8/29 Pirates (Brault)<-WHO? @ Cubs (Jake), 7:05 PM, CSN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

why can't we get a play like that with Javy on 3rd?

[UK]

Marte is hands down the best defensive LF in baseball.

 

Is that the equivalent to being the fastest C?

[Buster]

If that's not blocking the plate they might as well get rid of that "rule".

What was the alternative? I can't get behind ruling he blocked the plate whether it benefits the Cubs or not.

You're right. Baez just needs to lower the shoulder next time. More effective and with his injury history going head first with that wrist isn't smart.

[TMan92]

The call of he game was the missed strike out/throw out. I am really horsefeathering tired. Can we please end this?

You mean Contreras?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

this ain't gonna end well

[Ski]

Oh my god don't botch plays now.

[17 Seconds]

They called it for like two weeks and now they never do. It's as if it doesn't exist. I think it should be a rule. But there are times like that, when the ball drifts over that make it impossible to not be in front of the plate. It's just hard to enforce. And it is entirely subjective. And I don't know what to think of it, or what to do about it.

 

it would be nice if they had stuck to the rulebook like they did the first time javy scored

[Buster]

Doesn't look like it's in the cards for us to win this one. Too many missed opportunities and BS breaks.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Marte wins the award for "Player most miscast as a left fielder while his team plays a much worse defender in center."

[TruffleShuffle]

I can't believe this [expletive].

 

Can we get ONE. [expletive]. BREAK.

 

can you go to bed? that would be a break for all of us.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

oh boy...

[Irrelevant Dude]

So this is going to be the Zastryzny comes back to Earth game.

[Schwarber Fan]

Oh well. Credit Locke and their defense I guess. Eventually we were going to run out of relievers.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

time for Rodriguez to do something douchey

[Ski]

I know that was a tough inning but you don't need to come out and horsefeathering suck right away, Z man.

[Buster]

There isn't much worse than staying up extra late for an extra inning loss.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Time to do your best Travis Wood impersonation.

[TruffleShuffle]

it would/will be pretty frustrating to lose in a game where we outhit the pirates so badly, just kept failing with RISP and got boned over by an incompetent umpire. thankfully we're running away with the division.

 

i'd be [expletive] bricks if this were a playoff game though.

[Ski]

Triple play please. It would fit in this unlikely game.

[squally1313]

Of course it has to be X-Pac. Whatever...good learning experience for Zystyzyzyzyss

[Ski]

THROW A horsefeathering STRIKE.

[BigSlick]

i dont really understand how you lose this game after all that but i guess you do

 

i hadn't felt this way before but i am fully on "just fast forward me to the playoffs" mode now

[CubInOK]

Shoot Zastryzny into Row Z.
