[DiamondMind]

Crawford is insane.

[Guest]

safe

[ARCubsFan]

He looks safe

[DiamondMind]

Veeerrrryyy close but looks safe

[NotSoSober]

safe, but probably won't be overturned

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why on Earth would anyone tell Kyle Schwarber to steal a base anyway?

[DiamondMind]

Im not gonna be *that* mad if its not overturned. Super close.

[Sammy Sofa]

Why are they sending Gigantor?

Why are they sending Gigantor?

 

get runner in RISP w/ 2 outs, off speed count, element of surprise

[Guest]

horse [expletive] but whatever

[DiamondMind]

I'm more upset about the SB attempt than it not being overturned

1 out

[DiamondMind]

So Strop to close it out? Grimm for the 8th...who do you bring in for this inning? Leave Wood in?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 41-6 (.872) when they lead at the end of the 6th inning.... 19-42 (.311) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

the cubs (and maddon) are very good at baserunning stuff. let them do what they do.

Wood starts the inning, then Motte/Grimm to get through the 8th with Grimm getting the better hitters, Strop in the 9th.

[Guest]

note that the team we are tied with in baserunning value has billy [expletive] hamilton (also the sole reason i'm in second in my dynasty league...dude in 1st has like 8 roto points on me because of one guy)

[Andy]

That was about the 800th time this year that the call was probably wrong but they couldn't find the video to prove it

I'd leave Wood in. 8-9-1 coming up.

Just don't have the Thing steal.

[SouthSideRyan]

Nothing you goobers have had to hear from San Francisco's team can be as bad as having Sutcliffe for a half inning.

[Guest]

i love hearing that theo is a lunatic when watching games

Wood starts the inning, then Motte/Grimm to get through the 8th with Grimm getting the better hitters, Strop in the 9th.

 

I'd think about Strop in the 8th with the potential of Duffy-Posey-Pence coming up.

[Guest]

Wood's deception must really play up with that extra bit of velocity in the pen. He gets a bunch of whiffs on 92-93 mph fastballs.
