6/4 CUBS (Marquis) @ Brewers (Bush) 7:05 CSN

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Man, there were 5 guys around the mound and it just drops right in... that was so awesome.

[98navigator]

That's on Izturis, he needs to take that.

 

everybody froze because Marquis called for the play. Luckily, it didn't hurt him.

GO CRAZY FOLKS, GO CRAZY!!!

 

I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW!!!!!!!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That's on Izturis, he needs to take that.

 

Izturis was nowhere near the play.

 

Again, his fault. Pop-ups in the middle of the infield are the SS's responsibility, he needs to be right there if he's not calling off everyone to make the play.

ya that would be a problem, a pop up in the middle of everyone in the infield is the short stops ball, if Izturis doesnt catch it, let alone get near the play, thats on him.

I blame Jacque.

[Prior4CyYoung]

well at least we got out of the inning I laughed when they asked if arod was in the building found it funny at least.

[98navigator]

was it just a dropped pop up?

 

an untouched popup on the infield.

[Schwarber Fan]

That's on Izturis, he needs to take that.

 

I blame Jacque.

 

I blame Dusty

I'm pretty sure Izzy was on his way to guard his pot-of-gold.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

an untouched popup on the infield.

 

with 5 different players within a yard of it.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Izzy needs to have a clubhouse meeting with Z.

[weis21]

That's on Izturis, he needs to take that.

 

I blame Jacque.

 

seconded. he was probably trying to figure out where the warning track was.

[PrimeTime]

OMG...

"of all the things that have gone wrong for the cubs this year, defense has not been one of them." -- brewers announcer.

 

it hasn't? how the hell do you know? theres more to defense than fielding percentages....point in case as i type

 

ps- cannot be an error.

 

Uhhh...

 

Cubs are 7th in the majors (4th in the NL) in team defensive efficiency. So, in general, if a ball is hit in play, we are very likely to make the play compared to other teams.

[inari]

I was all set to give Jacque Jones a hug too. Damn you Jenkins.

[98navigator]

almost Jacque.

 

Jenkins didn't need to jump

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Geoff Jenkins??????????

[RichHillIsABeast]

See, Jacque, that's how you catch balls near the wall.

[rynefan]

JOKE:

 

How many Cubs does it take to catch a baseball?

 

PUNCHLINE: Apparently more than 5.

Speaking of warning track. ANOTHER "almost HR" for the cubs. They lead the league I'm sure.

[Flames24Rulz]

Looks like Brett Favre can play defense as well.

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice to see Jacque not pull that though

[E.J.]

Someone needs to tell Barrett it's okay to let pitches 3 feet off the outside corner go, and it's even worse when you roll over on that pitch.

how many times have we complained about barrets defense? about jacques arm? about jacques defense? about murton's defense in right? there not terrible, but they aren't great by any means.

 

just stupid plays all around. grant me that.
