6/5 Cubs (Garza) @ Angels (Vargas) - 6:05 pm CDT, CSN

Why is Hollandsworth in the booth?

 

And why the [expletive] is Darwin Barney batting leadoff???

 

So he can get on base for Cody Ransom homers?

[d_money]

Nice double steal. Sori's getting hot

[mul21]

It's a small consolation that the Sox just blew a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the 14th inning to Seattle. The silence on the broadcast is deafening.

 

Wait, what?

 

They went all those innings with 0 runs and then that happened? Baseball is [expletive] crazy.

 

 

 

I was paying attention to this game because I couldn't get a damn win out of Iwakuma.

 

Yep, Seattle scored 1 with the bases loaded and then hit a GS to tie it.

They could have won it, but those HR are rally killers.

 

 

For the life of me, I can't remember what dumbass said that.

Hawk's silence was amazing.

Actually, looks like another moron, Steve Lyons, is the original culprit:

ETA: And it looks like the George Brett thing was taken slightly out of context.

Brett said it at his introductory press conference the other day.

 

Lots of people have said it historically.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yes to pulling Garza after six. No to the worst pitcher in the pen being first one out.

[d_money]

Do we have a Dusty Jr on our hands?

[Guest]

Do we have a Dusty Jr on our hands?

 

Only if Garza goes back out for the eighth as well. Was only at 95 through six.

[Andy]

I love dropping routine flies

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Do we have a Dusty Jr on our hands?

 

He's not abusing the pitchers. It just seems like the default is to send a guy back out if he's under 100 pitches, no matter what, and I don't think that's right.

Granted, our pen blows but Garzas recently off the DL and we don't need a repeat of last year

[Elwood]

Is it really necessary to refer to every player by their first name??

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Suck it, Albert.

[Guest]

Suck it, Albert.

 

I was going to be annoyed if that fell in.

[Schwarber Fan]

Nothing is sacred I guess.

[Andy]

Cubs bullpen surrenders lead. Film at 11

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Poor Dale. Even when he does it right, his pen still blows it.

[Guest]

1st and 2nd with no outs, let's get some runs, Cubs.

[InconspicuousZ28]

1st and 2nd with no outs, let's get some runs, Cubs.

 

Nope.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Denied.
