Keep on bunting Ricky

 

There was nothing wrong with bunting there

[kujay]

Come on Cobs, keep my fickle attention longer than one [expletive] day.

[Guest]

what sucks about this is that now if we lose it's guaranteed to be in disgusting annoying walk off fashion

 

Embrace the fun bad.

 

there will probably be fireworks and cannons and stuff which i will hear about 1 second of before walking away in disgust

 

ughhh

[SouthSideRyan]

The biggest issue with bunts is it makes it difficult to score multiple runs. Bunting in the 8th and 9th of a tie game isn't really an issue. Nor is bunting with the pitcher.

[Guest]

cutch is gonna hit a walkoff, isn't he?

[Guest]

this game has to be lost because of a leadoff walk.

[gscool89]

Are you serious. [expletive] this strike zone.

[KingCubsFan]

So we're conceding this game by bringing in Grimm?

[Guest]

That was a strike for Liriano all day you crook

This

[treebird]

i know we have decided grimm is going to be good now, but why grimm instead of veras here?

[Brian]

Some of you guys are talking a (potential) loss way to hard for game 1 of team nobody thought was going to be good.

[ctcf]

And here is Grimm to blow it.

[Guest]

it's always a [expletive] leadoff walk

Yeah, you're essentially sandbagging the chance for more than one run while increasing the chance for one run. Only advisable when one run will win it, which is pretty much the case right now.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

For all the talk about how our pen is improved, it kind of sucks. What are you going to do? Bring in your closer? Rondon?

Pirates brought in their closer in the 9th

He's the closer. He's used when the Cubs get a lead. You'll see him in a couple weeks.

[UMFan83]

Man this hurts

 

it stopped hurting a long time ago

 

It stopped hurting for me roughly 4.5 years ago

it's not the losing as much as the never scoring

In a lot of cases, a successful sac bunt doesn't really increase your chances of scoring one, either.

You guys sound like me when I first got here.

It hurts more when you tell me how long I've been numb.
