7/19 Game Thread Reds vs. Cubs

[rockin500]

lower back strain is the initial word.

Yeah, Rob Butcher said he'll be re-evaluated tomorrow.

Cubs win 7-3. Hudson looked like he has some things to work on, but his stuff is there. A lot of hits today, but most of them did not equal runs. Big game again for Ramirez and Lee against these Reds. They are such awesome players. So its another loss to chalk up against DanO and his Reds.

Actually, Weathers had only given up 3 ER in his last 14.1 IP coming into tonight, and two of those three runs came in one outing(a 1 IP outing).

Yeah but he has given up a lot of uncredited runs lately as well. I think, if I remember correctly.

how come youre not watching it on WGN?

i tried watching an inning or two on Gameday once and it drove me crazy. though i used to "Watch" ESPN gametracker several years ago when i was in college when i didnt get any WGN/FSN.

I am taking summer classes, and the TVs(2) at the dorms were all taken.

Unless a pitcher allows an extensive number of inherited runners to score, I don't blame them too much, as they didn't allow them to get on in the first place.

Anyway, he has only given up 8 H and 2 BB in his last 14.1 IP, so he hasn't been giving up many walks or hits either. Plus, a lot of his recent games have been where he's come in for 1 full inning, so no runners have been on base when he comes in. His last two outings before tonight were 1.2 IP performances, but he only allowed 1 H total over this 3.1 IP, and 0 BB.

Oh WOW. Somehow I remember him getting smashed lately. Sorry Weathers, you are good.
