Matt Garza drilled. SO glad it wasn't on tv.

 

Holy God, am I glad I didn't see that live.
Can you imagine the heart attack you woulda had, seeing New Cubs Stud Pitcher Matt Garza get hit by a screaming line drive off Jeff Francouer?
In the lower back/ribs area? 
And then, "falling to his knees in pain"?  

I'da rolled off the couch and dry heaved a couple fur balls on the floor.

What year was it when Sandberg got hit on the hand in Spring Ball?
Early 90' somethin?
Back before baseball was sooo... publicized.
If you weren't reading the Sports Page fine print, you didn't know a game was even being televised.
I wasn't home. We were shooting a commercial, and it was the weekend and I went to a restaurant for lunch at some beachy place, and they had a bar upstairs that looked at the ocean. They had a tv up there, and I heard...the Cubs coming on!
Had no idea.
A gift.
I hauled upstairs and before I could even settle in, Sandberg's hand was busted.

Had to leave my burger.

Anyway, apparently nothing bad happened to Garza except probably a bruise.

SO glad I didn't see it.

And of course, that said, the Cubs are on tomorrow.

Can't wait.

    I really am not interested in the wesneski head case experience again any time soon. Give me smyly over wesneski. Hell give me keegan Thompson over wesneski every day of the week. His stuff isn’t as good but at least he doesn’t melt down mentally every time something goes mildly awry.

    they might not want to start the clock on brown and give us wesn.  hopefully it won't come to that.

    madrigal ground rule double!

    he blows a play and hits a double.  we're getting bizarro madrigal.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Close up video shows Steele saying to the Trainer "no it just cramped up"

    Hope so

    Ben Brown and not Smyly please

  • crunch (view)

    agreed and agreed.

    he walked off on his own, but we may not find out for a few days how this will impact the club.

  • hellfrozeover (view)

    Looked like a hamstring rather than a knee, not sure if that’s better or worse. 

  • crunch (view)

    steele leaves the game with a hamstring or knee injury.  sigh.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and a madrigal "non-error" leads to a sac fly for a tie game.  nice.

    having a ball clank off your glove, but still getting it count as a hit because it was hit hard is a nice stats gift.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    For sure. This lineup isn’t exactly stacked as is, and subbing out a Cooper or even a Tauchman for Madrigal won’t do it any favors.

    the ESPN bottom graphic taking up 1/8th of the screen sucks.

    i only use ESPN during baseball season and i'm forced to watch a baseball broadcast designed to be broadcast in sports bars and betting parlors where the news/scores of other games is as important as what you're actually tuned in to watch.
