How the hell did Anderson get through his first two starts so unscathed?

Is it bad if I actually hoped Anderson was injured so we could put somebody on the mound who could throw strikes?

Oh hey look Anderson did his thing and induced a GIDP. Crisis averted :sweatdrop:

It's kind of worrying how terrible Anderson's control has been to start the season, it looks like he can barely manage throwing a ball down middle.

Anybody watching TB @ BAL?

Ubaldo just gave up a double that was challenged because it looked like it might have landed foul. The umps reviewed it and the ruling stood - fair - but in the meantime Seth Smith, in RF, found the impact crater of the ball and was pointing it out to the umps after (as was Buck). Some guy in the crowd, who you can hear really really well, because no one is at the game, is yelling "LOOK AT THE DIVOT!! LOOK AT THE DIVOT!!".

Edit: Also Ubaldo's night is done after walking the bases loaded twice in one inning

Anderson fields his position without shattering like so much stage glass!

Also I'm making GBS threads on him but after looking his 4.15 ERA is actually good for third best of the Cubs starters so :v:

I think that's why the cubs brought this jerk on. At least if Pat Hughes getting all excited about sweet gloves is any indication.

Also Grainger has your back pals.

Hey Reds I know you're getting Thames'd - I can sympathize - but if you're going to lose it'd be nice if you could at least light up Garza and his smug prick face along the way.

"Hey Anderson we're not paying you to be a strikeout pitcher, how about you actually challenge in the zone and rely on your groundball stuff + the Cubs defense to get outs?"

"Oh yeah, right."
