Go Cubs.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Did Lake just pimp that walk?

[Old Style]

Lake is impressive so far. Hope it continues long term.

[Rob]

Lake has more walks than strikeouts in his MLB career.

 

Figured I'd type that out while I've got the chance.

[Andy]

Valbuena. Love it.

[Schwarber Fan]

I really hope we keep Valbuena around.

[Sammy Sofa]

I really hope we keep Valbuena around.

 

Why wouldn't they?

[Andy]

It's almost like walking the pitcher is galactically [expletive] stupid or something.

[InconspicuousZ28]

That's what you get for walking the pitcher.

[Andy]

Damn, Junior Lake is really freaking impressive out there, especially for being an infielder.

[Schwarber Fan]

I know Cargo is really good but he owns the Cubs.

[Andy]

Damn, Junior Lake is really freaking impressive out there, especially for being an infielder.

That was my fault.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Go Cobs Go.

What a dumb rule.

[witty alias]

What a dumb rule.

 

I missed it. What happened?

[Guest]

What a dumb rule.

 

I missed it. What happened?

 

They (incorrectly) called interference on Castro, which meant the ball was dead and Fowler was not allowed to advance home. If anything, LeMahieu should have been called out of the baseline since he leapt 5 feet out of the basepath to try and make contact with Castro(he didn't).

[Schwarber Fan]

And on top of that, the rule assesses Castro an error.
