Stupid f***ing pitch selection. No reason to throw an 0-2 fastball down the cock. QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:36 AM) is this gun fast? it has vasquez hitting 96 97... I thought he topped off around 95 It's 3-4 mph fast.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:35 AM) This batter almost scares me more as Vaz has the tendency to let down. Our pitchers have stepped it up recently, but it seems like they've been giving up a ton of 2 out runs.

Great pitch. Gotta get Lamb out.

Everything over the heart of the plate to Everett. Vazquez in danger of allowing another run this inning.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:26 AM) Our bottom of the lineup up now, which makes me feel strangely good. Yep, they've been swinging better than the middle of our order over the past few games. Oswalt really has his fastball going tonight.

We're late on Oswalt's fastball tonight.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) Just curious, doesn't belong here but does anyone know how the Cubs rotation stacks up next weekend vs. the White Sox? Enquiring minds want to know. My initial calculation was Marshall, Maddux, and Zambrano.

Good inning by Vazquez.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:16 AM) 1 out. Get after it Vazquez, no more of these 25 pitch innings. Can you please stop throwing curveballs to Preston Wilson. There's the pitch he needed to throw on the 2-2 pitch in the first inning.

Ok...stop with the curve balls to Preston.

One of the better fastballs I've seen from Vazquez this year.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:13 AM) thome was 1-1 yesterday with two walks. Thanks...I missed the game, and thought no one really did anything until the 7th besides Pods.

Is Thome hitless this series vs the Astros? It's nice to know we've won this series with him and Dye struggling.

I liked the way Thome looked vs Oswalt in the 1st inning.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:06 AM) There you go. One of Podsednik's best AB's of the year, vs. a tough pitcher too. 10 pitches there. Sox hitters need to do more of that. Got one run back there. He can be so much more effective if he just learns to foul off tough pitches. My biggest complaint about him has always been that he takes too many called 3rd strikes. Both of his big hits this series have been on inside fastballs with 2 strikes. That's great to see.

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:07 AM) I don't know if this has been discussed... but what the hell was cora doing sending pauly on Tavaras's throw... doesn't he read the scouting reports? last year he almost lead the majors in outfield assists. That's PK's decision likely.

Great AB by Pods!!! He fought off the inside fastball that would have been strike 3.

The chances of a K looking are extreme.

Cintron taking strikes, and swinging at balls. Time for Pods to get a flare.

Nice bloop double for Mackowiak.

Very nice catch by Cintron.

QUOTE(beautox @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) how is it that ESPN's radar gun works but everyone one elses doesnt? It's not...it's too fast.

Isn't that like the 3rd time this year where PK has been thrown out in a similar situation?

Has Dye hit a ball solid in the last 5 games? He was due for a bad stretch.

That's just f***ing stupid by PK. Taveras is known for having a great arm in CF.
