05/17 NY Mets (Harvey) @ CUBS (Jackson) 1:20 CDT, WGN TV

[Andy]

Just when I want to start liking Edwin, he gives up a game-changing hit to the other team's pitcher.

[Guest]

Really annoyed that they stupidly let Harvey hit for himself and they still get a run by doing nothing but hit a groundball at a hole.

[jersey cubs fan]

Jeez...a good throw might have nailed him.

 

I think that same throw on target still misses him, that "good throw" would have had to have been much harder.

Gotta get into the Mets pen

[Fred Hornkohl]

Russell in to pitch for the CUBS

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Sheesh. Harvey's splits actually get better after 75+ pitches.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Sveum's need to use Russell in two-out situations befuddles me.

[Cubswin11]

Castro's OBP is up to .320, while not great, is a nice improvement. He was around/under .300 not that long ago

I think that same throw on target still misses him, that "good throw" would have had to have been much harder.

I agree. BTW, who the heck is Henry Melton?

[Gilby]

Sveum's need to use Russell in two-out situations befuddles me.

 

There was a RISP that time though.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Schierholtz grounded out to short, 6-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Valbuena flied out to left field

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Pretty heavy dose of WTP today.

I thought that was Johnny Manziel.

Yep. While Murphy's garbage liner finds the basket... typical.

 

Castillo's in the 2nd was probably 2 inches from the edge of the basket.

Last time the CUBS were held to 4 hits in a game.... Tue 02 Oct 2012 in a 3-0 loss to Houston at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-18 (.053) when they trail at the end of the 7th inning.... 16-5 (.762) when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murphy struck out swinging

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wright grounded an IF single to shortstop

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Castro's been saved a decent amount of errors by calls like that this season, imo.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wright stole second base
