4th

Len Kasper is such a twit. I wish the Cubs would find a good announcer to pair with Brenly.

Also, does Harold Reynolds have to stay 50 feet away from Hazel Mae at all times?

Rockies 4th:

Spillbourghs flies out on the first pitch. Soto already out of the game.

Helton flies out to Sori. Two down.

Silva's been ahead of almost every batter today - good stuff there. Tulo pokes a single through to left.

Smith up. Quickly down 0-2. Len Kasper is now worried about what the L and W stand for on Tulo's eyeblack. Be still, my heart. Silva throws a good cutback sinker, but somehow doesn't get the call. Great pitch there, froze Smith. Silva hangs a slider and Smith singles again. He's 2-2. Tough break for Silva on that 1-2 pitch.

First and 3rd, 2 down. Olivo up. Good curve from Silva, 0-2. Olivo way ahead of that one. Good changeup from Silva, pop-up to Baker. Good pitch.

Cubs 4th:

Rami gets plunked and is replaced by Tracy as a precaution. Byrd promptly grounds into a double play.

Sori smacks one into left-center for a single. One on, two down.

Baker up. Baker gets a good pitch to hit on 2-0 but fouls it off. Baker walks. Koyie Hill, who replaced Geo, is now up.

Hill is a solid backup. He hit really well at first when Soto went down, but tailed off as the year progressed. I'm not sure he calls as good a game as Henry Blanco did, but he's a good backup and gives you good at-bats. Hill down 0-2 after a really questionable strike call - seemed really low. Hill grounds out.
