08/30 CUBS (Arrieta) @ Los Angeles (Wood) 7:08 pm, ESPN TV

[Outshined_One]

Arrieta is so unfair sometimes.

[Agony and Ivy]

I love watching this man pitch.

Arrieta is flat-out unfair these days.

[NonProfitCow]

This woman is the worst color commentator I have ever heard. Kruk is funny because he's just a miserable dumb fat guy this woman brings nothing to the table. She just talked about shading your eyes with the glove in the OF. Then spouted off some cliches about hitting. And before anyone says I am being sexist, if she was actually good I would have no issue.

 

I don't think you're a sexist(at least intentionally), but if you're really saying that you'd rather listen to Kruk even part of the time compared to what she's offered as commentary, I think you're going to be on an island there.

 

PBP guy: "When you're struggling a 97 mph curveball followed by an 80 mph curveball it's not fair"

 

Lady: "Especially when it's Arrieta..."

 

That comment doesn't even make sense.

 

At least Kruk can tell funny stories about coming up and making hitting adjustments and make himself sound like the dumb oaf that he is, and he's a decent storyteller.

Kruk just said that Posey is an MVP type guy because the Giants are in it, but Harper isn't valuable because the Nats are in 2nd. That's a comment that doesn't make sense.

That looked good off the bat for Addy

Gee Dan, why do you think Cubs managers constantly get asked that question constantly by ESPN reporters looking to drive a pre-concocted narrative for ratings and page clicks?

Kruk thinks Lester can't start a wild card game because the Pirates will run all over him.

Oh man if Arrieta were to throw a no-hitter and the only baserunner was on the Castro error, meatball fans might literally explode.

[Guest]

aw Utley almost cost himself the play by slowing down after the stop

[Outshined_One]

That'll do Castro. That'll do.

[ctcf]

Castro: HE LIVES

[Outshined_One]

Isn't that an illegal block?

[Agony and Ivy]

He's safe. Utley's old ass reflexes weren't quick enough

[Agony and Ivy]

Isn't that an illegal block?

 

How so? Blocking only pertains to home

[UMFan83]

Cubs 0-4 with RISP tonight

 

0-13 in the series.

 

Only runs scored on a solo HR, Sac fly, Balk and a HR with a runner on 1st
