Doh.

[110percent]

we'll take them any way we can get them.. nice.

[Fred Hornkohl]

The whole offense has looked pretty anemic, except for Murton, over the last 10 games......

Murton's OBP is .611 in the last 10? Yeah, that should go in the 8-hole. Good call.

[jjgman21]

he need a couple more guys in the lineup to try to pull this guy. Cintron may doze off here.

[jjgman21]

strike two to Aram and ball two to Clayton were the exact same pitch. same speed, same location, same movement. exact same pitch.

[Jon]

Uh, not a great pitchout right there, Rich.

[jjgman21]

ummmmm.....

 

nice play Todd.

[Jon]

There's the DP. Looks like he can go back out there for the 6th now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

That was just a bizarre inning.

Yeah... there was the 10 pitch inning we were looking for.

[back2backjax]

When he's in the stretch and throwing a fastball, he's using a slide step. When he's throwing a curve, his leg kicks up higher. Check it out next time a runner is on. Hopefully Rothschild is saying something to him during this half inning.

[jjgman21]

deadest game thread ever.

[Jon]

Neifi's SLG % is happy.

[XZero771679666304]

deadest game thread ever.

 

Go back to the losing streak. Those were short.

[Iceblink]

Give Matt something to hit...

[oldcubsfan]

The Neifi haters are certainly amusing. My friends in the Cubs organization think it is the funniest thing they have read.

[Sarcastic]

Nobody say it. Just don't.

[XZero771679666304]

I'm sure.

[Jon]

Not the pitch to go after in that situation.

[Outshined_One]

Rich Hill helping his own cause. :lol:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Matt will never get any pitches to hit in the 8th spot ! :wink:

Yeah - worked out the same, but a grounder to the right side was called for.

 

Run scores!
