5/17 Pittsburgh (Burnett) @ CUBS (Arrieta) 1:20, WGN/MLBN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Russell made that look easier than it was.

[Schwarber Fan]

Montero is so good and should be playing pretty much every day.

Montero is so good and should be playing pretty much every day.

Then he wouldn't be as good.

Was the ump trying to be an [expletive] with Soler? The delay and then the flamboyant call.

I think he probably called it audibly before the delayed motion, that's generally how it goes with those types of punchouts, which a few different umpires use.

[Ski]

Ho hum, another great catch by a Pirates outfielder.

I was watching the Giants vs Reds game earlier and the 2B ump there was being worse. Think he was just trying to make sure there.

Just 2 years before that ridiculous 23-22 game with the Phillies, the CUBS laid a big hurt on the San Diego Padres..........

[ScrubMD]

Not bad.

[Agony and Ivy]

Going to the 8th in Miami. Loving the early returns on that Miller-Heyward deal.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ugh!

[Careless]

:banghead:

[Guest]

oh, so it's tootblan day

[sweetpeteman]

What the [expletive] was that Russell?

[Schwarber Fan]

Between Montero getting doubled off and Addison picked off, we should have Burnett at a much higher pitch count.

[Sammys Boombox]

Between Montero getting doubled off and Addison picked off, we should have Burnett at a much higher pitch count.

 

And should probably have runner(s) on for Bryant/Rizzo which is what irritates me the most about Russell going there and Fowler going yesterday.

[Schwarber Fan]

McCutchen should've been gone on the 1-2. Stupid game so far.

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-7 (.588) when the opponent GIDPs at least once.... 11-8 (.579) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Justin Bour breaks up Shelby Miller's no-no with 2 outs in the 9th.

[CincyCubsFan]

Ouch.

[Careless]

Makes me wish I disliked him more.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Cubs FINALLY knock him out; been trying all series.

 

EDIT: Or not; Cervelli's staying in

[Ski]

We always seem to perform poorly against Burnett.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-13 (.606) when they draw 2 or more walks.... 1-2 (.333) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
