9/16 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Pirates (Burnett) 6:05 CDT, CSN

Montero is really grinding my gears lately

[PrimeTime]

ugh god damnit miggy

[Sammys Boombox]

Ok. Montero is really crappy so far tonight.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm all about honoring Clemente but a phone interview during a baseball game is a terrible, terrible idea.

[Sammy Sofa]

BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING.

[Ski]

We're back to June/early July Cubs where I have absolutely no faith in this team to get big hits.

 

And Jesus, Castro was given a meatball and just grounded to shortstop.

For those that think we never get a runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs...well we don't often enough

 

Think it's partially a symptom of a high K team. Simply put if you don't make contact you can't drive the run in.

[UMFan83]

Come the hell on Montero

 

And Castro

Montero is absolute garbage behind the plate.

[ARCubsFan]

Miguel Montero cannot throw

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Oh boy...

[Andy]

Christ on a cracker Montero

[UMFan83]

It was going to be quite the meltdown if he scored there

they were getting big hits like two games ago

[Deeg]

Has there ever been a player worse at keeping throws from the C in the infield than Castro?

[Guest]

hell of a job backing up the play by arrieta

[Guest]

has to be caught, what in the world Starlin

[NotSoSober]

montero has a noodle arm, but what's the deal with castro? is he afraid of the ball?

[Andy]

Arrieta luckily doesn't care, gets out of it anyway

[Clem Fandango]

C'mon Castro get in front of the damn ball, don't give me this olé [expletive]

Now THAT is infuriating. I figured it was just meatball grousing on my part in how it felt like they really squander a LOT of those opportunities. I can't believe it's that bad.

[Ski]

I'd be embarrassed to see that stealing defensive gaffe in a little league game.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Yeah, this is developing into a strange problem for Castro.

[Deeg]

That's 11 K in 47 PA for Baez, and a ton of hits to RF.

[Stu]

would trade my kid for a dong this inning. Not the dog though
