7/2 Cubs (Rusin) @ A's (Griffin) - 9:05 pm CT - CSN

[Castros trade value]

A's will make you pay every time. They're the pinnacle example.

 

Uhhhhhhhhhhh....what?

 

I am not staying up for a game this dumb.

 

This game is wildly entertaining.

[JoshiQ]

Well, this has been an awkwardly played half inning.

[Andy]

Boy, that was a pretty strict definition of the baseline. Crisp didn't move far out of the path.

[JoshiQ]

I thought they were going to call him safe. And I was going to:

 

:banghead:

[Outshined_One]

Oakland's tied for first place?

 

What the hell.

[Sammy Sofa]

Boy, that was a pretty strict definition of the baseline. Crisp didn't move far out of the path.

 

He had to move out it just to not get tagged.

[JoshiQ]

Boy, that was a pretty strict definition of the baseline. Crisp didn't move far out of the path.

 

Pretty sure I've seen guys get further out than that and been called safe. Maybe the ump wanted to save Castro's career by ending that inning while he could.

Source: OF prospect Eloy Jimenez & fam decide on #Cubs but another team was in mix & offered more $$. Expect announcement in next few days.

[Schwarber Fan]

no bunt with Barney?

[bukie]

No, because that's a stupid thing to do in a high-offense game in the 6th inning?

[Schwarber Fan]

Ha, David Bell has no idea when to send guys and when to hold them

[Illini Iceman]

Why would Bell be holding him at third there? Good move by Bogusevic to ignore him.

[sneakypower]

so perfectly Castillo to mess up on the same play he also does something awesome

[JoshiQ]

Think my MLB.TV is a bit behind, but what the heck was Castillo doing?

[Sammy Sofa]

Castillo has made really dumb decisions trying to stretch hits a few times this year. He seems to forget he's not that fast.

[Illini Iceman]

Think my MLB.TV is a bit behind, but what the heck was Castillo doing?

 

I guess he figured when the throw didn't get cut off he could advance to third. He was wrong.

 

Bell was too busy trying to stop the runner from scoring when it was obvious he would make it easily to be helping Castillo.

[Layoutman]

So who is worse - Way them home Wendell Kim or D Bell?

[Schwarber Fan]

Navarro's having a nice season

[Illini Iceman]

Navarro is a hitting machine.

[sneakypower]

any particular reason A's fans are doing the stupid tomahawk chop??

[Illini Iceman]

Another blown save for Russell.

poop

[Guest]

damn, these guys blow

[Castros trade value]

If not for this pen, the Cubs are in the wild card hunt.

[sneakypower]

that escalated quickly
