Hang a curve, Sean.

Damn you Soriano

[GammonsPocketTweets]

Leave it to [expletive] Soriano to kill a rally. [expletive] bum

[Guest]

A hot Soriano crushes the fourth pitch about 400 feet.

[Schwarber Fan]

More terrible managing by Svuem. Hairston should have hit there. Would rather have him vs RHP than Schierholtz vs. LHP. Guess it doesn't matter when Soriano swings at pitches that were never strikes.

sooner or later our RISP fortunes have to change, right?

I wonder how Epstein has liked his indoctrination to Cubs probability the last two years.

He's getting paid well, I'm sure he's cool.

[Little Slide Rooter]

The Chicago Cubs bullpen has been designated for assignment.

[Schwarber Fan]

Who wants to bet Gregg gets shelled here since he isn't in a save spot?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Fake rally in progress!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This would be an epic fake rally if our spirits weren't already crushed and there was anybody left paying attention.

QUIT PLAYIN' GAMES WITH MY HEART

Shallow lineout to CF/diving catch?

[sneakypower]

this is just cruel

[Guest]

Please tell me we have anybody to pinch hit for Barney

I was thinking out at home on a misjudged WP/PB, but that works.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I don't think so, because we're playing with 5 IFs, right,?

[ConstableRabbit]

typical.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

0-for-5 with 2 GIDPs and that K, Barney's net WPA for this game has to be epic.

-0.453. Darn near half a win in one game.

 

The leverage index on his final PA was 10.79. I don't think I've seen one that high before. That might be the theoretical max, I guess.

[Schwarber Fan]

I challenge Nuts&Gum or anyone else to tell me with a straight face that what just happened happens to any team other than the Cubs.

 

You just can't.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That was a delightful little fake rally.
