Srsly though, is Polanco okay?

[Derwood]

I can't wait to see the highlight. Sounded ridiculous on the radio.

 

 

Are we sure he didn't have a stroke?

[davell]

Surely, one of you has to find a way to do the RKO out of no where to that....

[DiamondMind]

Oh. My. God.

I hope he's ok so I don't have to feel bad about laughing my ass off

[Tracer Bullet]

Can't tell if he's really hurt or if he did the same thing one of my little leaguers did last night after throwing a ball from second base into the visitor's dugout and immediately grabbing his arm and crying that he'd been hit by the ball (though he fielded the ball cleanly with his glove).

The way the Pirates 9th and 11th and the Cubs 10th and 12th Mirrored themselves somewhat until the decideding batters (Cervelli and Szczur) was crazy.

[Banedon]

If you wondered how the call sounded in Russian...

by the way, if polanco had caught that ball and castro hadn't tried to score, who would've been the batter? i guess jaxon would've had to hit for himself?

 

Ross was still available, although that would have left Coke as the only remaining pitcher and I don't think he was warming, so my guess is Jackson would have hit.

 

ross strained his oblique in yesterday's game and ended up bunting into a strikeout on a 2-2 count. i'm not sure he can swing a bat right now. i think jaxon was the only move there, especially since he was needed to pitch as long as the game went on.

I thought Polanco tore his ACL at first.

Ross was on deck in the 10th so he clearly wasn't a hard scratch if the situation dictated it, but I agree Jackson would have hit there.

I was waiting for this one to show up.

[Careless]

I really really really wish that had happened at the end of a game against the Cardinals

i'm mildly hoping that ross was just being used as a decoy there, and he's injured enough to require time on the DL.

also, someone desperately needs to add these effects to the polanco gif.

Holy [expletive] we won that game guys. I'm still in shock.

[treebird]

cubbies! you can win stupid ways!

[DiamondMind]

Honestly that's in the top ten of craziest games I've ever seen.

[bukie]

Sure, the ending was odd, but the odds are in your favor if you keep getting men on base every inning.

Good? THEY'RE THE BEST.
