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

[NotSoSober]

Not going to knock LaSetlla for that. Marte played that perfectly

[illiniguy]

ok Russell has to be hurt

I think he just looked so bad yesterday that he's getting a day off no matter what.

[kujay]

That wasn't even close.

[Ski]

The confluence of [expletive] luck that's befallen the Cubs this game is mind-boggling.

[rocket]

I never in a million years thought LaStella was going to be out. I don't care how good his arm is. I'm stunned

 

Yeah, and it wasn't even close. Baffling

[UMFan83]

[expletive] loud outs galore

 

Cubs with 2 runs on 11 hits yay.

 

Now it will probably be someone random like Rosscup

[rawaction]

3-0 and 3-1 are supposed to be hitter's counts. STop making outs![/quote

 

Confusing. That was 2 different thoughts. One late, one live.

[Clem Fandango]

Budding superstar Starling Marte

[Cubswin11]

I'm not saying that wasn't an incredible play/throw by Marte, but LaStella wasn't even close. Part of that play is TLS being slow as [expletive]

[ARCubsFan]

This is going to be the most annoying loss of the season

[UMFan83]

Sweet. Now find a way to go 2 Hector

[Ski]

[expletive] it, everyone just go into 'Try to hit the ball 550 feet' mode.

[treebird]

do we have any updates on la stella and how slow he is

[Aaron_Kennelly]

This is going to be the most annoying loss of the season

 

Tied for first with the other 47 times you have said this.

[UMFan83]

[expletive] it, everyone just go into 'Try to hit the ball 550 feet' mode.

 

If the Cubs bat again, the next 2 batters should be in "lean into one" mode

[Guest]

This is going to be the most annoying loss of the season

 

not even remotely [expletive] close

 

not even a little bit remotely [expletive] close

[Ski]

[expletive] it, everyone just go into 'Try to hit the ball 550 feet' mode.

Does the rulebook say anything about batters that jump over the plate as the ball is being delivered?

[UMFan83]

do we have any updates on la stella and how slow he is

 

Hes so slow, Aramis Ramirez is ripping him for not hustling

[Ski]

This is going to be the most annoying loss of the season

 

not even remotely [expletive] close

 

not even a little bit remotely [expletive] close

As far as most annoying losses of the season goes, that has to be the Peralta HR game.

 

As far as tiny annoying [expletive] building up over the course of the entire game, I would say this is up there.

[Guest]

ross is really good at throwing. he made that look insanely easy.

[ARCubsFan]

Rondon can go another

[UMFan83]

[expletive] it, everyone just go into 'Try to hit the ball 550 feet' mode.

Yeah they can be called out if the ump determines they are purposely leaning into a pitch. Otherwise baseball would basically be the inverse of dodgeball and everyone would try to get hit

still not close

 

hell, off the top of my head, the goldschmidt game was insanely annoying BEFORE we gave up a 2 out 2 run walkoff HR with a one run lead

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Give me dongs or give me death!

This game will not effect our chance of making the playoffs (ok technically it will a little bit) so while I really want the Cubs to win and gain ground etc at the end of the day it's not super important
