4/2 cubs (jacksy) @ pirates (morton) - 6:05 ct (csn+)

[Schwarber Fan]

seriously, Kalish?

[Tryptamine]

Daz Cameron here we come!

[gscool89]

If we're going to suck, I'd rather suck with guys that are going to be here in 3 years. No excuse for Lake and Olt to be on the bench today.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

guys that are going to be here in 3 years.... Lake and Olt

 

No and prob. no.

[Schwarber Fan]

Oh, how I didn't miss how when Jackson starts, the Cubs are still in the field every time I look up.

Morton held righties to .223/.264/.287 last year. It's only fair to the fans to not make us watch those 2 face him.

[GlassCow]

Mix in a strike or two Jackson, just for the hell of it.

[Tryptamine]

Kalish does his best Jacque Jones impression on that throw.

[Careless]

Nice throw. Almost made the middle of the infield dirt from short left.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Ballgame

[UMFan83]

Sure can't wait for that bounce back year for Jackson #smallsamplesizeoverreactions

[gscool89]

Well that may be enough

[OleMissCub]

Kalish is not good at outfield.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ballgame?

[neely crenshaw]

is he not fast enough to steal bases without taking such an absurd lead that he gets picked off 3 times in less than 2 games

He's only been caught stealing 36 times in 8 seasons(139 steals), so it doesn't seem like it's a normal occurrence…but if he keeps this up he may double that in April.

 

In 2012 he had 30 steals and was caught 3 times.

 

Pickoffs don't count as Caught Stealings

pretty sure they do

 

Oh ok.

baseball reference is the only place that says it. MLB rules state: any runner would be consider caught stealing that is thrown trying to steal, or is picked off, or would have been thrown out or caught stealing on an errorless play.

[Fro]

might as well forfeit now, we let the Pirates score a run.

I think they only count as CS when a guy gets in a rundown and makes a move towards 2nd.

[Elwood]

Hit him again.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Sorry, I got caught up in Veronica Mars. What did I miss?

[Schwarber Fan]

go ahead and waste the challenge, he was out

[Guest]

this frankenstein of a team isn't even strong and couldn't even strangle a young girl to death

[treebird]

that was a really good throw by castillo

[gscool89]

Ha Ryan Kalish. Gotta stack those lefties dude.

[Careless]

Ha Ryan Kalish. Gotta stack those lefties dude.

He did just miss a homer by a couple of degrees.

[Tryptamine]

That was an extremely generous strike 2 call on Jackson. It would be nice if he got those as well.
