5/8 Dusty Baker's Nats (Roark) @ CUBS (Jake) 1:20 PM CDT WGN/MLBN

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Alright. Now get some damn runs.

[David]

boom. has really taken 2 errors to score so, w/e.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Nationals fans have to be feeling uneasy that it's only 2-0 with how the flow of this game has gone.

[Cubswin11]

why not throw that nasty low and in changeup

I'm guessing Zimmerman struggles with velocity at his age/arm/shoulder injuries. Probably doesn't want to risk hanging or missing a spot of an off speed pitch when he can just blow it by him.

[Cubswin11]

Georgie dong this inning

[BigSlick]

FInally the guy I hate the most on their team screws something up.

 

Punish them for it

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Thanks, Daniel.

[soccer10k]

Suck it, Murphy.

[Cubbie Swagger]

Oh man. I wanna make that error sting so bad. I want Daniel Murphy to toss and turn all night tonight thinking about how bad he fucked up.

[BigSlick]

Did you seriously swing on 3-0 Soler

You aren't allowed to do that until you get a .600 OPS

[Careless]

The one time sliding into first base would have made sense :\

A fastball down the middle was the right pitch to swing at. He also hit it very hard, just right at a fielder.

[BigSlick]

Split a gap Addy

I mean...that approach is exactly how you increase your OPS.

[BigSlick]

Nice!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wow, a gift run there with Federowicz at the plate.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Such a beautiful run watched in by a shitty player. Nice job.

[Cubbie Swagger]

Oh man. I wanna make that error sting so bad. I want Daniel Murphy to toss and turn all night tonight thinking about how bad he [expletive] up.

YES

 

BURN

[Transmogrified Tiger]

When did Zobrist get a sports cast?

 

A couple guys wear those on the bases, Javy is another I know of for sure.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Apparently just being in the batter's box allows Federowicz crappy defense to transfer over.

[bukie]

Secretly kinda wished Fed swung at the wild pitch with 2 strikes.

[BigSlick]

Now you may start the 6th inning with a pinch hitter instead of Arrieta, which is nice

I'm guessing one of the exit velo guys on Twitter will post one of those tweets that say "that Soler ball was hit at x MPH and balls in play at X have a .700 batting average or something." I have no problem with green lighting him on 3-0 when he squares up a pitch that should find a hole more times than not when it's hit as hard as he hit it.

2 runs won't win this so despite human-Jake this could still end happily

He would have tripped on his way to first. So no worries.
