5/15: Cubs (Maholm) @ Cards (Lohse) 12:45 CDT CSN

STOP LETTING YADIER MOLINA BEAT YOU CUBS. Too bad we don't have Ted Lilly to steamroll his ass again.

 

Games like this ruin my day, even if I didn't see so much as a single pitch.

Barney almost had that. Damn

I haven't seen the play, but a friend said it would have been a routine grounder if Barney wasn't playing up the middle. I know there have been a lot of plays in the Cubs favor, but when the opposing player hits away from the shift, it seems to be a scoring play. Personally, I have a hard time believing Molina pulls that ball that much, especially late in the game with runners on base.

 

Anyway, based on in-game decisions by Sveum, I sure hope the front office can pick young talent better than they picked the manager.

The shifts have saved the Cubs a lot more runs than they've cost them. Complain about all the outs freely given up, not the ones he's actually saved through efficient defense and baserunning.

Considering how far outside that pitch was, either Dolis badly missed his spot or Castillo was dumb for calling for an outside pitch.

Kerry Wood just needs to hang it up and start being the Cubs mascot. This is getting embarrassing. What a bad way to go out. Hopefully he can figure it out, but dammit it's frustrating to watch.

A 15-21 team losing a well-contested game that you didn't watch shouldnt ruin your day that much. Maybe momentarily being upset.

I said a lot of plays have went in the Cubs favor which means I understand it is working.

Then you shouldn't think they picked a manager poorly.

Wood hasn't had many innings this year. His problems have stemmed from location - not stuff. This is at least my interpretation. I'm far from an expert, but he is still hitting 95 and still has movement on his pitches to be an above average relieved. If he can't regain his control that is one thing, but I'm not ready to give up on him yet.
