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

Rodney in. Joe has lost his [expletive] mind

[UMFan83]

"It looks like Ross is going to catch"

 

Were you really expecting Szczur to catch?

[rawaction]

It's ok guys. Saving Rondon for the save........Tuesday.

[Ski]

Whelp. Ballgame. Rodney in. Not even going to get disappointed if it happens.

 

I guess he's been decent with the Cubs? Except in extra innings, you pitch your best relievers in descending order to extend the game. Rodney definitely isn't better than Rondon.

He makes Jake throw 357 pitches, PH Szczur with Russell on the bench then leaves Rondon chilling in the pen

[rocket]

Oh great this dude

[kujay]

Rod, don't throw that pitch again please.

[kujay]

He did, got lucky.

[Cubswin11]

Do you guys think Rodney and Motte have contests to see who can throw the straightest fastball?

What in the hell is Joe thinking? I dont know how he thinks this guy is good and thinks it's okay to put him in a situation like this

It's like the world's slowest bicycle race.

Saving Rondon for the middle of the Pirates order is fine.

[Guest]

welp, he got through Kang, now I'm okay with Rodney going against the bottom of the order.

[kujay]

Jesus get the fuckin ball down in the zone.

PNC Park is 399 ft to straight away center field; Wrigley is 400. Why is it we have to see 3 posts about PNC National Forest every time a batter flies out to deep center field ??? Why?

Maybe the Pittsburgh atmosphere suppresses fly balls more often than at Wrigley?

399 is what they put on the sign, it's actually about 515

The only saving grace in the Pirates walking off this inning would be to see Ski blow up after saying he wouldn't.

Pittsburgh atmosphere suppresses everything.

[Ski]

Wow, nasty pitch.

[kujay]

Well, good job Rodney.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Kick-save Rodney!

[weis21]

Yep. His peripherals are more than sufficient for this situation.
