5/10 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Brewers (Garza) 1:10 WGN

[Sammys Boombox]

No way that's the right call.

[Gilby]

I've never ever seen that called when the runner gets the base like that. How many times has Holiday gone completely out of reach of the bag to nail people and not gotten called?

 

Yeah, he's basically physically assaulted Castro once or twice.

[DiamondMind]

Seriously, two weeks straight of getting hosed by bad calls.

umpshow and modshow here today

[Guest]

things that drive me crazier than umpires:

 

using your relievers in ascending order of quality in extra innings instead of the opposite. So so so so so dumb

[Guest]

Ross got the bag with his hip and basically raised his arm to protect himself from getting kneed.

[ARCubsFan]

If Ross did that to Russell or Castro, we'd be going nuts. Was an unnecessary play that had no impact on whether Fowler was out or safe.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I have little faith in James Russell. Prove me wrong please

[DiamondMind]

I dont hate Russell but why is Rondon not in the game here

Only if it was Matt Holiday

that was pretty much textbook for sliding into second to break up a double play in a clean fashion.

[DiamondMind]

The most impossible question in the universe is "who is more hateable, carlos gomez or matt garza"

Holiday goes in with his spikes on people five feet off the bag.

I'd freaking love Gomez if he were a cub.

I'm sure he did it to break up the double play, the problem is that it's not dirty, and I can't find any reference to it being illegal in the rulebook.

[DiamondMind]

Russell looked pretty good. Nice curveball.

[ARCubsFan]

James Russell doesn't look too bad out there. Not bad for someone we traded and got back for free.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Thanks James. Doosh Braun can leadoff next inning, hopefully down 2 runs

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 5-0 in the 11th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Well, there's no question he was trying to break up the double play by angling his body that way. But I think he catches that leg in his face if he doesn't raise his arm.

As bad as the bullpen has been recently, this one is more on the offense today. I like wins when only giving up two runs in 10 innings.

[Careless]

At what point are you actually concerned about how far behind you are? It's a long season but St. Louis isn't getting any worse.

Odds that STL keeps playing at a 115 win pace: pretty damned low

I just like wins.

[Andy]

Hopefully Joe goes to Rondon in the 11th

I mean it's St. Louis, anything is possible.
