6/20 Cubs (Lester) @ Twins (May) 1:10 PM ABC7

[Ski]

I can't believe this team scored 17 runs in a game this week. Every other game this week has been pretty awful from an offensive standpoint. It's not like they're facing the Dodgers and Cardinals rotations. That's next week.

 

have you actually been watching this game?

 

Actually, no. Haha. Been listening while mowing. Just watched the last 2 innings.

 

lots of loud contact finding gloves

 

at least one good scoring opportunity destroyed by a screaming line drive for a double play with two guys on

Yeah, the only abhorrent inning that can be truly pinned on the Cubs is when the side struck out with a man on third.

Grandpa's had a nice game

[Schwarber Fan]

Alright Addison, two run bomb.

[Gilby]

Hopefully Schwarber's just having a bad day with the pitch recognition and high fastballs don't lead to him having a higher K rate than expected like what sliders have done to Soler.

[Sammys Boombox]

Well, that sucks. I've watched good chunks of games this week, but missed all of the 17-0 game. I haven't seen this team score a run since the last run on Sunday. And that was a frustrating offensive game too. Probably watched 20+ innings of scoreless ball personally, so my point-of-view is a little more skewed that mosts' right now.

maddon really loves him that 3-2 pinch run

sigh

it makes a lot of sense though

[Schwarber Fan]

Pitch was right down the pipe, no reason for that delayed umpshow call.

That pitch was not in the strike zone.

[Ski]

Has umpiring always been this bad? Or do fans have more tools available to them nowadays?

[DiamondMind]

it looked like a strike to me

Buxton's walk to Lester came on a pitch in an identical spot. Neither were strikes.

[Sammys Boombox]

It was a ball, but it was not egregious.

[Gilby]

Guys, it's not 2011 anymore. Mauer is a singles hitter. Don't walk him 3 times.

[ARCubsFan]

Excellent job there Russell. Now [expletive] off.

[Guest]

Also the 2-1 pitch just now

[downsr30]

2nd inning a row walking the leadoff man. Cannot be doing that.

That 2-1 pitch looked like the exact same pitch Russell got rung up on

This game makes me want to take a nap.

[DiamondMind]

I don't need reasons to take a nap

[Gilby]

Yes, this is a Clint Hurdle move here. He's out.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He's out.
