Should've bunted towards Jaime Garcia

[Ski]

Are you horsefeathering [expletive] me? -_-

[Transmogrified Tiger]

he's out anyway but he did not remotely leave a lane there

[Ski]

I would have considered pinch-hitting for Hendricks there.

[fallacy]

Save us Fowler

[UMFan83]

I wonder if Joe didnt end up challenging because Soler didn't actually ever touch home.

[Careless]

Ok, now that last one was an embarrassing fan reaction

[Derwood]

This game is stupid

[UMFan83]

Dammit...what a weird game.

 

And weird in that the Cubs haven't scored multiple runs yet.

This isn't a serious post is it?

you mean the bummed reaction to the pop out?

[stitchface]

I'm not really arguing the call but if the intent is to avoid a collision, you shouldn't have to have a collision to get the call . . . is Len just way off here?

[Stu]

Dammit...what a weird game.

 

And weird in that the Cubs haven't scored multiple runs yet.

 

and because the opposing pitcher is supposed to have 81 pitches through 3, not 5....

No, the part where they cheered a weak fly ball that was clearly going nowhere.

Fans should be stoic, and only react to home runs, but only when they clear the fence, and not before.

Well it is a game against the Rockies in mid-April. Gotta go all out to win.

[Derwood]

Ok, that Bryzzo ad is funny. I'd never seen it before.

[BigSlick]

Sigh

[squally1313]

They decided to be bored in the first half of the game instead of the last half. Dude is pitching a shut out and still over 80 pitches. We'll be fine.

and only if they are meaningful

This was kind of my thought - further down the road or if further behind, I might have pinch hit there.

[Ski]

I thought Joe's new mantra was 'don't suck.'

[Omar]

In my view, as good as the Cubs were in the first 9 games, that's how as bad they've been now.

[BigSlick]

ugh

I heard two that inning, one where Coomer got excited along with the fans but the wind knocked the ball down. And on the last out the fans let out a collective groan that they wasted a scoring opportunity.
