Really quick inning for Z there.
-
And Dusty Baker is nowhere to be found. Amazing!
-
I hate it when they don't listen to me.
-
Come on, Lee. Pretend you're Soriano here.
-
The last Cub I saw get THIS hot was when Sammy would get hot every summer for about 3 weeks.
-
Soriano drinks Bay's milkshake. He drinks it up!
-
SORIANO!!! 3-1 CUBS!
-
Dammit Z.
-
Tie game!
-
Good AB by Reed here.
-
In most cases, yes, but Z is one of the few pitchers who isn't an automatic out.
-
3-0 to Reed.

I hate that distinction so much. Baseball stats would be so much better off if we stopped arbitrarily dividing between "earned" and "unearned" and "hits" and "errors." I think there's a use for those stats, though. If there's a runner at 2nd with 2 out, and the pitcher throws a routine ground ball, and the fielder airmails the throw to first and the runner scores, that isn't the pitcher's fault. Theres a use for RBI as well, but it doesn't mean it should be a mainstream and important stat The fact that you brought up a marginal and rare occurrence to defend it makes me want to get rid of errors all the more I don't disagree that there are flaws in how earned and unearned runs are kept, but I'm not in favor of getting rid of them alltogether.

Single to center. Soto to 3rd.
-
Geovany Soto.

The ball was terrified of Soto and tried its hardest to get away. Bixler RBI single.
-
Runner to 2nd on a wild pitch. EDIT: It was ruled a passed ball. Paulino flies to right for the 2nd out.
-
Doug Alphabet walks on 4 straight. Z doesn't have his A stuff today.
-
Nady pops out to SS. 1 out.
-
Aram grounds to 2nd to end the inning.
-
The Pirates have a horrible defense. An Arambomb would be nice here.
-
Bixler bobbles. Lee safe at 1st.
-
Riot GIDP. 1-6-3. That's Lee's job!
-
I hate it when the Cubs play at noon on Saturday and I have to work at 3. Yeah, it sucks knowing you'll have to leave in the middle of it. Maybe they'll be up 10-0 so it wont be like your missing much. Except Z's perfect game... If that's the case I may have to have some "car trouble" and be late.
