What in the world was that inning? hahahahahahaha

[BigSlick]

It's good having a Superhero pitch for your team

[BigSlick]

....Coghlan?

 

What?

[Brian707]

Let Willson PH

 

 

I would think that is what Joe is going to do

 

I guess not

[BigSlick]

....Coghlan?

 

What?

Look at how stupid i am

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nice throw.

[Cubbie Swagger]

That was so frickin' GRITTY!

[Omar]

....Coghlan?

 

What?

Look at how stupid i am

 

Scissors and now this

[Thusly Boned]

I think Joyce had decided he just wasn't going to swing the bat at all in that AB.

 

And now he makes a nice throw.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Let's actually score this time.

[Omar]

Can we see Contreras here please? I'm not sure if that is the right call, but I still want to see it.

who?

 

what?

 

[weis21]

joe is stashing wilson for the late inning heroics

[BigSlick]

Holy moly this is a freaking unbelievably frustrating game in terms of scoring opportunities

[UMFan83]

This is not a great game for hitting with RISP for either team

[Andy]

Ugh popups with man on 3rd and 1 out get me irrationally upset.

[David]

yay

[BigSlick]

Zobrist is so good

 

So so so so so good

[apete6]

Pirates guys are saying Maddon wanted Richard warming up and he's pissed that Cahill got up instead

 

I told you I wanted Herpes, NOT Crabs!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I love that creepy weirdo.

[Andy]

Thank you Zobrist!

[raw]

The last couple weeks (since he stopped being hitting version of Arrieta), I somehow keep forgetting that Zobrist is really good.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Nice about time we got a hit with a runner in scoring position!

[davell]

I love that creepy weirdo.

 

 

Hallelujah. God bless. And pass the horsefeathering Tylenol.

[philosophizer75]

Zobrist seems like the kind of guy who is a team-streak buster. He will smoothly whack a single when the team has been struggling with RISP for a bit (even a tough couple of innings).

 

Pretty great kind of guy to have in the lineup.

[UMFan83]

It just boggles my mind how good Arrieta is at preventing hard contact. Especially with RISP. If his control was more like last year, he would basically would be throwing CG shutouts in 75% of his starts.
