Cardinals @ Cubs Double Header

[Super Mario]

Game 2, game on.

 

[Super Mario]

LUDWICK WITH A 2 RUN JACK IN THE 1ST!

 

[craiger122003]

yeah yeah

 

[craiger122003]

Luddy does it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Super Mario]

Interesting move by Lou. Removes Marshall from the mound in the 8th, but puts him in left replacing Sori, and brings in Heilman to pitch to B.Ryan, and apparently Marshall will replace him. NEVER seen this before.

i remember hte braves doing it a few years ago, not something you see very often

i completely disagree with joe morgan's (what a shock) and apparently the umpire's interpretation of the rule about facing a batter, if you come in to the game to pitch, swithc positions to LF then back to pitcher, you should not be forcecd to face a batter the second time you pitch, you aren't a new player coming into the game and you will have played at least a full at bat, which seems to be hte purpose of the rule

Extremely interesting. Even if the Cubs lose, it's been a good game.

Reed Johnson "supposedly" made a spectacular catch but replay showed it was not a catch and the Ump didn't catch it!!! That should have scored a run or 2 for the red birds!!!

 

[yakacack]

What a BS call...way to suck at your job umps!

 

[Super Mario]

Johnson trapped that damn ball.

 

[serving4theking]

Johnson trapped that damn ball.

Agreed...The home plate ump is making up for it by calling some bad third strikes though.

 

[jjj7880]

the last 2 batters that he called out were balls. Milton was pissed!

 

[serving4theking]

Ah well, that's what we get for giving Ludwick fastballs all night long.

i remember this game. it was chris resop that they put in LF, im not sure who the LHP coming in was. but i was like what the? it was the first time i had seen this strategy used.

I can live with a 4 game split going into the ASG break.

All 3 called 3rd strikes were confirmed by K Zone so quit your whining

Are you kidding? The last batter was confirmed by K Zone, the 1st 2 were not. Get your facts straight before making a comment like that.

Johnson trapped that damn ball.

It cost me in fantasy of course. That hit would have won it for me.

 

[craiger122003]

Damn thats the last time I ever listen to Morgan I came back there were 2 outs
and I heard him say that and I saw the 3rd one my apologies

Typical Cardinals fan. And, yes, Reed Johnson did trap that ball so I guess the Baseball Gods tried to even things out.
