Cabrera 57 rbi's -- Trib needs to get him

[Sammy Sofa]

B. Phillips to second on wild pitch, B. Phillips to third on D. Navarro's fielding error

 

Really, really annoyed that catcher seemingly has become a hole that'll need attention.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, hey, 2 of the Cubs' 3 runs are because the [expletive] pitcher hit an XBH yet again. Variance can suck something really rude.

[ConstableRabbit]

Now that was a [expletive] frustrating inning.

[Schwarber Fan]

Feldman was too good to be true I guess.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That was some poor sequencing variance.

You're kidding, right? I know I'm Mr. Pessimism right now, but you're giving up on the guy because of ONE inning?

Brian Mccann will be a free agent this winter.

We kind of knew this was a possibility, but it would have been really nice (and still would be) if Castillo can hold it down.

 

He's still technically showing a lot of value, but the indicators are all pretty negative.

Yeah, nothing was a lock, but how hideous they've been back there defensively is laughable. I'd almost be willing to tolerate the offense if they could just catch the [expletive] ball. The only area of value seems to be Castillo's sexy ability to nail base stealers.

[Sammy Sofa]

So what do the Cubs' numbers look like if you remove the pitchers' offensive production?

[Schwarber Fan]

Votto doesn't need any help, ump

[Schwarber Fan]

Plate approach continues to be the #1 problem with this offense.

[Sammy Sofa]

Holy [expletive], a walk.

[Sammy Sofa]

TWO WALKS IN A ROW.

[Schwarber Fan]

Arroyo throws 8 of 10 out of the zone or something and Barney swings at the first 2. Sigh

To be fair, Arroyo wasn't going to dick around after walking two and facing Barney with two outs and the pitcher behind him. Unless he had just lost control he was going to be throwing strikes.

[Schwarber Fan]

Anibal Sanchez through 8 with a no no.
