Highest OBP in the NL. Hitting 8th.

[Little Slide Rooter]

catcher bats 8th dude. Lets just be greatful the he seems to have realized that Soto an Hill are not a platoon.

[MWV]

Had I even a modicum of self-respect, I would be ignoring this game. Go Cubs.

[TruffleShuffle]

i don't recall lou being this incompetent in 2007-08. maybe the good players just masked his lousy managing or maybe he's just become senile in the last 3 years.

[MWV]

Lou seems obsessed with "balance", be it L/R stuff or having good hitters at the top and bottom of his lineup. I think he overthinks in this respect. Lineup construction is not some shadowy, black art. Just bunch up good OBP/SLG at the top/middle of the order.

[RedFlash]

The Cubs have allow the Pirates to score 18 first inning runs during their the 7 game losing streak. So maybe the Cubs can get a minor win, by not allowing a friggin first inning run to the Pirates.

[MWV]

Lilly forgot to spot the bucs the customary 3 runs. I'm sure he'll remember later.

[Derwood]

Bud Selig and his ridiculous blackout rules have saved me from the temptation of watching this game today

[JoshiQ]

Darn you.

[Derwood]

Milledge hit that single on a pitch around his eyes. it wasn't a meatball

[Sosa21MVP]

So have the bleacher fans thrown trash on the field yet this season? Today feels like a day that will happen.

 

Getting swept twice by the Pirates, lol.

[Careless]

Good thing the Blackhawks game starts soon

I don't think people care enough to do that is year.

[C.C.]

terrible call

[muntjack]

Perhaps the worst strike call i've ever seen.

[RedFlash]

Strike 2 or strike 3 on, I presume you are talking about Soto? Because strike 2 was an absolute BS strike.

[muntjack]

Strike 2 was one of the worst I've seen. Strike 3 was straight out of Naked Gun.

Ok. The umpire purely guess on strike two.

[J.R.]

.

[coldsteel]

I think I'll just put the Kars For Kids commercial on auto-repeat for the remainder of the game.

[JoshiQ]

Man, this game is moving fast.

[J.R.]

TAKE A [expletive] PITCH
