10 balls, 2 strikes in the inning and 3 outs....unbelievable.

[illiniguy]

lol, Matt Adams.

[CubInOK]

Heyward either needs to be benched for a game or two or dropped in the order to give him a wake-up c all.

He just got a week off.

yeah, that's what he needs. he's just not trying hard enough.

Worked for Castro. I'm not saying it's the only reason, but sometimes you get mired in a funk and you need a metaphorical slap to get things together.

i hate listening on the radio so much

 

pat's excited voice when bad things happen infuriates me

 

i think that's part of why i'm one of the game thread lunatics today

[Andy]

BS, Matt Adams should never make anything resembling a good defensive play.

3 days

[Sammy Sofa]

Same thing I was thinking.

 

Well, it's almost 5 my time and I work until 8, so yes.

Why wouldn't you eat dinner at 8 instead?

 

This is definitely going to be a thing, btw.

 

Because I wouldn't be home until 9, and only scumbags, vagabonds and college students eat dinner that late.

He was just benched for 3.

Work, that's a fools errand.

Your dislike of Pat is really, really weird.

[UMFan83]

really hope that first pitch is not a sign of how things are going to go for Stropy

You're weirdly obsessed with punishing players on your favorite team.

[CubInOK]

Why can our entire team not locate pitches today?

[UMFan83]

I don't care what the Cardinals pitcher just did, that is not the proper way to get out of innings.

[illiniguy]

Come on Pedro.

[17 Seconds]

yayy we get bad strop horsefeathers me

Yeah I cannot take this radio stuff at all.

[Tryptamine]

Grimm threw 6 pitches, why did he need to be replaced again?

[UMFan83]

hit a grounder right to Russell please.

[Sammy Sofa]

That Wong-wa-Wong-Wong-Wong.

I don't really have an opinion on Pat the broadcaster. I like Pat the person, as much as I know of him, fine. But I'm far from the only person here who has expressed similar sentiments about how the excitement in his voice when bad things happen confuses the hell out of them. I'm hearing that cadence and I think Rizzo is knocking a ball through the infield...NOPE it's Matt Adams making a great play. Sweet. Now I'm jumping to the exact opposite emotion from what I expected.

[BigSlick]

how do we get just like a nice 1-2-3 inning, that feels like a herculean task that no one can possibly do on this team right now

[UMFan83]

Is Bob Costas in the building?

 

Rondon hasn't pitched in a week, lets get him in there to throw more than 1 inning.

[Sammy Sofa]

You guys are going to feel pretty, pretty silly in about 15 minutes or so. A bunch of real knuckleheads.
