10/1 Cubs (Hammel) @ Reds (Lamb) 11:35, CSN;MLBN

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-16 (.385) when they commit 2 or more errors.... 83-49 (.629) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[BigSlick]

I definitely have visions of Rodney blowing a huge situation in the playoffs

 

This has more to do with my intense hatred of Fernando Rodney than anything else, but I can't change that

[KatJ]

Dear 'Pen: the games still do count, in terms of home field advantage. Please don't f this one up. Thank you.

 

P.S. especially for Hammel, who could really use a W now that he's had a quality start.

 

EDIT: !@#$ Addison!!! This is no time to do an Alex Rodriguez impersonation!! (Actually, it's never time.)

I don't know how many huge situations Rodney will face, as he's behind a few faces on the totem pole.

In fairness, Russell booted a DP.

Technically not a QS for Hammel, as he only pitched 5 innings. But a good start none the less. He's earned a W.

That ballpark is all sorts of depressing right now.

Sometimes I feel like middle relief especially just likes to dick around and see how far of a hole they can get themselves into before focusing. Edited October 1, 2015 by KatJ

It is always time for Addison Russell to be Alex Rodriguez.

CUBS are 73-65 (.529) when they give up runs.... 20-0 (1.000) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I'd love Addison Russell doing an ARod impersonation the next 15 years.

Every time he's at the plate is a good time to do an ARod impersonation.

 

Alex Gonzalez? Never.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Worked 3rd shift, dozing in and out all game, finally awake all the way due to laughing at brandon Phillips.

I was away from my computer -- what happened?

 

On third no out, Popout to Javy in shallow left behind 3rd.

Phillips kind of mocks Javy by starting to walk towards home. The exact moment Baez starts to run in Philips stumbles and gets caught in a pickle for an out.

Thanks Tim, that's what I meant to say, of course. #-o

[Fred Hornkohl]

All right now, that'll be enough !!!

What the hell is going on

[UMFan83]

Geez, I think the Cubs caught shitty defensitis from watching the Reds too much.

[KatJ]

What the hell is going on

 

Middle relief is doing its screwing around thing, and defense has forgotten how to catch balls cleanly.

 

Will there likely be a staff day one of these last few games? Not sure I want to see that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 3.97 P/PA..... Reds are seeing 4.03 P/PA through 7 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 75-4 (.949) when they lead at the end of the 7th inning.... 18-61 (.228) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

is it me or does kat have a problem with middle relief?

I missed how Rodney got the first 2 on but excluding that, the pitchers did their job. Rodney got a grounder that Russell botched, then got a double play ball that couldn't be turned fast enough. Richard got a perfectly placed slow grounder that got through, and then Cahill got a ground ball that Baez couldn't field cleanly

There might be one in the playoffs.

CUBS get a couple of dongs right here and everything will look rosey again, eh?
