not a good pitch by Rusch, but for those p'ing and moaning about him, the Astros have hit in incredibly good luck tonight. 3 hard hit balls, 5 runs for them. in the mean time, the Cubs have hit about 7 or 8 hard and only have three to show for it.

 

bump.

 

please observe the game instead of using the boxscore to assess how Glendon Rusch has pitched.

 

Yeah, 10 hits and 5 runs in 3+ innings certainly isn't Glendon's fault. I want results!

 

what part about "please observe the game instead of using the boxscore to assess how Glendon Rusch has pitched" did you not understand?

 

He pitched poorly. Poor control, then left a hanger up to some bum. I don't know how many people will believe that 5 runs in 3 2/3 innings is anything but a horrible pitching performance.

 

ya know, I'm not pleased with the results or apologizing for the Cubs, especially after the events that have transpired since I started writing this, but call a spade a spade here. people were talking about him like he pitched like Wellemeyer was. I'm disappointed too, but don't let it cloud your observational abilities. those that recoginze luck is a huge part of this game could recognize that it wasn't really a horrible pitching performance.

 

ok fine. I have to go through each damn AB to make the point here don't I.

 

first inning

Tavarez - seeing eye hit

Biggio - seeing eye hit

Berkman - hard hit ball, GIDP

Ensberg - seeing eye infield hit

Lane - five hopper up the middle

Everrett - bloop hit to right.

Burke - FO to center. in all honesty, I wasn't in the room and didn't see it.

 

5 fluke hits, 2 runs

 

second inning

catcher - k

pitcher - k

Tavarez - bail out swing single to center

Biggio - hard hit ball to Rusch

 

third inning

Berkman - bloop hit

Ensberg - single to center on a very good pitch

Lane - K

Everett - pop up

Burke - bad pitch, hanging curve flied for a HR. not a HR in 27 or 30 ML parks

catcher - K

 

1 hard hit ball, 1 ok hit ball, 1 fluke hit, 3 runs

 

fourth inning

pitcher - pop up

Taverez - chopper off the plate

Biggio - walk

AT THIS POINT EVERYONE WATCHING KNOWS HE'S GASSED AND SHOULD BE OUT OF THE GAME

Ensberg - liner to the wall

Ensberg - walk

 

1 hard hit ball, 1 fluke hit, 2 walks.

 

as for missing badly, 92 pitches, 61 strikes

just as some began to get there hopes up, here comes reality...

 

I loathe ensberg.

 

I loathe the entire Astros lineup. Especially when they put up the AAA squad and still smash us.
