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

Nice pitch.

[Omar]

Mitre is not a reliever...I hope we get out of this unscathed

 

He's going to have to learn because he hasn't shown enough to start.

he's shown flashes of starting brilliance

 

He's also been a poster boy for inconsistency.

 

True, but if he is going to have any success, it's going to be as a starter. Personally, I think he should (and likely will) be traded.

 

It takes an inning or so for his sinker to kick in, so he should be a starter. He would be a successful one too.

 

What team would like him??...

[ToupeeOnFire]

What I don't get is don't sinkerball pitchers normally take an inning or two to "warm up" and find their stuff? Why is Mitre pitching in the pen when his repertoire suggests that he is less than ideal for that role?

[CubsWin]

Mitre needs to go to Iowa. Get Welly, Grieve or Aardsma up here.

 

Aardsma, I say! I want to see how much we ripped off the Giants..

What does Jermaine Van Buren have to do to get called up. In AAA, he has a WHIP just under 1, an ERA just over 2, he is striking well over a batter per inning. Why does this guy not get considered?

[Omar]

And Mitre strikes em' out!!

[Flames24Rulz]

good job Serge!

 

now lets at least tie it..going to be facing Hawkins probably.

Has Wellemeyer gained some control or is he still walking the ball park? If not, no thanks.

 

Mitre gets out of trouble. A walk and a stolen base made that far too interesting.

[jjgman21]

three things

 

re: Hill's base running, to me failing to tag up on Lee's liner to left was alot more of a gaff than stumbling on the bases. for some reason he started running toward home and by the time he was back to third it was too late.

 

 

 

 

way to give Schmidt an extra inning there Dusty. brilliant.

 

 

 

 

Bill Miller is dictating this game with his umpiring.

He spilled Dusty's coffee in spring training.

[Omar]

Poor LaTroy Hawkins, getting a lot of boos on his return to Wrigley Field..

Wellemeyer is far from ideal, but more useful out of the pen than Mitre, that's for sure.

I wonder what kind of reception he's going to get.

I guess Alou is the idiot.

[illiniguy]

yes lets boo Hawkins. If anything we should be cheering that he is in the game.

[imb]

Hawk should give this game to us as repayment.

[CubsWin]

Here comes the Hawk, the mighty...

 

Never mind. :oops:

[XZero771679666304]

Poor LaTroy Hawkins, getting a lot of boos on his return to Wrigley Field..

 

He's going to mow us down.

Probably.

[TruffleShuffle]

It's almost guaranteed that Hawkins blows through the heart of our lineup.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Hawkins has actually pitched well of late.

The Cubs have announced that when Wood return it's going to be in the bullpen. I would suspect Mitre would be the man sent down since he hasn't been very effective in the pen.

[sethuel1]

96 mph and getting the low strike?

 

This does not look good.

[Blueheart05]

He's actually not a bad pitcher but I'm looking for him to cough it up here.
