I'm fine with having Rondon go right here but who is closing tonight? CJ?

[TMan92]

I assume that is there last decent receiver. Gotta hold me here.

 

:-k

 

Massive editing fail.

[Ski]

This is the right call. You can't assume extra innings. Gotta maximize your odds of giving the team another shot to bat.

I seriously hope it's Rodney, both because he's the best option and because everyone hates him

[Hunter]

At least Rosscup can't pitch again.

Interesting that Maddon had the choice and pulled Coghlan instead of Schwarber

[Outshined_One]

If you removed Ryan Howard, showed me the Phillies' lineup, and told me that was the lineup for Miami or Seattle, I would believe you.

Yeah....while eye test will tell you that Coghlan is probably a better defender than Schwarber, I think Maddon is confident that Schwarber is probably at least the level of whatever kind of outfielder advanced metrics say Coghlan is. If that makes sense.

I feel like when the Cubs score five to 10 runs next inning we can put in Ross for all I care.

[Ski]

Crap, Rondon walked a guy. OH GOD HERE COMES ANOTHER TWO OUT MELTDOWN.

[XZero771679666304]

I hate walks.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

WTF

[Derwood]

well poop

[Outshined_One]

Boo.

 

Get 3 out of 4 tomorrow.

[Guest]

Asche is 7 for 21 with 3 doubles, a triple, and a HR against the Cubs this year

[kujay]

Stud.

[expletive].

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Oh hell no.

[Ski]

Fucling great.

[squally1313]

Hm. Oh well. Pretty impressive resolve with that comeback. I'll trust Maddon to have the bullpen sorted out by October.

[ARCubsFan]

Back end of the bullpen is bad

[TMan92]

Wow. What an awful job by our bullpen lately.

[Ski]

It's fine that one of our relievrs had a meltdown, but two? Really? After two outs in the innings? Twice? Late in an important game?

 

Sooooo much shitty luck tonight.

[Schwarber Fan]

There's the one loss that I thought was inevitable in this series. Thankfully, the Pirates didn't sweep Milwaukee. But we absolutely have to take 3 of 4 at PNC if we want to pass them.
