CUBS are 2-36 (.053) when they trail at the end of the 8th inning.... 47-5 (.904) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Is it weird that I really like the persistent PitchTrax graphic on the right side of the screen, but I absolutely hate the ESPN broadcasts with the box on the actual strikezone?

 

No. Because you can sort of choose to ignore it with this format. On ESPN, you have no choice but to be annoyed.

[Andy]

Well, you're not going to get a better chance against Chapman than the day after throwing 44 pitches and with Schwarber, Bryant and Rizzo up.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hopefully Chapman blows his arm out and sets the Reds rebuild back 10 years.

I agree..It's because it's out of of the way and doesn't interfere like ESPN one. That one is [expletive] annoying

[Gilby]

I could see Chapman being extremely wild this inning.

[TruffleShuffle]

going to guess that schwarber has not faced many pitchers similar to aroldis chapman.

[Schwarber Fan]

If Ross wasn't ejected, would Maddon PH him for Schwarber?

[Gilby]

No way.

[NotSoSober]

can't believe they're using chapman here

[weis21]

good job soriano

[PrimeTime]

Swung at ball 3 and 4

[NotSoSober]

102 at the chin. chapman is a scary man

Chapman was able to be used tonight because of all the rest he had earlier in the season in those extra innings games against the Cubs

[Derwood]

Enjoy Chapman for the next 10 days, Reds fans. He'll be a National or a Yankee real soon

[Andy]

We seem to have a lot of real tough losses like this this year. Maybe it's just because every one of them stings more after waiting for this season for 5 years.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Oh well. The Cubs don't score enough runs or execute enough to think they are going to win a lot of games when they give up five runs.

 

This had to be a 4-3 win and it just didn't happen.

[UMFan83]

[sigh]

 

Shitty game...bad luck all around. Oh well this was the Richard game. Never feel too confident in games he starts.

[sontensei]

the behind the back play by phillips was the game right there.

[ScrubMD]

At least we're back to stranding a lot of runners instead of never having any base runners.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

the behind the back play by phillips was the game right there.

 

For me it was the two-run homer to Bruce.

[Ski]

Funny how our excellent reliever hangs a meatball on 2-0 while Hoover made excellent pitches on 2-0 against our guys. He can't make a mistake, nosiree.

i saw the starlin gif at the top of page and thought they won. bastard.
