[Tryptamine]

Absolutely hate that decision to bunt.

[davell]

WTF are you bunting for Davey???????

[JonJayCutler]

Horrific.

[UMFan83]

Damn I did not realize how drastic Javy's splits have gotten.

 

vs. LHP 1.012

vs. RHP .660

[Stu]

Cmon Ken Zobrith....

[UMFan83]

WTF are you bunting for Davey???????

 

.239/.265/.394 vs RHP, contact switch hitter on deck and Bryant in the hold (miss you fred)

 

I'm not saying I love the bunt there, but I'm guessing that was Martinez's logic

[TruffleShuffle]

wind blowing out, 4 dongs in 5 innings.

With a guy who has been mashing the last week.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Dammit

[UMFan83]

Everyone licks their chops against the Reds pen except the Cubs (conveniently neglecting to remember all the times the Cubs chewed up the Reds pen)

[JonJayCutler]

Yeah don't care how bad his splits are, stupid ass decision to bunt having homered already and the wind howling out.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Stupid bunt. Oh well, we still have three more innings of Reds bullpen implosion opportunities.

Yeah, that's the logic. But its still dumb IMO.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Addi's got another homer left in him. Let's hope the shitty relievers on our side don't blow it.

No doubt. I don't care about splits there. I wouldn't bunt with anyone.

[UMFan83]

I hate games where we get into a hole, claw back to within 1 and never quite complete the comeback. So lets, uh, not do it here.

[TruffleShuffle]

how thoroughly unsurprising that hamilton throws his bat at a bad pitch and stumbles into a double. if he could hit like this against everyone he'd be headed to cooperstown.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I really don't think it is possible for me to hate Billy Hamilton more than I do now.

[JonJayCutler]

Of course he does.

[UMFan83]

Yay Cubs middle relief is just the best

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Speaking of people that I hate: Travis Wood.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Our pitching refuses to let this L slip through their fingers.

[Schwarber Fan]

Bottom of the 6th was the turning point today.

[UMFan83]

Somehow there are 3 teams that are statistically worse at throwing out base stealers than the Cubs who are 15-62.
