Game Thread: 8/7 Champs @ Chubbs

Is it time to release Tomlinson? He's gone hitless in his last three at-bats.

His career has completely nose-dived.

He hasnt had a hit since his second career game.

Bryant is a huge dude, and very tall. He handled that play better than I thought he would. I doubt he'll be able to stick there though, as he slows down.

Will Clark, master of lipreading.

This is what's bugging me. Lester is getting the outside corner to righties, but Vogey isn't. That''s usually the other way around.

44% chance after Hunters groundout.

That series was great.....Mark Grace went to my high school (approx 10 years before me), so everyone was rooting for the Cubs, except me. Lol

I'm not able to watch the game but am watching a pitch tracker. The few pitches I've seen seems to indicate Lester is getting the calls Vogelsong isn't. Those watching the game, is this true, or just the skewed result of a small sample size?

Per FG, only 2 missed calls by the ump so far. Both Vogelsong; one ball called a strike and one strike called a ball.

Maybe my eyes are lying, but I feel like FG missed a few pitches. I feel like Lester has been off the plate more. I'll look at the site I use after the game.

This could be it for Vogey. JA is getting warm, and 3 lefties coming up.

 

[BroncoInCALI]

Man....with Huddy, Vogey and Cain (sometimes), when the wheels fall off, they go flying off quickly.

Hopefully Affeldt can find a way out of this.

Good thing we pulled Tron for JA there....

 

[tzill]

13% chance now....bordering on a shitshow.

Would you have left him in?

 

[tzill]

Would you have left him in?

Feels like deck chairs on the Titanic. I don't think it mattered.

 

[tzill]

Second consecutive PQS of zero for that staff.....

 

[SFGRTB]

That's the one that hurts.

 

[SFGRTB]

What's up with catchers who are batting around .200 this road trip getting clutch RBI's?

 

[tzill]

apparently, Chicago is Native American for "shitshow."

Lucky if we don't get swept now.

Get 'em tomorrow. BIC will be happy I'm out.

 

[SFGRTB]

Whaddya know. Aoki, who has good numbers versus Lester, gets a hit in his first AB.

And then Pagan GIDP on a 2-1 pitch
