9/9 Cubs (Trachsel) @ Pirates (Morris) 12:35:CSN/WGN

[BCVM22]

Jacque's misplay is now the difference in the game.

What exactly happened? I got home and the score was 6-2.

 

He utterly misplayed a liner hit straight to him in center; he broke one way and the ball went the other. The ball got past him, all the way to the wall, 3-run triple for Freddy Sanchez. If he makes the play cleanly (which would not at all have been impossible), it's a 4-3 game right now.

It doesn't help that Jacque is slumping with the bat again.

[abuck1220]

wow, that was a terrible ab.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ramirez struck out swinging

[UMFan83]

wow, that was a terrible ab.

 

Well to his credit it is the 9th inning with 2 outs and the pitcher is on deck so he pretty much has to try to hit a HR here

[IowaCubsFan]

Would it be greedy to ask for Murton to hit a 2-run HR here?

Might as well see if Pie can get hot with the bat. That way we're at least guaranteed to get good defense.

[Schwarber Fan]

Murton grounds out to SS

Apparently so.

[Soul]

Welcome to 2nd place COBS.

 

Thank God for football season.

What exactly happened? I got home and the score was 6-2.

Jones started the wrong direction on a ball to center, then dove and it got by him for a base-clearing triple with the runner thrown out at home going for an inside the park home run... although replays showed that his foot got in before the tag.

So was it catchable? If he didn't run the wrong way, would it have been caught?

And the fact the Trashel couldnt buy an out vs. one of the worst lineups ive ever seen didnt even factor into it?

[UK1679666180]

If he plays it right, he catches it.

 

If Pie is in CF, that ball is caught.

That moves Jones to right and then we lose Cliff Floyd's power bat. I'm not sure this team can survive that loss.

[Mizzou]

Here's Marshall. Hopefully he'll be the starter in five days with Trachsel being the long man.

[BCVM22]

So was it catchable? If he didn't run the wrong way, would it have been caught?

 

Absolutely.

he did botch it, but trachsel shouldn't be giving up hard-hit balls like that on an 0-2 count. But then again we all (except for Jim) know Trachsel sucks.

[Careless]

How has Pitt scored the most runs since August first, anyway?

Indeed.

oh good sean marshall is apparently healthy, that makes me feel really good about trachsel getting the last two starts

Yes and yes.

So Marshall wasn't hurt but got 10 days off? Meh.

[UMFan83]

I'm telling you, there was some deadarm issues with Marshall. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Gotta have those veterans down the stretch, dude.
