He's had a lot of deep counts.

Contreras will throw 64 pitches in an inning if you let him.

[Flames24Rulz]

wow that was bad.

[cheapseats]

Blame Barrett for not making contact, but why in the world do you hit and run with your cleanup hitter?

[Irrelevant Dude]

6 pitches again...

[YearofDaCubs]

ANOTHER 6 PITCH INNING!!!!!!!!

[E.J.]

Another 6-pitch inning for Contreras. This is just not acceptable.

[soccer10k]

Do you think the Sox walk ARam next inning?

[Drew Doughty]

why are we hit and running with Barrett?

[Roast]

well that was ugly.

[Outshined_One]

Jose Contreras could go 18 innings at this rate.

[CubfaninCA]

stupid move by baker.

 

barrett would have hit into a double play however.

Blame Barrett for not making contact, but why in the world do you hit and run with your cleanup hitter?

 

Dusty is reaching for straws because of this inept offense...

[Butterscup1679666578]

My two least favorite things in baseball (seriously, its not just because of this inning):

 

1. The Hit and Run

2. When hitters pull an outside pitch

 

 

Leave it to the Cubs to accomplish both.
