National Small Sample Overreaction Week. Always fun. -
Wings tie it with 48 seconds left, and it looks like the Hawks will be the 6 seed.
-
Because 2011-2012 is over. Move on. Get past it.
-
I feel like I need some kind of Lee Elia style rant.
-
i'm going to say that second one is broken Yeah, that #5 was the last pitch to Byrd. That was the one that looked messed up.
-
Because the HRs the Cubs would have hit wouldn't have counted, I suppose?
-
Let's not be any more obtuse than normal, Kyle.
-
Three positives: - Dempster was awesome, better than Strasburg. - Stewart killed a ball, and scored the Cubs' only run. - Soriano was making solid contact all game. Three negatives: - Baserunning ran the Cubs into at least two outs, which may have been valuable in a one-run game. - Wood had trouble finding the plate, compounded by the umpire not giving borderline calls. - Barney was nigh useless offensively.
-
Ian Stewart killed one in the 9th. He just needed to kill it about a foot farther.
-
Because it's very inaccurate? It crossed at the knees. It's been very good today, just weird for that last AB.
-
Why does pitch f/x show strike 3 called to Byrd nearly hitting the plate?
-
Oh, I guess it's time for the hilarious overreaction folks to blow up the game thread. Good times.
-
Not even a bad pitch by Marmol, just a blooper.
-
At least it's not like Soriano was hitting the ball solidly or anything.
-
GameDay just kind of shrugged its shoulders at whatever Marmol threw for his second pitch.
-
Also a strike.
-
In the zone.
-
108 pitches for Dempster, now done for the day. Wood coming in to face Zimmerman.
-
That was a good splitter.
-
Demp's fastball is consistently in the high 80's now. Thank goodness for the wind today.
-
Baker never touched it, so it's not an error...
-
1-0 game on a cold Opening Day after Demp struggled past 90 pitches last year? It's just playing with fire, a bit.
-
Strasburg is done, Dempster isn't.
-
Wood?
-
First pitch out for Ramos, 92 pitches through 7 for Demp. Borderline enough that I wouldn't be surprised if Sveum trots him back out for the 8th, since Strasburg is set to lead off.
