9/23 Astros (Wandy) vs. Cubs (Glendon), 2:20pm, WGN

gah...wuertz coming in. i was hoping for hill.

 

why further wreck Hill's confidence at this point?

 

who's to say he'd pitch poorly? can't just not play him for the rest of the year to make sure his feelings don't get hurt. and i'd rather see him out there today than have him be asked to throw three innings after sitting for a month.

 

Fair enough. Dusty is more likely to allow Wuertz to let the go-ahead run on base with 0 outs, THEN put Hill in, just to make sure there is as much pressure on him as possible.

he dropped a flyball right to him.

 

By "right to him" I presume you mean that he was able to get there? He should've caught it, but he did cover some ground.

He had his glove on it. He did cover some ground, but I think Macias makes that catch.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

nice catch Corey!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

If I wasn't watching the game and saw that the ball was hit right to him and dropped in my mind I would see a ball hit where he moves maybe 2-3 steps and is camped out under it the entire flight of the ball. He still should've caught it.

This game is growing boring. BOOO!

[illiniguy]

he didnt have dusty baker and a horrible bullpen to screw him out of wins. Weak attempt at humor.

[Brian]

i'm slowly beginning to like bob novoa.

[series65cubsfan]
