Man MLB umps are such a freaking disgrace.

edit: Nevermind. MLB gameday lied to me for a second

I won't even be mad if we lose this game. It's as much of a throwaway game as there is with our former #5 pitcher called up for a spot start against an All Star. As long as we get three out of five I'll be happy.

Yeah, but there's still no one else, so he kind of had to pitch.

Agreed.  But my expectations were low.  We weren’t going to get the league leading brewers type game today.    Woodruff needs to make them pay second game though

[kevinisaname]

Dagnabit. Another run there would have felt great.

[adambr2]

Plenty of traffic today, but not much to show for it.

So you've said. Repeatedly. What was the alternative?

There wasn’t.

They still are a disgrace.

Wow, no whining about Yeli? 

[kevinisaname]

I've liked Patrick's changeup. I do not like his slider. He's only thrown one good one. The rest he's spiked way before the plate.

[kevinisaname]

As he throws a good one to Happ, lol.

[yfinn6]

Man if he can get through 6 innings today you'd have to feel pretty good about that. 

[kevinisaname]

I hope Miller is only up if Chad gets in trouble. We should be trying to throw him six, I'd think.

[kevinisaname]

Patrick did a nice job with the past two innings.

81 pitches ... can he go another inning - bottom of the order in the 6th for CHI.

[kevinisaname]

Get another one here and I'd start to feel pretty good.

Kept them in the game - would be awesome to get one more inning out of Patrick....also would be good to keep chipping at this lead and get it into the territory of the Cubs needing to use primary relievers to try and win this game.

[AKCheesehead]

I definitely want 6 out of Patrick.  After that, I'd let Tobias have the last 2 if we're still behind.  

[Zad Fnark]

Give me a break...

Make them dig it out of the ivy.

[willie key]

I’d be fine if Patrick goes 7 no matter the pitch count.  He’s probably not going to be on big league club anymore this year.   

[Zad Fnark]

Dup post.  Got wonky on me.

[MattK]

Boy don't get behind Vaughn 2-0 as a lefty.  His SLG may be over 1500 for that situation.

[Zad Fnark]

'Nother dup

[kevinisaname]

Bah, disappointing AB by Collins. Gotta get him over somehow.

[kevinisaname]

Brice picks him up!

[kevinisaname]

Got Boyd out after five and a third. I'll take that any day.
