The roof is open? Why?

Air out the cheese funk.

Nice catch, Ross.

[bcl412]

Alright, how about playing like being down 2 runs to [expletive] Milwaukee with 8 innings to go isn't some crazy, insurmountable lead?

We're 6-3 in our last 9 games and a good chunk of those were against good teams and people keep acting really weird because a pitcher struggled in the first inning which happens a lot. Some people aren't really cut out for this sport.

 

It's frustrating to watch a bad game, but even more frustrating to watch a boring bad game right after a boring bad game the night before. I know they're a very good team, but I'd enjoy a romping of a [expletive] team when it's a lazy weekend afternoon and I can actually watch the game.

 

I get that. I'm more referring to people acting like this game is over.

[UMFan83]

Jesus the dude is at an elevated pitch count early the last thing you want to do is put the guy leading the league in steals on first due to a dropped 3rd strike

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I would expect that from our other catchers but not Ross.

[rocket]

welcome to 3rd base villar

i think he was making fun of the cubs

 

Yup. Along the lines of what rocket said, it's felt like for a while now that if the Cubs fall behind early then they're basically done for the rest of the game. I miss the team that scoffed at opposing team leads.

[Tryptamine]

is there a site that sorts come from behind wins? because it sure seems on the rare occasion the cubs aren't leading, the bats die.

 

I don't have the stats but I know it has been brought up before and the Cubs are really poor with come from behind wins, especially late.

[Derwood]

Miller Park doesn't have air conditioning

[Careless]

lol

[Tryptamine]

horsefeathering ridiculous.

To that point I'm looking back and in only 1 of our last 12 wins has the opponent scored first

[Agony and Ivy]

Ross is super useful and not a waste of a roster spot at all.

[UMFan83]

[expletive] ridiculous.

 

This is how they were playing during that swoon

[soccer10k]

Lazy catching by Ross.

[Derwood]

Clown shoes

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Well I guess it might be time for Ross to retire after all.

[weis21]

on the bright side lester can tie the record for four strikeouts (or maybe more???) in an inning?

 

i'm assuming this is a record, btw

[Liam Neeson]

[CubinNY]

This reminds of a Babe Ruth league game when one team just embarrases the other.

[raw]

5 outs.

[UMFan83]

Well Lester had 3 Ks that inning so that's cool. Also got a ground out and line out

[Schwarber Fan]

I know I overuse hyperbole on a regular basis, but this is something else.

[weis21]

i'm still confident they can win this game
