8/11 Cardinals (Martinez) @ Cubs (Lester) 7:05 CST, CSN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

so THAT'S why Matheny is so dumb

[Ding Dong Johnson]

of course he did

[badger]

So tired of mlb cutting away to nyy/bos but at least I missed that

[Cubswin11]

Of course that one gets out easily

[weis21]

Hey David. Removed Heyward from your sig and let's see what happens.

and I'll add him (alone) to mine

[Sammy Sofa]

I swear there is a statistically significant amount of [expletive] that occurs when we play the Cards.

 

Please explain what you possibly thinks qualifies in this very, very boring 1-0 game.

 

Why do you encourage it?

 

Because he has nothing besides "WAH, THE CUBS ARE LOSING AT THE MOMENT AND I BLOW GOATS."

[rocket]

lol thought Moss was terrible against lefties

[WoodRules]

Ha ha. Of course.

[Hunter]

Did JD and Len forget their audience? I don't think most of us care to hear about Matheny being tough.

Yes. This can be fixed. He doesn't even make sense in the sig in the first place. Help right the ship, David.

I thought Ross was terrible against righties and he missed a HR by an inch. Weird night

[Transmogrified Tiger]

 

Seriously. That's some of the worst base running I've seen all year

 

It took the ball hitting the underside of the basket to not be either a flyout or a HR. Tagging is the percentage play there, and makes a big difference considering the gap in man on 1st, 2 out, and man on 2nd, 2 out.

 

Or With the pitcher due up, and a notoriously bad hitting one at that, he coould've just stayed halfway and waited for the result instead of assuming a ball that was still being tracked at the warning track would be caught.

 

I'd chance a 1-1 tie over 2 outs and a runner on 2nd with the pitcher up 11 times out of 10

 

Again, if you're tracking that fly ball, you're very certain it's caught or a HR, it was hit straight in the air and Piscotty was right under it. I don't want Coghlan gambling on the 1 in 20(1 in 50) chance that it happens to catch the basket AND bounds away from Piscotty so that Coghlan has the chance to get 3 bases if he doesn't tag.

He does. 1st hr this year and sub .300 slg

[BigSlick]

Playing the Cardinals is always torture for some reason

 

IT'S THE 6TH [expletive] INNING IN A 1-0 GAME.

 

Some of you are some real hot ham sandwiches.

Even if the Cubs go on to dong them into submission from here on out I'm allowed to call the first 6 innings torture. When bad things happen over a period time it's not fun. It's not a big deal.

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright, I need to be up at 4:30, so I'm going to bed. I hope the cool people here enjoy the inevitable awesome comeback win and I hope the rest of you barf up your hearts just before it happens.

i'm on your side on this, but it's not like the basket was necessary for that to play out that way. could've hit the wall too. odds have to be ebetter than 1/20 or 1/50.

That goes with Chapman allowing his 10th career XBH to a lefty with a 1 run lead and runner on 2nd as annoying oddities

[David]

warm it up kris!

[rocket]
