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

[Schwarber Fan]

Holy crap, Jake. Pull that back

[Deeg]

I hate bunts too, Joe, but - seriously?

[UMFan83]

Mad that Arrieta couldn't get the runner to third with 1 out but wondering if it even matters

[UMFan83]

Come on wild pitch

[UMFan83]

Dammit. Almost

[Deeg]

My God, that ball was pulped.

[philosophizer75]

Why? We never get runners in from third. Ahaha screw this Spanish interview going on

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.

 

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.

 

You need to be pissed at Rizzo then, who continues to watch his teammates suck in those situations but has yet to conduct a tutorial about it.

[ARCubsFan]

Moar RISP left

[Ski]

Can we please please please score one tiny run?

[rawaction]

I really don't want to see the Pirates in a 5 (or 7 if it was possible) game series. I'm much more worried about having to beat Burnett and Liriano multiple times than beating Cole once, regardless of who the Cubs pitcher is.

[Ski]

Burnett mows us down every time we face him. It's infuriating. You're 38 for [expletive]'s sake.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 3.45 P/PA through 5 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

When healthy he's been pretty darn good all year.

[Schwarber Fan]

I hate that the Rangers were only bad for 2 years after their WS appearances and are now good again.

[Clem Fandango]

Did the Pittsburgh organist just play The Doors?

[philosophizer75]

Schwarber bouncing off the wall on that foul ball just made my day ahaha

[Schwarber Fan]

Starlin should've had that.

[UMFan83]

Russell would have had that easily

[OleMissCub]

Nice effort, dope

[Guest]

Grote is somehow considerably worse at pbp than coomer

[Irrelevant Dude]

That actually looked fairly routine.

[Guest]

Walker gets 4 strikes and rolls one through, that's not fun

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeah, Glanville, let's talk about how frustrated the Pirates should be by the Cardinals and ignore the Cubs frustration that is double that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-5 (.737) when the opponent GIDPs at least twice.... 69-56 (.552) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
