7/25 Giants (Schmidt) vs. Cubs (Hill) 7:05 PM CSN

[Crash]

I wish the fan had kept the ball. Throwing balls back is one of the stupidest traditions in baseball.

 

Not at Wrigley it isn't. Not at most ball parks in fact.

 

I don't care where it is. If a fan wants to keep a homerun ball the other fans shouldn't try to pressure or threaten him to throw it back.

Aramis = Manny

 

Fielding and Running

 

Come on now. Dont say things you cant take back :P

Then dont go to Wrigley. Every place has its traditions and pressures.

This team is a joke. Where's Ken Williams when you need him?

[Brian]

The no BB is good, but his pitch count isn't good.

[sethuel1]

Consider it payment. You get to watch a game in the greatest ballpark in the world in exchange for having to throw back ~50% of the home run balls hit there.

[Omar]

Hill - 6 innings?

[Brian]

The no BB is good, but his pitch count isn't good.

 

And I jinx it :(

[Blueheart05]

Walk to Cruz

 

2 on, 2 outs

Please tell me this is sarcasm.

Just because it has gone on for a long time doesn't make it acceptable behavior.

Jinx. :shock:

[ZZ Thorn]

I'm noticing that Hill has a curve he likes to throw now and then. Of course, I have a very discerning baseball mind.

define tradition. I don't think the Bleacher Bums have been doing that more than 10-12 years now.

[Omar]

strike 3. inning over.

Boo hoo. Seriously, lighten up.

[Coach C]

Hill PC is 79.

 

Ouch, that's alot.

They probably haven't been drinking heavily in the outfield for more than the last few years either.

[Outshined_One]

At least he got out of it.

[Blueheart05]

79 pitches for Hill

[Jon]

Was that a 30-pitch inning?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Was that a 30-pitch inning?

 

 

......yeah.

They have. I remember them throwing HR balls back in 89.

who cares what other people in Wrigley say/think? if you want the ball, keep it. if you want to throw it back in the spirit of Wrigley, go for it. that man made the decision...he certainly looks old enough to be accountable for his own actions/emotions.
