6/25 Dodgers (Frias) @ Cubs (Lester) 1:20, ABC7, MLBN

[Andy]

So Jaxon is out as a Saturday starter and if he goes 3 innings he probably can't piggyback Wood either. What exactly are we going to do there? Granted, it's STL throwing Wacha against whatever we send up there, so it's halfway to a white-flag game already.

 

Kinda like Kershaw and Greinke?

Hammel started one of those games, so that was hardly 'white-flag'.

[Ski]

Coghlan hasn't been thrown a strike yet.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

If Gamecast it to be believed, the first 2 strikes to Coghlan were near the Cubs dugout.

I long for the day when batters don't have to adjust their approach based on the whims of the homeplate umpire. Edited June 25, 2015 by Ski

Wada started the other... So I'd consider that rape.

Correct. The second one nearly clipped Maddon.

[Ski]

I'm out. [expletive] this game.

[Schwarber Fan]

I know I exaggerate a lot, but this has to be close to the toughest game to watch this season. It's not like this crappy lineup is even being shutdown, they just can't get a ball to find a gap or land into the basket and then when they need the big hit they get a K or guy thrown out at home.

[Sammys Boombox]

Turn on the game for Sczcur and Coghlan. Umpire freaking sucks

That's baseball.

 

Doesn't make it any less frustrating, though.

no, just no

[TruffleShuffle]

10 base runners in 5 innings, 0 runs. Facepalm.

[Schwarber Fan]

Why would the Dodgers use Peralta AGAIN? I don't get that.

2010 was the last time the Cubs ranked outside the bottom 6 in baseball in average with RISP. Granted, we've had bad teams, but you'd think just by dumb cluster luck we'd have snuck outside that at some point.

[Schwarber Fan]

Frias: 5 flukiest shutout innings of all time.

 

How could there be a double switch??? Is anyone left??

[Schwarber Fan]

Castro sighting.

[Schwarber Fan]

Another ball clobbered.

[Ski]

Just take two out of three against the Cardinals, and I'll be happy.

[Andy]

Largest Wrigley crowd of the season to see this [expletive] show.

[Schwarber Fan]

Highest hit ball of the day and it carries? Why not?

[Schwarber Fan]

Anyone else annoyed at the Dodgers announcers talking about how last night was such a "must win" for them? Meanwhile we have a better record and are about to be 8 games out of first.

RIP

[UMFan83]

Wait I thought Castro's girl was having a kid, what is he doing in the game?

 

Fowler is in now too?

[Schwarber Fan]

Coghlan went from LF->2B->LF->2B, lol.

[UMFan83]

I wouldn't have been super disappointed at splitting this series before it began but I never imagined that we did split it would be the Kershaw and Greinke games we won.

 

Also, 7 runs in a 4 game series, but we split. Crazy
