Nice AB, Javy Contreras

[UMFan83]

that's ok we still have 2 more outs to play wi- oh wait Joe decided one of our last 6 hours was worth giving away.

[Omar]

Heyward in a pressure situation?

 

In 2016?

 

Fridge break.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Good thing we bunted them over for a K.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Lost in Willy not getting two is that he failed to get one.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

What a god horsefeathering awful at bat for Conteras.

[Andy]

The Ram post about this inning is going to be epic.

[NotSoSober]

Russell better PH for Montero is it comes to that

[squally1313]

PH for Baez if it comes?

 

Edit: Forgot about Miggy. Same question.

[BigSlick]

Unfortunately a walk brings up the K crew

[BrockLanders]

are your last six outs important or should you give on away, tough call guys

[David]

So glad we wasted an out with zobrist

[UMFan83]

Thanks Joe

[NotSoSober]

Thank god we bunted

[Flames24Rulz]

Kind of deserved to not score after bunting with Zobrist, but what the hell do I know?

[Schwarber Fan]

Needed at least one more there. Oh well.

[Ski]

Good job you fucks.

[UMFan83]

So glad we wasted an out with zobrist

 

He's petrified that Zobrist will GIDP. He's mentioned this in the past. If you are so scared of this, why is he hitting 4th behind Bryant and Rizzo?

[Ram1380]

Way to give away that out, against a guy having trouble throwing strikes, with your clean up hitter sitting in a full count "genius".

[squally1313]

It's fine, we've got Miggy/Javy/Ross coming up in the ninth, things are fine, totally fine.

[Andy]

I blame the Marlins for having someone playing SS instead of the 5 people at 2B defense I've been proposing for a month. We should be awarded a run for their foolishness.

Also, for horsefeathers's sake, Joe. You're a smart manager. Non-squeeze bunts are dummmmmmb. How the hell does everyone on a Cubs message board know this but the one guy in charge doesn't?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Just such a poor time to be conservative. I get not wanting to make two outs, but you automatically are giving up one and you are taking pressure off a struggling pitcher while also taking the bat out of the hands of a pretty good hitter......then asking a rookie and a struggling vet to play hero.

How about starting the runners and getting the defense moving for once then...? Hit and runs arent illegal on the baseball field Joe. He does know this since he's the best manager on the planet and all...right..?
