[BrockLanders]

For someone that gets so much contact, Zobrist seems to fail in those situations a lot (waits to be proven wrong)

 

Welp

[David]

seriously horsefeathers this game

[UMFan83]

Another wasted opportunity (assuming Heyward grounded to second during the time it takes this to post)

[Tryptamine]

Jesus christ, can't even put a damn ball in fair territory.

[Ski]

JEsus horsefeathering Christ Zobrist. Now is not the time to be garbage.

CAN WE WIN TEN FUCKIGN GAMES IN A ROW ONE TIME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

[Cubswin11]

Heyward dong would be cool

wtf cobs

[Clem Fandango]

 

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.

 

If that ball is fielded cleanly do you really think coghlan has the speed to tag from first to second and beat the throw in the first place? He was lucky to be called safe at third and was barely past second when the throw came in to the cut off man on a misplayed ball.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

not really a fan of this game

[Ski]

One clutch hit, guys. Holy horsefeathers, show some life, guys.

[Ski]

Time for the Heyward groundout.

Yes, Piscotty is not throwing him out at 2nd from the wall, making 2nd is basically a layup.

People can't even stop being weird during a 9 game winning streak?

We've had about 20 basernners. They have shown life weirdo.

Partially a Cardinals game and partially people getting irked that the Cubs have had a handful of nine game winning streaks over the past 15 years but we haven't hit ten since 2001.
