5/22 Cubs (Lester) @ D-Backs (Collmenter) 8:40, CSN+

[Schwarber Fan]

Of course the 2-1 hit his bat. Frustrating.

[Ram1380]

I think if they insist on playing Ross, he can't be hitting 7th.

 

wtf where do you expect him to hit then?

 

That's the question for sure....but I certainly understand the frustration seeing runners on the corners and knowing you have back to back automatic outs.

 

And of course as I type a punchless scrub homers and ties it up....

 

WTF

 

oh ok then they should definitely change that because that can only happen hitting 7th

 

let's bat ross between bryant and rizzo, then never back to back automatic outs

 

 

Strawman much...lol

 

I said I can see the frustration....not that that there is ANY good place to bat Ross.

Rage. Building.

[NotSoSober]

now i'm starting to get pissed. this dude is terrible and we should have many more runs

[Ski]

Still waiting on the Cubs to have one of those blowout 10-1 games where we don't have to hang on every single at-bat.

[Schwarber Fan]

That freakin outside corner is not being called for Lester!!!

[DiamondMind]

ol' slumpbuster

You signed up for this when you became a Cubs fan. You knew it'd be like this.

[NotSoSober]

pretty sure grace has better stuff than collmenter

[Andy]

They took Collmenter out, but this game is a bunch of BS at the moment

[Schwarber Fan]

Let's please not get blooped into a deficit now.

baseball makes no sense

[treebird]

i think we need to start trying to influence the game.

[treebird]

that's probably a double, he got a huge lead before

We tried that already and the bullpen still blew it.

[treebird]

surprised grace is still able to coach, i didn't know there were any halfway houses within walking distance of chase field

[Andy]

Tomas sort of looks like a taller and fatter Russell

[Derwood]

i think we need to start trying to influence the game.

We almost had that 7-1 and later 10-5 game against the Pirates, but of course our bullpen imploded and of course the Pirates had the perfect clutch hit at every opportunity. Thank god we ended up winning.

[NotSoSober]

so grace went from announcer to facing like 8 felonious DUI charges to landing a job as a bench coach? that's impressive

Grace is probably already under the influence

[CubInOK]

Grace would have drove a car into the Mississippi River if he were a cardinal.
