6/27 Cubs (Arietta) v. Reds (Straily) 6:10 WGN

[NotSoSober]

What is that now? Like 39 of 40 base runners have stolen on Montero?

[Tryptamine]

This bullpen is an absolute joke.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Even Orioles-version Jake is better than our bullpen.

[Little Slide Rooter]

 

Whut.

 

No, not really. But if these struggles continue much longer, you know that chatter's going to resurface.

 

makes total sense. he got on PEDs to be awesome at baseball, used them for a couple of years, then just decided to stop using them and become bad at baseball again.

 

I honestly don't believe it in the slightest. But hypothetically, the accusation would absolutely be enough to get somebody to stop.

[NotSoSober]

Joel Peralta will solve the bullpen problems

[Transmogrified Tiger]

[Ding Dong Johnson]

hurry up and get to Billy Hamilton so we can walk him again

[Liam Neeson]

Kris will just have to hit another 3 run homer.

[ScrubMD]

35 SB vs. 2 CS for Montero this season.

[bcl412]

I was concerned that Montero wouldn't throw him out

People have accused Donald Trump of being a racist and that hasn't stopped him from being racist.

[CubInOK]

Why can't our entire team pitch anymore?

[Sammy Sofa]

This is the Stephen A Smith-iest thing ever.

[NotSoSober]

35 SB vs. 2 CS for Montero this season.

Better than I thought. Do you happen to remember the 2 he's actually thrown out?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

If you're taking roids I'm pretty sure you don't start sucking the minute you stop.

 

Also, if you're taking roids and know there is always a chance of getting caught you probably don't turn down long-term extensions that would guarantee you a hundred million dollars.

hey man he just announced today that he's dropping the muslim ban and changing it to only blocking certain countries known for harboring terrorists

[Aaron_Kennelly]

35 SB vs. 2 CS for Montero this season.

 

I assume the 2 caught stealing tragically collapsed and passed on while on their way to second base,

1 was a pitcher I think

I'd guess they were both pickoffs at 1st

So you honestly believe that hypothetically, if a star player who had been accused of PED shut down his accuser in the manner that he did, he would continue to use them?

 

Look, I'm not saying that he did, because I don't think he did, as he always had the strength and the velo. I'm arguing that a guy who was openly accused of usage would be enough to get them to stop.

[Butterscup]

this pitching staff is fucked.

[ScrubMD]

90% sure that 2 is just a data-entry error.
