5/5 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Cardinals (Lyons) 7:15PM WGN/MLBN

[NotSoSober]

few things more irritating than walking singles hitters

 

How about ground balls hit right at where a double play depth MIF should be that end up as singles.

yea, i thought that was a sure fire DP off the bat

About ready to hurl.

CUBS are 8-8 (.500) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 5-3 (.625) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[sneakypower]

now that is a bona fide tootblan

[Guest]

Stupid. Thank you Cardinals.

i am sad the cardinals are doing that smart thing but happy it didn't work.

 

also castro could probably anticipate that a little bit better next time.

Castro got caught napping like a handful of times his first couple seasons and now people think he's a six year old drawing in the dirt

On the other hand, if Castro catches that with a bounce in his step, Jay probably doesn't try to take home. Not that I think Castro was deking him, but sometimes it's to your benefit to have the opponent think you're incompetent, because that was truly a horrific decision by Jay. Zero chance to score unless Castro threw it away.

[DiamondMind]

Castro is out to sea

[halplm]

I don't like it when lots of strange things happen...

[Cubswin11]

The Cardinal announcers are the worst

when castro pulls his jersey over his head mid-popup in the 8th inning, i'm blaming you

As long as you thank me when he starts a triple play in the 9th by stopping a line drive with his hat.

[treebird]

that is a pretty nothing slider, i hope someone murders it the next time he throws it for a strike

[NotSoSober]

we called up james russell? not sure i was even aware he was still in the organization. grimm & ramirez can't get healthy soon enough

[Guest]

i used to love when prior would do that

[Gilby]

Castillo must not have read the scouting report or been watching this game if he's going to take a 2-2 hanging slider.

depends what you mean by still

 

he was traded to the braves last year

 

they released him this year and we picked him up in early april

Would've been a great move yesterday.... And whoever this guy is isn't making it to the 5th. He's already at 50 pitches in 2 innings

great [expletive] at bat by russell

[CyHawk_Cub]

Nice AB by Addison to draw the walk

[treebird]

unless you really need k's, even the good performances against the cubs tend to be short because we run the pitch counts up so much
