Here comes the top of the order... -
Ughhh where was ball 3? Over the middle thats where it was.
-
Eh...not that I think Lee is the player he was in 2005, but he's not as bad as he's shown. I say at least give him a month to work himself out of it. He's earned that with his 5 seasons on the Cubs.
-
Either way, if it was close it would have probably been a makeup call for the one last inning.
-
I'm fairly confident that will be asked Every day, pal, every day. Next question. Look, I would have PH for Hoff too, but at the same time Hoff strikes out more (i think) and I still don't trust him at all against breaking pitches, as he's had trouble handling them in his big league ABs
-
Trust me...he looked awesome. One of the runs that scored was unearned. The other was your typical solo HR that Rich allows. Other than that, the only other trouble he got in was due to another Theriot error that eventually loaded the bases. He has mixing between 97-91 on his fastballs, and locating them well. It was the Harden of August 08.
-
Due up for the Brewers in the 9th: Kendall Pinch Hitter (Lamb?) Weeks
-
Phew. What a tense game! If we end up on top, I will say it was a very enjoyable game.
-
Aaron Miles pitches. Oh wait. Guzman and Patton are all that is left right? Oof
-
Well, that botched DP makes up for the miraculous run saving kick by Harden earlier in the game. At least that's how I choose to look at it.
-
Second straight leadoff walk...now it gets really dicey I would prefer guz.
-
I would have batted miles but squeezed the run home. In a dp situation with a batter I dont trust to get a sac fly it makes sense.
-
Ummm yeah 6IP 3H 1ER 2BB 10K AWESOME
-
Well I think we can all say today has been freaking awesome so far win or lose. Milton Bradley got his first hit as a Cub...and it was a long HR Harden has been freaking dominant, throwing in the high 90s and striking out 10 in less than 6 innings so far Our weak hitting backup catcher who we literally have no offensive expectations towards hit a huge 2 run HR.
-
fatty worries me here.
-
I think we can all agree that the decision to take Hill over Bako has already been justified even if Koyie goes 0 for the rest of the season.
-
GEOVANY WHO???? [/is taken out back and beaten to a bloody pulp and left for dead]
-
Yeah, Theriot is doing a good job of replacing Lee's production last year. Mostly singles, a few doubles for effect, and absolutely no home runs. KOYIE MF HILL!!!!!
-
How many of our base runners have come with 0 on and 2 outs?
-
I'm definitely not in midseason form...I thought that was gone off the bat :(
-
I always confused Brian Shouse and Seth McClung too. Whoops, I thought he was a righty too, but I clicked on his profile and saw L/R. I guess he hits lefty and throws righty.
-
Yes...one more inning...if we can't pitch him more than 83 pitches its going to be a long season for him... Well the only reason I ask is because he had less work than most other pitchers, so its not like he's in midseason form.
-
At 84 pitches...do you risk him coming out for another inning?
-
Its a good thing to get runners on, the more often you do that as a team, the more likely it is you break thru eventually. I know I know, just the frustration talking.
-
I'm trying to be level headed with this team this year.... But when they get 9 base runners in 5 innings and force the pitcher to throw 96 pitches in that time frame and only score one run, it gets frustrating. If they are going to lose, I'd rather them get beat 9-3 so I can think stuff like "well we aren't going to win every day"
