6/14 Reds (DeSclafani) @ Cubs (Lester) 7:08 PM CST, ESPN

Great hit but I can't believe that was even a play at 2nd.

 

no kidding. after he bobbled it i assumed it was going to easily be a double. ross has to be one of the slowest men on earth.

Would've preferred Montero there, but nice bunt. Let Wood pinch run; we have enough pitchers. Edited June 15, 2015 by Gilby

Can we get a pinch runner for David Ross please.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ya think ??? The man is a 38 year old catcher !!

[Soul]

Ross might be gunned down @ home even on a decently-hit fly ball.

[Gilby]

Great job by Russell to lay off that. Ross needs to come out of this game. Wood, Wada, Arrieta...just about anyone would be better to run.

[Andy]

I'll gladly take a slowly hit ground ball to short here, maybe the Reds would try for 2

not with a 3 position player bench in a close game, you can't.

[Sammys Boombox]

It's pretty awesome we have to pinch hit for the SP to get a sac bunt down when he definitely has another inning in him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 27-21 in the 7th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I get not wanting to waste a positional player there but one of these pitchers at least can run better than Ross can.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Nice job by Russell to draw the walk.

 

Which reminds me of the guy who was sitting behind me at Wrigley last night, talking to his friends as if he was an expert on the Cubs system and saying that Russell would probably move to the Outfield when Baez comes back up.

 

I wanted to turn around and smack him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have homered in each of their last 4 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

Don't you dare call that a strike.

[Careless]

yay

[Gilby]

Nice!

 

Thought that was hit a lot further.

[Soul]

Wtf is there a gale force wind blowing in or something?

[Andy]

Nice!

 

Thought that was hit a lot further.

So did I, but just glad he made it easy on my ticker re: Ross.

[Ski]

Yeah, I thought that was gone.

 

Still, nice!

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's the CUBS first sac fly in their last 22 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Rizzo is due for a HR

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Yeah I thought that ball was hit harder than it actually was but I'll take a sacrifice fly.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-3 (.700) when they hit at least 1 sac fly.... 26-24 (.520) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

We were able to score without having to PH Montero or Denorfia. That could be big for later.

[Andy]

Olney says that was Ross' first run of the year. Ludicrous.
