Need a nice quick inning for Rusch here.

1-2-3 INNING RUSCH PLZ

[SwisherSweet]

We'll see what happens this half inning. I swear our starters are horrible when given a lead.

[Schwarber Fan]

Walker flies out to Right center

 

Due up: Quintero, Rodriguez, Taveras

*raises hand* The only person who I thought had less power was Augie Ojeda (remember him?)...well, not quite. Maybe a slight exaggeration.

Unfortunately he's not pitching to the Cubs, so good luck with that.

[jjgman21]

The hardest hit ball that inning was the deep fly out right there.

 

Yet Houston managed to score two runs.

 

Same with us.

 

well that's if you only count the liner by Barrett. I guess we won't count the line drive homerun by Walker, the smoked line drive to left center by Nomar, and the knuckling liner to center by Aramis. but you're right, besides those three the Cubs only hit one ball hard in the first inning.

It hit 2/3rds the way up the foul pole, but it wasn't a real hard hit liner... ~375-80 would be my guess.
