5/2 Brewers (Fiers) @ Cubs (Arrieta) - 1:20 pm CDT (CSN)

[Clem Fandango]

Oof. Golden Sombrero for Bryant.

[bcl412]

I feel like they have missed a lot of hittable pitches today. I hope that's a "that's baseball sometimes" thing and not something that indicates a problem.

[Schwarber Fan]

If the Cubs do that, the guy gets sent back for contact with the 3B coach.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

The last three games have not been real fun.

[bcl412]

Miracle ninth inning comeback time

They've also had a truckload of balls be called strikes too, especially on strike 3

[Little Slide Rooter]

Didn't have the pleasure of watching that error, but between Gameday and Twitter, sounds like it was some Benny Hill type [expletive].

[Schwarber Fan]

Is there a way to check individual swings and misses? I don't know if I've ever seen so many in a single game.

[jb10194]

I thought this game couldn't get any worse, then I realized Denorfia has a Nickleback song for his walk-up.

[Derwood]

Dongs, not K's, dummies

[Schwarber Fan]

If Lake puts it in play, give him a start tomorrow.

[Clem Fandango]

18 strikeouts. Unbelievable.

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow. Let's hope that's the worst game of the next decade.

[bcl412]

That sucked

Damn. I hope so, too.

[SpongeWorthy]

That was fuckin feeble

Welp... the Pirates have left 18 men on base through 11 innings in St. Louis, so there's that.

[BrockLanders]

Maybe it's just me, but for me, I like it better when we win.

[Schwarber Fan]

I fully expect to see Herrera and Lake starting tomorrow.

[Gilby]

I fully expect to see Herrera and Lake starting tomorrow.

 

Oh c'mon, there's no reason to sit one of Russell, Castro, or Bryant for the light-hitting Herrera against a hittable pitcher when the wind figures to be blowing out again. Pretty much everyone looked bad today; Jonathan Herrera won't fix that.

Tomorrow the kids will probably get a "mental" day off

 

RF Lake

CF Fowler

LF Denforia

3B Coghlan

SS Castro

2B Herrera

1B Rizzo

C Castillo

 

 

Yo 18k's against the Brewers is depressing btw.

And Matt Carpenter of the .397 BABIP coming into today won the game for them.

 

I really hate those fucks.

[DiamondMind]

I thought to myself, this is the kind of night Maddon brings a python or magician or python-magician into the clubhouse for sure

[Careless]

Am I reading this right? A batter scored on a grounder to Castro?

Yes, Castro made a poor throw and Rizzo couldn't pick it. Rizzo didn't think the runner would try for 3rd so he stopped and slowly picked it up, and when he realized what happened he threw to 3rd, where Bryant as inexplicably 10 feet from the base, enabling Schafer to easily score.
