Series Thread: Cubs at Pirates

Yeah no way humanly possible Jason Hammel could strike out that many batters without a little help.

Anytime Pedro takes something off his throws to first, they sail on him.

I have the same problem, actually. There's a little hitch in the middle of my throw when I take something off of it, a hesitation, and I lose my release point. I wonder if Pedro has the same problem.

One of the reasons I always threw sidearm in the infield. No chance of loss of accuracy. Only loaded up the gun when necessary. Routine plays always sidearm.

Marte really needs to figure out what is going on in the game, no excuse getting picked off by being lazy and not paying attention.

Terrible umpire strikes again, good lord.

Terrible umpire strikes again, good lord.

Yup, didn't look like a strike in real time, didn't look like a strike on the monitor. And Polanco knew it.

Well, that rain came out of nowhere.

 

[Darkstone42]

Raise it!

 

[Darkstone42]

This could be a tough one, but we need to take this series from the Cubs.

Maybe we can make 2 hold up.

Man, Volquez was great in jams tonight.

 

[thedddd]

I would never have thought Volquez would be pitching this good still. I seriously thought he would have been DFA'ed by now.

 

[steelparrot]

His offspeed stuff has a lot of movement on it.

 

[thedddd]

at least they got 7 in for it to count!

 

[thedddd]

If they call it, the play won't matter but I am still curious how the McCutchen call at third wasn't overturned? I know McCutchen wasn't upset with the call you could tell he was upset with himself for getting caught.

 

[Darkstone42]

And we're back!

 

[Darkstone42]

It's almost unfair how good Watson is.
