10/12 Cardinals (Wacha) @ CUBS (ARRIETA), TBS, 5:07 CT

[Fred Hornkohl]

P/PA through 7 inning(s)....

 

CUBS: 4.17

Cardinals: 3.87

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

what kind of [expletive] luck is that

 

The luck of having a dumbass on the bases?

 

You're great overstating it. The only way he avoids the ball is heading back towards 1st which is the last thing you want to do if you're not sure the ball is getting through.

 

Disagree. This happens all the time, you always see the runner either stop on a dime or leap over the ball. Castro probably leaped when he should have slowed up, but it was a little unfortunate the ball took the bounce it did

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 81-4 (.953) when they lead at the end of the 7th inning.... 18-62 (.225) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Butterscup1679666578]

oh no it's strop

[muntjack]

Just me or has Montero been Ross-level terrible for awhile now?

[davell]

1-2-3 now

[rawaction]

26 pitches for Wainwright, wonder if he's done for tomorrow too

 

Doubt it. Elimination game for them. All hands on deck.

[Schwarber Fan]

First sign of danger, Rondon better be ready.

[LeonDurham]

oh no it's strop

 

 

:banghead:

[mul21]

Grimm, Rodney, whoever, just not Strop please god.

[bcl412]

A 1-2-3 inning from Strop would be awesome.

[kujay]

No no no no it's not Strop. Joe wouldn't do that.

[Guest]

Oh god Strop is in.

Castro got past the ball then kicked his back leg up to avoid the hop, that's exactly the right read since the first 2-3 hops were no more than ankle high. You can't anticipate the ball popping another foot in the air on that last hop with the trajectory it had. If he had not tried to avoid it he probably gets through, but that's a pretty unnatural reaction when you know the hop is close to you.

[Splendid Splinter]

Watch Strop with 3 straight Ks and does the biggest celebration punch or whatever he does.

[NotSoSober]

oh god. strop is in

[Careless]

everyone panic!

[LeonDurham]

Is it Strop? If so, I just don't get Maddon here. I guess he just believes in individual splits and not team splits.

[Guest]

Can't watch this.

[Guest]

Don't [expletive] this up Strop

[Cubswin11]

Exercise the demons, Pedro

[doublebubble]

hmm... Strop is due for a great inning against these guys

[rocket]

someone hold me

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I believe in you Pedro, I think.

[Gilby]

This is really ballsy.
