Time for career grand slam number two for JJ!

[wisconsinfan47]

Yuck.

[iluvlamp]

Great at bat JJ..

[Team Canada]

JJ is really scuffling right now.

 

But at least we have the lead now..

[JoeH33]

ugh

[dogs with bees in their mo]

I swear to god, every time Daron says he "feels one", we hit into a double play. Shut up!!

[UeckerAddict]

You have to get at least one more there. Those are the situations that come back to bite you.

I don't know why Damian didn't score there.

Why run with your slowest runner when there are no out?

 

Can't believe the intentional walk around Weeks to pitch to JJ worked.

[jloos19]

Man, I really wanted to break it open there, especially with DD scuffling on the mound. Here's to another quick half of the inning by Doug!

[valpocrewsader]

Double-plays are gonna happen, but man, Miller staying put on that chopper up the middle simply should not happen. Gave that run away.

[UeckerAddict]

I think your question got answered.

[Riebes24]

Intentionally walking Rickie Weeks was, at best, incredibly bizarre.

And how often does Daron say "(insert Brewer pitcher name here) has held opposing batters to 2 for 31 with RISP" and next pitch the guy gets a hit.

 

Who cares if I'm superstitious! Knock it off Daron!

While James, a oportunistic and clutch hitter, is what Hardy strives to be, Jerry often rears his ugly head early in the season. Jerry is a lazy hitter who commonly grounds into double plays at the worst possible moments.. I hate Jerry.

[wisconsinfan47]

DD is settling down...6 down in order now.

[JoeH33]

Well so far so good this inning for Davis. Looks like he may finally be settling down.

I'd take my chances with JJ hitting with the bases loaded and one out than having Miller run on a chopper to the infield.

[JET15]

That's 8 in a row for DD. Can he be settling down?

[bsglorydays]

Bonds just got semi-robbed by Juan Pierre in CF. Pierre had his glove about 6 inches above the wall. It didn't look like a real tough play, but it probably would have been #714 if the Cubs had chosen not to use a CF today.

I wouldn't go that far. The only reason I was surprised is because Rickie strikes out a lot. Otherwise you've got a ground ball pitcher on the mound and a hitter in Hardy who seems to hit a pop up or ground ball whenever he doesn't get a hit. Good move by Bochy, IMO.

[JoeH33]

Apparently Doug was listening to us, cuz that 8 pitch inning was just what the Dr. ordered.

[Lil Dummy]

The reason Miller didn't score is that he got a lousy jump. If he gets off right, Sveum isn't shy about sending guys, we know that.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Oh and on Miller's baserunning decision....it was a tough play because it was a comebacker that went right over the pitcher's glove. If he was going on contact and the pitcher snags it, we're all whining about how stupid the "run on contact" play is because he would have been out by a mile.

 

Bottom line is Hardy didn't get the job done. No excuse in that situation...you've got to find a way to get that run in. So if we're blaming anyone, I'm blaming JJ.

[iluvlamp]

Well, go Cubbies CF..Deny Barroid...to me that's good
