You should make them more often.

Good start so far. Morton once again is pitching well glad to see him get run support.

 

[element1286]

Fairly well played game by the Pirates thus far. Good work by Charlie.

Geez, that's some batting practice stuff from the Cubs reliever.

Harrison, 3B
Polanco, RF
McCutchen, CF
Sanchez, 1B
Martin, C
Marte, LF
Mercer, SS
Barmes, 2B
Liriano, P

Looks like our best defense possible for tonight, cant wait , wish it was on wgn

 

[Darkstone42]

Liriano looks like he doesn't have good control today. Pretty all over the place, and the slider Rizzo hit out was right down the heart.

This could be a rough one. Hopefully the offense can pick up the slack.

This is just like last game with Liriano with his control.

 

[Darkstone42]

I thought Liriano got that one.

HR Cutch!!!!! tie game 2-2.

 

[thedddd]

exactly what we want/need. Polanco to get on and McCutchen brings him in.

Yes indeed. Nice swing there from Polanco, and a nicer one from Cutch.

And Gaby Sanchez stole a base.

Our two steals today are from Gaby Sanchez and Russell Martin.

Liriano's day is done. Looked like an oblique to me.

 

[steelparrot]

gah we running out of pitchers

 

[thedddd]

So I missed it what happened?

So I missed it what happened?

After a pitch, Liriano never turned back around to get the ball from Martin, something seemed to be wrong with his midsection. He stretched a bit and tried to throw, but just didn't look comfortable, and he came out.

There also seemed to be a little hitch in his follow through on the pitch, like he did something wrong with his plant foot.

^ Thanks I am watching online and stepped out for a minute to comeback to see Gomez pitching.

And all I have to say is crap not another starter down.

 

[Darkstone42]

Jeanmar, how do you give up a hit to Barney? He's terrible. But if you leave a slider up that high, even Darwin Barney is going to hit it...

 

[Darkstone42]

That's a tough one for Marte. Gets on second with the hustle double, then gets picked off because Wood made a pretty good play on a ball which otherwise would have been behind him and easy to advance on.

Yeah I know the bottom of that lineup for the Cubs is super weak no excuse to give up a run to them, except for pitches like that.
