Go CUBS !!

Montero's inability to lay off 3-2 pitches in the dirt is maddening. So many good plate appearances for him this year have ended on 3-2 pitches in the dirt.

There have been a lot of bad ABs tonight

Yeah. It seems, however, that Montero often just decides before the pitch he is going to swing on 3-2. Right after he has not had that approach for the previous 5+ pitches.

Even though he's been good for us since we got him back, I still feel like we're getting away with something every time Russell pitches a scoreless inning.

[Gilby]

That was a half-hearted strike 3 call. I think the ump realized how far outside that pitch was right after he made the call.

[Sammys Boombox]

I just realized (partially due to what Len and JD were talking about) if Wood didn't blow that game in St Louis the Cubs would not have had a single 3-gam losing streak all season.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-15 (.167) when they trail by 2 runs or more at the end of the 6th inning.... 36-15 (.706) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Obvious, but next AB for us is key.

[PrimeTime]

Stretch out Grimm and make him #4 starter?? :wink: His stuff is filthy and better out of pen. Wasn't he not that good when he was a starter with Texas or so so?

[treebird]

shockingly incompetent rendition of the stretch from pat

[Fred Hornkohl]

It's about time for another one of those comeback rallies, no?

He kinds seems like he hasn't given a [expletive] in a while.

[Schwarber Fan]

Keep bringing in lefties to face Rizzo, heathens.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wasn't the intention when we traded for him to make him a starter but then he just couldn't really stay healthy enough to be a starter?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 26-13 (.667) when they get they get at least 8 hits .... 13-17 (.433) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I think that's a much bigger factor than anything else.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hey... we're running out of innings, boys !!!

[Schwarber Fan]

Still love this team. Even if they don't come back tonight, they're winning tomorrow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-2 (.875) when they give up fewer than 6 hits .... 25-28 (.472) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Don't get this move. Fully expect Jackson to give up a hit.

[ARCubsFan]

Guess this tips off Travis Wood on Saturday
