There's only one horsefeathering out.

trash

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Don't mind me. I'll just be injecting heroin into my forehead.

[Tim]

Contreras cannot catch at the major league level. Sorry, Vinestal.

That's overreacting.

[UMFan83]

Groundhog Day. Offense generates chances but can't get enough in, bad starting pitching, bad plays in the field extending innings. They look terrible out there

[Tryptamine]

This team is playing like they scared and they're panicking about this tail spin. It shows up in their pressure at bats and it shows up in this sub par defense.

[TruffleShuffle]

Was ball three to Fryer as bad a call as gameday/CubsUmp made it look?

It feels that way. I wish they'd recognize the division lead is sizable and play looser.

They're afraid Joe is going to yell at them again.

Lester missed his spot and Willson reached over his body, didn't really look like a strike live too

[Little Slide Rooter]

So we can add Jon Lester to the list of pitchers who have become horrible for no reason.

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, that could have been worse.

[rocket]

time to enjoy 6 innings of not scoring

[bcl412]

I would be okay with a 1 run deficit but damn it feels like we can't sustain any in game momentum.

 

We are hitting this guy. Get base runners and hopefully some more hard hit balls will drop/get through holes. this game feels like a slugfest.

[Tim]

Well, that could have been worse.

Word for word, that is what went through my head.

[Agony and Ivy]

Contreras cannot catch at the major league level. Sorry, Vinestal.

That's overreacting.

 

I'm sitting directly behind him. He cannot receive.the throw was mental but he's costing Lester strikes.

Or scoring but them scoring more.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I really can't wait for the All star game. I really hope it fixes our entire team if not were screwed.

[UMFan83]

Here is how Pittsburghs last 7 runs have been scored:

 

Throwing error

Single

Fielders choice

Wild pitch

HBP

Sac Fly

Throwing error

[bcl412]

I have this weird feeling that Fowler is gonna come back and we'll start winning just because we are a good team getting it going again but it's going to be attributed to having a good top of the line up guy again or something.

[Sammy Sofa]

Keep rubbing that Rizzo ball!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Attaboy Rizz. Somebody get that man a lawn chair.

[Derwood]

Was Rizzo running through quick sand from 2nd to 3rd?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

We are going to score this run, right?

[bcl412]

All it takes is for that baseball to go up the middle instead of to first but since baseball wants to punch everyone in the dick it goes to first. Make up for your stupidity Willson
