I gotta say..... I am mildly surprised that Toby Basner is still on this crew for today's game.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Rookie ump behind home plate = cringe. Pirates free fall has begun, take care of business, Cubs.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yay, more walks.

[Schwarber Fan]

Here we go with the pitch count again.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Cubs now have 33 WP+PB. NL average is 21.

 

Using linear weights, that's already cost us almost 4 runs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 12-9 (.571) when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 11-22 (.333) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-15 (.423) when the opponent steals a base.... 12-16 (.429) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Kubel's lack of hustle saves the Cubs there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-17 (.528) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 4-14 (.222) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

Good thing Kubel decided not to run right away. Got the Cubs out of the inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-16 (.556) when their pitchers average 16 pitches per inning or less.... 3-15 (.167) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-7 (.650) when they get hit by a pitch..... 10-24 (.294) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

not sure how i feel about the socks anthony. i think at that point you have to just go full knee-sock

[Guest]

When a guy throws six straight pitches out of the zone, you should probably wait until he throws a strike to swing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS got 3 HBP in a game.... Sat 03 Sep 2011 (3 HBP) in a 7-5 loss to Pittsburgh at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

When a guy throws six straight pitches out of the zone, you should probably wait until he throws a strike to swing.

 

I feel like the Cubs dugout is just flipping your off in response to this, en masse.

CUBS are 18-17 (.514) when they draw 2 or more walks.... 5-14 (.263) when they don't

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That was a grand slam for most of this homestand.

 

Good inning.

[Guest]

One run on no hits and 33 pitches for Corbin.

[Schwarber Fan]

That was a grand slam for most of this homestand.

 

Good inning.

 

Would've been the 4th straight cubs game with a grand slam. Insane.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wind is blowing in, nobody's on base. Throw strikes, Edwin.
