hits a solo HR, that's all about they got until like the 7th inning or so. By that time, we'd already have at least a 6-7 run lead.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wasn't it just 5 days ago..... Wood fell behind 1-0 on a solo HR, and then the CUBS scored 11 times for an 11-1 laugher ??

[E.J.]

Someone please explain what just happened there. Why is Aramis still batting??

[Flames24Rulz]

ARam swings at ball 4..

[badger1679666666]

Why do I have a bad feeling Harang is going to own us tonight?

But they weren't facing the "Great Aaron Harang"!!

[gerby23]

Anybody got a play by play? What is going on?

Thanks

[Transmogrified Tiger]

What was the deal with Ramirez getting another chance? That he blows by swinging at ball 4.

[Fred Hornkohl]

There was no play.... time had been called.

[satxcubfan]

I sure hope our offense gets a boost soon. A bit bland so far.

[Flames24Rulz]

looked like the ump may have thought the ball was foul and bounced fair.

[Blueheart05]

Not really sure. The ump checked out the mound. Mabe he thought the pitcher didnt make contact with the rubber before delivering the pitch. Len and Bob are puzzledas well.

Holla sucks. Where's Murton?

[TruffleShuffle]

Is there some little-known rule in the Cubs' locker room that they have to swing at every 2-0 pitch?

[marc_foust]

Holla sucks. Where's Murton?

 

As has been stated before, if murton faces a righty he will explode

[cubsfaninfla]

Holla sucks. Where's Murton?

 

Stuck on the bench thanks to Dustbag..... :x

[satxcubfan]

BTW... who's getting sick of these stupid Geico commercials? ](*,)

Well, of course. That explains it. "Cy Harang shuts out CUBS 1-0"

 

[sigh]

[AAApittsburgh]

Yes. Green light, dude. Gotta be aggressive.

[Flames24Rulz]

cmon Woody, keep the freakin ball down.

 

another reason that hopefully Dunn joins us as we leave for St. Louis.

[satxcubfan]

UGH! Solo shot by Dunn.. 2-0

[Blueheart05]

The trend continues...

[badger1679666666]

Stuck on the bench thanks to Dusty..... :x

 

You really hate Holla don't you?
