[Fred Hornkohl]

On a good note, Kerry sounds like he is bringin it tonight.

 

Kerry has brought it in every appearance out of the bullpen.

That's okay I guess.

[XZero771679666304]

I'm listening to Len and Bob.

 

I don't have that option, unfortunately.

[emoore]

That was too close. Flyout to the track.

[otis89]

K/9 of 15.43?

 

Ridiculous. :shock:

Is Kerry throwing a reverse slider?

 

used to be called a 'screwball', now is known as a 'cut fastball'. reverse torque/ spin as a normal curve-ball...

[KatJ]

Yeah. If Wood stays in the pen next year, it seems a waste of starter-quality talent. However, this full-throttle, all-out thing for an inning or two seems to work for him... and keeps the arm serviceable in the process.

[Schwarber Fan]

"How many times have you seen a player make a great defensive play and then come back and get a hit?"

 

Not enough, come on Lawton's replacement, Jerry Hairston

 

 

Fixed

TOO close.

Very. Lawton caught it just before he hit the wall. That said, it was a Coors pop-up.

[NYF]

nice spot for Hairston, Dusty...

[Notorious]

Not Gerut, Lawton :)

 

Don't forget Gerut's webgem!! That saved us!

[XZero771679666304]

Colorado announcers still drooling over Kerry's stuff. :lol:

[Notorious]

Dlee about to go deep!

[KatJ]

Colorado announcers still drooling over Kerry's stuff. :lol:

 

They should. :-) Had Prior lasted another inning, they would have seen Prior and Wood back to back. If that isn't an NL hitter's nightmare, I don't know what is. :-)

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 48-22 when they score 4 runs or more, 11-40 when they don't

CUBS are 43-7 when they give up 3 runs or less, 16-55 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[OldHappyCubFan]

Fuentes is throwing heat.

[NYF]

nice hustle by D-Lee...

In the pregame, Kerry said he hasn't used anything other than a fastball and slider out of the 'pen and didn't plan on it. The closest thing Wood threw before was a change, but his change never did anything like that, I don't think.
